"Beijing 2022"-July 3rd1day, when these words appeared on the paper held high by IOC President Bach, all China people were filled with emotion. People began to celebrate in various ways that Beijing and Zhangjiakou won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Under the giant screen outside the bird's nest, the gathered crowd took pictures as a souvenir; On the celebration square of Beijing Olympic Park, the climax of large-scale party activities is repeated; On the streets of Zhangjiakou, businessmen hang national flags and citizens even dance to celebrate traditional festivals. ...
Behind the jubilation is actually more and greater expectations of the people. After the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China people's feelings for the Olympic Games are no longer limited to the excitement and pride of "the big event is in my home", but more tangible feedback from "the Olympic Games". Nowadays, the venues of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games have become a good place for people to exercise every day. The speed-up and expansion of public transport have greatly facilitated citizens' travel and made Beijing more attractive as an international city.
So, what will the 2022 Winter Olympics bring?
1. national fitness: drive 300 million people to the ice and snow.
Beijing mentioned in its bid report to the International Olympic Committee that Beijing's successful bid to host the Winter Olympics can drive 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports. Bach especially appreciates this. "Beijing has described for us the prospect of spreading the ice and snow movement to hundreds of millions of people." He said that the China government has noticed the educational and social functions of sports, and the promotion of ice and snow sports through the Winter Olympics is the most appreciated place of the IOC.
"As a Beijinger, if you don't skate and play with snow in winter, how lonely your life will be." Old Beijingers have a long tradition of skating. For young people in the sixties and seventies, skating in Shichahai is a more fashionable "show" than singing K today. In the TV series Days Related to Youth, young girls and boys are wearing school woolen coats, cashmere fur hats and fur collars, competing ice skills and chasing after each other at Shichahai ice rink, which is impressive.
The successful bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics has rekindled China people's enthusiasm for ice and snow, especially in Beijing and Zhang Chang. Liu, who lives in Zhangjiakou, has very direct feelings. "I started to learn skiing in my hometown five years ago. At that time, there were few ski resorts, and most of the skiers were locals. However, in recent years, more and more large-scale new ski resorts have appeared, and vehicles with foreign licenses such as' Beijing' and' Lu' have also increased. "
Chongli, an ice and snow town near the Great Wall, has attracted more and more tourists because of its bid to host the Winter Olympics, setting a new record every year. According to the data provided by Zhangjiakou Olympic bid office, from 20 12 to 20 13, Chongli received skiers 10 16000 in the snow season. From 20 13 to 20 14, it reached 1422400 person-times, with a year-on-year increase of 40%; Since the 20 14-20 15 snow season, Chongli * * has received a total of1670,000 tourists, up 17.4% year-on-year.
Jiang Xiaoyu, vice president of the Beijing Olympic City Development Promotion Association, told this newspaper: "The Winter Olympics is a good opportunity to realize the national strategy of' national fitness' and will strongly promote the development of ice and snow sports in China."
Regarding how to "drive 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports" with the help of the east wind hosting the Winter Olympics, Liu Peng, director of the State Sports General Administration, said that with the help of Beijing's bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, it will be implemented step by step in about seven years through important means such as government promotion, policy promotion, planning and instigation, publicity and agitation. "The primary measure is to vigorously strengthen the construction of skating rinks and snow fields to meet the people's winter exercise needs in quantity."
At present, more than 500 ski resorts have been built in China. The improvement of public participation has also promoted the movement of ice and snow to move southward, and more and more ice and snow fields have taken root in southern cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. For example, in Shanghai, there are 1 1 skating rinks of various sizes and five socialized clubs.
"It can be seen that spreading an active and healthy lifestyle in the Winter Olympics will help strengthen people's physique, let people better understand the core value of sports and build a' healthy China'." Pei Dongguang, director of the Olympic Research Center of the Capital Institute of Physical Education, said in an interview with this newspaper that after the accumulation of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Chinese people have returned more to the "humanistic Olympic concept" and their pursuit of the Olympic Games has become more "people-oriented".
