The festive spirit fills the air in Harbin – the host city of the ninth Asian Winter Games. Nestled in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, Harbin is beautifully adorned with vibrant decorations, and the Games' mascots, Binbin and Nini, have won many people's hearts. These figures, along with a series of visual elements for the Games, were crafted by a design team from the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University, led by Professor Chen Lei. In this episode, we explore the mastermind behind the Games' visual identity.
