同志们，朋友们：
Comrades and friends,
历经7年艰辛努力，北京冬奥会、冬残奥会胜利举办，举国关注，举世瞩目。中国人民同各国人民一道，克服各种困难挑战，再一次共创了一场载入史册的奥运盛会，再一次共享奥林匹克的荣光。
After seven years of arduous efforts, we have successfully hosted the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, drawing wide attention both at home and from abroad. By overcoming various difficulties, the Chinese people, along with people from around the world, have once again presented the Games that will go down in history and together shared the glory of Olympics.
事实再次证明，中国人民有意愿、有决心为促进奥林匹克运动发展、促进世界人民团结友谊作出贡献，而且有能力、有热情继续作出新的更大的贡献！
Facts have proved again that the Chinese people not only have the willingness and determination to make contributions to advancing the Olympic movement and promoting solidarity and friendship among peoples across the world, but also have the ability and enthusiasm to make even greater contributions.
北京冬奥会、冬残奥会的成功举办，凝结着各条战线人们的辛勤付出和智慧汗水。北京冬奥组委同北京市、河北省、国家体育总局、中国残联紧密合作，广大冬奥建设者、工作者、志愿者牢记党和人民的重托，满怀为国争光的壮志，在各自岗位上真诚奉献、默默耕耘，涌现出一大批作出突出贡献的先进集体和先进个人。
The success in hosting the Games is a result of the efforts and wisdom of people working in different fronts for the preparation and organization of the events. Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games worked closely with Beijing Municipal Government, Hebei Provincial Government, the General Administration of Sport, and the China Disabled Persons’ Federation. All the builders, workers and volunteers, bearing in mind the trust of the Party and the people and driven by the aspirations to win glory for the country, worked tirelessly and dedicatedly in their respective posts, and many outstanding groups and individuals have stood out among them.
今天，我们在这里隆重集会，总结北京冬奥会、冬残奥会的经验，表彰突出贡献集体和突出贡献个人，弘扬北京冬奥会、冬残奥会筹办举办过程中培育的崇高精神，激励全党全国各族人民为实现第二个百年奋斗目标、实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦而努力奋斗！
Today, we gather here to review the experience of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, and honor those who have made exceptional contributions to the Games, with a view to carrying forward the lofty spirit fostered during the preparation and hosting of the Games and inspiring the entire Party and all the Chinese people to strive for the second centenary goal and the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
同志们、朋友们！
Comrades and friends,
中国人历来言必信、行必果。确保北京冬奥会、冬残奥会如期安全顺利举办，确保“两个奥运”同样精彩，是中国人民向国际社会作出的庄严承诺。
We Chinese always mean what we say. It is the solemn promise that the Chinese people have made to the international community to ensure the delivery of safe and splendid Winter Olympics and Paralympics as scheduled.
7年来，在党中央坚强领导下，各有关部门、各省区市团结协作、攻坚克难，北京携手张家口作为主办城市尽锐出战、全力投入，同国际奥委会、国际残奥委会等国际体育组织紧密合作，克服新冠肺炎疫情等各种困难挑战，向世界奉献了一届简约、安全、精彩的奥运盛会，全面兑现了对国际社会的庄严承诺，北京成为全球首个“双奥之城”。
Over the past seven years, under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, relevant departments, as well as provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities cooperated closely to overcome difficulties. Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the two host cities, deployed their best resources, and worked closely with global sports organizations, including the International Olympic Committee and International Paralympic Committee, to surmount challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic and present the world with streamlined, safe and splendid Games. China has honored its solemn promise. Beijing has become the world’s first “dual-Olympic city”.
——冬奥赛事精彩纷呈，国际社会积极评价。四场开闭幕式精彩纷呈，人类命运共同体的主题贯穿始终，中华文化和冰雪元素交相辉映，体现了自然之美、人文之美、运动之美，诠释了新时代中国可信、可爱、可敬的形象。三个赛区一流的场馆设施，严谨专业的赛事组织，温馨周到的服务，赢得参赛各方一致好评。赛事吸引了全球数十亿观众观赛，成为收视率最高的一届冬奥会！
– Splendid Games have drawn positive feedback from the international community.
