Abstract: | 'Welcome to China! Back in her hotel room after attending the opening ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, 18-year-old American snowboarder Tessa Maud couldn't stop watching a particular video she'd taken during the event: the greeting from a Chinese volunteer lining the parade of the nations in response to her saying nihao (hello in Chinese). She hailed it as the cutest thing ever. The following day, on February 5, she posted the video on TikTok. |
