Shuey Rhon Rhon is a Chinese lantern child who is looking forward to welcome friends from around the globe for the mega event. Exuding positivity, the glow emanating from its heart symbolises the inspiring warmth, friendship, courage, and perseverance of Para athletes that lights up the dreams of millions every day.The Chinese lantern is a millennia-old cultural symbol associated with harvest, celebration, prosperity and brightness. Red is the most auspicious and festive colour of the country and is all the more fitting given the Games will coincide with Chinese New Year celebrations in February and March 2022.The overall design on Shuey Rhon Rhon draws from traditional Chinese papercut, Ruyi ornaments, features doves, Beijing’s iconic Temple of Heaven, snow to symbolise peace, friendship and happiness. In 2018, responding to a call from her teachers, the then junior student at the Jilin University of Arts submitted a design for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics－a Chinese knot and a red lantern. Born in 1998 in Yichun, Heilongjiang province, Jiang was influenced by the strong festive atmosphere in her hometown, where red lanterns hang everywhere.They became the inspiration for her design, but the process of revising and improving it was demanding.One difficulty was how to make a lantern look more alive.Ideas to add antlers and wings to the lantern failed to satisfy either the designer or her team.Finally, they decided to make the lantern patterned, adding doves and the outline of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.To make its eyes stand out, the team added a splash of snow across Shuey Rhon Rhon's face. And the area around the Olympic emblem is able to glow.Jiang said that she hopes her lantern will warm the world and light up people's dreams. It's a sentiment in line with the spirit of the Olympics and a necessary function of a good design.Jiang hopes that once the Games open, Shuey Rhon Rhon will become just as popular as Bing Dwen Dwen, this year's Winter Olympic mascot.
