In 2015, we know the good news that Beijing has finally successfully bid for the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, which has once again made Beijing the focus of the world's attention, and has also made Beijing the world's first "double Olympic city" to host both the Summer Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games.
On the occasion of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, I was in Beijing at the time, on behalf of domestic private car companies, responsible for assisting the rescue work of the traffic operation of the Olympic Organizing Committee, undertaking all the traffic operations and rescue activities between the Olympic and Paralympic Games, paying a lot of hard work, and finally gloriously received the award issued by the Olympic Organizing Committee, the Winter Olympics are coming, although I am no longer in the ranks of directly serving the Olympic Games, but I have led a service team of more than 300 people, and have worked hard for more than 100 days and nights. This scene appears in front of you from time to time.
At the time of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, as a private automobile sales group, we purchased nearly 100 new rescue vehicles, recruited nearly 300 demobilized veterans, underwent strict military training and elimination in changping military camp, and finally completed the heavy task entrusted to us by the Olympic Organizing Committee with quality and quantity. Looking back now, we all lived in the temporary tents set up by the Olympic Sports Center; the days and nights of the Olympic Games were held, when everyone was immersed in the splendor of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and the achievements of the athletes, we were in the temporary headquarters of the Olympic Sports Center every day, always concerned about the current situation of the main transportation routes between the venues in Beijing and in the city, and since then, I have understood the responsibilities and requirements of being a participant in hosting large-scale comprehensive sports events, and understand the country hosting the Olympic Games. Show the true significance of our country's comprehensive strength.
As a child who grew up in the south, I actually most of the ice and snow in the north are stuck in the concept of moving mouths and not freezing hands, in 2003, was sent to Harbin to work for three years, the ice and snow in the northeast has a more real understanding, remember when I first went to Harbin to work, driving an automatic car, the first day on the road there were three traffic "accidents", fortunately, it is because of the ice and snow road ice, the brakes are not working, and there is no too serious impact, but let me really understand the "cold and frozen" What I felt was a snow test drive in Hailar in the winter of 2006, minus 40 degrees, a temperature that I remember vividly, and for this trip, the thick down jacket and wool boots that I specially purchased are still in the closet, only used once, and almost never moved again.
The beauty of ice and snow, in my memory, belongs to the fleeting, although crystal clear, pure and immaculate, but cold to the point, cold and cold.
The most beautiful ice sculpture art festival in Harbin, I ran out from the time I went in to take pictures of the flowers, it only took less than ten minutes, but I felt that my body had been frozen, and the real feeling was the feeling of coolness.
Fortunately, in the winter in the north, the home is heated, which is incomparable to the comfort of the southern winter, and it is also the main reason why I like to stay in Beijing and settle down. In the winter, the home has become the main place for us to be tired, non-important matters, never go downstairs, and the public places within the scope of activities, almost all have temperature control and warmth facilities, so the living environment is basically based on comfort.
What really reminds me of that cold season of ice and snow is the recent hit "Chosin Lake" movie, seeing thinly dressed volunteer soldiers insisting on fighting in an environment of more than minus 40 degrees, which may be more profound for a person who has truly witnessed minus forty degrees.
In the 2006 Hailar test drive event, when we were almost all fully armed, thick down jackets, leather hats and warm pants, and cotton boots, holding various warm treasures and other defensive measures; even so, in that kind of icy outdoors, it was a huge victory to last at most ten minutes, I told my friends that I felt that the snot was frozen inside the nose, breathing would become very difficult, and friends also showed us the extremely cold perverted situation of splashing water into ice on the spot, the truth of the cold, Let everyone who has experienced it personally remember it vividly and not want to try anything more.
Seeing the soldiers in the movie being frozen to death and frostbitten, seeing the invaders armed to the teeth in such a difficult environment, I was infected by the spirit of the soldiers, and was deeply moved by the line: "The war we are fighting now is to prevent our children from continuing to fight."
What a simple language, and what a sincere idea.
It is precisely because of their tenacious fighting spirit of not being afraid of the cold and not being afraid of the US imperialists that we have a happy life now.
Now that it is an era of peace, we no longer need to face the harsh environment of the ice and snow and the enemy with advanced equipment, but in the face of the huge challenges brought by the new crown pneumonia epidemic to the world, the Beijing Winter Olympics can continue as usual, and also show the country's strong strength and self-confidence in overall planning from a certain perspective.
Looking at the information broadcast in the daily news: with the stunning appearance of the National Ski Jumping Center "Snow Ruyi" and the National Speed Skating Hall "Ice Ribbon", all the competition venues of the Winter Olympics have been completed, and as a former Olympic service staff, the touch and pride are beyond words.
Nowadays, the preparations for the Winter Olympic Games have entered the final critical period, and Beijing is opening its hands to gradually implement various overall plans, do a good job in epidemic prevention and control and event organization, and run the concept of green Olympics, shared Olympics, open Olympics, and clean Olympics throughout the entire process of preparation, and fully fulfill every commitment with the responsibility of a big country.
If the 2008 Olympic Games is to introduce Beijing to the world, but also to let everyone see a developing and enterprising China; then in 2022, the Beijing Winter Olympics and The Winter Paralympic Games are an important opportunity to further display the national image, promote national development, and invigorate the national spirit.
Winter, suddenly will gush out a warmth in the heart, it is no longer in my eyes that cold and cold season, there will no longer be a lack of clothing and food warriors to defend our happiness and pay the price of life, in this pure and immaculate arena, all kinds of athletes will use their healthy posture to bring us a wonderful sports feast.
And we can also sit in the warm spring home, enjoy the quadrennial sports event, the circle of friends can see a variety of sports display and tourism pictures, around the construction of various Winter Olympic sports venues and the promotion of competition projects, the smooth holding of the 2022 Winter Olympics, for the whole people to actively participate in outdoor sports, promote the development of winter sports benefits and fun, and inspire more people to understand and improve the physical fitness of the whole people, as well as carry forward the Olympic spirit are of great significance.
On the occasion of the Winter Olympic Games, we must cherish the hard-won warm and happy life today, and at the same time, we must also tell the world with practical actions: our country, our Beijing, our Olympic service preparations, even if it is cold outside, cold as ice, here is still warm as fire, warm as spring.
