Remember the cute baby and puppy in the opening film? Bei Bei and Wang Zai were playing in Hainan

Original title: Remember the cute baby and puppy in the opening ceremony short film? Bei Bei and Wang Zai were playing in Hainan

A 1-year-old cute baby dressed in red squatted on the snowboard and slid steadily, followed by a Chinese pastoral dog that trotted... At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, this short film "Future Champion" showing Meng wa skiing became the most cute scene in the whole scene, melting the hearts of audiences around the world. Meng Wa's little name is Babe, who started her first skiing experience in her life at 11 months, and she can stand on the snowboard without walking, and her puppy with her is called Wangzai.

Ms. Fan, Bebe's mother, said that in November 2021, a family who had never been exposed to skiing was on vacation at Chongli Ski Resort and wanted to take their daughter to experience ice and snow sports. "Babe was only 11 months old at the time, but she was curious about the snow and ice, and as soon as we took out our snowboard and helmet, she clapped her hands excitedly, as if she wanted to try it." Unexpectedly, the first time she stood on the snowboard, Babe was not afraid, and glided steadily along the ramp for a while, and turned herself a few times on the way. Wangzai, a stray dog adopted by the family, followed Babe all the way, like a knight who was loyal to the Lord. Ms. Fan posted a video of her daughter skiing for the first time on the Internet, which immediately attracted praise from netizens.

What Ms. Fan did not expect was that the video also attracted the attention of the director team at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, who invited Bei Bei to participate in the filming of the short film. "The staff of the director's team told me that director Zhang Yimou saw the video of Babe skiing and thought it was very cute." Filming took place in Chongli last December and lasted for one day. Although Babe is young, she is not afraid of the stage, does not cry or make trouble in minus 20 degrees Celsius, and performs well in a big red ski suit. Ms. Fan said that the shooting team did not deliberately guide, the filming is the most natural state of Babe, "I heard that director Zhang Yimou also specifically instructed that the little dog Wangzai must also be filmed together." Because of the successful completion of the shooting, Babe also received an ice pier donated by the snow field on her birthday.

On the night of the opening ceremony, the Babe family waited in front of the TV set, waiting for the figure of their daughter to appear. "We don't know which shot the director team will eventually choose, so she sat Babe in a small chair, she was very excited, I think she can understand some of the pictures, such as when there are skiers coming out, she points to the TV and says 'board'. It was almost 10 o'clock in the evening when the short film was played, and she usually went to bed at 9 o'clock, but she still insisted on seeing the scene of her appearance. Ms. Fan said that she did not expect netizens to react so enthusiastically to the short film. Who can withstand the double "cute crit" of Cute Baby and Puppy? Many netizens said that Babe can't walk to master the balance, too talented, and the puppy that accompanies him all the way is very intimate and warm.

Ms. Fan revealed that she and her husband have always enjoyed travel and various outdoor sports. After the epidemic, the two began to work remotely, and after having Babe, they made a bold decision - to return the house rented in Beijing, customize a caravan, and take a baby and a dog to "go south and north" in the way of "caravan + homestay" and travel by car. Now, the Beibei family has driven from Beijing to Hainan in a caravan, blowing the sea breeze in Hainan.

Ms. Fan said they would take Babe on a trip as planned. "We'll take her ski every winter from now on, and when she's older, she has her own ideas and wants to try any sport, her dad and I will fully support her."
