Is a lovely post-95 female student

Studying at Jilin Art Institute

Jiang Yufan

Jiang Yufan told reporters

The prototype of Xue Rongrong is during the Spring Festival

Red lanterns hanging at the door of every household

The name "Shuey Rhon"

One is the “容” of inclusiveness.

One is the “Rong” of fusion.

The middle area is a patch of white snow.

In the Northeast

Snowball fights are a common form of entertainment.

Throw snowballs at each other

Cheerful and lively

The design work is welcomed by so many people

She feels lucky

"Because not everyone's efforts can be seen by others

I was discovered by everyone.”

For Jiang Yufan, who was a junior at the time

The work can enter the revision stage

It's a great honor

From Changchun to Beijing

When I went to a meeting with my teacher

Still a bit shocked

I can't believe it

It feels like pie in the sky.”

She told reporters

"At that moment, my whole body was numb with excitement"

Xue Rongrong seems to have no mouth?

Since the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics

Mascots remain popular

Some people questioned

Just look at the appearance

Xue Rongrong seems to have no mouth?

To this

Jiang Yufan explained

Xue Rongrong has a mouth

"Its snow-white face has an arc under it.

That arc is the mouth."

There is another detail that is easy to overlook

Many netizens began

Draw or make two cute mascots yourself

While drawing

Automatically think Bing Dwen Dwen is a "boy"

Xue Rongrong is a "girl"...

But, in reality

They have no gender

Because according to the rules of the International Olympic Committee

Mascots cannot have gender differences

Because there can be no gender differences

So Bing Dwen Dwen and Xue Rongrong cannot "speak" either.

This is reflected in the upcoming animated film

It is also shown in "Our Winter Olympics"

In this animation

Bing Dwen Dwen and Xue Rongrong appeared many times

But no one spoke

Instead, it makes a sound of "Yiyaya"

“Once you speak, it’s easy to tell the gender

therefore

When the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee signed an agreement with the producer

When using the images of Bing Dwen Dwen and Xue Rongrong

Cannot speak and should be gender neutral'

Wrote it in

same

Making a Winter Olympics promotional video

When shooting movies and videos related to the Winter Olympics

If the images of 'Bing Dwen Dwen' and 'Shuey Rhon Rhon' appear

Generally speaking, you can’t talk.”
