On the evening of February 20, the closing ceremony of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games was held at the National Stadium as scheduled. Chinese President Xi Jinping and International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach attended the closing ceremony.The closing ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games takes "The story of a snowflake" as the clue to tell the theme of "One world, 0ne family", which reflects the concept of "Faster, Higher, Stronger --Together" of the Olympic Games.The global situation of COVID-19 still being ravaged, the organizers of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games implemented strict closed loop management and other epidemic prevention measures, which provided warm reception for athletes all over the world and set up a stage for athletes to show themselves. During the Winter Olympics，athletes from different countries spoke highly of the venue facilities，Winter Olympic Village and closed loop management. IEC organized more than 20 representatives of Chinese and foreign teachers and students to watch the live broadcast of the closing ceremony.

Watching the stunning closing ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Olympics brought me feelings of excitement. Excitement because it proves that in spite of the strictest coronavirus restrictions,?large scale activities like this can be done. The themes of sportsmanship and camaraderie were shown by the athletes. I specially liked the part where excited athletes appearing no less excited than they did during the opening ceremony paraded one last time proudly waving their nation's flags... The scene reminded me of the flags displayed by IEC at Building 12. Congratulations to the organizers of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics for a job well done!

最令我动情的一幕是闭幕式的折柳寄情，现场的留学生们都惊呼画面太美了，在中国古代，亲朋好友一旦分离，送行者往往会折一条柳枝送给远行者，折柳也成为了独具东方文化韵味的送别方式，期待所有的运动员、教练员，所有的来到北京的朋友们，带上这一条柳枝，带走中国人民的友情。点亮的花灯、连接世界的中国结、十二生肖冰鞋......感谢本次冬奥会让留学生们感受到了绝美的中国式浪漫，体会到了中国传统文化的温柔底蕴，你可以永远相信中国！

晚上和老师同学一起看冬奥会闭幕式，得知2026年冬奥会将在意大利米兰举办的消息后，我非常非常激动，北京冬奥会闭幕式意大利的节目表演“双人之舞”，融入了很多高科技的元素，也承载了米兰和科尔蒂纳的双城之魂，米兰－世界时尚艺术中心，科尔蒂纳－欧洲冰雪运动爱好者的旅游胜地，希望那个时候疫情结束，全世界都恢复正常的生活，这样就有机会回去看比赛了。希望2026年意大利冬奥会能给世界带来更多不同的惊喜，欢迎大家来米兰！Benvenuti a Milano! Benvenuti in Italia!

Watching the ending ceremony of the Beijing Olympic games and celebrating the achievements of each country had a special taste in IEC. Gathering students along with teachers to enjoy those moments and discuss interesting details that caught each and everyone’s eyes was a big pleasure. We were all impressed by how China celebrated the success of other champions from other countries reflecting the world union and the strength of its bonds all over the planet. The colors of different flags and the teams from different places with their anthems added a magnificent look to the stadium in Beijing and reflected how much respect China has for the participants as the organizing country. I was very entertained by the atmosphere of laughter and joy as well as sharing delicious snacks with the other schoolmates  i haven’t seen during the holiday. This initiative was a good opportunity to meet up again and have fun.

时间过得好快，感觉开幕式就在昨天。四面八方的红丝带入场汇聚成了象征吉祥团结的中国结，这是温暖的中国红，也象征着团结，美美与共，天下大同的国际大家庭需要所有人的共同建设。我爱我的祖国，我为中国而骄傲!感谢伟大的祖国，感谢中国运动健儿，感谢冬奥志愿者们!