According to Zhu Zhiqiang, vice chairman of China Ski Association, the most important thing to promote ice and snow sports is education. The cultivation of professional talents is the key to improve the level of running and winter sports. His Harbin Institute of Physical Education has set up a specialized course in winter sports at the undergraduate level.
Coincidentally, last year, Zhangjiakou set up two amateur winter sports schools for teenagers, set up six amateur ice and snow teams, and 60 PE teachers trained about 460 amateur team students. The enthusiasm of Beijing teenagers to participate in ice and snow sports is unprecedented. At present, there are nearly 100 ice hockey teams in primary and secondary schools, and more than 2,000 children are playing ice hockey. The Beijing Youth Ice Hockey League held at the end of last year was also very popular.
2. Economic development: Convenient transportation promotes employment.
2015,65438+200510.6, Beijing Olympic bid committee submitted its bid report to the International Olympic Committee, and clearly put forward "three concepts"-athlete-centered, sustainable development and thrifty hosting. Among them, experts who participated in the drafting of the bid report said that the bid report focused more on increasing the sports population and stimulating urban development, which coincided with the impact and change of hosting the Olympic Games on its long-term development advocated by the International Olympic Committee and became a bright spot.
Returning the Olympic Games to the city and the people is one of the concepts of this Winter Olympics. "Hosting the Winter Olympics will strengthen the construction of infrastructure such as the' hydropower hot gas road' in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, promote the formation of road networks in the three places, and enhance interconnection." Jiang Xiaoyu said that the coordinated development strategy of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has become a major national strategy, and traffic integration is expected to become one of the breakthroughs.
At present, the Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway, which has attracted much attention, has started construction and is expected to be completed in 20 19. By then, the travel time between the two cities will be shortened from more than three hours to about 50 minutes. Beijing New International Airport is also expected to be put into use on 20 19. Convenient transportation can not only better serve athletes from all countries to participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics, but also provide an opportunity for Beijing-Zhangjia to build an "one-hour economic circle", promote the complementary advantages of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and narrow the urban development gap.
For Zhangjiakou, the ecological environment is good, but it is also an underdeveloped area in Hebei Province. Now the successful bid for the Winter Olympics will provide a rare opportunity for development. For Beijing, the establishment of an "economic circle around the capital" can transfer some functions and population and let the congested big cities "catch their breath".
Olympic Games has a great impetus to urban development. When the market development plan was implemented in Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, the domestic market development income was $654.38+0.2 billion. In the 2022 Winter Olympics, its huge market scale and growth potential will bring greater development opportunities. "Taking the ice and snow movement as a breakthrough will effectively promote the prosperity of tourism economy in the three places and drive the development of surrounding tourism." Jiang Xiaoyu pointed out that Zhangjiakou, in particular, will usher in an unprecedented "golden development period" of ice and snow manufacturing, venue operation and leisure tourism.
In fact, since Zhang Jing announced the joint bid for the Winter Olympics in 20 13, Zhangjiakou City has ushered in a new upsurge of development and is moving towards the goal of building an eco-industrial new city, a world-class ice and snow sports center and an international leisure tourism destination. Take Chongli, where ice and snow sports are developed, as an example. This county, with a permanent population of only over 30,000 people, combines the Olympic bid with tourism to maximize the advantages of ecological resources. Now there are 23 star-rated hotels, several express hotels and ski shops of various grades. The "Nongjiale" village, which has been ignited by major snow fields, is also expected to benefit from this and become an upgraded version of beautiful countryside.
"Few people knew about Chongli before, but since Beijing and Zhangjiakou jointly bid for the Winter Olympics, Zhangjiakou and Chongli have become more and more famous, and more and more guests have come to ski. During the snow season from 20 14 to 20 15, the number of guests who came to Wanlong for skiing increased by 80%. " Yu, general manager of Chongli Wanlong Ski Resort, said excitedly.
