Under the guidance of clay sculptor Zhang Dengfeng, 14 participants from 11 different countries made their own “Bing Dwen Dwen” figurines, the mascot for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. The center has been offering free online and offline Chinese culture classes since April. Courtesy of HISC |
