Citing "Together for a Shared Future" and the Olympic spirit, they have crafted artworks as gifts for Beijing 2022 including ice painting, snow sculptures, clay carving, paper cuts and dough models:

Ice painting

Elementary school teacher Dou Heng created a 100x60-meter painting of the Beijing Winter Olympics emblem Winter Dream in Baicheng, Northeast China's Jilin Province. It took Dou four days to finish the work from shaping to coloring.

Snow sculpture

Hao Jijiu, retired 75-year-old soldier, sculpted a 10-meter snow plane in Harbin, Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. The sculpture included cockpit, windows, doors, wings and tail. On its main body was "Welcome to Beijing 2022" in Chinese. Hao spent about a month on the project.

Clay carving
