  On April 8, 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.

  It is almost a practice in China's political life to give high-level summaries and commendations to major landmark events.

Recently, both the commendation conference for combating the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the summary and commendation conference for poverty alleviation have left a deep impression on people.

In the eyes of the outside world, being good at summarizing experience is an important reason why the CCP can lead China to “go from one victory to another” in the continuous struggle.

  "Achievements come from struggle, and victory doesn't come easily." At this high-profile conference, Xi Jinping said when summarizing the experience in the preparation and hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics.

This expression summarizes the past, stands on the present, and cares for the future. Perhaps it can be considered from three levels.

  First, from the past "unusual" 7 years, you may be able to understand the deep meaning of it.

  "Ice and snow sports do not go out of Shanhaiguan" was once a portrayal of China's past. There is still a lame phenomenon of "strong ice and weak snow" in competitive sports. Nearly one-third of the Winter Olympics events are almost never held in China, and there are even no professional training venues. .

  The sudden new crown epidemic has become an "additional test question" for China to host the Olympic Games.

The global Olympic movement has been hit hard by the epidemic, world sports events have been suspended, and the Tokyo Olympics have been postponed for the first time in Olympic history.

It can be said that the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympic Games are advancing under extremely difficult circumstances.

  Over the past seven years, China has always kept and fulfilled its commitment to hosting the Olympic Games. All participants insisted that "you can't stop for a moment, you can't go wrong with one step, and you can't miss a day." It has been realized from scratch, and some projects have reached the world's advanced level.

For the first time, the Chinese sports delegation participated in the entire event, creating the best results in the history of participating in the Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics; and under strict prevention and control measures, there was no clustering or spillover during the competition. The foreign athlete said: "If there is also a gold medal for the epidemic response, China should get one."

  After 7 years of sharpening a sword, and looking back on the 7 years of hard work at the Winter Olympics, Xi Jinping described it as "extraordinary".

The 148 groups and 148 individuals commended this time come from all fronts. It is their struggle and dedication that has made a "truly unparalleled" Winter Olympics and a "eternal in warmth" Winter Paralympic Games.

  Second, it may be learned from the changes brought by the Winter Olympics to China.

  Through the positive interaction between the Olympic Games and the host venues, this sports event has brought tangible changes to China, and these changes have come from the hard work of countless Olympic participants.

  When the intelligent and self-driving Winter Olympics train flies over the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, and when the "wind of Zhangbei" becomes a clean energy "lighting up Beijing", the once small city outside the Great Wall is no longer blocked, and the city of the Winter Olympics has become a global winter city. Tourist destinations and regional synergy are animated by the Winter Olympics.

  Also because of the Winter Olympics, the remains of a century-old industrial park have been reborn.

On the bank of the clear Qunming Lake in Beijing's Shougang Park, IOC President Bach praised it as "a model of urban renewal".

There is no need for major repairs and constructions, and a new vitality can be radiated.

  The Olympic legacy is seen as an important achievement of the Games.

The Winter Olympic venues such as "Ice Ribbon", "Snow Flying Sky", "Snow Dragon" and "Snow Ruyi" were all opened to the public after the games. Ice and snow land has become a "golden mountain and silver mountain" for prosperity and revitalization, and "300 million people participating in ice and snow" have long been It has become a reality, and China's ice and snow territory is expanding in the "south expansion, west expansion and eastward expansion".

  When sports begin to integrate with economic, social, cultural, diplomatic and other fields, more complex functions have been activated.

The successful holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics has made people discover that the connotation and extension of sports have become so rich, and the value of serving people, as an intangible asset of sports, is shaping far-reaching changes here.

  Third, it reflects China's attitude towards the future.

  At present, the world is changing at an accelerated pace, and China is in a critical period of progressing towards the second centenary goal.

"Achievements come from struggle, and victory is hard-won." This sentence has a profound realistic orientation, reflecting China's attitude towards the future.

  The journey is long, only struggle.

It is in the struggle that the spirit of the Beijing Winter Olympics has been condensed with the overall situation in mind, self-confidence and openness, facing difficulties, pursuing excellence, and creating the future together.

Some commentators pointed out that the spirit of the Beijing Winter Olympics originates from sports and goes beyond sports, and will become an important spiritual guide for China to deal with many practical problems.

  Looking back on the 100-year history of the Communist Party of China, whether it is the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite" or the spirit of reform and opening up, whether it is the spirit of poverty alleviation or the spirit of fighting the epidemic, many great spirits together constitute the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists, and each specific spirit can always Give people clear guidance at critical moments, and engrave their own stamp of the times.

  As Xi Jinping said, great cause breeds great spirit, and great spirit promotes great cause.

  "To realize the dream of the Winter Olympics, let's go to the future together." On the new journey, the spirit of the Beijing Winter Olympics has more practical significance: in the future, China needs to face difficulties in high-quality development, and it needs self-confidence in the process of "two-way travel" with the world. Openness requires solidarity and cooperation with the outside world in solving global challenges to create a better future... The spirit of the Beijing Winter Olympics will become another key spiritual coordinate of China's future development, giving people inspiration and "" Towards the future together” with confidence and strength.
