The Universiade is not only a passionate arena, but also a youthful event for young college students worldwide to deepen their understanding and enhance friendship. At this Universiade, many old friends will meet again.
Tiaohu is a traditional etiquette and game in China that continued from the pre Qin period to the end of the Qing dynasty, and it is also a traditional sports event in China. The game in the Universiade Village was played by Feng Hao, an archer of the Chinese University Student Sports Delegation, and his old friend Samad, an archer of Türkiye, and their teammates.

The friendship between Feng Hao and Samard originated from the third Summer Youth Olympic Games held in Argentina in 2018. At that time, both of them were only 17 years old, and the two, who were both archers, were opponents on the field but became friends off the field. Later, at the 2019 Archery World Cup Shanghai Station, they met again. And this is their third meeting.
Chinese college student sports delegation archer Feng Hao: When I came to the competition on the first day, I looked aside and saw him.

Türkiye delegation archer Samad: It has been five years since I became a friend. I didn't know he would also come to the Universiade before. On the first day of the archery competition, I was really surprised to see him on the field.
As the host of this Universiade, Feng Hao hopes that his foreign friends can feel the charm of Chinese traditional culture. In his spare time in the Universiade Village, he often invites Samad and his Türkiye teammates to go to art exhibitions and cultural fairs.

Samad, the archery athlete of the Türkiye delegation: Feng Hao told me that pitcher is a traditional sports event derived from ancient archery, which inspired my imagination. It's very interesting. I am very impressed by the charm and long history of Chinese civilization.
Knowing that Samad enjoys drinking tea and is interested in Chinese tea culture, Feng Hao even took his friends to experience Gongfu tea in the Dayun Village.

Türkiye delegation archer Samad: Feng Hao gave me a surprise gift, Chinese tea. I'm going to take it back to Türkiye and drink it again. Savoring the taste of tea carefully will make me recall the wonderful time we spent together at the Chengdu Universiade.
This old friend has already made an appointment. See you at the next competition.
