This ice rink has also led to the development of the students on the ice project of the adjacent Kangzhuang Primary School, the Xiayu Primary School and the Xiaofengying Primary School. "We want to plant the seed of winter sports in the hearts of students.

"This seed may not grow into a towering tree as most of them will not engage in snow and ice sports, but as long as they realize the joy of winter sports while growing up I feel that what we are doing is worth it," says Ding.
