At 1 a.m. on Feb. 5, the entrance to Beijing's Haidian District Experimental Primary School was packed with parents holding flowers, excitedly waiting for their children to return after performing at the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. "It's past midnight, counting today's February 5th, which is Dukany's ninth day of closed-loop closed management." Dukani's father, Du Yuguang, looked at his watch, "Carney's confidential work is so good, I didn't even know they were so close to the main torch." ”
On the evening of February 4, Dukani and her classmates participated in the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, and their performance of the program "Snowflakes" was the first program to light the olympic torch. Dukany and her classmates witnessed the lighting of the Olympic torch. "It was shocking!" Dukany said to Dad.
"An unforgettable experience for a lifetime, everyone shines in their place and contributes to the success of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics." After attending the opening ceremony, Zhao Chunxiang, the flag bearer and the Greek flag at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, said.
Expedition
Risshun, February 4.
At five o'clock in the morning, capital normal university was still immersed in the night. The lights of the dormitory building are gradually turning on.
At four o'clock in the morning, Wang Xuefei, a junior at the Conservatory of Music, woke up. Thinking of the 5:50 meeting in the morning, Wang Xuefei got up early, sorted out the admission documents of his teammates, and Wang Xuefei boarded the departing bus.
"Beep--", at five o'clock in the morning, the loud wake-up whistle broke through the silent night sky, and the dormitories of the Chinese Min Public Security University were busy. Zhang Yu, a 2020 student at the National Security College, finished sorting out his internal affairs and carefully sorted out his hair and clothes in front of the mirror. He was a little nervous and a little agitated.
"Come on, my beloved daughter!" At 10:00 a.m. on February 4, Du Yuguang posted a group photo of himself and his daughter a few days ago in the circle of friends. "Send you on the expedition and expect you to triumph!" Although I don't know the location of your closed loop until now, seeing your state, When Daddy's heart completely let go. And classmates and teachers have a different Spring Festival, meaningful tasks to help you grow, let us go to the future together, tonight at eight o'clock to open. ”
On the evening of February 4, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was grandly opened. At the opening ceremony, Wang Xuefei held up a Slovakian guide card to guide the athletes to enter. Zhang Yu, a student holding the Chinese national flag and the flag bearer team, stood in the center of the "Bird's Nest" of the National Stadium, formed an arc, and appeared at the opening ceremony. Dukany and her friends danced on the field with lanterns in the shape of peace doves, forming a heart shape and surrounding the main torch, which was eye-catching.
Selected
At the beginning of September 2021, when the school announced the registration, Zhang Yu signed up. The director team came to the school and the students showed in teams of every 10 people. There are physical displays, but there are also other items. Zhang Yu's group is Lizheng: after standing, he looks at the clocks on the wall fixedly, and there is no comment at the selection site. Zhang Yu was "very nervous and nervous", not knowing whether he could be selected, he was afraid that he would not be selected, and he was worried that he would not be able to meet the requirements of the opening ceremony performance after he was selected. That night, when he saw that he had his own name in the shortlist, Zhang Yu shouted with joy, and the roommates next to him were startled by him.
After wang Xuefei was shortlisted for the primary election at the school, she became the leader of the guide team of Capital Normal University. During the third training, director Zhang Yimou came to the scene to select. Recalling the scene at that time, Wang Xuefei said that everyone was particularly nervous. "I have never met director Zhang Yimou, the first time I have seen it, it is still in this elimination selection, very nervous."
"Because I've only been training for two days, there are still some problems that haven't been corrected, and I'm very worried. When 10 people walked in a row, their faces twitched nervously, and they insisted on making movements while smiling. Wang Xuefei said.
On the way back to school, Wang Xuefei and the teacher of the Youth League Committee who led the school said: "Teacher, I am too nervous. If I don't get elected, I'll ask another classmate to be the tour leader. ”
In the evening, when Wang Xuefei was rehearsing the college dance drama, she received a text message from the selection. "At that time, I was very happy, I felt so lucky, and told myself that I must practice well!" Wang Xuefei said.