The opening and closing ceremonies of the Games were captivating, with the theme of building a community with a shared future for mankind running throughout. Integrating the Chinese culture with ice and snow elements, the ceremonies demonstrated the beauty of nature, the beauty of humanity and the beauty of sport, and showcased the image of China as a trustworthy, loveable and admirable country in the new era. The three competition zones have won universal appraisal of participants for their first-rate venues and facilities, meticulous and professional organizational work, and thoughtful services. The Beijing 2022 Winter Games have attracted billions of viewers around the world, making it the most watched Winter Games ever.
——爱国情怀充分彰显，汇聚起实现中华民族伟大复兴的强大力量。北京冬奥会、冬残奥会是中国人民爱国热情的激扬展示。海内外中华儿女热情关注、大力支持这场在中国举办的冬奥盛会，纷纷为冬奥健儿加油喝彩、为伟大祖国加油喝彩。赛场上，我国体育健儿不畏强手、顽强拼搏、为国争光，五星红旗高高飘扬，每一位中华儿女都倍感荣光。一位护旗手说：“我站在奥运会的升旗台，心中满满的自豪感，想到祖国如今的繁荣昌盛是多么来之不易，那是一种说不出的骄傲与热爱，泪水就夺眶而出了……”巧妙蕴含中华文化的冬奥场馆，活泼敦厚的“冰墩墩”，喜庆祥和的“雪容融”，扑面而来的中国年味儿，香喷喷的豆包……，“冬奥梦”和“中国梦”精彩交织。饱含圆融和合等中国理念的开闭幕式，构思独到，匠心独运，二十四节气、黄河之水、中国结、迎客松、折柳寄情、雪花主题歌……，听障演员的圆舞曲、手语版国歌、盲童合唱团的歌声、视障运动员的点火……，这些意蕴隽永的场面在人们心中留下了美轮美奂、直击人心的深刻印象，激发了海内外中华儿女万众一心、接续奋斗的昂扬激情！
– Patriotism was fully manifested, gathering a momentum for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The Chinese people have shown their high-spirited patriotism during the Games. All Chinese both at home and abroad have paid passionate attention to and provided strong support for these grand events. On the field, Chinese athletes have competed with others tenaciously and won glory for the country. Every time the national flag flied high, all the Chinese people felt honored.
A flag-bearer said: “I was full of pride when standing at the flag-raising platform. It reminded me of the hard-won prosperity of the motherland. Filled with a sense of pride and enthusiasm beyond expression, I burst into tears...”
The Chinese culture was reflected in a smart way at venues of the Games. Bing Dwen Dwen has a lively and honest personality. Shuey Rhon Rhon looks festive and auspicious. Atmosphere of the Spring Festival was everywhere. Chinese doubao or steamed red bean buns were delicious. The “Winter Games Dream” met with the “Chinese Dream”.
Chinese ideas such as integration and harmony were fully exhibited at the opening and closing ceremonies in a creative and delicate way. To name only a few: the 24 solar terms, the water of the Yellow River, the Chinese knot, the guest-greeting pines, the willow twigs and the theme song titled The Snowflake...
Audience were deeply impressed by scenes with meaningful implications, such as the waltz performance participated by hearing-impaired performers, the sign-language national anthem, the singing by a choir of vision-impaired children and the cauldron lighting by a vision-impaired athlete. Such scenes also motivated the passion of the Chinese people both at home and abroad to get united and move forward.
