The affectionate interpretation gives back the expectations of netizens and encourages everyone to face difficulties and create a better future.
On the circular ice surface of the Capital Gymnasium, Jin Boyang, Peng Cheng and other Chinese figure skaters kicked off the "China Ice and Snow Night" activity with ice dance.
The list of China's ice and snow glory was unveiled at the event site, which were six honors: tribute to breakthrough, tribute to hard work, tribute to friendship, tribute to hard work, tribute to unity and tribute to excellence. The focus is to pay tribute to the more people who have paid and persevered behind the medal-winning athletes.
Tribute to breakthroughs
Jin Boyang, Peng Cheng, Jin Yang, Wang Shiyue, Liu Xinyu and other five Chinese figure skaters jointly staged the opening ice dance on the circular ice surface, kicking off the prelude to the event. Luo Zhihuan, the 82-year-old, the first Chinese athlete to win a gold medal in world speed skating, deliberately put on the uniform of the team when he won the championship that year to record a skating video, and through the video, together with Gao Tingyu, awarded the "breakthrough" honor to the steel frame snowmobile athlete Yan Wengang and the snowboarder Jung.
A tribute to hard work
Han Cong and Sui Wenjing unveiled the "Tribute to Cultivation". Team representatives such as medical staff, catering service personnel, team leaders, and IT support teams took the stage to accept the honorary snowflake.
Duan Xuebin, the honorary winner of "Cultivation", stationed at the Saihanba Sports Training Base of the Winter Sports Center for more than two years during the preparation of the national team, guarded the snow and cold wind and loneliness on the dam, and sent out one world champion after another.
Zhu Jing, the honorary winner of "Cultivation", as the director of the restaurant at the Winter Games Center of the State General Administration of Sport, eats a pot of dishes with the athletes during the event, and she said that the athletes are like a family.
Guo Yiqing, the honorary recipient of "Cultivation", was separated from his wife and daughter for a long time because of the Winter Olympics. Fighting all year round in Yanqing Xiaohaituo Mountain at an altitude of 2198 meters, measuring the "ice and snow" road with his feet in the severe cold and heat.
Tribute to friendship
Su Yiming's Japanese coach Yasuhiro Sato received the honor of "Tribute to Friendship" through the Internet connection, and it was Su Yiming who awarded him the honor. This link gave the audience and netizens a great surprise. The guitarist of the band on the side of the stage suddenly went to the center of the stage and took off his mask and turban, and it was Su Yiming himself. He played a song "Chengdu" for Coach Sato and played a small video of himself edited with Coach Sato for several nights, many of which were released publicly for the first time.
A tribute to hard work
Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei sent "fighting" snowflakes to the alpine ski team on behalf of the short track speed skating team. Tsinghua University and Ditan Hospital, which provide long-term support for the national team, have won the honor of "One Heart".
In the event, freestyle skier Gu Ailing played the piano and presented a speech full of personality and passion, "Confident Youth", expressing young people's understanding of self-confidence and attitude towards youth with his own growth experience and understanding of the world.
A tribute to excellence
Gold medal athletes and coaches such as Gu Ailing, Qu Chunyu and Fan Kexin won the "Outstanding" Snowflake.
It is particularly worth mentioning that people who usually dedicate themselves silently behind the scenes also appeared in front of the stage. In the event, talent display, translation and other links are completed by athletes, staff and their families, and there is no professional entertainer. For example, in the unveiling of China's ice and snow glory list, the four children are from ice and snow families; when awarding the honor of "Cultivation", the people who passed the trophies to Han Cong and Sui Wenjing were also the families of the employees; the Japanese translator when Su Yiming and Coach Sato connected was the staff of the Winter Games Center; and when the chorus "Singing the Motherland" at the end of the event, there were also many children from the ice and snow families. As behind-the-scenes personnel, they both took the stage to receive tributes and participated in the show itself. The performer of the chorus song "Weiwei" is also a child from the Shijingshan Ice and Snow School Choir, which fully reflects the mass nature.
At the end of the event, the five-star red flag raised by the Chinese sports delegation at the Tiananmen Square pledged to the grandstand of the Capital Gymnasium, recreating the glorious moment when Sui Wenjing/Han Cong won the championship and the audience sang "Singing the Motherland".
