  In winter, Chongli ushered in the "golden season" of the year.

  Riding the ski cable car all the way up, looking around, the mountains are white and snowy, and the ski trails are rushing down. Ski lovers indulge in the speed and experience the passion and joy of ice and snow sports.

  Recalling the scene when General Secretary Xi Jinping came here to inspect, Zhao Qiong, deputy general manager of the Chongli Yunding Ski Resort Marketing Center, was still very excited. "The day the General Secretary came, although the weather was very cold, everyone felt warm. General Secretary Said that in order to drive more people to participate in ice and snow sports, the Beijing Winter Olympics is an important promotion and an important guide for the ice and snow sports industry. Now, the number of ski resort receptions has doubled compared to four years ago."

  Chongli District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, is known as "the most ideal natural skiing area in North China". Many snow games for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will be held here.

The general secretary pointed out that the foundation of a sports power lies in mass sports.

Through hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics, my country's ice and snow sports, especially snow sports, should be promoted to better promote ice and snow sports among 300 million people and promote the building of a sports power.

"Have you found magic in skiing?"

  "The general secretary is amiable, and his concerns are both meticulous and professional." Speaking of the scene during the general secretary's inspection, Zhang Yan, the head of the Magic Ski Academy, is still fresh in his memory.

  At that time, Zhang Yan and his coaches were taking the children from the winter camp to train in the practice area of ​​the snow field.

"The children's costumes are more'cartoon', with horns on the helmets. Perhaps this has attracted the attention of the General Secretary. He waved to everyone and walked towards the children."

  The children gathered around in excitement, and the general secretary leaned over to communicate with them enthusiastically.

Seeing the words "Magic Ski Academy" written on the snow suit, the general secretary asked wittily, have you found magic in skiing?

  Zhang Yan noticed that the general secretary's eyes were full of care when he looked at the children. He asked carefully how long the winter camp was, how much it was charged, and what level of learning he could learn, and specifically urged that "safety must be guaranteed."

  The general secretary emphasized that ice and snow sports should start with children, and hope that a group of outstanding athletes will emerge from them in the future.

"The encouragement of the general secretary made us more confident and strengthened our determination to become a big ice and snow training industry." In recent years, Zhang Yan's ski academy has been expanding in Beijing and Chongli, and has also opened indoor skiing in Shanghai and Suzhou. The museum allows children in the south to experience the fun of ice and snow sports at their doorstep.

"There are more and more young people participating in ice and snow sports, and the future of ice and snow will definitely be better."

  China is strong if youth is strong, and China is strong if sports are strong.

  "Seeing the general secretary wearing the down jacket printed with the national flag and Olympic rings like the national team, we feel very cordial." Snowboarder Fan Xiaobing was training with the national training team in Genting. The arrival of the general secretary made the team A piece of boiling.

  "Hope for you, and for our young people." The general secretary's words were calm and powerful, inspiring and inspiring everyone's pride.

"Thanks to the motherland and the times. We must live up to the expectations of the General Secretary and go all out. The Winter Olympics is coming, and we hope to create a new history for China's ice and snow sports." Fan Xiaobing said firmly.

"Efforts to hand in two excellent answers for the preparation of the Winter Olympics and local development"

  "I was busy distributing goods for the ski team at the time, the store door was pushed open, and I looked up-isn't that General Secretary Xi Jinping? I thought this was not a dream." Recalling this scene, Tan Shuwen was still excited. .

At that time, she was a salesperson at a ski shop in the Yunding Ski Hall. The general secretary came to the shop to learn more about the price, origin and function of helmets, snow goggles, snow suits, and snowboards.

"The general secretary is particularly concerned about which domestic brands are independent. When he saw that a ski suit was a Chinese brand, the general secretary smiled and nodded."

  "Before going out, the general secretary also asked about the business in the store." Tan Shuwen replied: "It is getting better and better." After hearing this, the general secretary smiled and said, "Ice and snow sports have developed."

  During the inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "Efforts should be made to hand in two excellent answers for the preparation of the Winter Olympics and local development."

