(A close look at China) Bean buns, pies, dumplings... The "Chinese flavor" of the Beijing Winter Olympics mentioned by Xi Jinping

　　China News Agency, Beijing, April 8 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) "The Chinese New Year's flavor, fragrant bean buns", "Gu Ailing loves pies, and foreigners also love dumplings"...

　　On the morning of the 8th, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, attended the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics Summary and Commendation Conference and delivered an important speech.

At the scene, these Winter Olympic foods and short stories pointed out by Xi Jinping caused the participants to smile.

　　The lively and honest "Bingdundun", the festive and peaceful "Xuerongrong"..., the twenty-four solar terms, the water of the Yellow River, the Chinese knot, the welcoming pine, the willow and the love, the theme song of snowflakes..., the waltz of the hearing-impaired actor , the sign language version of the national anthem, the singing of the Blind Children's Choir, the ignition of the visually impaired athletes... Looking back at the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics, Xi Jinping mentioned many impressive elements of the Winter Olympics in his speech. It reminds one of the real and touching Winter Olympic stories.

They restore a three-dimensional and vivid Winter Olympics in subtleties.

　　For example, Maltese athlete Janice Spiteri did not forget to take a bite of her beloved bean bag to give herself "something sweet" while waiting for her results, and let the bean bag become popular in the world.

Another example is the athlete Gu Ailing, who was once hotly discussed on the Internet because of her love of eating leek pie, and became a veritable "promotional ambassador" for the Winter Olympics food.

There is also a "heartfelt words" of the International Olympic Committee President Bach who was convinced by the Winter Olympics food: If you stay in the Winter Olympic Village for three days, you will gain another ten pounds.

　　The full Chinese flavor of the Winter Olympics food has attracted foreign athletes. It is also like the Chinese hospitality during the Beijing Winter Olympics, interweaving the "Winter Olympic Dream" and the "Chinese Dream".

　　"Foreign athletes reluctantly said when they returned home: 'I'll cry on the plane, I'm going to choke up, love you guys.'"

　　The quote that Xi Jinping quoted in his speech came from 18-year-old American snowboarder Tessa Maud.

Since she arrived in China, she has continued to update her Winter Olympics "circle of friends" on social media, attracting a lot of attention around the world.

The story of her friendship with Chinese volunteers has also been passed down as a good story.

　　On the last day of her stay in China, she once again expressed her reluctance through a short video: "I am very sad", "I will cry on the plane", "I will come back to China after the epidemic is over, and meet the new friends who have made friends in China. friend"......

　　During the Beijing Winter Olympics, some U.S. politicians spared no effort to politicize sports, artificially create estrangement and even confrontation. Under such circumstances, such a true expression can truly break the estrangement and let the world see the power of communication and sports.

　　In fact, Tessa Moder was just one of many foreign athletes who forged a deep friendship with China during the Beijing Winter Olympics.

From the exchange of hats between German athletes and Chinese volunteers, to the Spanish athletes expressing their gratitude in Chinese, from the Canadian Olympic team writing a letter of thanks to the Chinese side, to the official release of the Russian Olympic Committee's thanks to the athletes, there are so many touching stories.

　　As Xi Jinping said in his speech, the successful holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics has promoted exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations, played an important role in promoting global solidarity and cooperation to overcome difficulties together, and also contributed to the turbulent world. Brings confidence and hope.

　　"If there is also a gold medal for epidemic response, China should get one."

　　In his speech, Xi Jinping mentioned this sentence, which was expressed by Belgian athlete Linda Le Bon when she felt the prevention and control of the epidemic at the Winter Olympics.

　　Linda Le Bon enjoyed the trip to the Beijing Winter Paralympics very much, and the epidemic prevention policy under the severe epidemic made her feel particularly at ease.

She said after the game that the stadium's epidemic prevention work has been done very well, and every place makes people feel safe, which is a different experience from other international stadiums.

Athletes can put their heart and soul into the game.

　　"The closed loop of the Beijing Winter Olympics may be the safest place in the world" "I feel very safe here"... During the Beijing Winter Olympics, foreign athletes are often heard saying this.

　　Against the backdrop of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Beijing is facing unprecedented risks and challenges in hosting the Winter Olympics.

To this end, China "estimates difficulties more fully and thinks more deeply about risks", sorts out and investigates risk points in various fields and links in an all-round way, establishes a normal working mechanism, constantly finds problems, researches and solves them in a timely manner, and actively and properly response.

　　During the game, the proportion of positives in the closed loop was only 0.45%. All positive personnel were effectively treated and well cared for. There was no cluster or spillover epidemic, and the city’s prevention and control was dynamically cleared.

　　The sense of security of foreign athletes and the Winter Olympics anti-epidemic transcripts show that China's epidemic prevention policy has once again withstood the test. The holding of this Winter Olympics has also provided useful experience for the global fight against the epidemic and the holding of major international events.

Regarding the anti-epidemic "gold medal" in the mouth of foreign athletes, Xi Jinping said: "This gold medal belongs to all Olympic organizers!"

　　These short stories of the Winter Olympics mentioned by Xi Jinping also reflect the appearance of a wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding ice and snow event.
