The Winter Olympic Plaza | favorite artist singing about the ice and snow

Recently, the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Beijing Municipal Federation of Literature and Literature, and the Beijing Musicians Association jointly launched the Winter Olympics theme single "Forever You and Me", which was released globally by Universal Music and has appeared in major music streaming media. As a gift from Chinese and Italian artists to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, the song was composed by songwriters Zhang Heping and Shu Nan, and sung by Lei Jia and Andre Bocelli, and Lang Lang played the piano.

The song "Forever Together" closely follows the Olympic spirit that symbolizes world peace, friendship and unity, and the music is warm and soothing, conveying the firm strength of working together in the same boat, achieving peace and moving together to the future, as well as the belief of working together with the people of the world, watching out for each other and creating a better future.

Shu Nan said: "From 2008 to 2022, it is more than a decade of great changes in our country, how should music better present changes, how to embrace the world? Perhaps the best way to fuse 'most ethnic' and 'most world' is to merge them. Shu Nan invited Lei Jia, a famous singer representing Chinese national music, and the world-renowned Italian singer André Bocelli, as well as the famous pianist Lang Lang, to jointly carry out this creation. Teams in China and Europe started work at the same time: Shu Nan recorded the Lei Jia part in Beijing and filmed the MV at the same time; Andre Bocelli recorded and filmed the footage in Milan, Italy; lang Lang's team organized a team in Paris, France, and recorded the piano part.

Andrei Bocelli readily agreed upon the invitation, "China has an extremely rich history and profound cultural heritage, it is a country I love, and I am honored to make a modest contribution to the Beijing Winter Olympics." From either perspective, culture and art contribute to mutual understanding between people, provide valuable support for peace and development in the world, make people close to each other and eliminate any possible mistrust. ”

Lang Lang said: "'Forever Together' is like a memory and echo of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, and it also fully demonstrates the new face of Beijing as a 'city of the two Olympic Games'. This song is full of Chinese elements and reflects our yearning to share the ice and snow world with people all over the world. ”
