In the blink of an eye, the progress bar of the Beijing Winter Olympics has already passed the halfway mark.
Even many athletes from overseas have completed their own Winter Olympics and embarked on the way home.
Yesterday, American snowboarder 18-year-old Tessa Maud shared her last half hour at TikTok in Beijing's Winter Olympic Village.
In the video, Tessa sits on the edge of her bed, scattered with unpacked luggage, and expresses her reluctance to the camera.
In Tessa's sharing of her breakfast and outfit on the last day of the Beijing Winter Olympic Village, she also mentioned many times that she was in tears because of her upcoming journey.
In Tessa's comment area, netizens from Tiannanhaibei sent their blessings and relief.
"Oh my God, thank you for documenting your Olympic journey with TikTok!"
"You should be proud of yourself! It's not the end, it's just the beginning! ”
"Don't cry, you're amazing, it's going to be an unforgettable memory, and you're welcome to play again." Hope next time you can get more try and experience. ”
Tessa Maud, an 18-year-old American snowboarder who at 18 has made her Olympic debut, is trending on Weibo.
Story from "Welcome to China!" Begin...
For the past dozen days, the young athlete has been updating his Winter Olympics trip in real time on social media.
A week ago, Tessa posted a number of short videos on TikTok to share her feelings about participating in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics with netizens. In one of the videos, Tessa said she couldn't help but burst into tears whenever she recalled the opening night when volunteers shouted "Welcome to China."
Tessa uploaded a vlog a week ago in which she shared a touching moment during the Beijing 2022 opening ceremony, when she yelled out "hello" in Chinese to the volunteers and one of them yelled back in English, "Welcome to China!"
This video attracted a lot of attention and soon Tessa received a letter from that volunteer, Sun Zeyu, who is from Tsinghua University.
The video quickly attracted a lot of attention, and netizens in the comments section were moved by the Olympic spirit displayed by athletes and volunteers that transcend politics and break prejudice.
"Oh my God, they all look so happy!"
"That's the Olympic spirit. Thank you for recording such a wonderful moment! ”
"This is the Olympic video we should see, people celebrating the Olympic spirit together." Not the political and media agendas. ”
Soon, the volunteer brother in Tessa's video, Sun Zeyu from the third year of undergraduate in the Department of Energy and Power Engineering of Tsinghua University, wrote a reply to her.
In the letter, Sun Zeyu thanked Tessa for helping him record unforgettable moments in his life, and also wished Tessa good results in Beijing.
Tessa, who received a reply, quickly thanked Sun and all her new friends on TikTok.
Self-made all-round Winter Olympics "VR Experience"
For her first Winter Olympics experience, Tessa was filled with curiosity and enthusiasm.
She explores every inch of detail with vigour and shares her insights with the world without reservation.
Over the past half month, Tessa has shot a series of short videos about the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, recording her daily life in the Olympic village in detail. Tessa and her videos have become popular online.
Even NBC reported that Tessa filmed everything she did with the Olympics for the first time.

Of course, in the many Winter Olympic Vlogs with rich Tessa themes, food is also an important part.
Looking at Tessa's videos, diced kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, Peking duck, poplar nectar, noodles, dumplings, pancakes... Eating from the south to the north, from the staple food to the dessert, can not be described as comprehensive.
These sincere records have touched countless people.
A large number of Chinese netizens were "circled" by this happy and enthusiastic American girl, and invited her to come back next time.
