February 4, 2022
Despite criticisms and oppositions, not to mention the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the controversial Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics has officially begun.
The opening ceremony kicked off by marking the arrival of spring, followed by the unveiling of the Olympic Rings, signaling the start of the Parade of Nations. After the Parade of Nations, the traditional dove release was commenced in the form of illuminated props carried by children singing the Games' theme song. The opening ceremony ends with the Olympic cauldron, the snowflake, lit by the final torchbearers - each representing a decade of birth since the 1950s - signaling the official start of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
