Snowflake lanterns, light up the world; fold willows to send affection, sing songs.
The snowflakes that drifted from the opening ceremony are still light and romantic; "Ode to the Olympics", performed by children in the mountains, is still pure and beautiful. When the snowflake torch platform meets the dream five rings, when IOC President Bach announces the "closing of the 24th Beijing Winter Olympics", the Beijing Winter Olympics slowly draw the curtain in song.
One of the most eye-opening scenes of the closing ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, which savored Chinese elements and shining Olympic spirit, was undoubtedly the ubiquitous Chinese knot. From countless red ribbons flying into the bird's nest from all directions to weave Chinese knots, to the ice car sliding and carving Chinese knots in the field, to the entry of athlete representatives, the sky and the ground are wrapped by huge Chinese knot lines, and the Chinese knot has formed the most affinity beautiful image tonight.
When 2,877 athletes from 91 countries and regions rushed to Beijing to gather under the Olympic flag, this is unity; when more than 30 national leaders and heads of international organizations gladly attended the opening ceremony for the same dream, this is also unity; when athletes from different countries and regions expressed their blessings and goodwill with hugs, this is unity; when hundreds of millions of spectators applauded the wonderful performance of athletes, this is also unity.
The Beijing Winter Olympics were very successful, and it was a force of unity. As IOC President Bach said, the Beijing Winter Olympics have sent a message to the world that as long as everyone abides by the spirit of solidarity, if everyone contributes, then a grand event can be held.
"You have given peace a chance!" When the International Olympic Committee presented the Olympic trophy to the Chinese, we understood the meaning of struggle; when the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee and the International Olympic Committee worked closely together to dedicate an Olympic event that will surely go down in history for the world, we understood the connotation of unity even more.
The slightest effort of "you" makes the beautiful world intertwined. You are a Chinese from all walks of life, born in different eras, Chinese cultural figures, artists, scientists, engineers, students, thousands of volunteers... It is precisely because everyone contributes to the Beijing Winter Olympics that there is "a truly unparalleled Winter Olympics".
The shimmer is small, but the light is concentrated into a torch. A little effort, seemingly insignificant, but a little effort to connect, enough to weave a beautiful world of interlocking links.
President Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed on international occasions that "adhere to the beauty of beauty, beauty and coexistence", "beauty and coexistence, the world is the same", "the United States and the United States, harmony and symbiosis", and elaborated that "civilization is colorful because of exchanges, and civilizations are enriched by mutual learning".
The Beijing Winter Olympics is a grand event for international exchanges, as well as a grand event for the symbiosis of traditional Chinese culture and the Olympic spirit. Today, when we look at the successful hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics again, we are more and more aware of how deeply the "world is one, one under the heavens" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and how the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is in line with the trend of the times. In the closing ceremony, the 91 flags echoed the "Chinese knot" in the venue, showing the Olympic spirit of "more unity" and expressing the value pursuit of "the world is one and the world is one".
When the five-star red flag meets the five rings, this is the most beautiful encounter; when the silk is interlocked to achieve beauty and commonality, this is the common glory of mankind. With the end of the Beijing Winter Olympics, China's original intention for the Olympic Movement will not change, the spirit of the Olympic Movement will not change, the practice of the Olympic Movement's purpose will never change, and the determination to unite as one to the future will never change!
