Do you know the two lovely mascots (吉祥物)? You may know the five "Fuwa" dolls from the2008 Beijing Olympic Games. On September 17th, 2019, the two lovely mascots first appeared. Now, let's see who they are.
Look at the panda! It looks like an astronaut in the space. It wears a helmet made of white ice. White is the color of ice and snow, which means purity and strength. It looks fat, so we call it "Bing Dwen Dwen". "Bing" means ice in Chinese, while the "Dwen Dwen". here means stocky and cute. " Bing Dwen Dwen" likes ice sports very much and is good at them. Bing Dwen Dwen waves its left hands to say hello. There are two red hearts in the hand, showing its kindness and love.
Do you think the other red mascot looks like a lantern? The lantern's name is "Shuey Rhon Rhon". "Shuey" is the Chinese word for "snow" and "Rhon Rhon" has the meaning of tolerance(包容)and integration (融合). When the Chinese New Year comes, people always make or buy red lanterns. Red is the color of hope and good luck, so people think their dreams will come true in the new year. "Shuey Rhon Rhon" can give players hope and help them do well in the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games(残奥会).
Many people in different countries like the two mascots very much, and they show their love for them on the Internet.
