Serendipity of Civilizations

In 776 B.C., the ancient Greeks held the first ancient Olympic Games. In 104 B.C., China formalized the Taichu Calendar, setting the Spring Festival as the beginning of every year. In the early spring of 2022, when China celebrates the 2,126th Spring Festival, the 24th modern Winter Olympic Games will open in Beijing, the first city ever to host both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. The event presents a great opportunity for Eastern and Western civilizations to mutually understand, exchange, and improve hand in hand with each other.
