With the arrival of the new ice and snow season, Harbin, which was popular last year, once again became the "top stream" with the east wind that will host the 9th Asian Winter Games; in Horgos, Xinjiang, the fierce snow horse racing, sheep picking and other activities show the young men's "force and skill"; in Luohe, Henan, children are sitting on snow banana boats and laughing in a slander; in Xiamen, Fujian, tourists play snowball fights and ice slides in artificial ice and snow spaces below zero degrees Celsius... Unlike last year, southern tourists "bravely entered the Great Northeast, the rich and diverse ice and snow events are blooming in many places across the country, and sports scenes of enjoying the fun of ice and snow are staged from all over the country.

On February 24, 2017, Xi Jinping interacted with the ice hockey players at Wukesong Sports Center. In February 2017, when inspecting the preparations for the Winter Olympics at Wukesong Sports Center in Beijing, General Secretary Xi Jinping recalled his experience of skating in Shichahai when he was young. When he was young, he and his younger brother liked to skate, but the money he had was only enough to buy a pair of ice skates, so Xi Jinping gave the opportunity to buy ice skates to his younger brother. "You are in great conditions now. Not only do you have a good learning environment, but you also have such good training conditions. It not only enhances your physical fitness, but also cultivates a brave and cooperative spirit." Compared with the past and present, the General Secretary was very moved and encouraged the children to "rely hold hope for you in China's ice and snow sports."

Crossing Shanhaiguan, crossing the Qinling and Huaihe River, marking that Beijing and Zhangjiakou successfully won the hosting rights of the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, my country's ice and snow sports ushered in "explosive" leapfrog development. As the strategy of "expanding south, west and eastward" is constantly advancing, more and more people fall in love with this sport that can bloom passion in the snow and ice. "300 million people participating in ice and snow sports" has changed from a vision to a reality, and is rewriting the ice and snow map of our country - Sichuan has held the "National Fitness Ice and Snow Season" for many years, and the number of participants has increased year by year; at the turn of summer and autumn in 2024, Wuhan Indoor Ice and Snow Center and Ice and Snow Theme Cultural City "off-season" welcome guests; Ice and Snow World, which has the world's largest indoor ski resort, opened in Shanghai in September; the ice and snow world under construction in Qianhai, Shenzhen will not only become a new landmark for local cultural and tourism, but will also become the first international competition-level ice and snow venue in the Greater Bay Area...

November, the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Ice and Snow Economy in the Northeast Region" and other documents were officially issued, and it was clearly proposed to take ice and snow sports as the guide to drive the development of the entire industrial chain of my country's ice and snow culture, ice and snow equipment, and ice and snow tourism, guide ice and snow tourism destinations from single-season opening to four-season operation, and promote the ice and snow economy to become a new growth point. We can look forward to the fact that with the upcoming 9th Asian Winter Games, my country's ice and snow sports and ice and snow industry will usher in another "ice and snow spring". We must seize the opportunity, maintain the enthusiasm of the masses to ice and snow sports, promote the extensive and in-depth development of national fitness, coordinate the development of the ice and snow economy and the construction of a sports power, and better meet the people's needs and expectations for a higher quality of life.
