Hi, I am Bing Dwen Dwen, the official mascot (吉祥物) of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games. Wondering what my name means? Well, "Bing" means ice in Chinese, while the "Dwen Dwen" means stocky (健壮结实的) and cute.
Do you like my suit of ice? It's a symbol of purity and strength, and the characteristics of the Winter Olympics. People say that I am a lively panda, symbolizing (象征着) the strong body, tough will and inspiring spirit of the Winter Olympics athletes. I'm ready to share the true spirit of the Olympics with all of you!
And meet my best friend Shuey Rhon Rhon. He's a baby Chinese lantern, which is a
millennia-old cultural symbol associated with harvest, celebration, prosperity (繁荣) and brightness. The first character of its name "Shuey" has the same pronunciation as the Chinese character for snow.
And the first "Rhon" means "to include", "to tolerate", while the second "Rhon" means "to melt", "to fuse" and "to warm". The name expresses the good wishes that there could be more inclusion for people with impairments (损伤), more dialogue and understanding between cultures of the world.
Here are our Olympic and Paralympic logos. They are stylized versions of the Chinese character
"冬", which is "winter", and the Chinese character "飞", which means "fly". Quite an excellent design, isn't it? We hope you like us, and we are here waiting for you at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing!
