A Star Is Born
Before the Spring Festival, on February 1 this year, nobody could have imagined Bing Dwen Dwen, the roly-poly panda mascot of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, would become a breakout star.
The chubby lucky charm wearing a transparent shell made its public debut in September 2019. The Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (BOCOG) had developed a series of licensed merchandise featuring the mascot, including stuffed animals, ceramics and throw pillows. However, it wasn’t until February 4, when the Beijing 2022 Games opened, that the mascot and its related products became a sensation.
