The pulse of youth never stops, future online review: The closing food of the Universiade | China | Pulse
The 31st Summer Universiade for University Students has successfully concluded in Jincheng Chengdu. This grand gathering for young people not only attracted 6500 energetic college athletes to compete here, but also deeply fascinated visitors from all over the world with Chinese style and Bashu charm. Of course, the Chinese team also lived up to expectations and ultimately finished with a record of 103 gold, 40 silver, and 35 bronze, ranking first on both the gold and medal charts.
Looking back on this Universiade, from the symbol of people's pursuit and love for light, the "Sun God Bird", to the clever use of "cold alleys" designed low consumption and carbon reduction ventilation systems; From the joy of "eating hot pot after the competition" to letting taste buds bloom, to the lush greenery brought by park cities to young people around the world; From "the Chengdu Universiade is very exciting, allowing each of us to achieve our dreams" to "the Chengdu Universiade will be a template and demonstration for the future Universiade"... In addition to competitions, young people around the world constantly perceive the fruitful achievements of China's ecological civilization construction and immerse themselves in the long and profound history of Chinese culture.
A grand gathering for young people, competition is not the only purpose, but more importantly, it is to exchange and learn from each other, deepen understanding, improve skills, and harvest friendship. Similarly, this grand sports event has become a window to showcase China's development and the spiritual outlook of university students. College athletes not only see the cultural charm and Chinese characteristics of the opening and closing ceremonies, but also experience the local customs and culinary traditions after the competition.
Different countries and cultures can exchange and integrate here. College athletes not only compete, but also experience, communicate, and share each other's stories. To some extent, in this positive learning and communication, they will learn more about respect and tolerance, and the world will become better as a result.
In such a park city, watching pandas and witnessing the fruits of peace and development, its charm is definitely very healing. I believe this will make everyone very emotional. Presenting such a grand event to the world at this moment demonstrates China's influence in communication. To be honest, the Chengdu Universiade not only showcases the infinite possibilities of young Chinese people, but also empowers the city with a strong sports spirit. Competition after competition, exchange after exchange, scenery after scenery, and food after food, fully showcase the traditional beauty, competitive beauty, and cultural beauty of China and Chengdu. Although the Chengdu Universiade has come to a close, both the explicit sports heritage and hidden sports resources left behind will benefit this city and countless citizens for a long time.
And when we look back at the scenes of the Universiade, there are surprises and regrets, both the grand narrative of the great country's charm and the warm and touching scenes of going out of circles. What is particularly valuable is that on this grand stage of the Universiade, there are athletes who showcase their professional skills to the fullest, as well as lovely and interesting college students in the new era. This is probably the meaning of sports and the appearance of youth. After putting in all their efforts, regardless of whether they step onto the podium or not, they are all outstanding. There is no definition or standard for success. The key is for young people to give their all on their own track and enjoy the joy and fun of hard work.
Youth is the sprouting of early spring, the morning sun, and a hundred flowers, as well as the unrestrained pursuit and unrestrained flight. The Universiade has come to an end, but the pulse of youth never stops. The stories of Chengdu, China, and youth are yet to be continued, and we look forward to them together!
