The reporter saw at the scene that these works are rich and colorful, and the cute Winter Olympic mascots "Ice Pier" and "Snow Rongrong" are particularly popular, and most of the works are indispensable to their figures. The people who visited the site also competed to take photos with the "ice pier" and "snow rongrong" dolls and kanban specially displayed in the painting exhibition.

The entries also expressed their blessings for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and SITI FATIMAH BINTI AHMAD from Selangor won the runner-up in the upper primary school group, in which she specially painted "Ice Pier" and "Snow Rongrong", with the Great Wall and Cuizhu as the background. "Green bamboo symbolizes the good luck of the Winter Olympics to the participants; the Great Wall is a symbol of China, which carries the spirit and feelings of Chinese."

Zhang Jiexin, director of the Chinese Cultural Center in Kuala Lumpur, told reporters that although the exhibition is limited to online reservations according to the local epidemic prevention and control requirements, and the flow limit is open to the public, once the registration is opened, many reservations are received at all times, especially during holidays and weekends, and all periods are preemptively booked.