——“三亿人参与冰雪运动”成为现实，人民群众获得感显著增强。北京冬奥会、冬残奥会的筹办举办推动了我国冰雪运动跨越式发展，冰雪运动跨过山海关，走进全国各地，开启了中国乃至全球冰雪运动新时代。筹办以来，我们建设了一大批优质的冰雪场地设施，举办了一系列丰富多彩的群众性冰雪赛事活动，人民群众参与热情持续高涨，参与人数达到3.46亿，冰天雪地成为群众致富、乡村振兴的“金山银山”。冬奥筹办举办全面促进了社会事业发展，残疾人人权得到更好保障，广大群众生活更加丰富多彩！
– The goal of involving 300 million people in ice and snow activities has come true, with people’s sense of fulfillment being enhanced.
The preparation and hosting of the Games have pushed forward the leap-frog development of China’s ice and snow sports, which have extended from the Northeast to cover people across the country. A new era of ice and snow sports in China and the world at large has unfolded.
Since the preparation of the Games started, we have built a large amount of high-quality venues and facilities for ice and snow sports, and held a series of ice and snow events participated by the general public. The public passion for these activities continued to rise with 346 million people having participated in winter sports activities. Ice and snow has become valuable assets for people to get rich and for rural revitalization.
The preparation and hosting of the Games have promoted the development of social undertakings across the board, better securing the human rights of the disabled and enriching the lives of the general public.
——冬奥遗产成果丰硕，实现成功办奥和区域发展双丰收。北京冬奥会、冬残奥会筹办举办对国家发展特别是京津冀协同发展具有强有力的牵引作用。我们把冬奥筹办举办作为推动京津冀协同发展的重要抓手，区域交通更加便捷，生态环境明显改善，产业联动更加紧密，公共服务更加均衡。“冰丝带”、“雪飞天”、“雪游龙”、“雪如意”等冬奥场馆精彩亮相，成为造福人民的优质资产！
– The Games have left a fruitful legacy, with the success of the Games promoting regional development.
The preparation and hosting of the Games have strongly boosted national development, particularly the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
We have taken the preparation and hosting of the Games as a leverage to promote the region’s coordinated development.
Now the traffic across the region is more convenient and faster, the environment has been improved significantly, industries are linked more closely and the public services are delivered in a more equitable way.
Venues such as the National Speed Skating Oval, dubbed the “Ice Ribbon”, the Big Air Shougang, dubbed the “Snow Flying Ribbon”, the National Sliding Centre, dubbed the “Flying Snow Dragon” and the National Ski Jumping Centre, dubbed the “Snow Ruyi”, have become high-quality assets that benefit the people.
——疫情防控精准有效，确保了冬奥安全顺利。在全球新冠肺炎疫情大流行背景下，我们把全部参与者的健康放在第一位，坚持“外防输入、内防反弹”，通过严格实施防控措施，有力保障了各方人员健康。赛时期间，闭环内阳性比例仅为0.45%，所有阳性人员都得到了有效治疗和良好照顾，没有发生聚集性、溢出性疫情，城市防控动态清零。中国的防疫政策再次经受住了考验，为全球抗疫和举办国际重大活动提供了有益经验。有的外国运动员表示：“如果疫情应对也有金牌，中国应该得到一枚。”这枚金牌属于全体办奥人员！
– The COVID-19 prevention and control is targeted and effective, ensuring the safe and smooth progress of the Games.
Against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic that rages across the world, we have put first the health of all participants, adhered to the policy of preventing imported cases and domestic resurgences, and strictly implemented the prevention and control measures. The health of people from all parties has been well safeguarded.
During the Games, only 0.45 percent of personnel under closed-loop management were tested positive for COVID-19. All of them have received effective treatment and were well cared for. No cluster of infections or spillover cases occurred and dynamic zero-COVID was maintained in cities.
China’s COVID response policy has once again withstood the test, contributing useful experience for the world to fight against the virus and host major international events.
As some foreign athletes said, if there were a gold medal for responding to the pandemic, then China would deserve it. I would say that this gold medal belongs to all the staff involved in hosting the Games.