Dukani is a member of the Jinfan Dance Troupe of Haidian District Experimental Primary School in Beijing, and she has performed a lot in the sixth grade. "In October, the director entered the school for selection. Let's try a few moves, all the team members are seriously performing in the dance hall, and the director is carefully observing each person's movements and feelings. Dukany said. Finally, 46 students from Beijing Haidian District Experimental Primary School were selected for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Temper
"Today, there are 27 days left before the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. Let us use our hot hearts to witness the excitement of the Winter Olympics. On January 8, at the mobilization meeting of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Zhao Chunxiang, as the representative of the opening ceremony actors, stood on the podium of the Bird's Nest. This speech made Zhao Chunxiang feel a heavy responsibility.
83 steps, a minute and a half, arc to the prescribed position. As the flag bearers of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Zhang Yu and Zhao Chunxiang must be very precise in every step. After several months of training, Zhang Yu and Zhao Chunxiang have changed from mutual acquaintances before training to like-minded brothers. On the training ground, one look, two people can tacitly maintain the same movements.
A few minutes after the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the students trained for four consecutive months.
Starting from the National Day in 2021, the flag bearers will have physical training in the morning, including long-distance running, push-ups, curls, etc., and special training in the afternoon, including holding the flag, holding the flag, dropping the flag and other actions.
For Zhao Chunxiang, who carries the Greek flag, the first threshold for training is a smile. "In the daily training of Chinese Min Public Security University, our expressions are more serious. However, compared with the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games, it is more rigid. What the opening ceremony needs to show is youth and vitality, so everyone has to do smile training and show a soft smile. Now, this big boy of one meter and eight eight, smiling with a sunny face.

When she first saw director Zhang Yimou, Wang Xuefei was so nervous that she couldn't laugh, and she did enough to smile during training. Although she is a dance professional, Wang Xuefei in life is not particularly smiling. "At first, I didn't get used to having to laugh for an hour at a time. The facial muscles are out of control and the face twitches. Wang Xuefei said. From the beginning, everyone bit the chopsticks and practiced the smile training of showing eight teeth, to the smile practice throughout each training, everyone continued to practice the angle of the smile and the state of the apple muscle. "By keeping practicing, we found that we could keep smiling and everyone thought they were smiling even more." Wang Xuefei said with a smile.
The training of movements is continuous.
I leave the house at seven or eight o'clock in the morning and return to school at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening. Every simple movement must be trained a thousand times. Behind every action is tempering and giving.
The right hand straddles the chest, the left hand holds the flag, and the right hand supports the full weight of the flag and cannot shake. The height is the same, the distance is equal, time seems to stand still, and the right hand seems to be fixed.
In the winter bird's nest training hall, the temperature drops below zero at night, and the metal flagpole is held in the hand like holding an ice brick.
Zhang Yu and his classmates shook hands for an hour.
"The action of holding the flag, the arm is straight, keeping the flagpole perpendicular to the ground, and the requirements for arm strength are very high." Zhao Chunxiang said that the flagpole weighs fourteen or five pounds, and when there was no training at the beginning, everyone insisted on less than 1 minute, and now after three or four months of training, everyone can hold the flag steadily for seven or eight minutes.
