At the event venue, foreign university students enthusiastically experienced traditional Chinese sports such as cuju, pitching, archery, and diabolo. The cultural and creative exhibition jointly organized by more than 20 well-known domestic museums, including the Palace Museum and the National Museum of China, has pushed the atmosphere of the event to a climax. At the launch ceremony, the Sichuan University Museum, in collaboration with the Peking University Sackler Archaeology and Art Museum, Sun Yat sen University Museum, and other six domestic university museums, issued a lifetime free visit invitation to all athletes participating in the Universiade.
"People's hearts are connected, culture is connected, and the display of cultural relics can most realistically, vividly, with details, and warmth reflect our history, allowing young people to see the creative wisdom of ancient people not through preaching, but through cultural relics one by one." Huo Wei, the director of the Sichuan University Museum, said in an interview, "Museums can act as bridges, connecting the hearts of young people from all over the world, which is also the profound significance of this activity."
It is reported that one of the important projects of this exchange activity, "Youth In Time" - the 31st Chengdu Summer Universiade Athletes' Gala will be held on the evening of July 29th at the ASEAN Art Center Theater in Dayun Village. It will provide a stage for college athletes to exchange and interact, enhance understanding, and deepen friendship through various forms such as Chinese style, folk music, Chuanjiang horn, rap, street dance, and electronic sound.
"This is an exciting moment where various cultures collide. The Universiade is a great opportunity to reflect the essence of a community with a shared future for mankind," said Ricardo Romani, mentor of the International Federation of Youth Journalists Program.
