The city of Bincheng, located in the North, always faced longer winter days.
Enthusiastic skiers from all over the country gathered here to relish the thrill of speed.
Jiang Yi, dressed in a bright yellow ski suit and donning ski goggles, her hair flying in the sunlight, became the most dazzling scenery on the slopes.
With many beginners around, from afar, crowds could be seen frequently tumbling down, one after another, followed by peals of laughter and joyful shouts.
Only Jiang Yi moved freely and easily among them, the snowflakes whirling in her wake as she passed.
Wen Suihan, in a grey and white ski suit, was fully equipped and stood at the bottom of the slopes with arms open to welcome Jiang Yi descending from above.
After slowing down, Jiang Yi steadied herself into Wen Suihan's embrace, drawing envious glances from all around.
Breathless, Jiang Yi removed her ski goggles, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat that refracted colorful light in the sunshine.
