1. BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE WINTER OLYMPICS CLOSING CEREMONY

冬奥会闭幕式幕后

The theme of the Beijing Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony "Together for a Shared Future" was in line with the Olympic motto: "Faster, Higher, Stronger, Together". Zhang Yue looks at how the ceremony unfolded.

北京冬奥会闭幕式的主题是“一起向未来“，与“更快，更高，更强，更团结”的奥林匹克精神完美契合。下面，由记者张乐为您带来有关闭幕式的报道。

A traditional Chinese knot appeared over the stadium before athletes gathered one final time in Beijing. Using augmented reality, the red knot was rendered digitally in the sky. As the athletes finished entering the stadium, 12 giant ice skates carrying dancing children.

在全世界运动员最后欢聚在一起的北京冬奥闭幕式上，一个巨大的红色“中国结”在空中出现。利用现实增强AR技术，红结在天空中以数字方式呈现。随着运动员逐渐结束进场，鸟巢中出现了十二只巨大冰鞋,载着孩子们飞舞滑行。

A Chinese knot symbolizes many good wishes including peace, health and prosperity. This is why we used the knot to connect China with the world, as we wish to represent the Olympic spirit of ‘Together’.中国结，它有很多美好的祝福在里面。平安、吉祥、安康等等这些祝福，那么我们用它一个最重要的一个点就是联结。通过这个中国结把大家连在一起，更加能够体现这种人类命运共同体这个理念。

The director said 55 Chinese knot sketches were made before the final version was selected.导演说，在最终版本被选定之前，共制作了55个中国结草图。

At the beginning, we designed the knots in the shape of ancient enamelware Cloisonne, and blue and white porcelain, as well as rime. As the main torch is 16 meters high, we wanted the knot to cover most of it, but leave some extra space for the torch as well.最开始有景泰蓝、青花瓷，然后还有一些丝绸、丝带、红丝带，然后还有雪凇、雾凇。主火炬它有16米高，我们要既让中国结包裹到它，然后中间还要给主火炬留到足够的空间。

Performers danced to the song "Moment of Remembrance, The Message of a Willow Twig" as LED lights showed a willow tree.

随着LED灯的亮起，巨型柳树缓缓出现。365位普通人手捧柳枝、跟着配乐歌曲《送别》起舞，演绎中国人传承千年的“折柳寄情”。

The core values and cultural spirit of Chinese people are about looking forward to the future. This is the reason we used green to represent hope and the theme of ’Together for a Shared Future’.中国人的这种生命观、价值观，和他的这种精神文化底蕴，我们可能不是哀伤的，我们常常是在纪念的同时展望未来。我们更多的是一种深沉的纪念，所以用绿来展现希望的重新升起、一切都要向前看，就像我们的主题"一起向未来"一样。

The theme song "Together for a Shared Future" was played as the torch was blown out.

当圣火一熄灭之后，主题曲《一起向未来》再次想起、升华了整场闭幕式。

2. RENOVATION PROJECT BEGINS AT CENTURY-OLD NEIGHBORHOOD

97岁永安里启动最大规模修缮

The 97-year-old neighborhood Yong’anli永安里 with 155 three-story shikumen houses is now being renovated. Residents will be able to live in their homes while the work is done. The project is expected to be finished by the end of the year. Zhang Yue tells us the details.上海市优秀历史建筑——始建于1925年的永安里，和它里面的155幢砖木结构三层房屋（石库门），在虎年伊始迎来了其长达97年的历史中最大规模的一次修缮工程。工程预计年底前完工，届时居民将可以回到自己家中，永安里也将再现著名广式里弄的风采。更多内容，请听张乐带来的报道。

Scaffolds can be seen in Yong’anli on North Sichuan Road in Hongkou District. Many of the homes are damaged due to age. Both the exteriors and interiors of the homes will be renovated, as will the neighborhood’s main public spaces.

今天，在虹口区四川北路的永安里弄堂内，已经搭起了脚手架，施工人员准备开始修缮外墙。多数房子都因为年岁的洗礼而变得破旧不堪。此次修缮工程除了对建筑外立面、屋面及结构进行检修改造外，还将重点改善公共部位以及厨卫空间。

Both British and Spanish architectural styles can be found. 44 Yonganli is the former home of Zhou Enlai, China’s first premier, and his wife Deng Yingchao. 135 Yonganli was the former site of the Liaison Office of the CPC Central Committee, a protected historical building where revolutionists Zhou Enlai, Luo Dengxian, and Li Weihan held meetings in the 1920s. A Hongkou District official said the goal is to restore the buildings to their original appearance and retain the neighborhood’s ambiance.
