The Beijing Winter Olympic Village provides dining for more than 1,700 delegation members 24 hours a day. Chinese dumplings and roast duck are particularly popular. At its peak, more than 100 kilograms of dumplings are eaten a day, and more than 80 roast ducks are consumed at lunchtime.
This shows that hosting the Winter Olympics is also a good opportunity for cultural export.
There are always people who think that running the Olympic Games cannot be economically divided because of the high cost of running the Olympic Games and the large follow-up maintenance costs of facilities, and it is not recommended to run the Olympic Games.
But this news shows that foreign athletes, during the Winter Olympics, accepted our cuisine and should also understand our food culture.
Food culture is an important part of our culture, and this part of culture can even define what is Chinese.
In this process, foreigners, including foreign athletes, may dissolve our misunderstandings and estrangement. If they fall in love with our cuisine, they are likely to become the disseminators of Chinese culture after returning to China.
This will further promote the spread and promotion of Chinese culture in foreign countries.
Therefore, hosting the Winter Olympics is equivalent to opening a window for cultural exchanges. Not only the economic account, but also the cultural account.
