Above the "Bird's Nest" of the National Stadium, the main torch of the big snowflake is still shining, as if it is frozen here from the moment of opening.
Sixteen days ago, a winter Olympic event began here. Over the course of 16 days, ice and snow athletes from 91 countries and regions shined, creating moments of glory that showed the world what "faster, higher, stronger — more united."
The opening is the beginning of the reunion, and the parting is the starting point of the future.
At 8 p.m. on the 20th, a farewell party began. In the sound of smart music, children carry brilliant and joyful snowflake lanterns, and light up the "Winter" character emblem on the venue in the interaction with the main torch of the big snowflake, opening this reunion before parting.
"Flower lanterns" is a traditional custom of the Chinese Lunar Lantern Festival. When the Winter Olympics and the Chinese New Year meet unexpectedly, the world family meets at an important festival in China. China has added a unique flavor to the Winter Olympics, and the world feels warm to China because of the Winter Olympics.
A huge "Chinese knot" generated in real time by AR technology rises and floats over the "Bird's Nest". Winter Olympic athletes from all over the world seem to enter between the heavens and the earth connected by the "Chinese knot". The interconnection within the arena stages an exciting competition and transcendence; the interconnection outside the arena gathers the spiritual strength of the future.
"2022, have me! "2022, have us!" Two retrospective short films were played on the live large screen.
From the bid for the Olympic Games to the Olympic Games, Chinese live up to the time and present a simple, safe and wonderful Olympic event to the world as scheduled. One by one, the "I" full of personality constitute "we", and the moving moments left by "we" paint a dream picture of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
Now at the time of farewell, fold a wicker to send goodbye to friends. "Willow", the sound is the same as "stay", the ancients always had to fold a wicker to give to distant pedestrians when sending farewell. Folding willows to bid farewell, from the ancient poetry chanting of a thousand years ago to the present, has never been broken. The melodious "Farewell" music sounded, and 80 dancers walked out of a "weeping willow map" on the ice surface of the venue in the form of human-screen interaction.
Fluttering willows are more than tree species that continue to live, floating into people's hands and turning into sparkling willow branches. 365 ordinary people from all walks of life and all ages in China holding willow branches gathered in the center of the venue, symbolizing the remembrance and remembrance that remain unchanged 365 days a year.

The beam of light turned from white to green, and the entire site was dyed green. People wander in the greenery, symbolizing the farewell and love of life for a long time.
In the past period, the world has been shrouded in the haze of the epidemic, and the future and destiny of mankind have never been so closely linked. Now, the bitter cold midwinter is dying, we will enter such a vibrant and green spring, and the world will finally come out of the pain of the epidemic and usher in such a timely gathering.
After the handover of the flag, a theatrical performance entitled "Twin Cities Bihe • Juli Lianhui" began. Four years later, Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, will present another Winter Olympics reunion.
Thinking back to that reunion 14 years ago, the Olympics came to the ancient oriental country for the first time, and the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing took off into the air, becoming a classic moment of the 100-year Olympic Games. At this moment, the theme song of "Me and You" was sung again, flag bearers from all over the world rushed to the center of the venue, the five rings rose in the same way as when the Beijing Olympic Games opened, the big snowflake torches fell staggered, and the double Olympic moment met each other.
The children's singing transitioned from "Me and You" to the theme song of the Beijing Winter Olympics, "Snowflake", and the main torch of the big snowflake slowly extinguished in the pure and immature singing, and the flags of the various delegations were lit up.
From Beijing to Beijing, the Olympic spirit flows endlessly; from Beijing to the future, the Olympic spirit lights up the world.

The five-ring fireworks once again bloom in the night sky. Above the bird's nest, fireworks form the word "one in the world". Finally, a huge aura of fireworks rose in the air, symbolizing the successful end of the Beijing Winter Olympics and symbolizing the Olympic spirit of "greater unity" to guide the future.
After saying goodbye tonight, let's move forward together. Goodbye Beijing, goodbye in the future! (End)
