The Hangzhou Asian Games allow the world to feel the pulse of China in the new era

The Hangzhou Asian Games have come to a close, and the 15 day event provides the best stage for athletes from all over Asia to showcase themselves.

Through the window of the Asian Games, the whole Asia and the world have also seen Hangzhou and China leading the trend of the times.

The children who watched the Chinese team match on site saw the seeds of sports sprouting in their hearts.

Sports competition is destined to be the most important topic in the Asian Games. This year's Asian Games has set up 40 major events, 61 sub events, and 481 sub events, with Hangzhou and 5 co hosting cities participating in the events. This has made the Hangzhou Asian Games the largest, most diverse, and most widely covered Asian Games in history, covering almost all Olympic major events and sub events.

The competition also added two new sports events, e-sports and breakdancing. As emerging forms of sports, the emergence of these two events highlights the innovation and inclusiveness of the Asian Games.

The Chinese sports delegation ultimately made history with 201 gold medals, 111 silver medals, and 71 bronze medals, surpassing the 199 gold medal record set at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games.

Zhang Xin, Secretary General of the Chinese Sports Delegation, stated that the Asian Games is the "high school entrance examination" before the Paris Olympics and will lay a solid foundation for next year's Paris Olympics.

It is worth mentioning that for Chinese sports, gold medals are no longer the only goal of large-scale events - before the Hangzhou Asian Games, national fitness had already become a national strategic goal.

Data shows that the total number of people who regularly participate in physical exercise in China is as high as 400 million, and Chinese sports are on the track of coordinated development of competitive sports, national fitness, and the sports industry.

The successful hosting of the Hangzhou Asian Games will further stimulate domestic demand, enhance the exchange of sports industry resources with foreign countries, and press the accelerator button for the development of sports industry.

Zhang Yufei won 6 gold medals alone and was elected as the MVP of the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Sports have always been an important carrier and presentation of civilization. The Hangzhou Asian Games is a sports event and a cultural exchange event, allowing people from various Asian countries to have a deeper understanding of each other's cultures and traditions. Through sports as a common language, we can unite more closely.

Raja Randir Singh, Acting President of the Olympic Council of Asia, stated that the Hangzhou Asian Games is a call to the world. "Humanity has encountered various problems, but the Asian family is united. We can find solutions in China, and through our efforts at the Hangzhou Asian Games, we can convey the concept of Asia's strength and unity, which will also affect the world."

Vice President of the International Olympic Committee, Huang Simian, also believes that China's consecutive major international sports events in recent years have profound significance.

"On the one hand, it has established China's status as a world sports powerhouse and promoted peace and friendship through sports, creating a better world for everyone."

The main venue of the Hangzhou Asian Games is the "Big Lotus".

During the Asian Games, the slogan of "finishing a meeting and improving a city" is well-known, and it is also the most authentic portrayal of the Hangzhou Asian Games.
