On the evening of October 26, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics 100-day countdown performance was broadcast on CCTV Channel 1, 3, 5 and 16. At the theme event, well-known singers Zhou Shen (Charlie Zhou) and Zhou Bichang (BiBi Zhou) sang the song “Snow Olympics” together with Li Bingjie, Olympic swimming champion and Yang Haoran, Olympic shooting champion.

Starting with “Snowflakes fly over the Great Wall, and the land is covered by snow,” this song well depicts the beautiful scenery of the northern China in winter, enjoying the tenderness and the passion of ice and snow. The song is divided into two duets, with voices of men and women blending beautifully, showcasing the fighting spirit of the Winter Olympics athletes.

Composed by Hu Shuai, teacher at the School of Arts & Communication, BNU, “Snow Olympics” is one of the outstanding musical works of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympic Games. The song stood out among 1,137 entries and was launched online on July 13th. In the music image design of the song, apart from the melodic theme of Chinese style and the rhythm inspired by winter sports, Hu especially arranged the song with elements of Guzheng (Chinese zither). The composition aimed to give full play to the language of Chinese national music against the world music context, and show the full beauty of the great harmony.

The 24th Winter Olympics will open on February 4, 2022, with the theme slogan “Together for a Shared Future.” The games will be held in Beijing and Zhangjiakou regions. Volunteers from Beijing Normal University have completed the “Experience Beijing” Speed Skating China Open and other Winter Olympics test activities, and will contribute to the Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games in 2022.