——团结合作走向未来，为人类战胜挑战作出了中国贡献。奥林匹克运动承载着人类对和平、团结、进步的美好追求。在世界百年变局加速演进、人类社会遭遇各种挑战的形势下，奥林匹克大家庭成员不远万里来华共襄盛举，团结友好的“朋友圈”、“伙伴群”越扩越大。外国运动员在回国时恋恋不舍地说：“我会在飞机上哭的，我要哽咽了，爱你们。”“我肯定会把生命中最美好的冬奥回忆带回家。”北京冬奥会、冬残奥会的成功举办，促进了不同文明交流互鉴，为推动全球团结合作、共克时艰发挥了重要作用，也为动荡不安的世界带来了信心和希望，向世界发出了“一起向未来”的时代强音！
– Moving forward with solidarity and cooperation, China has contributed its share to the humankind’s efforts in overcoming challenges.
The Olympics bear the humanity’s pursuit of peace, unity and progress. Against the backdrop of rapid global changes unseen in a century and multiple challenges faced by the human society, members of the Olympic family traveled all the way to China and joined the grand events. With solidarity and cordiality, our “circle of friends” and “group of partners” have kept expanding. Foreign athletes were loath to go when they left China. Some of them said: “I’m gonna cry on the plane, I’m gonna sob, love you.” “I will definitely bring home the best Winter Olympics memory in my life.”
The success of the Games has prompted exchanges between cultures, and played a key role in promoting solidarity, cooperation and joint efforts to overcome difficulties globally. It has also brought confidence and hope to a world overshadowed by instability, and sent the world a message of our times – Together for a Shared Future.
同志们、朋友们！

The glory of the Games is built on seven years of arduous endeavors. The Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics were prepared and hosted under great difficulties.

Some said affectionately: “To ensure the success of the Games, we will overcome whatever difficulties that may arise, and all our dedication has been worthwhile.”
The motherland and the people are proud of all their hard work and outstanding achievements.
7年来，我国广大运动员、教练员牢记党和人民嘱托，争分夺秒、刻苦训练，在冬奥赛场上敢打敢拼、超越自我，胜利完成各项比赛任务。中国体育代表团首次全项参赛，勇夺冬奥会9枚金牌、15枚奖牌和冬残奥会18枚金牌、61枚奖牌，创造了我国参加冬奥会、冬残奥会的历史最好成绩！我国广大运动员、教练员以实际行动落实拿道德金牌、风格金牌、干净金牌的要求，诠释了奥林匹克精神和中华体育精神，实现了运动成绩和精神文明双丰收，为党和人民赢得了荣誉！
In the past seven years, our athletes and coaches bore in mind the expectations of the Party and the people, raced against time and trained hard. At the Winter Games, they competed bravely, performed beyond their limits and completed their tasks successfully. For the first time, the Chinese sports delegation has participated in all the disciplines and tallied nine golds and 15 medals at the Winter Olympics, and 18 golds and 61 medals at the Winter Paralympics, achieving our country’s best-ever results at the Winter Games.
With concrete actions, our athletes and coaches also fulfilled the requirements of winning the competition in sports ethics, sportsmanship and integrity. They demonstrated the Olympic spirit and China’s sporting spirit, achieved successes in both sports competition and sports ethics, and got a lot of credit for the Party and the people.
广大冬奥会、冬残奥会的参与者们，用辛勤付出、坚强毅力、巨大勇气，以强烈的责任感、使命感、荣誉感，出色完成了各项工作任务，创造了无愧于祖国、无愧于人民、无愧于时代的光辉业绩！
Driven by a strong sense of responsibility, mission and honor, participants in the Games have accomplished all the tasks outstandingly with their hard work, perseverance and courage. They have made achievements worthy of our motherland, our people and our times.
