On the evening of April 16, the Beijing Capital Gymnasium was once again brightly lit and bustling, and the layout of the venue still retained the original appearance of the Beijing Winter Olympics. After nearly two months, the Athletes of the Winter Olympics once again walked here to pay tribute to the people from all walks of life who paid silently behind the Chinese Ice and Snow Night, and awarded them the "Golden Snowflake" of China's Ice and Snow Glory List. Stepping off the field and embarking on the Chinese ice and snow night, the athletes of the new era also showed everyone their confident, youthful and colorful side.
The first to appear were Jin Boyang, Peng Cheng, Jin Yang, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu, five members of the figure skating team, who staged the opening ice dance on the circular ice surface to kick off the event. The first thing to reveal is the "tribute to the sudden". The 82-year-old Luo Zhihuan was the first Chinese athlete to win the speed skating world championship, and Luo Lao deliberately put on the team uniform when he won the championship that year to record a skating video, and together with Gao Tingyu, awarded the "breakthrough" honor to the steel frame snowmobile athlete Yan Wengang and the snowboarder Jung.

Subsequently, the "frog princess" Gu Ailing jumped like a little frog to the stage. That night, she wore a black suit and a long hair shawl, changing the image of a sleek and slippery hand on the competition field and becoming a leader at the forefront of fashion. At that time, everyone did not know what kind of performance she would bring, and when she walked to the front of the electronic organ, the bouncing Gu Ailing instantly transformed into a quiet musician and presented a song "Memory of Love" to everyone. After the music, Gu Ailing, who was affectionately called "our friend" by netizens, brought a speech about "youth". According to Gu Ailing herself, her speeches have never had written speeches, almost improvisational performances, "just like friends chatting, more real and relaxed." When asked how to improve self-confidence, Gu Ailing replied: "My first suggestion is exercise, exercise, you can run, swim, ski, etc., exercise can really bring about a big change." "For the love of sports, I believe that some Beijing citizens have witnessed it with their own eyes. After the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing's figure of running in the streets and alleys of Beijing was often captured by netizens, and almost every day someone posted a video of Gu Ailing running on the Internet. Her healthy and well-proportioned figure and sunny life have been positively influencing everyone from the Winter Olympics to the present. That night, Gu Ailing showed his talent in music and speech, and everyone couldn't help but ask what was the content that Gu Ailing was not good at. In this regard, Gu Ailing also revealed: "I am also a very messy person at home, throwing things around, often unable to find clothes. ”
The other side of the off-field athlete continues to be revealed. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming won the gold medal in the snowboard jump and the silver medal in the slope obstacle course, and his relationship with Japanese coach Yasuhiro Sato was also touching. On a night of Chinese ice and snow, Yasuhiro Sato was honored with the honor of "Tribute to Friendship", while the guitarist of the band on the side of the stage suddenly walked to the center of the stage and took off his mask and headscarf, which was Su Yiming himself. He played a song "Chengdu" for Coach Sato, and played a small video he personally edited, and many of the pictures of the coach's life training were released publicly for the first time. Su Yiming introduced that in the past 4 years, he and coach Yasuhiro Sato have met almost every day, and this time I want to give the coach a surprise. "Chengdu is of particular significance to us. Because of the epidemic, we have not seen each other for a year and a half, and we have been teaching online video every day, and Chengdu is the place where we meet for the first time after a year and a half. Su Yiming said that last summer and Sato Yasuhiro trained for a long time in Chengdu, and many of the actions at the Beijing Winter Olympics were completed during training in Chengdu.
In the interactive interview session, the host presented Li Wenlong with the number "21" made by fans in a total of 21 photos of all ages during his growth, representing that he is 21 years old this year. From the different photo poses in the photo, it can be seen that in addition to skating, Li Wenlong's favorite is Ultraman, "When I was a child, when the boys in the school class took photos, they were all Ultraman gestures. "Li Wenlong under the arena is much less shy when he was first known for participating in the Winter Olympics, and more mischievous and easy-going of many big boys." At the request of netizens, he will use videos to record his life and share them on social platforms, and he will see reporters holding up their devices to record videos when they take the initiative to compare "Yay" gestures to the camera.
"Give me wings so I can soar." Give me strength, you make me strong..." Another athlete who brought surprises was Qi Guangpu, a singer who claimed to be delayed by skiing, and his song "The Most Beautiful Sun" surprised the audience. Looking closely at the audience seats, other teammates lit up the sea of stars for him with the flashlight of their mobile phones, and there was also a fan group with the highest gold content in history, Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, and Gao Tingyu, who cheered for him and interacted with him. "Pay tribute to every Chinese ice and snowman, you are the most beautiful sun, because you have such a wonderful Winter Olympics, only to have our excellent results, today this song is sung for you." 」 Qi Guangpu said.
