Beijing 2008 ☀ Beijing 2022 ❄
Beijing is the first city in the world to host both Olympic Summer and Winter Games, on February 4, the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games was held! The wonderful pictures are dizzying.
Let’s review some great moment!
1. Fireworks over the bird’s nest display the words “SPRING”
Green spring seedlings symbolize the arrival of spring. As the first part of the countdown at the opening ceremony, “beginning of spring” is the most impressive piece of green in the center of the bird’s nest. This group is like the green sprouting and stretching of new grass. It is a matrix performance performed by nearly 400 students from the military school holding luminous poles.
2.Children sing the 《Olympic Hymn》

44 innocent children perfectly interpreted the Olympic Anthem “Olympic Hymn” in Greek with pure and ethereal sounds of nature.

These children are all from the old revolutionary base area of Taihang Mountain. They are real “children in the mountains”.

The red and white costumes are filled with the festivity of the Spring Festival and represent the sanctity of ice and snow.

3.500 children dance with snowflakes

In the 《snowflake》 chapter of the opening ceremony, hundreds of children held the prop lights in the shape of peace pigeons and danced and played freely in the bird’s nest. A children’s chorus of “snowflake” was melodious, clear, naive and moving!

In the view of director Zhang Yimou, this is the most moving part of the whole opening ceremony.

The children hold pigeon shaped lights in their hands, symbolizing the peace is shining on our way forward.
4.Light the main torch

The main torch and ignition mode have always been the most noticeable part of the opening ceremony.

As the last torchbearer put the torch into the “snowflake” center, the last surprise of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games was announced. The last torch is the main torch!

The “low fire” mode of ignition is unprecedented. Small flames convey the concept of low-carbon environmental protection.
