Fish and riches

During the closing ceremony, the Malanhua Children's Choir from a mountainous area of Fuping county in Hebei province performed again, this time with different clothes.

The Chinese paper-cut of double fish was seen on their clothes, meaning "rich and have a surplus in the next year" in Chinese culture.

From the vigorous tiger pattern at the opening ceremony, to the fish pattern at the closing ceremony, Chinese elements are used to express best wishes.