At the opening ceremony, when athletes from all over the world entered, the camera of the guide was only a few seconds, but Wang Xuefei and his classmates practiced for several months. The seemingly simple lifting of the card also made Wang Xuefei and his classmates collapse. Hold up the lower corners of the guide card with both hands, first on the chest, the shoulder and elbow muscles are tight, hold it for an hour, then lift the guide card above your head, and then lift it for half an hour, at the same time, try not to blink. "At that time, I really had the idea of not being able to hold on, and without blinking for an hour, my eyes had begun to turn blue, and my arms would sometimes be sore to the point of unconsciousness." Wang Xuefei recalled, "But we are young people in the new era of China, what is this difficulty, our young generation is particularly willing to do things for the motherland, our young generation should stand where the motherland needs, with the most lofty spiritual outlook in front of the world." ”
Dukani, 12, is already the eldest sister in the opening ceremony performance team of Haidian District Experimental Primary School. When the rehearsal is intensive, I go to training after the second class and can't come back until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening. Once the rehearsal was late, and everyone was tired. No matter how the director shouts in the headphones, everyone's movements are still not neat. "Then the front suddenly lit up, and our eyes were immediately drawn to the past, 'Look!' It's an ice pier! Everyone shouted excitedly, and the ice pier turned its head to look at us, twisting its lovely body. The director encouraged us to say that the ice pier was still in front of us watching us dance, and everyone made the movements, showed the best side to it, and came on! After listening to this sentence, everyone seems to have the strength to do their best and work hard. Although very tired, it is also very happy. Dukany said.
Spring festival
January 28, the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month.
Twenty-six, cut the flesh of the year. At lunchtime, Du Yuguang clipped her daughter's favorite chicken.
After eating, Du Yuguang and his daughter packed their bags together, and Dukani chose the box of princess powder. In addition to daily necessities, she also installed the ice pier ornaments that her mother sent from the Winter Olympic Village.
Dukani's parents are both medical workers, this time, Dukani's mother became a medical volunteer in the Winter Olympic Village of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and has entered the closed loop of the Winter Olympic Village for more than ten days, plus the isolation period, about three months later to go home. The mother who is eager for her daughter sent a souvenir of the Winter Olympic Village to her daughter a few days ago.
Haidian District Experimental Primary School recently received a notice that the students participating in the opening ceremony performance of the school should implement closed-loop management, and Dukani and her classmates should leave home for the Spring Festival. This made dad, who was going to spend the Spring Festival at home with Dukanee, a little disappointed.
Before leaving, Dukani had a video call with her mother in the Winter Olympic Village, who remotely checked Dukani's luggage and asked for some details. "Kani and you have become glorious volunteers for the Winter Olympics, and they have to be managed in a closed loop, and this Spring Festival, I can only spend it myself." Dukany's dad said.

"Carney, you're going to accomplish the task gloriously. Dad is not uneasy, is to tell you to wash your hands more and do a good job of protection. If it's not convenient to wash your hands, just carry hand sanitizer with you. Out of the doctor's professional habits, on the way to send his daughter to the school assembly, Du Yuguang repeatedly reminded his daughter to pay attention to epidemic prevention.
The bus started slowly, and the father, who said that he did not have any worries about his daughter going out alone, waited until the car was far away before turning around.
January 25, the twenty-third day of the Waxing Moon, the Northern Year.
When entering the dormitory, aunt Wang Xuefei stopped her and gave her two ox yellow detoxification pills. Wang Xuefei took medicine and drank more hot water in the dormitory.
The last time I was training at the Bird's Nest, because of the cold and windy weather, Wang Xuefei was a little cold. It's been two weeks on and off. With only 10 days left before the opening ceremony, she was a little anxious about her cold. Immediately, she increased the dose and drank double the cold punch.
On this day of the new year, Wang Xuefei called her mother, and heard that her mother was making dumplings at home, and this Qingdao girl couldn't help but say that she liked mackerel filling.
January 31 is the long-awaited Chinese New Year's Eve by Wang Xuefei. Chinese New Year's Eve the day before, Wang Xuefei and her classmates trained until twelve o'clock in the evening before returning to the dormitory. Chinese New Year's Eve morning, Wang Xuefei made up for sleep. In the afternoon, I came to the "Volunteer Home" carefully arranged by the Youth League Committee of the school to find my roommate Shou Yunbi. "Happy Birthday!" This day is Shou Yunbi's birthday, and Wang Xuefei made a handmade lantern to give to Shou Yunbi. The first time she spent the Spring Festival and birthday alone, Shou Yunbi bought two cakes to share with her classmates, but she did not expect that her mother and brother were afraid that the cake would not be enough to eat, and each bought a cake for her. The two men carried four boxes of cakes, discussed which flavors were delicious, and the mood was also happy.
