Only 20 days have passed since the opening of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. In the past few days, in the Beijing Winter Olympics Media Center, there has been another warm screen-sweeping scene-many foreign journalists are busy with the 2008 Beijing Olympics media backpacks.
The reason why I said to swipe the screen again is because in the 2016 Rio Olympics and the Tokyo Olympics, which were postponed to 2021, there were media backpacks for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. An Iranian reporter once said frankly that the quality and design of this bag are very “friendly”, and they carry it on their backs during competitions.
“We said we would see you again, and we prayed with a wave of hands. The heartbeat full of expectation can always be heard…” The Winter Olympics song “See you in Beijing” released not long ago echoed the popular 2008 “Welcome to Beijing”. It not only evokes people’s warm memories about the Olympics, but also sings the glory and confidence of Beijing as the first “Double Olympic City” in the history of the Olympics.
This glory and confidence comes from the high affirmation of international authorities. On August 24, 2008, at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, the then President of the International Olympic Committee, Mr. Rogge, sighed sincerely, “This is a truly unparalleled Olympic Games.” More than 13 years have passed, China’s economic strength has been greatly enhanced, and its overall national strength has been greatly improved. In the face of the global test of the new crown epidemic, China’s epidemic prevention effectiveness has been outstanding among the major countries in the world. We are fully confident and capable to offer another wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding Olympic Games to the world.
This glory and self-confidence also come from the backpacks that revisit the old places. This is an inadvertent choice made by journalists flying around the world “voting with their shoulders”. It is their high level of trust and love for Chinese elements, including Made in China. In those backpacks, apart from media tools, there must be a lot of good memories.
The Beijing Winter Olympics coincides with the Chinese New Year. Therefore, the media backpacks of the Beijing Winter Olympics will contain special items such as Chinese knots and blessing window grilles. This superimposed beauty will surely be celebrated in a greater time and space.
