Tell the story of China with sculpture with Olympic dream in mind.

　　CCTV News:Carry forward the Olympic spirit with sculpture art, tell the story of China well and enhance the friendship among countries. Let’s meet a sculptor who has been doing Olympic art design for more than 20 years. She is the first Huang Jian in the world to be awarded the title of "Olympic Art Ambassador" by the International Olympic Committee.

　　During the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games in Beijing, a 3.6-meter-high statue of the Olympic Goddess, wearing an olive branch crown and holding high the Olympic rings, attracted guests from all over the world to stop, enjoy and remember, including Samaranch Jr. and President Bach of the International Olympic Committee.

　　In Shougang Winter Olympic Park, more than 100 kilometers away from Yanqing, the statue of Olympic Goddess, which stands between steel blast furnaces, also welcomes athletes from all over the world. Its creator is sculptor Huang Jian.

　　Sculptor Huang Jian:My "Olympic Goddess" comes from the ancient Greek goddess of victory, which represents sports and victory. The base of this work is a lotus flower, which represents peace and beauty in China culture.

　　Speaking of it, the sculpture "Olympic Goddess" can appear in Yanqing Winter Olympic Village and Shougang Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, and there is still a legendary journey. Because as early as two years ago, Huang Jian created the Olympic Goddess in Beijing at the invitation of Mr. Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, and made his debut in Lausanne, Switzerland.

　　Sculptor Huang Jian:This work was completed at the International Olympic Committee on January 17th, 2020 during the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne. At that time, President Bach personally presided over the inauguration ceremony. President Bach once praised the Olympic Goddess as a great symbol of the Olympic spirit and world peace, and hoped that the Olympic Goddess would fly from Lausanne, the modern Olympic capital, to the host city of every Olympic Games.

　　Huang Jian took "Olympic Goddess" as the core image of the series of Beijing Winter Olympics works, and created many groups of works. In "Dream in Concentric Circles" and "Together with the Future", she created "Chang ‘e Moon God" in a romantic way, joined hands with "Olympic Goddess" and danced with the sun and the moon, combining the traditional Chinese culture with the Olympic spirit.

　　Sculptor Huang Jian:Because we are the 24th Winter Olympics, and then the whole work is shaped like a group flower with 24 petals. We have 24 solar terms in China, and the Winter Olympics is held in our Spring Festival, which embodies the idea of better.

　　For the Beijing Winter Olympics, Huang Jian created a number of sculpture works, such as Olympic Flame, Winter Olympics Dream, Winter Olympics Song, Ten Thousand Years’ Covenant and Ode to Olympic Health.

　　Sculptor Huang Jian:As an artist, I actually made the Olympic Games (design) from July 13, 2001, the moment when Beijing successfully applied for the Olympic Games. From that moment on, I set such an ambition. So I have actually done 21 years of Olympic works, and there are 53 works so far.

　　He created 53 sculptures for six consecutive Olympic Games, and Huang Jian won the "Outstanding Contribution Award for Inheriting the Olympic Spirit" issued by the International Olympic Committee.
