Medals (奖牌) are an important part of the Olympic Games. The medals of Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games are named Tongxin, meaning "Together as one" in Chinese. The idea comes from yu bi, a piece of ancient Chinese jade (玉) with circles that have the same center.
The front side of the medals has the five Olympic rings in the center, with five big rings all around. Between the first and second rings are the words "XXIV Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022". The cloud shapes are used to continue a cultural connection with the 2008 Games, while the snow and ice markings are the symbols of the Winter Olympics.
On the back of each medal, the logo of the Beijing 2022 Games is in the center with the full Chinese name of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games around it. There are 24 points of star on the circles, carrying the anticipation that the sports players achieve success and shine like stars at the Beijing 2022 Games.
The medal ribbons (挂带) are made of silk. Their red color stands for good luck in Chinese culture and it can also express warm wishes to players as the Games began during the Spring Festival holiday. The medal boxes are made of bamboo following the idea of green Olympics.
From May 2020 to July 2021, Hang Hai headed the design of the medals. "The medals are the result of many people's efforts. However, the smiles on the winners' faces as they wear them make it worth our while," Hang said. "And I wish, as time goes by, people will still be able to see their beauty."

A talk between Shenzhou- 14 astronauts and ASEAN teenagers started on November 1, 2022. The main talk place was in Beijing. The Shenzhou- 14 astronauts are Liu Yang, Chen Dong and Cai Xuzhe. The talk interested nearly 1, 000 teenagers from China and ASEAN member states. They talked with each other on the Internet.
Some students were interested in the three astronauts' life in the space station. The astronaut answered their questions patiently. There is no gravity(重力)in space, so things are not as heavy as they are on Earth. When they drop something, it doesn't fall to the floor. They eat and drink differently in space. They have special plates so that their food doesn't fly away. In fact, they can drink hot water and eat fresh and hot food in the space station. Though they can see sunrises and sunsets every 90 minutes in space, they still get 7 hours of sleep every night.
The three astronauts also say exercise is important for them as well. Since there is no gravity their muscles(肌肉) become weak very quickly. To prevent this from happening, they have to exercise on special machines to train their muscles every day. However, it is not all hard work in space. When they are not doing science experiments, writing reports or exercising, they watch movies and read the news for fun.
A high school student from the Philippines thought the talk was creative and interesting. It made him know more about the life of astronauts. He knew the beauty of our planet well from the talk, too.
