Don't forget the good buddy of the ice pier! It's not that he's not red, he's just not at work yet

With the opening of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

The mascot ice pier became the new top stream

At various Winter Olympic licensed merchandise retail stores

Sales are hot, and a "pier" is difficult to find

meantime

Don't forget

The good partner of the ice pier is melting snow

Dream Linkage! The design of "Snow Melting" is very ingenious

As a winter Olympic mascot

The first mascot that glows inside

The mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games is snowy

The design is based on lanterns

It means inclusiveness and mutual learning, mutual understanding and integration

It represents harvest, celebration, warmth and light

Beijing Winter Paralympic Mascot "Snow Rongrong"

The ruyi shape at the top symbolizes auspicious happiness

A continuous pattern of peace doves and the Temple of Heaven

It symbolizes peace and friendship

Highlights the characteristics of the venue

The snow blocks on the face represent both the meaning of "Ruixue Mega Year"

It also embodies an anthropomorphic design

Highlight the cuteness of the mascot

Lanterns, peace doves, temples of heaven

......

How do these elements blend together?

The mascot of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games is snow melting

The designer behind it

Is a cute post-95 female student

Studied at Jilin Art College

Jiang Yufan

Jiang Yufan told reporters

The prototype of snow rongrong is during the Spring Festival

Red lanterns hanging from doorways

The name of "Snow Melting"

One is the "tolerance" of inclusion.

One is the "fusion" of integration.

The middle area is a smudged patch of snow

In the northeast

Snowball fights are a common entertainment

Smash the snowball on the other person

Cheerful and lively

The design works are welcomed by so many people

She felt lucky

"Because not everyone's efforts can be seen

And I was discovered by everyone."

For Jiang Yufan, who was in his junior year at the time

The work can enter the revision stage

It's already a great honor

"From Changchun to Beijing

When I went to a meeting with the teacher

Still a bit shocked

Can't believe it

There was a pie-in-the-sky feeling."

She said

After Beijing returned

The school organized a professional team to help Jiang Yufan realize his dream of the Winter Olympics

September 17

The mascot Xue Rongrong was officially released to the public

The scene of the press conference

Jiang Yufan stood under the stage

Watch your own creations

She told reporters

"At that moment, my whole body was so excited that I was numb."

Snow Rongrong seems to have no mouth?

Since the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics

The heat of the mascot remains high

Some people questioned

Just look at the appearance

To this

Jiang Yufan explained

Snow Rongrong has a mouth

"It has an arc under its snowy little face

That arc is the mouth."

There is also a detail that is easy to overlook

Many netizens began

Paint or make two cute mascots yourself

When drawing

Automatically think of the ice pier as a "boy"

Xue Rongrong is a "girl"...

But, actually

The two of them are "genderless"

Because according to the rules of the IOC

Mascots cannot have gender differences

Because there can be no gender differences

So the ice piers and snow melting can't "talk"

This is in the upcoming animated film

It is also represented in "Our Winter Olympics"

In the animation

Ice mounds and snow melt appear many times

But none spoke

Instead, it makes a "whoosh" sound

"Once you're talking it's easy to tell the gender

therefore

When the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee signed an agreement with the producers

Just put 'when using ice piers, snow melting images.'

Can't speak and should be gender neutral' clause

Wrote it in

equally

In the production of the Winter Olympics promotional video

And when filming movie videos related to the Winter Olympics

If there is an image of 'ice pier' and 'snow melting'

Generally speaking, you can't talk."

The relevant person in charge of the legal affairs department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee

In a previous interview, he said so

subsequently

Reporters flipped through the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics

and the official website of the Winter Paralympic Organizing Committee

Check out the ice mounds and snow melting promotional video finds

In the film the two mascots do not make any sound