在这里，我代表党中央、国务院和中央军委，向受到表彰的突出贡献集体和突出贡献个人，表示热烈的祝贺！向为北京冬奥会、冬残奥会筹办举办作出突出贡献的全体建设者、工作者、志愿者，向广大运动员、教练员，向人民解放军指战员、武警部队官兵、公安干警和消防救援队伍指战员，致以崇高的敬意！向热情支持北京冬奥会、冬残奥会的广大香港同胞、澳门同胞、台湾同胞和海外华侨华人，表示衷心的感谢！
On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the awarded groups and individuals. I would like to offer my highest salutations to all the builders, workers and volunteers, to all the athletes and coaches, and to members of the PLA, the PAPF, the public security police and the fire and rescue services. I would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the people of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as the overseas Chinese, who have supported the Games enthusiastically.
在筹办举办过程中，国际奥委会、国际残奥委会以及奥林匹克大家庭、残奥大家庭成员对我们的工作给予了积极帮助，各国政府和人民、国际友好人士给予了大力支持，许多国家领导人、国际组织负责人亲自来华出席有关活动。来自世界各地的体育健儿在赛场上相互尊重、彼此激励、突破极限，在激情的比赛中完美演绎了“更快、更高、更强——更团结”的奥林匹克格言和“勇气、决心、激励、平等”的残奥价值观。北京冬奥会、冬残奥会是一场和平友谊的盛会、一场团结合作的盛会、一场鼓舞世界的盛会！
During the preparations, the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and members of the Olympic and Paralympic families helped a lot with our work. Governments and people of many countries and international friends provided us with great support. Leaders of many countries and international organizations arrived in China to attend relevant events in person. Athletes from all over the world respected and encouraged each other during the competitions and exceeded the limit of their endurance. They perfectly substantiated the Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together” and the Paralympic values “Courage, Determination, Inspiration and Equality.” The Games are grand events that feature peace, friendship, unity and cooperation and inspire the world.

I would like to pay high tribute to athletes from all participating countries and regions who courageously strived for the best during the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics.
同志们、朋友们！
Comrades and friends,
成就源于奋斗，胜利来之不易。回顾7年来不平凡的筹办举办历程，我们不仅在奋斗中收获了成功的喜悦，也在奋斗中收获了丰厚的精神财富，收获了弥足珍贵的经验，值得我们倍加珍惜、发扬光大。
Achievements are from hard work and victory does not come easily. Reviewing the seven-year extraordinary process of preparation and hosting of the Games, we have harvested not only the joy of success, but also abundant intellectual wealth and valuable experience, which are worthy cherishing and carrying forward.
第一，坚持党的集中统一领导。党中央高度重视北京冬奥会、冬残奥会，成立冬奥会工作领导小组，从国家层面统筹力量、协调推进筹办工作。筹办之初，党中央就明确提出绿色、共享、开放、廉洁的办奥理念。面对严峻复杂的全球疫情，在全面分析国内外形势特别是疫情影响基础上，作出“顺利举办即成功”的科学判断，提出“简约、安全、精彩”的办赛要求。广大党员、干部牢记初心使命，以行动践行了“急难险重任务，我在第一线”的誓言。事实充分证明，中国共产党是我们成就伟业最可靠的主心骨，只要始终不渝坚持党的领导，就一定能够战胜前进道路上的任何艰难险阻，就一定能够办成我们想办的任何事情！
First, we have upheld the Party’s centralized, unified leadership. Attaching great importance to the Games, the CPC Central Committee established a leading group to coordinate all forces at the national level and push forward the preparation work. At the beginning of the preparations, the CPC Central Committee made it clear that the Games would be green, inclusive, open and clean. Facing the grave and complex global COVID-19 pandemic, based on the comprehensive analysis of situations both in and outside China, particularly the impact of the pandemic, the CPC Central Committee put forward the judicious judgment that “the success means to run the Games smoothly,” and stated that the Games should be streamlined, safe and splendid. Staying true to the Party’s founding mission, many Party members and officials fulfilled their commitment to carrying out urgent, difficult, dangerous and arduous tasks in the frontline with concrete actions. All the facts have proved that the CPC is the most reliable backbone for us to ensure great achievements. As long as we unswervingly uphold the Party’s leadership, we will definitely overcome all difficulties and obstacles that we meet and ensure every success in our future work.
