Bing Dwen Dwen, the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games' official mascot, and Shuey Rhon Rhon, mascot of the Paralympic Winter Games, are topping trends on China's Internet platforms, and the fervor for the mascots epitomizes Chinese people's increasing enthusiasm towards winter sports. This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.
Li Xue is an inheritor of paper pleating and paper folding art in Shenyang. She ingeniously makes the mascots with paper after a series of procedures including selecting materials, cutting, pleating, shaping and assembling. Li hopes her paper-pleating artwork can present the beauty of China's intangible cultural heritage and the charm of the Winter Olympics, as well as help to spread of Olympic Winter Games.
