A group of photos of Zhejiang businesspeople celebrating the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games being displayed on the giant video screen of the Nasdaq stock exchange in Times Square in New York recently went viral on the internet.
The photos were shown at 7 am local time, at the same time as the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics at 8 pm Beijing time. The photos featured slogans like: "Let's go, Beijing! Let's go, Winter Olympics! Together for a shared future."
The photos were organized by the US Zhejiang General Chamber of Commerce for the Chinese New Year and the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Photos of 17 members of the US Zhejiang General Chamber of Commerce were also shown on the screen.
Lin Guang, president of the general chamber of commerce and a native of Wenzhou, a coastal city in Zhejiang province, said that their celebrations started at the beginning of the 100-day countdown to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
"Chinese people from across the globe are celebrating Beijing 2022 in their own way. And we chose the Nasdaq screen because it's unique and impressive," Lin said.
He also cheered for athletes from Wenzhou and said he was looking forward to their performances during the major sporting event.
