Chongqing- A city that rarely snows — Chongqing embraces the 2022 Winter Olympics in a special way. Mr. Liu Hongxun, a northeastern native and an ice hockey veteran, came to the mountain city in 2013 to pursue his career. Since then, the establishment of the Chongqing Prince Ice Hockey Team has given many kids the opportunity to enjoy themselves on the ice. Chongqing is taking the lead in realizing the nation’s goal of engaging 300 million people in winter sports.
