2025-05-01 source:CCTV.com

On February 12, the Harbin Asian Winter Conference entered its fifth competition day after the opening ceremony. On this day, Liu Mengting, the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation, won the gold medal in the women's ski jumping stage for the freestyle skiing. She participated in the Asian Winter Games for the first time and won two gold medals in two days. In the figure skating event, the Chinese team won the silver medal in figure skating ice dance. Outside the stadium, how can Harbin, as the venue of the Asian Winter Games, let more ordinary people participate in ice and snow sports? In addition, what are the unique musical charms of Harbin, known as the "City of Music",?

From the figure skating event, how far is it to the Milan Winter Olympics gold medal?

Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating double skating champion Han Cong: I think we are still accumulating experience in international competitions because we have many young athletes. The next Olympic figure skating sprint competition will be held in China, which is also the last opportunity they can seize. To participate in the Milan Winter Olympics, you must get a quota for a double skating to have the chance to go. For us, the road to the Long March is a little longer.

How do you feel as a pure Harbin native and a flag bearer in the Asian Winter Games?

Han Cong: First of all, as a hometown person, as the flag bearer, this time is particularly glorious, which is different from my experience as an athlete. When I was an athlete, I was more focused on the spotlight and could feel the sense of mission brought to me by the stadium. However, as a flag bearer, I felt that it was solemn and sacred. What I showed was not my personal appearance, but the entire Harbin and the image of the country. So at that time I had this sense of mission and honor, and I was very nervous when I left.

What does music mean to the city of Harbin?

Miao Di, Director of Harbin Music Museum: The city of Harbin is composed of two cultures: East and West. In the past, people living here were northern Chinese nations, who were good at singing and dancing, so the atmosphere of traditional music was particularly strong. After Western culture entered this city, they took root and sprouted here and merged with our national culture, which shows that Chinese civilization is extremely inclusive. As a city, music has become a part of life in this city. The lives of ordinary people are also full of expressions of this artistic form. In summer, there are musical instruments and singing everywhere. Since the founding of New China, Harbin has a very strong mass music culture atmosphere, and there are many historical and important figures, events and footprints of music culture on Central Street.

This year is Liu Mengting's first Asian Winter Conference and also served as the flag bearer. What does this mean to her?

Chinese freestyle ski slope obstacle skills and big jump team member Liu Mengting: Being a flag bearer is a responsibility, and I also want to show everyone the charm of ice and snow, and I feel that I have done it. In fact, there will be pressure, but it is more about the pressure brought to you by the game. You still feel that you can just play steadily and do your best step by step.

How do you view the new generation who is making their mark at the Asian Winter Games like Liu Mengting?

Bai Yansong: I think there are two angles, because first of all, from the perspective of "snow", we were weak in the past, so-called "strong ice and weak snow". This requires overtaking on the curve and a new generation needs to grow forward. For example, Liu Mengting practiced gymnastics before she was 10 years old, but later crossed the border and entered such a field and achieved great results. I hope that in the future, this group of young people will step by step and reach a higher level.

Another angle is that the male and female flag bearers of this Asian Winter Games are so amazing. They won 5 gold medals in total - Ning Zhongyan took away three, and Liu Mengting took away two. During the last Asian Winter Games, the flag bearer Wu Dajing also won the gold medal. I think we may have some expectations for the flag bearer in the future, that is, the flag bearer first performed well in the past. In addition, the flag bearer's identity has made him more confident and may perform better in the next competition. I think it is quite convincing to win five gold medals in the Asian Winter Conference this time.

There is also a group of ice and snow masters active outside the stadium in Erbin.

Skating is a memory engraved in the bones of Harbin people. Dingliu Park in Harbin started to have a small ice rink about ten years ago. Now, after turning into a larger public welfare ice rink, many skating enthusiasts have come here to skate and exercise. Although it was snowy this day, it still failed to stop everyone from enjoying ice skating here.
