Original title: [Lanshan Analects] Bring together the powerful forces of "together to the future"

At the beginning of the New Year, the Olympic flame is burning in Beijing. A wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding ice and snow feast has attracted the attention of global audiences, narrowed the distance between countries in the world, shown the image of China full of sunshine, prosperity, openness and hope, interpreted the cooperation movement of understanding, friendship, unity and fair competition, and fully gathered the powerful force of "together to the future".

"The five colors complement each other, and the eight-tone ensemble is final and peaceful." Exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations are an important driving force for promoting the progress of human civilization and the peaceful development of the world. Read the Beijing Winter Olympics, from the creative design of the emblem, torch, medal and mascot, to the venue shape of "Ice Ribbon", "Snow Ruyi", "Snow Flying Sky" and "Snow Dragon", and then to the opening ceremony of "Twenty-four Solar Terms", "Chinese Snowflakes" and "Oriental Romance"... The unique "Chinese style", the strong "Chinese taste" and the heart-warming "Chinese feeling" not only make the Chinese culture and the Olympic Games shine together, but also let the Oriental Shen Yun empathize with the world, vividly highlighting the blending scene of "the beauty of each other, the beauty of the United States and the common".

"Faster, higher, stronger – more united", the Beijing Winter Olympics is also the first Winter Olympic Games held after the Olympic motto joined "more unity". Nearly 3,000 athletes from 91 countries and regions participated in the competition, and about 170 official representatives from nearly 70 countries, regions and international organizations attended the event. The gathering of guests and friends from all over the world in Beijing fully reflects the firm confidence of the international community in China's successful hosting of the Winter Olympic Games, and also profoundly reflects the strong hope of the people of all countries for "greater unity". Just like the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, the warm and grand scene: against the background of the five rings of ice and snow, the guidance board marked with the names of all delegations together constitutes a harmonious and brilliant "big snowflake".

"The journey of the avenue, the world is just." This idea actually contains the concept of "harmony" of Chinese civilization and profoundly conveys the common aspirations of all mankind. Although the historical, cultural, institutional and development levels are different, they all pursue the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom. Only by embracing "differences" in the search for "common" and seeking "unity" in respecting "differences" can we go hand in hand and create a better future. With the theme slogan of "Together for the Future", the Beijing Winter Olympics will gather global consensus in "harmony without difference, and seek great unity" to build a bridge of communication and exchange for the world.

At present, the COVID-19 epidemic is still raging around the world, and the problems facing the world are endless. Unprecedented risks and challenges have greatly tested our ability to cope, and we urgently need the sincere cooperation of all countries. The holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics has brought "you" and "me" together into "we", made the willingness of "more unity" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, resounded the strong voice of the times of "going to the future together", and vividly interpreted that "the Olympic spirit is the beacon of human unity". Taking the Beijing Winter Olympics as an important opportunity to enhance understanding, overcome differences, peaceful development, win-win cooperation, and jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind, the "global village" will usher in a better tomorrow.

"Let the sunshine of hope illuminate humanity." Adhering to the original intention of the Olympic Movement and carrying mankind's beautiful pursuit of peace, unity and progress, the Beijing Winter Olympics, which will surely go down in history, draw the largest "concentric circles" and write the largest "common denominator".

Let's share this glorious highlight moment!
