It's just 200 days to the opening of the 2022 Winter Olympics, which will be staged in China. A series of events were held to mark the milestone. In ZhangJiakou City, which will host some events, the Olympic spirit was very evident with young people taking center stage. CGTN's Ning Hong has more.

Friendship, solidarity and fair play.

Hundreds of students from across the world came together to promote the unique spirit of the Olympic Games, where diversity and inclusiveness are key elements.

WANG SONGYAN Student, Beijing BanChang Primary School "I really like the song we sang today. It said different skin colors, different stories, different languages and clothes, but the same smile, the same hope under one roof that's full of stars."

These young ambassadors are singing for a peaceful and better world. Beijing says it understands the role of sport in children's lives, especially education, and its power in drawing young people together from all over the world.
