Located in the closed loop of the Winter Olympics, running between hotels, venues and press centres, buses are a convenient mode of transportation. It's fun to sit in the car and re-examine the city you live in every day as an "outsider."
The Beijing Winter Olympics shuttle bus is warm and thoughtful. In order to participate in the opening ceremony, many reporters need to rush back to Zhangjiakou from Beijing, and the last high-speed train at Qinghe Station has been waiting for the last batch of reporters to arrive before slowly driving out, and the humane move warms people's hearts.
Behind the warmth and thoughtfulness is commitment and credit. China has made every effort to overcome the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, earnestly fulfilled its commitments, and demonstrated its image as a big country that does what it says and does what it says.
During the journey, the Elements of the Winter Olympics can be seen everywhere, and next to the cute mascot "Ice Pier", there are always people stopping to take pictures. Also impressive is Chinese enthusiasm for participating in ice and snow sports - the simple ice rink built outside the mall, the children skating can smile; the crowded Yongding River Diversion Canal Ice Rink in the distance, the ice and snow bring people happiness...
In his speech at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, IOC President Bach said that China is already a country of winter sports. In just a few years, the original "difficult to get out of Shanhaiguan" ice and snow sports have allowed more than 300 million Chinese to participate in and enjoy, opening a new era for global ice and snow sports.
After the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, I often listened to the theme song of the Beijing Winter Olympics "Snowflakes" on the bus - "Snowflakes and snowflakes, open in the sun; in my hometown, in the distance, they are all the same." "The rustic lyrics speak to the spirit of the Olympic Movement – no matter where they come from or where they are, under the pure ice and warm sunshine, people can understand each other, share peace and friendship."
Remembering the night when the Chinese team won the first gold medal in the Winter Olympics, the bus slowly drove into the Capital Gymnasium. Accompanied by the children's natural song, the branches on both sides of the road suddenly lit up with snowflake lights, and the "snowflakes" poured down from the sky, "breaking through" the psychological defense line at once.
Sitting on the bus to watch the Winter Olympics, it is beautiful and very touching. (Liu Yao)
