Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, July 29th (Reporter Zheng Zhi) Thank you for your invitation. I am in the Universiade Village in Chengdu and have just returned to my dormitory.
It was already the early morning of the 29th, and when I returned to the Universiade Village dormitory, this sentence popped into my mind. On the evening of the 28th, the Chengdu Universiade opened at the main stadium of Dong’an Lake Sports Park. As a sports reporter, it is common to return to the residence in the early morning of the second day of the opening ceremony of a large-scale event, but this time it is different from the past.
On July 28, the Chinese university student sports delegation entered the stadium at the opening ceremony
Thanks to the opportunity provided by the China University Sports Association, I served as a media liaison officer for the Chinese University Sports Delegation of the Chengdu Universiade. I was still engaged in media-related work, but as a member of the delegation, this also means that this Universiade At the opening ceremony, instead of sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard, I walked into the stadium wearing a delegation uniform.
If someone in the future asks me how I feel this time, what will I say?
On the afternoon of July 28, the Chinese delegation assembled and set off downstairs in the apartment
For sports journalists, it’s an opportunity that’s hard to resist. On the 28th, the busy daytime was too busy to look forward to or feel anxious. After closing the documents and computers, it was not far from the meeting time at 5:30 pm. This is a later time than expected, and it also shows the confidence of the Chengdu Organizing Committee in the transportation organization.
The reporter followed the women’s volleyball team to board the bus
I originally wanted to catch up with the men’s volleyball team or the tennis team in the same car, so that I could pick up the two standard bearers of the Chinese delegation, Hu Zhenzhuo or Guo Hanyu, on the road, but then I was taken by the crowd to the women’s volleyball team bus. Since dinner will be missed during the opening ceremony, everyone received a meal package, which is quite rich in content.
The vehicle started, got on the bridge, crossed the farmland, and there were many Chengdu residents standing at the intersection they passed. With smiles on their faces, they waved enthusiastically towards the inside of the car. With amazement and joy, the women’s volleyball girls on the car waved one after another. respond.

According to the plan, the delegation will take a rest in the gymnasium of Dong’an Lake Sports Park and get out of the vehicle. More and more volunteers appear on the side of the road. “Little Green Pepper” is their nickname. “Welcome to Chengdu!” They greeted enthusiastically, and the stickers in their hands also attracted the attention of the team members. Everyone asked for stickers of the five-star red flag or the mascot “Rongbao” to stick on their faces or registration cards superior.

The entrance of the gymnasium is on the second floor. The volume of the “little green peppers” suddenly became louder because of the arrival of the delegation. They stood in a row at the entrance of the stadium. The voice of “Chinese team, come on” never stopped, which was even more impressive. What is profound is the cry of “Xiongqi!”
At this time, many delegations were already waiting in the audience seats in the pavilion, and the Chinese team had also come to the outer platform according to the order of the projects. The teams of each project took group photos and videos. At the beginning, everyone’s slogans were “Cheer up for the XX team” and “Win the first place”, and finally they all became “Xiongqi”, with a Sichuan accent.
“Xiongqi” became the group photo slogan of many teams of the Chinese delegation on that day
As the sky darkened, the delegation prepared to march towards the stadium. At the end of the team, we suddenly heard cheers in front of us. When we looked up, a huge five-star red flag had appeared in front of the team. The lights outside the hall were just on it, like a classic oil painting of a battle and charge scene. The sound of cheers Suddenly spread from the head to the tail.

As we continued to move forward, the surrounding cheering shouts became louder and louder. If a person stood near the stadium, it would be enough to judge the distance between the Chinese delegation and the stadium by the crescendo. On the road from the second floor of the stadium to the entrance of the first floor, volunteers, security personnel and other staff created a welcoming atmosphere for the Chinese delegation. The resounding “Come on!”
The team waited for a while, some people raised their mobile phones to record the surrounding scenes, some people began to take selfies in small groups, and some people exchanged news they just saw: “Qin Haiyang broke the world record!” “Wang Shuang scored a penalty! “Although Chengdu is far away from Fukuoka and Adelaide, the hearts of Chinese sports people are very close.
Workers cheering and cheering on both sides of the road
Walking into the aisle before entering the arena, the cheers and cheers became louder, and reached the peak at the moment when the lights of the stadium suddenly turned red. , We were submerged in the huge enthusiasm and noise. After sitting down, I couldn’t calm down for a long time.

The opening ceremony was very exciting. After the end, the delegation got up and left. Performers, flag bearers and other staff lined up in two teams on the runway, and said goodbye to us walking in it with high fives, and the people of Sichuan in the surrounding stands shouted “Xiongqi” one after another. “Come on for the game!” “Play well!” There are also other media liaison officers in the team. Facing the enthusiastic and expectant eyes, we once felt ashamed and could only say “Thanks for your hard work”, but later we gradually felt relieved. Volunteers and staff showed 100% enthusiasm in Chengdu during the Universiade. In the few hours in Dong’an Lake Sports Park, the 200% enthusiasm we felt throughout the process was not for ourselves, but for the This five-star red flag.
It was already late at night when the return bus started, and when we reached the urban area where we left, there were even Chengdu citizens standing by the roadside, waving to us in the bus, and we waved vigorously in response. It was past midnight when we returned to the village, and the restaurant still served all the products, and there were busy staff everywhere. There may be a different atmosphere in the opening ceremony venue, and the long-term preparations are over. This opening ceremony is worth the rest of the time for the cast and crew to relax and enjoy. For the participants of the Chengdu Universiade, different positions may have different experiences on this night.
But as a member of the Chinese University Sports Delegation, I think the answer to the question at the beginning will be as clear as mine. On the opening night in Chengdu, the biggest feeling can be summed up in eight words-“Clear Love, only for China”.
