Chao Ping | Your applause is not just for the Chinese team
On September 19th, Chinese players Wang Yanwei and Li Jie celebrated in the E group stage of the men's beach volleyball group stage at the Hangzhou Asian Games held in Ningbo, Zhejiang. The grand event has not yet officially begun, and the horn of the competition has already sounded. September 19th is the first competition day before the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games, and group stage and preliminary matches including cricket, volleyball, beach volleyball, football and other events have already started. The enthusiastic audience and shouting have already made the Asian Games athletes feel a wave of enthusiasm from the host country in advance.
It's hot, people are even taller. At the Ningbo Banbian Mountain Beach Volleyball Center, players from the Chinese and Palestinian sand volleyball teams jump, spike, and save, coming and going, attracting waves of exclamation and admiration from the audience. At this moment, the audience has transformed into the "atmosphere group" of the Asian Games, cheering and cheering on the athletes from both sides. Although cricket is a niche sport in China, the opening match at the Pingfeng Campus of Zhejiang University of Technology has also attracted many spectators. In the audience, there were also 4-year-old children who followed their parents to experience the atmosphere of the first day of the Asian Games. "I hope the children can feel the spirit of the athletes' hard work and hard work." Mom's words conveyed the hearts of many on-site viewers.
A tense competition, truly burning; The atmosphere on site is hot. On the first day of the competition, the Asian Games venue couldn't help but evoke the feeling that this is the home ground for all Asian Games athletes.
Any sports activity is not a one-man show for athletes themselves. As sung in the theme song of the Hangzhou Asian Games, "Life warms life, power stimulates strength.". The enthusiastic audience is actually a part of the entire game. Many Asian athletes from various countries and regions expressed the same level of meaning when interviewed by reporters: "I hope to achieve good results" and "I hope to win medals". Daily training is dull and tiring, but when it comes to competitions, they hope to achieve ideal results amidst the cheers and cheers of the audience. The enthusiastic encouragement from the audience can bring more passion to athletes, unleash stronger strength, and even achieve better results than before. This is not only the dream of Chinese athletes, but also the dream of all participating athletes. And in their medals, the audience's contribution is naturally indispensable.
At the largest Asian Games in history, Zhejiang will build a platform for sports exchange, cultural exchange, and emotional integration for Asian athletes. We are certainly very happy that Chinese athletes have achieved good results, but we should also not hesitate to give our opponents applause.
On the one hand, this reflects the spirit of sports and the spirit of the Asian Games. The competitive strength and fighting spirit of the athletes are awe inspiring, and regardless of whether they win or lose, they have shown a united and hardworking attitude. The Asian Games not only showcase the sports strength of Asian countries and regions, but also convey a value pursuit and spiritual power of unity, friendship, and progress.
On the other hand, as the host, we should also cultivate a more open, inclusive, and friendly attitude. Setting up the Eight Immortals Table and entertaining the Sixteen Parties, whether on or off the field, each of us represents Zhejiang and China. Athletes from different countries and regions come to Zhejiang not only for competitions, but also to promote cultural and value exchange with each other. This kind of cross-border and regional interaction is not only displayed on the competition field, but also deepened in the post competition interaction, building a bridge of mutual understanding and respect. We are in a state of etiquette, showcasing a good image in the audience is also a bonus for the host.
Passionate, open, and inclusive, Zhejiang is the home ground for Asian Games athletes. Sweat to the fullest, all the athletes! Cheer up, all the audience!
