In 2019, the mascot of the Beijing Paralympic Winter Games was announced.
"雪容融" (Shuey Rhon Rhon) has been welcomed by many netizens as soon as it came out.
"Xue Rong Rong" uses lanterns as a prototype for its design and creation.
The ruyi shape on the top symbolizes good luck and happiness; the continuous pattern formed by the dove of peace and the Temple of Heaven symbolizes peace and friendship; the decorative pattern incorporates the traditional Chinese paper-cut art.
Snow, a symbol of whiteness and beauty, is the characteristic of ice and snow sports.
Tolerance means tolerance, tolerance, communication and mutual learning.
Fusion means fusion, warmth, and mutual understanding.

In addition to the naive mascot, the design of the emblem and medal also reflects the characteristics of the Paralympic Games.
The name of the emblem of the Paralympic Winter Games is "Feiyue", and its design combines the art of Chinese calligraphy with the sporting characteristics of the Paralympic Games.
The design shows the dynamics and strength of the Chinese character "fly", cleverly transformed into an athlete gliding forward and rushing to victory, and at the same time visually expresses the form of special sports equipment such as wheelchairs for the Winter Paralympics.

The Paralympic Winter Games medals and the Winter Olympic Games medals use the same image source, and the designs are in the same continuous line.
The center of the front of the medal is engraved with the International Paralympic Committee logo, surrounded by the full English name of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games (Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games) and gold, silver, and bronze braille.

The center of the back of the medal is engraved with the emblem of the Beijing Paralympic Winter Games, and the full Chinese name of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games (Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics) is engraved around it.
The name of the competition event of the winning athlete is engraved on the outermost ring on the back of the medal.
After the Beijing Winter Olympics in February next year, the Beijing Paralympics is also worth looking forward to.
I wish all the Paralympic athletes, the level of the competition and the style of the competition.
