This is an Olympic event that belongs to all mankind. Sunshine, prosperous, open and full of hope, China is opening its arms to welcome guests and friends from all over the world and share the glory and dream of the Olympics.

“We will fulfill our promise and present a simple, safe and exciting Olympic Games to the world.” On January 25, President Xi Jinping declared confidently when meeting with IOC President Bach.
It is unforgettable that on July 31, 2015, before the International Olympic Committee voted for the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, President Xi Jinping’s strong and powerful voice resounded throughout the venue: “I believe that if you choose Beijing, the Chinese people will definitely be able to Dedicate a wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding Winter Olympics to the world in Beijing!”

The promise of a great country is as heavy as Mount Tai; the words of a great country must be carried out. After more than 6 years of careful planning and more than 2,000 days and nights of hard work, all preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics have been fully completed, and China has lived up to the world in the new era.
The hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympic Games was made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core taking over the overall strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great changes unseen in the world in a century, with the aim of realizing the “two centenary goals”. Major decision-making is a major landmark event held at an important historical node in my country, and an important opportunity to show the country’s image, promote national development, and invigorate the national spirit.
From putting forward the concept of “green, sharing, open and honest” Olympic Games, to clarifying the requirements of “simple, safe and exciting” for hosting the Olympic Games; from putting forward the goal of “driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports”, promoting sports power and healthy China Construction, to the emphasis on coordinating epidemic prevention and control and organizing events, and guiding local governments to hand over two excellent answers for Winter Olympics preparation and local development… General Secretary Xi Jinping personally planned and personally promoted the bid and preparation of the Beijing Winter Olympics, successively 5 on-site inspections and preparations for the competition, and many important instructions have been given, constantly injecting strong thinking and action for the Beijing Winter Olympics.

With the unremitting efforts of “getting early and not late”, the “Blueprint for the Winter Olympics” has gradually become a reality. All 12 competition venues have been completed ahead of schedule. The number of people participating in ice and snow sports has reached 346 million… Bach can’t help but sigh: “Despite the impact of the epidemic, the preparations for the Winter Olympics are progressing very smoothly, which is almost a miracle!”
This Chinese miracle, which has caught the attention of the world, is the result of the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the result of the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and the result of the united struggle of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

From the Summer Olympics to the Winter Olympics, the love between China and the Olympics has been continuously written, and the Chinese nation has never stopped chasing its dreams.
In 1917, the young Mao Zedong exclaimed: “The constitution of the nation is becoming more and more delicate, and this is a phenomenon that is even more worrying.” In the years of broken mountains and rivers, poverty and weakness, whether it is the deafening “Olympic Three Questions” issued by the Chinese, or Liu Changchun’s lonely figure at the Los Angeles Olympics, they are all telling the ups and downs and helplessness of the old China’s Olympic road. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Communist Party of China led the people to struggle tenaciously, and the dream of the Olympics, which was once out of reach, has increasingly become a reality. From 1952, when the five-star red flag was raised at the Olympic venue for the first time, to the “zero breakthrough” of China’s Olympic gold medal in 1984; from the realization of the century-old Olympic dream in 2008, to 2022, Beijing has become the world’s only “Double Olympic City”—— The history of the Chinese people’s participation in the Olympic Games, bidding for the Olympic Games, and preparing for the Olympic Games is a vivid epitome of the great leap that the Chinese nation has ushered in from standing up, becoming rich, and becoming strong, and it is a profound interpretation of the Chinese people’s historical initiative and firm historical confidence.
Bing Ning Xue Wu, the right path is vicissitudes. Coming from the depths of history and running towards a bright future, the Beijing Winter Olympics has provided a colorful new window for understanding China. Shaheed, President of the 76th UN General Assembly, said: The Beijing Winter Olympics “showed the best of China”.
This is the vigorous atmosphere of China’s development and progress in the new era. Answering the comprehensive examination paper of national strength for the preparation of the Winter Olympics, “Made in China” showed its talents, scientific researchers bravely climbed the peak, craftsmen of great countries strive for perfection, various reforms are further advanced, opening and cooperation are flourishing, the Chinese people are self-confident, tolerant, and high-spirited. Vivid scenes of howling winds and dragons rising to the clouds!

This is the spirit of a great country to overcome difficulties. The preparation of the Beijing Winter Olympics not only faces the severe challenges of the epidemic, but also faces the adverse current of the politicization of sports, as well as an endless stream of new problems and situations. “How can plum blossoms be so fragrant without going through the bitter cold?” Under the strong leadership of the party, the Chinese people race against time and struggle against difficulties. Fully demonstrating the significant advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, Halma declares that no force can stop the Chinese people from realizing their dreams.

This is elegant and broad-minded civilization. Reading the Beijing Winter Olympics, one by one “Chinese-style romance” bloomed brilliantly: the sports icon of “Little Red Man” originated from the pinnacle of seal carving art “Han Yin”, and the shape of the torch relay tinder lamp was inspired by “China’s No. 1 Lamp” in the Western Han Dynasty. Xin Palace Lantern, the design of the National Ski Jumping Center “Xue Ruyi” draws on the traditional cultural symbol “Ruyi”, and the courtyard landscape of the Winter Olympic Village creates a classical garden artistic conception of “Treading the Snow to Seek Plums”, just like the medal with the heart and the jade bi, which contains the great harmony of the world. The pursuit of… When the Chinese knot and the five Olympic rings complement each other, when the Chinese culture and the Olympic culture coexist in harmony, there will be a beautiful encounter in the world.

