2015年CRI 冬奥会的主题曲

 

Primary school kids from Beijing Yang Fang¹ Dian Centre Primary School are singing a song to express one's love for winter and winter sports. The relaxing and simple melody is easy for kids to sing.

"I really like this song. I like it very much."

The children are not detached to winter sports. Zhao Jia-lin, an 11-year-old primary school student, has played winter sports for 4 years. In winter, her family spends almost every Sunday in the ski resorts in Zhangjiakou.

"I started skiing when I was 7 or 8 years old. The first time I skied I was really scared and nervous. But after practicing, I am not afraid anymore. Skiing is really fun, and I enjoy it very much."

Ever since Beijing bid to be the host city of Summer Olympic Games in 2001, the school Jia-lin comes from has been carrying out a campaign of 'Olympics into Campus'.

With the promotional activities of 'Olympics into Campus', children can surely learn more about winter sports. As indoor ski resorts have become popular in recent years, children can enjoy skiing all year round. Third grader Yang Qi-hua has already planned to practice skiing with friends in indoor ski resorts nearby during the summer holiday.

Li Ni-na, the ambassador of Beijing's bid, shared her experience of skiing with the students in the promotional campaign. She also shared the experience of Chinese athletes at the Winter Olympics.

"Take a look at this picture. This is me flying in the air. I am an aerial skier². Has anybody ever watched this event? In fact, China has lots of world champions on winter sports events. For example, Han Xiao-peng, the first person to win a gold medal for men's freestyle skiing event in Winter Olympics in 2006. We also have Li Jian-rou, an Olympics champion in short-track speed skating. Their success is not determined³ solely⁴ by luck. They have put in lots of effort.

Chance favors only the prepared mind."

Winter sports have gained popularity in China. Students from all over the country may become athletes or volunteers in 7 years time at the stadium of 2022 Olympic Winter Games. Wherever they go, the most important thing is the joy it brings from playing winter sports.