"As the" back garden "of Beijing, Chongli has obvious advantages in tourism resources." Pei Dongguang looked forward to the future of Chongli. "After seven years, Chongli will undergo earth-shaking changes, not only a paradise for skiers, but also an' Oriental Davos'."
The data shows that since last year, Zhangjiakou City has signed more than 220 projects with an amount of more than 20 million US dollars. According to preliminary estimates, the Winter Olympics will bring local investment of 350 billion yuan and increase 200,000 employment opportunities. Analysts pointed out that the Winter Olympics will make ice and snow sports a local characteristic industry and promote the development of tourism, leisure, accommodation, catering and other related industrial chains, so the number of employed people and the market will be equally considerable.
3. Environmental improvement: blue sky and white clouds have become the norm.
In recent years, the emergence and popularity of new words such as "Olympic Blue" and "APEC Blue" show people's eager concern and expectation for Beijing's air quality. "After the Olympic Games, we can continue to maintain the' Olympic Blue' and make it a normal state in life. This is a green and peaceful Olympic Games." Pei Dongguang is also full of expectations for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
"Beijing has always attached great importance to pollution control. Since 1998, more than 200 measures have been taken to control air pollution and the air quality has been continuously improved. " Wang Anshun, mayor of Beijing and chairman of the bid committee for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, said that in 20 13, Beijing implemented a five-year clean air action plan with an investment of13 billion US dollars, and took 84 specific measures to deal with factors affecting air quality, such as automobile emissions and coal-fired emissions, and achieved remarkable results.
More and more people are beginning to witness the improvement of Beijing's urban environment. "When the smog days came in Beijing a few years ago, it was foggy for several days. It has hardly happened in these two years, and it will be clean in two days at most. " Citizen Zhang Yanxun said.
Improving air quality requires the joint efforts of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities around Beijing. Beijing and Zhangjiakou jointly hold the Winter Olympics, which can better complement each other. The insiders believe that Zhangjiakou has unique natural conditions, low latitude, high altitude, suitable temperature and excellent air quality, which are favorable conditions for successfully bidding for the Winter Olympics. The Winter Olympics will form a strong impetus to help Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei control environmental pollution and improve air quality.
"Ecological environmental protection is one of the three first breakthroughs in the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei." Chen Tian, director of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, said that the central government clearly proposed to build a "demonstration zone for ecological restoration and environmental improvement" as one of the orientations for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, indicating that to achieve the livable goal, the current situation needs to be improved urgently, that is, to coordinate the relationship between economic development, resource development and environmental protection, optimize the layout, and strengthen pollution prevention and ecosystem restoration.
At present, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei have signed a cooperation agreement on air pollution prevention and control. This year, Beijing will invest 460 million yuan to support air pollution control in Langfang City and Baoding City of Hebei Province. Tianjin will also invest 400 million yuan to support air pollution control in Tangshan and Cangzhou.
The effects of multi-point joint defense, joint control and sustainable management measures have gradually emerged, and environmental benefits have gradually been released. The data shows that in the first half of this year, the concentration of PM2.5 in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Mongolia and Henan provinces decreased15.4% year-on-year; Among them, the average concentration of PM2.5 in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was 78 μ g/m3, down 22. 1% year-on-year.
"The Chinese government promises to the international community that by 2022, Beijing's PM2.5 index will be reduced by about 45% on the basis of 20 12. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games surpassed the promise of a green Olympics. With the joint efforts of Beijing, Zhang and neighboring cities, we have the confidence and ability to do what we say. " Jiang Xiaoyu said.
Hosting the 2022 Winter Olympics will not be the end of the action. Wang Anshun said that Beijing is studying and formulating the Clean Air Action Plan for 20 18-2022, and will continue to strengthen the prevention and control of air pollution with higher standards, stricter measures and greater efforts. Beijing and neighboring provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities will further establish and improve the linkage mechanism of joint defense, joint control and joint governance.
