Red toughness

Highlights: More than 100 slender "ribbons" of more than 10 meters long are fluttering, and the entire sculpture was created by more than 150 craftsmen and artists in three and a half months.

In Beijing, a new ice competition venue ("Ice Ribbon"), a blazing warrior sculpture of more than 10 meters long is moving forward, melting inner tenacity and sweat into hundreds of hot light and shadow "ribbons"; in Beijing Winter Olympic Park, 15 public sculptures of the Winter Olympics stand tall as the artistic and cultural heritage of the Beijing Winter Olympics to show the Olympic spirit; at the National Alpine Ski Center and the National Snowmobile Bobsleigh Center, the 7-meter-high "Zhang Lantern Colorful" sculpture expresses the integration of ice and snow sports and Chinese culture... These public sculptures are scattered like pearls in many corners of the Winter Olympic Games, becoming the world's attention to the Winter Olympic landscape.

At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, 27 groups of truce murals, ChiRen, Snow Dance 2022 and other 27 groups of stunning public sculptures have been branded with the "Made in Xiamen" artisan seal. Two years ago, the beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games public art works launched a global public collection, artists from more than 50 countries and regions submitted more than 1600 application plans, and finally the design draft was handed over to Xiamen Shengjiang Group and created by it.

"If on the field, competing for gold and silver and racing to rush the line is the highlight, then, out of the arena, the public sculpture of the Winter Olympics is an important window for the world to feel Chinese culture, ingenuity and inheritance, and manufacturing skills." Movement is instantaneous, and sculpture solidifies a moment into eternity. Chen Jianjun, head of the public sculpture construction team and chairman of the Xiamen Shengjiang Group Winter Olympics, said that the name of the sculpture and the production process of the sculpture itself are also the embodiment of the Olympic spirit and China's self-confidence.
