For the beam of light in my heart!, Hangzhou Asian Games | Comment: Struggle
Beijing, September 12 (Xinhua) - The Chinese sports delegation for the Hangzhou Asian Games was established on September 12. 886 athletes will compete in 38 major events and 407 minor events. Since the 9th Asian Games in 1982, the Chinese sports delegation has won the highest total number of gold medals for ten consecutive times. We hope that Chinese athletes can not only bring glory to our country at their doorstep, but also inherit and carry forward the spirit of selfless dedication, scientific and pragmatic, law-abiding, unity and cooperation, and tenacious struggle. We will strive to make the host country's hosting of the Asian Games in China a glorious moment, while also achieving excellence in competition.

The Hangzhou Asian Games is the largest and highest level international comprehensive sports event held in China after the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is also an extremely important "mid-term exam" and "mock exam" for China's sports inspection and preparation for the Paris Olympics.
Among the athletes participating in the Chinese delegation, there are both young and inexperienced young players, as well as veteran athletes who have competed in multiple Olympic and Asian Games. As a competitive sports elite, challenging the limits and striving for victory is undoubtedly the right thing to do. However, victory is never easy to obtain. To win honors, it requires athletes to train hard for a long time, as well as coaches and staff to explore and innovate in specific training methods with a scientific and pragmatic attitude. The reason why Chinese table tennis and diving teams can thrive is related to the managers and coaches' understanding and recognition of these two sports in many dimensions higher than their opponents. In the Chinese swimming team, the methods of training physical fitness are both scientific, reasonable, and vivid, providing a "hard core" support for swimmers to chop waves. Respecting scientific laws and utilizing scientific research achievements, China's sports industry has continuously taken new and solid steps towards building a strong sports country.

On the other hand, when fighting at home, we must "win moral gold medals, style gold medals, and clean gold medals". Chinese athletes must ensure that there are no problems in anti doping, competition discipline, and civilized etiquette, and become leaders and advocates of fair competition in Asia and even the world.
Five years ago at the Jakarta Asian Games, Chinese athletes showcased a new image of Chinese youth to Asia, and many exciting moments were cherished in the memories of sports fans. After winning the 100m championship, Su Bingtian roared in the sky, while Xu Jiayu, the "backstroke king," bravely won hardware in the swimming pool. Lang Ping, 40 years after his first participation in the Asian Games, led the Chinese women's volleyball team to overcome obstacles and ultimately win the championship... What makes people even more nostalgic is the wonderful moments of China's first two hosting of the Asian Games: the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, together with the mascot "Panda Panpan", showcased the warm hospitality and heroic demeanor of the Chinese people to Asia; I can't forget the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, where people held the opening and closing ceremonies at Haixinsha Square. Chinese athletes faced the east and set sail, allowing the glory of sports to shine in Asia and the power of sports to inspire people.
The Hangzhou Asian Games is about to kick off, and the "tide" moment is approaching. Let us sincerely wish the "trendsetters" who are working hard for the beam of light in their hearts good luck!
