Let more people feel the passion of Jiaxing. Exclusive interview with live broadcast director Jiang Nan at the Jiaxing Station of the Hangzhou Asian Games Torch Relay: Running from "History" to "Future"
At 9:00 am on September 10th, the Jiaxing Station of the torch relay for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou was launched. The route of Jiaxing Station is themed "Red Boat Navigation, Building Dreams for the Future", divided into three major chapters: Jiangnan Ancient Charm, Centennial Charm, and Vitality Capital, with a total length of 8.8 kilometers. As the live broadcast director of the Jiaxing Station of the Hangzhou Asian Games Torch Relay, Jiang Nan and his team from the Qianjiang Urban Channel of Zhejiang Radio and Television Group went through multiple visits and planning, and arrived in Jiaxing one week in advance to start the preparation work. What are his feelings about this torch relay event? Let's take a look at the exclusive interview with him by a journalist from China Blue News.
Jiang Nan: Firstly, the performances of the warm-up program are all local intangible cultural heritage programs, and all the actors are ordinary people. You can see some big brothers, uncles, and aunts performing on stage, which is also to reflect that this Asian Games is the Asian Games at your doorstep. Enable more people to participate and enjoy it.
The second difference is that each city has its own unique route characteristics. We can see the route of Jiaxing as an ancient city wall, starting from the Zicheng ruins, passing through Nanhu Tiandi and Nanhu Park, and finally reaching the Citizen Square in the new city. It runs from history towards a hundred years, towards the red ship, and then towards the present and the future. So I think this route can truly showcase Jiaxing's historical and revolutionary culture, including Jiaxing's celebrity culture and ancient town culture.
Jiang Nan: We have already visited Jiaxing four or five times in the early stage, and before today's live broadcast, our vanguard troops arrived in Jiaxing 7 days in advance, adopting a point-to-point approach to ensure that every point was not missed.
Jiang Nan: In order to present the best Asian Games torch relay, this year's torch relay will take place in 11 cities in Zhejiang province. In fact, every city wants to showcase its best side to everyone, to the Chinese people, to Asia, and to the world. Including on this street, when torchbearers run by, many citizens come to cheer and cheer. We also aim as many images and shots as possible at them, so that they can feel the Asian Games and more people can feel the passion of Jiaxing as a city of transmission.