第二，坚持集中力量办大事。冬奥筹办是一项复杂的系统工程。在党中央坚强领导下，冬奥会工作领导小组和18个专项工作议事协调机构搭建起冬奥筹办的四梁八柱，北京冬奥组委、北京市、河北省与中央部门、各省区市、人民解放军和武警部队、企业、高校院所等方面紧密合作、全力攻坚，社会各界和人民群众热情参与，共同完成了各阶段筹办任务。在赛时阶段，战略指挥、运行指挥、场馆运行的三级工作体系把各方力量统筹起来，凝聚起强大工作合力。我国社会主义制度非凡的组织动员能力、统筹协调能力、贯彻执行能力，我国坚实的经济实力、科技实力、综合国力，为成功办奥提供了强有力的底气和最坚实的保障！
Second, we have pooled all resources to accomplish major tasks. The preparation for the Games is complicated and systematic. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the leading group for the Games and 18 other special agencies jointly put up the pillars to support the preparation work. The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games and the governments of Beijing Municipality and Hebei Province cooperated closely with all sides including central departments, authorities of all relevant provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, the PLA, the PAPF, enterprises and higher learning institutions to overcome difficulties. People from all walks of life also participated in the preparations enthusiastically.
All those factors helped complete the preparation work at all stages. When the Games were being held, a three-level working mechanism featuring strategic command, command of operation and venue operation coordinated all forces to form synergy for hosting the Games. The socialism in China with extraordinary capabilities of organization, coordination and implementation, as well as our country’s solid economic and technological strength and composite national strength gave us tremendous confidence and laid a solid foundation for the success of the Games.
第三，坚持主动防范应对各种风险挑战。在世界百年未有之大变局叠加新冠肺炎世纪疫情背景下举办冬奥会、冬残奥会，面临的风险挑战前所未有。我们坚持底线思维、问题导向，增强忧患意识，把防范化解风险挑战摆在突出位置，把困难估计得更充分一些，把风险思考得更深入一些，下好先手棋，打好主动仗。我们全方位梳理排查各领域、各环节风险点，建立常态化工作机制，不断发现问题，及时研究解决，积极妥善应对，确保了赛事安全顺利举办。
Third, we proactively prevented and addressed risks and challenges. When the world was witnessing combined impacts of profound changes unseen in a century and the COVID-19 pandemic, hosting the Winter Olympics and Paralympics faced unprecedented risks and challenges. We kept in mind the worst scenarios, adhered to a problem-oriented approach, stayed alert against potential dangers, and gave high priority to preempting and defusing risks and challenges. Having fully assessed difficulties and risks, we took the initiative to adopt a proactive strategy.
We sorted out risks in all fields in an all-round way, and established a regular working mechanism. We constantly identified problems, studied and solved them in time, and responded to them actively and properly, thus ensuring the safe and smooth running of the Games.
第四，坚持办赛和服务人民、促进发展相结合。北京冬奥会、冬残奥会的成功不仅在于赛事的成功，更在于通过筹办举办冬奥会、冬残奥会带动了各方面建设，为经济社会发展带来了深远的积极影响。我们坚持冬奥成果人民共享，通过推广普及冰雪运动带动全民健身走向纵深，通过产业发展助力脱贫攻坚，通过提升公共服务水平改善人民生活品质，让人民身心更健康、就业更充分、生活更美好，实现共同参与、共同尽力、共同享有。一位北京市民说：“我们都是普普通通的老百姓，让普通老百姓展示，是显示中国人站起来了，中国向世界展示中国强大了。”
Fourth, we combined hosting the Games with serving the people and promoting development. The success of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics is not only the success of sports. The preparation and hosting of the Games have also stimulated development in various areas and brought about far-reaching positive impact on economic growth and social progress.
