Winter Olympic athletes from all over the world seem to enter the arena between the heaven and the earth connected by the "Chinese knot".

"2022, with me!
""2022, with us!
”, two short retrospectives were played on the big screen at the scene.
It is hard to let go of time. From the bid to host the Olympics, the Chinese have lived up to their time and presented a simple, safe and wonderful Olympic Games to the world as scheduled.
One by one "I" full of individuality forms "we", and the touching moments left behind by "we" paint the dream-chasing picture of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
Now it's time to say goodbye, break a branch of wicker to say goodbye to friends.
"Liu", the sound is the same as "stay", when the ancients said goodbye, they always broke a branch of willow as a gift to those who traveled far away.
The willow farewell, from the ancient poetry singing thousands of years ago to now, has never been cut off.
The melodious "Farewell" music sounded, and 80 dancers walked out of a "weeping willow" on the ice surface of the venue with human-screen interaction.
The fluttering catkins susten the sorrow and farewell, and they are more life-continuing tree species. They float into people's hands and become crystal and shiny willow branches.
365 ordinary people from all walks of life and different age groups in China, holding willow branches, gathered in the center of the venue, implying 365 days of constant memory and longing.

The light beam turned from white to green, and the entire field was dyed green.
People roaming in the green, symbolizing farewell to life and love for a long time and endless life.
In the past period of time, the world has been shrouded in the haze of the epidemic, and the future and destiny of mankind have never been so closely linked.
Now, the bitter cold winter will pass away, we will enter such a green and green spring, and the world will finally come out of the pain of the epidemic and usher in such an occasional reunion.
After the flag was handed over, the artistic performance titled "Twin Cities, Gathering and Lianhui" began.
Four years later, Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy will present another Winter Olympics reunion.
Thinking back to the meeting 14 years ago, the Olympic Games came to the ancient eastern country for the first time, and the five rings rose into the sky at the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, which became a classic moment of the century-old Olympic Games.
At this moment, the theme song "Me and You" is sung again. The flag-bearers of various countries rushed to the center of the venue. The fifth ring was raised in the same way as at the opening of the Beijing Olympics.
The children's singing transitioned from "You and Me" to the Beijing Winter Olympics theme song "Snowflake". The main torch of the big snowflake was slowly extinguished in the pure and tender singing, and the flags of each delegation were lit up.
From Beijing to Beijing, the Olympic spirit flows continuously; from Beijing to the future, the Olympic spirit lights up the world.
