Live Bar February 5, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics was held on the evening of the 4th, and the Hong Kong delegation of China participated in the Winter Olympics for the sixth consecutive time. After the opening ceremony, several members of the delegation expressed their honor, pride and excitement to the reporters.

The Hong Kong delegation has qualified for six consecutive Winter Olympics since the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Hong Kong delegation sent three athletes, the highest in history. At the entrance ceremony of the opening ceremony that night, under the leadership of the flag bearer Zhu Dingwen, the 12th hong Kong delegation of China appeared.

Chu Dingwen, a short-track speed skater who will compete in the men's 500m, said: "The Hong Kong delegation shows the sunshine, frankness and hard work of Hong Kong youth. Waving the district flag not only represents me personally, but also represents our team and the whole of Hong Kong, China, and it is my greatest honor to be able to wave the district flag at the Winter Olympics held in my own home country. ”

Behind Zhu Dingwen is Yu Guoxian, the president of the Hong Kong Ski Association of China, who has once again come to the "Bird's Nest" at the National Stadium after the 2008 Beijing Olympics. "Walking into the 'Bird's Nest' again, there is still a very strong sense of pride. The opening ceremony was wonderful and grand, and I felt the strength of the country. ”

Lu Shuo, vice chairman of the Hong Kong Skating Union, watched the opening ceremony in the stands that night, saying: "I was always in the stadium to participate in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics before, but this time I got another perspective, and the whole is very good. Hosting the Winter Olympics in the motherland feels very different. When the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, my heart was very excited. ”

Lu Shuo, who came out of the Jilin Short Track Speed Skating Team, led the Hong Kong team to four Winter Olympics as a coach, and he witnessed the gradual development of ice and snow sports in Hong Kong. "I've been in Hong Kong for 25 years, and it's very emotional to watch the ice and snow movement here from scratch to continuous participation in the Winter Olympics. We also recalled in the stands the scene of Hong Kong, China participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time, which was really touching. ”
