Overnight, the "ice pier" dominated the screen. Online sold out, offline queues, some stores had to play the "limited purchase one" slogan. Netizens called for "one household and one pier" in a long line. Not only is it difficult to find a pier at home, but it has also become a favorite internationally, and a Japanese journalist said that he would throw away his clothes and fill his suitcase with ice piers when he returned home; the Prince of Monaco also hoped to take two "ice piers" home and give them to his twin children.
The Beijing Winter Olympics mascot "Ice Pier" combines the image of the panda with the shell of ice crystals rich in super energy, reflecting the characteristics of ice and snow sports and modern technology. The head shell shape is taken from the ice and snow sports helmet, decorated with colored halos, which is inspired by the "ice ribbon" of the National Speed Skating Hall of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the flowing bright color lines symbolize the track and 5G high technology of ice and snow sports; the heart shape of the left palm represents the host's warm welcome to friends around the world. The overall image resembles an astronaut, implying the creation of the extraordinary, exploring the future, and embodying the infinite possibilities of pursuing excellence, leading the times and facing the future.
The "ice pier" dominates the screen, not only because it sprouts new heights, but also because behind it is the heat of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the "hardness" of Chinese technology. Its super cool shell and super athletic ability carry the hope of Chinese "scientific and technological power" and "sports strong people", and it conveys the wish of Chinese the United States and the United States, and "going to the future together".
The heat of the Beijing Winter Olympics is constantly heating up, and people expect that if sports are strong, China will be strong, and sports will be prosperous. Since the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, 17-year-old Su Yiming has won the first Winter Olympic medal for Men's Snowboarding in China, Ren Ziwei has won the men's 1000 meters championship in short track speed skating, and Gu Ailing, who is considered a gold hit, has advanced to the final, Chinese's enthusiasm for ice and snow sports has been heating up. During the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup championship again after 16 years, which pushed the Chinese people's attention to sports and competitions to a new height.
The "hardness" of Chinese science and technology is amazing, and people hope that science and technology will become the foundation of national strength and prosperity, and innovation will become the soul of national progress. From robotic cooking to smart remote control beds, the Winter Olympic Village provides high-tech services for athletes from all over the world. At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, which showed "Chinese romance", the oversized 8K ultra-high-definition ground display system, artificial intelligence real-time capture technology, naked-eye 3D visual effects, hydrogen fuel safe utilization, storage, 5G signal coverage of the National Gymnasium and other technologies presented a brilliant and wonderful opening event for the audience, and keywords such as science and technology and strength were repeatedly lit.
"Ice piers" and "snow melting" are an outlet for people's enthusiasm for the Winter Olympics. As the designers put it, there is a warmth and softness under the ice shell of the "ice pier". In a world where the world has not changed in a hundred years and the new crown pneumonia epidemic is superimposed, I hope that the cry of "together to the future" can warm more people who are willing to hear.
