On February 13, 1980, China participated in the Winter Olympic Games for the first time. It was the thirteenth Winter Olympics, and China sent a representative team to Lake Placid in the United States for the first time, and the best ranking of Chinese athletes was only 21st.

42 years later, China has undergone earth-shaking changes, Beijing has become a "city of the Double Olympic Games", and Chinese athletes continue to refresh history on the field. Looking at the two Winter Olympics 42 years apart, netizens broke the defense.
"No more marvel at foreign advanced technology, now we all have it, and we're ahead." "There is no dangerous road in front of the warriors, and the Chinese Olympic Team is invincible." "Today's Chinese team is writing one miracle after another." "Dreams, not luxury, as long as the brave first step, all the greatness comes from this brave beginning, come on, Olympic athletes." 」
