On February 18, Gu Ailing won the championship in the final of the women's U-shaped field skill of freestyle skiing at the Beijing Winter Olympics. It coincided with the 18th birthday of Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming.

From being partners who encouraged each other at the age of thirteen or fourteen, to becoming sports idols today, Gu Ailing and Su Yiming showed the spirit of athletes to challenge limits and pursue their dreams, and the pictures of sharing happiness and enthusiasm with their opponents inside and outside the arena also made the Olympics shine more charming. What they learn from skiing, they want to share it with others; they always hug other players in the first place after the race; they convey the energy of youth with stylish equipment and expression. At that moment, they jointly spoke for ice and snow sports, showing the beauty of ice and snow sports to the fullest, and sharing the "beauty and common beauty" of Chinese culture with the world.
Sharing, let everyone take off with their own love and persistence. From a small actor to a champion of the Winter Olympics, Su Yiming's achievements are the fruit of the practice of "driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports", and also the performance of China's snowboarding mass base is becoming more and more solid and the atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. As China's youngest Winter Olympic champion, Su Yiming also has his own ideas: "I think it is time to set a better example for those who like snowboarding who are younger than me and younger than me, and use their greatest energy in snowboarding." 」 ”
Looking at ski resorts across the country, snowboarding has become a trend. Many beginners are willing to ride freely on the snowboard even if they wrestle a few more times, and feel a different wind. Among these people, it is possible to produce more "Su Yiming" in the future.

Sharing makes the "Chinese style" more vivid in the Winter Olympic Games. "My favorite dish is roast duck." Gu Ailing's words after the game made Beijing roast duck the most sought-after delicacy in the Winter Olympic village, consuming 80 at its peak at noon.
On the social media of ice and snow athletes, a group photo full of Chinese elements and a sincere and simple expression recorded the unforgettable winter Olympic journey of each athlete. "Since the Winter Olympics, I have eaten 200 dumplings." American female player Julia Marino was successfully "circled" by dumplings. Maltese athlete Janice Spitery must have bean bags for three meals, and even in the gap between waiting for points after the game, she did not forget to take a bite.
Sharing, let the Chinese culture on the winter Olympic field become the "national style trend". In the figure skating competition, the design of the competition clothes of ice dancers Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu is inspired by landscape paintings, the male companion is "mountain", the female companion is "water", using the color of Chinese painting, painting classical patterns, taking the meaning of green mountains and green water, full of artistic beauty.

At the Capital Gymnasium, accompanied by an affectionate and gentle song of "Liang Zhu", American figure skater Chen Kaiwen danced. On the field, the players told the story of China to the world, showed Chinese culture, and became a beautiful scenery on the stage of the Winter Olympics.
Inside and outside the arena, the lively and thick "ice pier" combines the image of the giant panda with the shell of the ice crystal, interprets China's self-confidence in creating extraordinary and exploring the future, and shows the national character of valuing harmony and hospitality, which has aroused emotional resonance on a global scale and become another vivid sample of the rise of the "national tide".
The Beijing Winter Olympics have played a movement of unity, friendship and progress, and in the sharing inside and outside the arena and in the vision of "going to the future together", the ice and snow event has built a bridge for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations around the world.