Chinese New Year's Eve on this day, the Capital Normal University prepared Chinese New Year's Eve meal for the students staying in the school. Wang Xuefei beat the ribs, and she said that she liked to eat meat. Wang Xuefei, who likes mackerel dumplings, chose a bowl of rice balls for herself Chinese New Year's Eve rice. "Reunion, sweet and sweet." She laughed.
Zhao Chunxiang and Zhang Yu, two "post-00s", are also the first time to leave home for the Spring Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve on this day, Chinese Min Public Security University not only distributed gift packages to students who stayed in the school, but also organized a dumpling making link. Zhang Yu, Zhao Chunxiang and their classmates wrapped and ate dumplings together to participate in the school's Chinese New Year's Eve party.
Chinese New Year's Eve night, Zhao Chunxiang called his parents. When he told his parents that everything was fine, Zhao Chunxiang changed a pair of comfortable shoes for himself. For the opening ceremony, uniform shoes were worn, and Zhao Chunxiang's new shoes were somewhat squeezed and his ankles were worn. Every time I just scab, it was my turn to train for the next time, and my ankle never got better. The matter of ankle injury training, Zhao Chunxiang never mentioned it to his parents.
pride
Dukani also did not mention the hardships of her training to her parents, this sixth-grade girl immediately went to the beginning of the school, academic pressure and training pressure intertwined.
After training until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, the little girl did not scream bitterly and tired. From the first time she entered the venue alone to review, to the first time she left home alone for the Spring Festival, the little girl's face was full of smiles. The only thing that can't be relieved is whether Dad has taken good care of the kitten cloth at home.
"In this nearly 4 months, there have been tears and hardships, but more than that, there are surprises, excitement and happiness." Dukany said. "I feel that my will is more determined, I have not worked so hard before, I may encounter some small difficulties, and I will give up when I think about it." But this time I feel that I can serve the motherland, I am very proud, proud, no matter how difficult it is, I can persevere. ”
February 2, the second day of the Chinese New Year. Wang Xuefei has stood with her teammates in the bird's nest and started the joint training. As the instructor of the opening ceremony, some of the students were candidates. When training, the person who plays every time is uncertain. Only at the last moment before playing do you know if you can play.
This also put a lot of pressure on Wang Xuefei and his teammates. But she has adjusted her mindset with her teammates. "We're just going to do things for the country, even if we can't get on the stage in the end, but we've realized our self-worth." Wang Xuefei said, "Thank you to my motherland and my school for giving me this opportunity." I am also glad that it was a good time to participate in this unforgettable task of a lifetime. How rare it is for such a small force to be able to devote himself to such a great cause as the country, and this is a glorious moment that I will never forget in my life. ”
Seeing that the flags of various countries have been received, and they have not yet called themselves, thinking that they may be the flag bearers of the flag bearer team, Zhang Yu is a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, the director finally handed him a Chinese flag. The classmates next to me were busy saying "congratulations." Zhang Yu felt a surprise falling from the sky. "I was very excited, and I felt that the weight of the national flag was particularly heavy." Zhang Yu said.
"When the national flag is handed over to me, the pressure is particularly great, and all the actors who pass by will see the flag for the first time, and then look at the person holding the flag." Zhang Yu said, "The children who participated in the show in the front will look at the flag of each country, and some of them may not know the flag, but the first national flag they absolutely know, that is the flag of our motherland." That's when I'm most stressed and when I'm most proud. As a reserve police officer of the Republic, this five-star red flag carries too much of my yearning and irrepressible excitement, and this five-star red flag and this task are also more and more weighty in my heart. ”
Back in time to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, 6-year-old Zhang Yu was watching TV at his grandmother's house, and the grand Beijing Olympic Games left a deep impression on Zhang Yu. At that time, he never imagined that he would one day become the flag bearer of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, holding the Chinese national flag in his hand and showing the style of Chinese youth to the world.
