This achievement is a vivid portrayal of the lunar spirit of pursuing dreams, exploring bravely, tackling difficulties together, and cooperating for win-win results. It is highly consistent with the higher, faster, and stronger Olympic spirit, and also inspires everyone's confidence and determination to further concentrate on running the Winter Olympic Games.

In July this year, the two sides signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement to carry out cooperation in major space projects. This time, the chang'e-5 probe carried the Winter Olympic exhibition display items such as the flag, emblem and mascot, and sent the Winter Olympic logo to the moon and smoothly returned to the Organizing Committee of the Winter Olympic Games. This is a major achievement of strategic cooperation, creating a model for the integration and innovation of Olympic Culture and Aerospace Science and technology. In the next step, these Winter Olympics exhibits will bring 'blessings' from space to meet the people of the world, attracting more attention and support from all walks of life, including the vast number of space enthusiasts.
