2024-02-18   

On the eighth day of the first month of the the Year of the Loong, the speed skating hall of the Inner Mongolia Ice Sports Training Center was brightly lit, laughing and singing. The red ice lanterns outside the venue echo the fiery lanterns inside, and the colorful streamers on both sides of the stage hang down from mid air. The audience wearing red necklaces warmly applaud and cheer. "Chinese Red" and "Ice and Snow White" met and blended at the opening ceremony of the 14th National Winter Games, composing a new song for the Winter Games and singing the joyful song of Northern Xinjiang together. The Ice and Snow Feast of the Divine Land brings together snowflakes in the center of the stage, and the arms dancing with the actors gather and disperse. The light emitted from the snowflake lamp illuminated the venue, and the opening ceremony of the 14th Winter began. Representatives of outstanding athletes and coaches, including Sui Wenjing, Gong Xinlong, Ji Dong, Fan Duoyao, Tian Linyuan, Peng Yuexi, Guo Yanan, and Pian Xiangyu, entered the venue holding the flag of the National Winter Games. Subsequently, 8 advanced model figures from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region entered the venue holding the flag of the 14th National Winter Games. Accompanied by cheerful music, the referee represented the team and 35 delegations entered the field one by one. From the Great Wall to the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, from the summit of Changbai Mountain to the coconut forest island, from sea magnolias to snow yaks... When athletes enter the stadium, the unique elements of each delegation appear on the screen in the form of Chinese style animation, showcasing the charm of China. "Shanxi's first team competition", "Xizang's athletes who participated in the National Winter Games for the first time", "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region sent a 70 member delegation" - the "14th Winter" attracted 35 delegations from 31 provinces, autonomous regions and cities, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and Hong Kong and Macao regions to participate in the Winter Games, with the largest scale ever. Passion blooms on the grassland, dreams soar in the Winter Games. With the gradual manifestation of the achievements of the "South Exhibition, West Expansion, and East Expansion" of ice and snow sports, many delegations have set foot on the field of the All Winter Games for the first time. More than 3000 athletes will write a new chapter of the Winter Games with their hard work and sweat. The Bright Northern Xinjiang Unity Anthem features a resounding children's voice and a gathering of faint light. The background of the stage ranges from the brilliant stars to the rising sun, and the cultural and sports exhibition with the theme of "Burning Emotions and Building Dreams in Northern Xinjiang" begins amidst the singing. The top bowl girl dances gracefully, the poker players are passionate, and the stage becomes an ocean of song and dance. The songs of Northern Xinjiang are long and melodious, singing the magnificent scene of children of all ethnic groups working together and striving forward. We warmly welcome new friends and old friends who are not far away from the mountains and seas and are committed to unity. The long tune rang out, and the dancers dressed in red in the center of the stage sometimes looked up and sometimes kicked their legs, like galloping Mongolian horses, standing in the wind, stepping on the ice and lying in the snow. The sound of the horsehead qin is resounding, and the jujube red "Mongolian horses" and the silver white "herd of horses" converge to run towards the boundless distance together. Sha Xiaolan, the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 14th Winter, stated that the Mongolian horse spirit is a cultural symbol representing the spiritual character of the Inner Mongolian people. Through horse dance and horsehead qin performances, the Mongolian horse spirit is concretely expressed, showcasing the boldness, boldness, and boldness of Inner Mongolia. Beautiful Inner Mongolia is also modern Inner Mongolia. On the blue stage, the actors are adorned with halos above their heads, rapidly rotating the light and shadow cube, interweaving a highly technological scene. Inner Mongolia adheres to the path of ecological priority and green development, which is the country's "granary", "meat depot", "milk tank", and the golden signboard of "model autonomous region" is getting closer and closer
