After the countdown enters the number 10, a picture scroll of spring appears on the big screen, the countdown returns to zero, and the opening ceremony of the BJ Winter Olympics officially begins.

176 delegates entered the venue with the national flag passed from hand to hand.

The people who carried the national flag included representatives of all walks of life in China, people of national merit, and representatives of 56 ethnic groups.

They are all ordinary people, using the way of hand-to-hand communication, expressing the emotions and relationships between the people and the national flag.

The bright five-star red flag accompanied by the solemn national anthem rose over the Bird's Nest, and at this moment, all the Chinese people were enthusiastic!

On the big screen at the scene, a drop of ice-blue ink fell from the sky and turned into the water of the Yellow River, pouring down.

In an instant, the entire venue was filled with the water of the Yellow River.

The river slowly froze, and the scene was quiet, turning into a world of ice.

A transparent ice cube condensed and rose from the ground.

The light and shadow on the Ice Cube flicker, showing the time that has been condensed and remembered—the history of the past 23 Winter Olympic host cities.

With the 24 "laser carving knives" that surrounded the audience, they flashed back to it, and finally froze as "2022 Dragon Kingdom Yanjing".

Ice hockey players interact with video puck hitting.

After the ice hockey ball repeatedly collided in the video space, it led to an even more intense carving—the entire ice cube gradually shattered and carved into a crystal clear ice and snow ring.

The teams of various countries entered one after another, and the Dragon delegation was the last finale.

Serving as flag bearers are men's speed skating athlete Gao Tingyu and skeleton women's athlete Zhao Dan.

The Yanjing 2022 Winter Olympics Dragon Country delegation has a total of 387 people, including 176 athletes, making it the largest Dragon Country Winter Olympics delegation. They will compete in all 7 events and 15 sub-events.

Among the 176 athletes, the oldest is 37 years old, which is the men's ice hockey player Ye Jinguang; The youngest is 17 years old, men's freestyle skier He Jinbo and women's ski jumper Peng Qingyue.

The audience stood up and greeted our Winter Olympics athletes with the warmest applause!

The President of the Yenching 2022 Olympic Organising Committee delivers a speech at the opening ceremony.

IOC President Thomas Bach delivered a speech at the opening ceremony:

"Welcome to the Yenching 2022 Winter Olympics! I wish the friends of Longguo a happy new year, a happy new year, and a prosperous Year of the Tiger! ”

At 21:51, the opening ceremony ushered in an exciting moment.

The state leader announced: "The XXIV Winter Olympic Games in Yanjing are open!" ”

Suddenly, the audience was boiling, and bright fireworks rose into the air, presenting the shape of "welcome pine" in the air, expressing the welcome to guests from all over the world, and the applause and cheers lasted for a long time.

Lennon's "Imagine" song sounds, and four groups of skaters glide on the snow on a long trajectory with the Olympic slogan: "Faster, Higher, Stronger – More United."

This is not the first time the song has been sounded during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

From the unforgettable performance at the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, to the children's choir and the singers at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

In 2022, this classic masterpiece will be brought to the Bird's Nest of the National Stadium, with romantic ice and snow elements, bringing everyone a soft and beautiful visual feast.

The singing is eternal, and the classics are passed on.

With the completion of the high-spirited Olympic anthem, the Olympic five-ring flag and the five-star red flag fluttered high in the night sky.

Over the next 16 days, the world's best winter athletes will gather under the Five Rings to continue to write a new Olympic story.

Thousands of snowflakes are competing to open!

The snowflakes representing each country are connected by an olive branch into a big snowflake, reflecting the beautiful moon of the lower Xuanyue, this scene shows the purity and romance of the people of the Dragon Kingdom.

This "big snowflake" is a small snowflake with the names of various delegations written on it, and it is gathered through an olive branch.

The last torch remained in the center of the snowflake and continued to burn, thus becoming the main cauldron of the Winter Olympics – it was actually in the audience's field of vision for a long time, and it was not until the final torch relay that another identity was revealed.

Although the spark is small, it is eternal!

The Olympic flame burns, and the moment of belonging to the double Olympic city officially begins!