“From the Beijing Winter Olympics, we can see China’s future.” After witnessing the preparations for the Winter Olympics, many foreign media reporters expressed such emotion. The Beijing Winter Olympics is not only a “covenant of ice and snow”, but also a “covenant of development” between China and the future.
This agreement conveys the temperature of “people first”. Taking advantage of the “Dongfeng” of the Winter Olympics, my country’s ice and snow sports played the “Four Seasons Song” and pressed the “Fast Forward Button”. National fitness was widely carried out. The people’s concern about “where to exercise” and other problems are being solved, and sports are growing healthily among young people. It plays an increasingly important role in the development of sports. Ultimately, it is to continuously meet the needs of the people for a better life and to promote the health of the whole people and the all-round development of people.

“The Communist Party is to serve the people, to make the people’s life better day by day, and to live better year by year.” On the eve of the Spring Festival, General Secretary Xi Jinping braved the wind, snow and cold to come to Linfen City, Shanxi Province, to serve the villagers. Send the concern and condolences to the Party Central Committee. Whether it is the Olympic venue or the development examination room, the Chinese Communists always insist on putting the people at the center, and take practical actions to achieve “the people’s worries, I will read; the people’s expectations, I will do.”
This agreement has polished the background of green development. The National Aquatics Center has explored the energy-saving plan of “water ice conversion”, and the Yanqing competition area has practiced the design concept of “mountain and forest venues, ecological Winter Olympics”. During the competition, 100% of the conventional energy in all venues uses green electricity, and all new venues have been formulated for post-competition utilization. The plan… The Beijing Winter Olympics, known as the “greenest”, vividly interprets the concepts of “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”, “ice and snow are also invaluable assets”, and paints a moving picture of ecological priority, green and low carbon to the world .
This agreement, surging the vitality of innovation and creation. The advanced carbon dioxide transcritical direct cooling ice-making technology has paved the “fastest ice”, the domestically produced high vanadium airtight cable has woven a “sturdy net”, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technologies have created a “smart pavilion”, robots “Chef” cooks “heavy meals” for people… A series of dazzling “black technologies” show the “futuristic sense” of the Winter Olympics, showing the imagination space and infinite charm of innovation and development.
This agreement has opened up the meridians of regional development. In recent years, under the strong traction of preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympics, the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has seen an “acceleration”, and a picture of development that resonates at the same frequency and works together is unfolding: industry development complements and promotes each other, and public services jointly build Sharing, joint prevention and control of the regional environment, Jingzhang accelerates the construction of a “one-hour life circle”, and pragmatic cooperation allows Chongli people to hold the “snow rice bowl” at their doorstep and live a more and more prosperous life…
Some people say that the best way to predict the future is to create it. The future has come, in the light of the new development concept, in the figure of every struggler.

“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not victory, but participation; just as the most important thing in life is not success, but struggle.” Coubertin once explained the Olympic spirit in this way. The process of running the Beijing Winter Olympics well is the successful practice of the new Olympic motto of “faster, higher, stronger – more united”. The spirit of the Chinese nation and the Olympic spirit are blended and stirred in the land of China and in the hearts of the Chinese people.
There is a responsibility called perseverance: in the mountains and mountains, the builders braved the low temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius, gnawed the “hard bones” in the implementation of the project, and carved out the magnificent figure of “Xuefeiyan”; there is a kind of power called hard work. : On the training ground, athletes sweated and fought hard for the wonderful performance on the field; there is a kind of inheritance called dedication: from the “Bird’s Nest Generation” to the “Ice New Generation”, the volunteers completed a passionate youth relay…

On the vast snowfield, people rode their horses galloping, and the five-star red flag in their hands fluttered in the wind. A touch of “China Red” is a deep blessing and a spiritual inspiration. Victory belongs to every dream catcher, and glory belongs to every forge ahead!

“Let the sunshine of hope illuminate mankind” – At the beginning of the new year, President Xi Jinping made a strong voice of the era of “jointly creating a better world in the post-epidemic era” in his speech at the 2022 World Economic Forum video conference.

At present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic is still raging around the world, and various global problems are complex and difficult to solve. Where are humans going? Countries around the world are not on more than 190 small boats, but on a big boat with a common destiny. Strengthening cooperation and helping each other in the same boat is the only correct way out. As UN Secretary-General Guterres said, “The Olympic spirit is a beacon of human unity”. The “more unity” advocated by the Olympic Movement is what is most needed in today’s era. The theme slogan of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics “Together to the Future” expresses the common aspiration of all mankind.
Like the warm sunshine in the cold winter, the Beijing Winter Olympics is the first Winter Olympics to be held after joining “More Unity” as the Olympic motto. A new chapter in the common value of mankind and the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. Christopher Dolby, executive director of the Olympics Department of the International Olympic Committee, firmly believes that this event will show how the world can overcome difficulties and become stronger together.

Fire is the symbol of human civilization.
