On July 28th, the 5th typhoon of this year, "Dussuri", made landfall in Jinjiang, Quanzhou. A netizen posted that Quanzhou Strait Sports Center was "blown down", attracting netizens' attention. In the morning of that day, the official response from Quanzhou to Jimu News reporters stated that the article was untrue, and that the sports stadium only had a small amount of color plate skin peeling off from the outside of the roof, and the main structure was intact.
In the video posted by netizens, strong winds are raging, and there seems to be a large gap in the roof of a sports stadium, with some of the skin on the top dancing in the wind. A netizen posted a picture on their social media that said, "Those who originally planned to buy tickets for the Mayday concert can now apply for a refund, as the main venue has been blown down.".

On the morning of the 28th, Mr. Lin, a resident living near the sports stadium, told Jimu News reporters that the shape of the stadium is petal shaped. In the online video, due to shooting angle issues, it looks like a large piece of the entire roof collapsed in the middle, but in reality, it did not collapse.
In the video and photos sent by Mr. Lin to the reporter, it is evident that only some external materials have fallen off. According to the design and aerial photos of the sports stadium, it was found that the stadium is designed in a petal shape, and the stands are divided into four areas, each with a separate ceiling.