We have been committed to the principle that the people share the fruits of the Games. We have strengthened national fitness campaigns through the promotion and popularization of ice and snow sports, helped to lift people out of poverty through development of industries, and improved people’s lives by providing better public services. The people now enjoy better physical and mental health, better employment and better life, which points to the fact that common participation and joint efforts have resulted in shared development.
A Beijing citizen participating in the performance in the closing ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics said: “We are all ordinary people. Our participation in such a performance shows that the Chinese people have stood up, and that China has become strong.”
同志们、朋友们！
Comrades and friends,
伟大的事业孕育伟大的精神，伟大的精神推进伟大的事业。北京冬奥会、冬残奥会广大参与者珍惜伟大时代赋予的机遇，在冬奥申办、筹办、举办的过程中，共同创造了胸怀大局、自信开放、迎难而上、追求卓越、共创未来的北京冬奥精神。
A great cause nurtures a great spirit, and a great spirit promotes a great cause. The participants in the Games cherished the opportunity presented by the great era, and in the process of bidding, organizing and hosting the Games, they have created the spirit of bearing in mind the big picture, being confident and open, rising to the challenges, pursuing excellence, and creating a better future together.
——胸怀大局，就是心系祖国、志存高远，把筹办举办北京冬奥会、冬残奥会作为“国之大者”，以为国争光为己任，以为国建功为光荣，勇于承担使命责任，为了祖国和人民团结一心、奋力拼搏。
Bearing in mind the big picture means to have the motherland in mind and aim high. They regarded the preparation and hosting of the Games as one of the country’s most fundamental interests. They saw it as the duty to win glory for the country and as the honor to make contributions to the country. They had the courage to shoulder responsibilities, united and fought hard for the motherland and the people.
——自信开放，就是雍容大度、开放包容，坚持中国特色社会主义道路自信、理论自信、制度自信、文化自信，以创造性转化、创新性发展传递深厚文化底蕴，以大道至简彰显悠久文明理念，以热情好客展现中国人民的真诚友善，以文明交流促进世界各国人民相互理解和友谊。
Being confident and open means to be inclusive. They remained confident in the path, theory, system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. They passed on the country’s profound cultural heritage by innovative transformation and development. They substantiated the country’s time-honored civilization through simple manners and in simple words. They showed the sincerity and friendliness of the Chinese people with hospitality. They promoted mutual understanding and friendship among different peoples through exchanges.
——迎难而上，就是苦干实干、坚韧不拔，保持知重负重、直面挑战的昂扬斗志，百折不挠克服困难、战胜风险，为了胜利勇往直前。
Rising to the challenges means to work hard with perseverance. They kept the high morale while knowing the burdens ahead heavy but still facing challenges, overcame difficulties and risks, and forged ahead.
——追求卓越，就是执着专注、一丝不苟，坚持最高标准、最严要求，精心规划设计，精心雕琢打磨，精心磨合演练，不断突破和创造奇迹。
Pursuing excellence means perseverance, dedication and meticulousness. They stuck to the highest possible standards and requirements, refined every plan and measure, sought perfection through rehearsals, and achieved breakthroughs and miracles one after another.
——共创未来，就是协同联动、紧密携手，坚持“一起向未来”和“更团结”相互呼应，面朝中国发展未来，面向人类发展未来，向世界发出携手构建人类命运共同体的热情呼唤。
Creating a better future together means coordination, interaction and cooperation. Aligning the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic motto “Together for a Shared Future” with the new Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger - Together”, they kept themselves future-oriented with a global vision, and called on all members on Earth to jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind.
同志们、朋友们！
Comrades and friends,
7年磨一剑，砥砺再出发。北京冬奥会、冬残奥会是在全党全国各族人民向第二个百年奋斗目标迈进的关键时期举办的重大标志性活动。我们要积极谋划、接续奋斗，管理好、运用好北京冬奥遗产。
It took us seven years to ensure a success in hosting the Games, and now we have prepared ourselves well for the next stage. The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics are an important landmark event China held at a crucial moment as the whole Party and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups started the new journey toward the second centenary goal of building a modern socialist country in all respects. We should make plans proactively and work hard persistently to make the most of the legacy of the Games.
