What are the highlights of the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympics?

Chen Shen introduced that Zhang Yimou, the general director of the opening and closing ceremonies, defined the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Paralympics as "warm and touching". "Therefore, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Winter Games are different from those of the Winter Olympics. The opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics are more about the beautiful environment and China's cultural concept, but what we expressed at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Winter Paralympics was the story and behavior of the disabled themselves, thus completing a warm and touching moment. "

In order to better present this theme, the director group has been looking for an expression that can make warmth eternal, and finally decided to add a special dance prop in the center of the National Stadium "Bird's Nest" on the basis of the concentric circles of the main visual image of the opening ceremony of the Winter Paralympic Games, combined with the presentation of ground pictures, to achieve the unity of "warmth", "memory" and "tolerance".

The creative team of the closing ceremony will continue the story of "a snowflake", and will use a circular visual symbol with a diameter of about 55 meters in the main venue of the Bird's Nest to highlight the core theme of "Eternity in warmth" and draw a successful conclusion for the Beijing Olympic Games. Zhang Yimou, the general director, said that this round symbol is a very eye-catching prop, and it will be a highlight of the closing ceremony, which is a bit like the feeling of folding willows, but this time the highlight is accomplished through a prop.

"We hope to keep our entire Winter Olympics (in this way) and keep this memory of our double Olympic city for our future generations to remember forever." Chen Shen said.
