"Once living in poor mountainous areas, they have now successfully lifted themselves out of poverty, which not only reflects the results of poverty alleviation and the determination to achieve common prosperity, but also expresses the theme of 'more unity' in the Ice and Snow Winter Olympics."

"The 'Chinese knot' represents good wishes, but also means connection and connectivity. The athletes of the delegations have experienced 16 days of competition and life in China, formed new friendships, built new bridges, and brought each other closer together, making the Olympic family more united. Sha Xiaolan said.
In addition, Huang Hui, director of the closing ceremony, said, "After countless draft changes, we have found such a subtle, aesthetic and freehand way - 'folding willow to send affection', using a song, a group of people, a bunch of wicker, a beam of light, in a green shade of the spring back to the land, expressing a face to spring and the future." ”
In the process of the actor's march, the ground screen with the actor's walking path emits a little light, and the glowing wicker shines together.

During the extinguishing of the Olympic flame, the children sang the classic theme song of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games "Me and You" again with pure and immature children's voices, and the flag bearers of the participating delegations gathered to the central government.
"The five rings of stars that represent the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games rise, so ethereal and romantic, people seem to return to the magical, exhilarating summer night of 2008 – right here, right here!" Zhang Yimou described, "At the same time, the snowflake torch slowly fell, interlacing and dialogue with the five rings of stars in the air, once again paying an affectionate tribute to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games." ”