北京冬奥会、冬残奥会既有场馆设施等物质遗产，也有文化和人才遗产，这些都是宝贵财富，要充分运用好，让其成为推动发展的新动能，实现冬奥遗产利用效益最大化。要继续推动冰雪运动普及发展，强化战略规划布局，建设利用好冰雪场地设施，发展冰雪产业，丰富群众冰雪赛事活动，把群众冰雪运动热情保持下去。要充分挖掘利用北京冬奥文化资源，坚定文化自信，更加自信从容传播中国声音、讲好中国故事。要弘扬人道主义精神，尊重和保障人权，完善残疾人社会保障制度和关爱服务体系，促进残疾人事业全面发展，支持和鼓励残疾人自强不息，正像一位视障运动员在赛场上所说：“我看不清世界，但我想让世界看到我。”要在全社会广泛弘扬奉献、友爱、互助、进步的志愿精神，更好发挥志愿服务的积极作用，促进社会文明进步。要弘扬奥林匹克精神，发挥奥林匹克促进人类和平发展的重要作用，为人类文明进步贡献更多中国智慧和中国力量。
The Games have left us not only venues and facilities, but also cultural heritage and human resources, all of which are valuable assets we must make full use of and make them new drivers for development. This legacy must be used to the utmost.
We will continue to make ice and snow sports more popular by strengthening strategic planning while building and making better use of sports venues and facilities. We will develop the winter economy and hold a wide range of ice and snow sports events to help maintain the general public’s enthusiasm for these sports.
We will fully tap cultural resources from the Games to bolster confidence in our own culture and make China’s voice heard globally and tell China’s stories well.
We will carry forward the spirit of humanitarianism, respect and safeguard human rights, and improve social security systems and the system for supporting and caring for people with disabilities. We will promote all-round development of programs for people with disabilities, and encourage and support them in seeking self-reliance. Just as a vision-impaired athlete said at the Games: “I cannot see the world, but I want the world to see me.”
We will promote throughout society the spirit of volunteers featuring contribution, friendship, mutual support and progress and allow full play to the active role of volunteers, to facilitate social progress.
We will carry forward the Olympic spirit, ensure the Olympic Games play an important role in promoting peace and development, and offer more Chinese wisdom and Chinese strength to the progress of human civilization.
成功筹办举办北京冬奥会、冬残奥会，极大激发了亿万人民的体育热情，极大推动了我国体育事业发展。我们要坚持以增强人民体质、提高全民族身体素质和生活质量为目标，高度重视并充分发挥体育在促进人的全面发展中的重要作用，继续推进体育改革创新，加强体育科技研发，完善全民健身体系，增强广大人民群众特别是青少年体育健身意识，增强我国竞技体育的综合实力和国际竞争力，加快建设体育强国步伐。
Our success in hosting the Games has greatly inspired hundreds of millions of people’s enthusiasm for sports and energized China’s sports development. We must aim at building up people’s physique, improving their physical health and raising their living standards, and fully leverage the important role of sports in advancing people’s well-rounded development. We will continue to promote reform and innovation in sports and enhance development and research in sports science and technology. We will improve the public fitness programs and raise awareness of sports and fitness among our people, the young people in particular. We will promote the country’s overall strength and competitiveness in international competitive sports, and step up efforts to build China into a country strong on sports.
同志们、朋友们！
Comrades and friends,
圆梦冬奥会，一起向未来。让我们更加紧密地团结在党中央周围，发扬北京冬奥精神，以更加坚定的自信、更加坚决的勇气，向着实现第二个百年奋斗目标奋勇前进，向着实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦奋勇前进！
We have realized our dream of hosting Winter Olympics and Paralympics and moved on together for a brighter future. Let us more closely rally around the CPC Central Committee, carry forward the spirit of the Games, and forge ahead more confidently and more determinedly toward the second centenary goal and toward the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