As a practitioner in the ice and snow industry, Zhao Qiong felt that the general secretary not only paid great attention to ice and snow sports, but also hoped that China's ice and snow sports industry would continue to grow and develop.

"The general secretary asks carefully, sees far, and thinks deeply, which gives us full confidence in the development of the ice and snow sports industry."

  In recent years, the number of people skiing in Chongli has shown a "spout-like" increase, behind which is the improvement of all links in the ice and snow sports industry chain such as ski resort construction, ski equipment sales, teaching training, ice and snow tourism, hotels and restaurants.

"From 2017 to the present, our ski wear output has increased by more than 10% annually," said Liu Zonglin, founder of Zhangjiakou Zhishan Sporting Goods Company.

  "The general secretary said that sports is an important social cause, and it is also a sunrise industry with a very broad prospect." Speaking of more and more nourishing days, ski coach Lu Yongshuai opened the conversation, "I have witnessed how ice and snow sports made Chongli follow 'Poor Mountain Nest' has become a'cornucopia'."

  In 1996, Chongli's first ski resort opened.

Lu Yongshuai, who was still in elementary school, followed his grandfather stepping on knee-high snow, walking over the mountains and ridges all morning, just to "see something new."

Now, he is a senior instructor at the Genting Ski Resort. He earns more than 100,000 yuan a year. He bought a house and a car. "My child wants to ski, so I brought her when I drove the car."

  According to statistics, Chongli has a population of 126,000 and more than 30,000 are engaged in ice and snow related industries.

One out of every 4 people eats "ice and snow rice."

  Once, the snow city was trapped in winter; nowadays, ice and snow are also golden mountains and silver mountains.

The change in Chongli reflects the leapfrog development of China's ice and snow sports.

  Once, ice and snow sports "do not leave Shanhaiguan"; now, with the solid promotion of the ice and snow sports "southern expansion, west expansion, eastward advancement" strategy, ski resorts and skating halls have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain. With the continuous improvement of sports level, the ice and snow sports industry is in the ascendant.

"Life is happy and happy, it is very important to keep fit"

  When visiting the ski resort, no matter where the general secretary goes, there are many ski enthusiasts around him.

Lu Zhanyou, a local skier in Chongli, said: "Everyone hopes to be closer to the general secretary and shake hands with the general secretary."

  In the face of everyone's eager eyes, the general secretary smiled and said, "What is the significance of hosting a green, economical and clean Winter Olympics?"

It is that the health of the whole people is the meaning of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

Keep fit and let the people live a better life.

  "The general secretary's words are in our hearts, and everyone can't help applauding." Lu Zhanyou said.

  "I have to come to Chongli for training every year. The time I saw the general secretary was the most memorable." Dong Mingwei, a member of the freestyle skiing national training team, was still very excited when talking about the scene. "I feel that the general secretary knows ice and snow sports very well. He said that our ice and snow projects still have shortcomings and need to be made up quickly. We must take advantage of the preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympics to develop our ice and snow sports in general."

  "Look at the men, women and children on the snow field, how happy they are. Now the high-speed rail is available. It is too convenient for a family to ski on the high-speed rail on weekends. The more popular the popular ice and snow sports, the more solid support for competitive sports. "Said Li Jian, a member of the national snowboard training team.

  "In this snow season, ice and snow sports continue to heat up. While we are doing a good job of preventing and controlling the epidemic, we are also doing our best to welcome ski enthusiasts from all over the country. What is gratifying is that there are more and more tourists from the south." Zhao Qiong said .

  Chongli, previously unknown, has now built 7 ski resorts and has received more than one million skiers in recent years.

This small town in northern Saibei is taking advantage of the Winter Olympics to grow into an internationally renowned ice and snow sports and ice and snow tourist attraction.

  "National Public Ice and Snow Season" and "China Ice and Snow Conference"...From the north to all parts of the country, from winter to the four seasons, mass ice and snow activities are being carried out in full swing, adding more diverse and colorful content to national fitness.
