Chapter 191: The opening of the Asian Games

To be honest, after Liu Lang participated in the Los Angeles Olympics six years ago, he was not very interested in events of this level in the Asian Games, besides, in the era of his rebirth, the Asian Games did not attract much attention at all, and every time Chinese athletes were alone, they could not find opponents at all, except for football, of course......... Only the Olympics will get everyone excited.

But for people in this era, the Asian Games is already the grandest competition, the whole country is paying attention, Liu Lang still remembers that the school was on vacation when the Asian Games were held in the previous life, and everyone stayed at home and waited to watch the opening ceremony, when the Chinese delegation walked into the venue, Liu Lang sat in front of the TV and raised his hands excitedly, at that time Liu Lang secretly decided to go to the scene to see the Olympic Games held in China, but the reality is not ideal, eighteen years later, when China held the Olympic Games, Liu Lang was running for life, where is there idle time and spare money?

This life is all made up, Liu Lang doesn't pay for watching the Asian Games, in fact, the Sports Committee had approached him earlier, wanting him to be the torch relay bearer, but Liu Lang politely declined, one is because he has already arranged things, being a torchbearer will take him at least a few days, and the torchbearer is going to be on TV, he doesn't want to show his head, the sports committee department is not angry, Liu Lang, this little guy himself is very "mysterious", the country has to protect it, maybe even if he agrees, the above must be stopped, let " "National Treasure" is probably very inappropriate to come out and be a torchbearer.

On the eve of the Asian Games, many wealthy people on Hong Kong Island have received invitations from the country's top leaders to the capital, Huo Tianting and Huo Tianhuan brothers came here on behalf of the Huo family, as well as the Li family, the Guo family and others, Hua Han was also invited, but his invitation was sent by Shao Mingtao, after all, his identity is not comparable to those rich people, but Hua Han is also content, Shao Mingtao represents the country, and he can receive the invitation of the other party to prove that what he has done over the years has been recognized.

The day before the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, Liu Lang, Sun Hu and the Huo family brothers sat in a Mercedes-Benz car and circled the entire capital.

Three years ago, there was only the third ring road in the capital, and now the North Fourth Ring Road has been mostly completed, of course, Liu Lang's previous capital has built the fifth ring road, but it is still not enough, maybe the sixth ring and the seventh ring ............ have to be built.

The changes in the capital in the past two years Huo Tianting is the clearest, Wangfujing's China Town has been under construction for four years, and now it is almost completed, and it will be open for business early tomorrow, this big project costs more than 100 million, so Huo Tianting has spent half of the time here in the past few years.

"Liu Lang, I'll take you to the overpass!"

Huo Tianting personally drove and took a few people to wander around the city at will, going to the overpass for a while, and passing through the culvert for a while, he knew much more about the capital than Liu Lang.

Along the way, Liu Lang has seen a lot of strange buildings, most of them have just been completed, you must know that the metropolis has invested more than 3 billion yuan in urban construction in the past four years, which is already another large-scale construction of the capital since the construction of the Great Hall and other "ten major buildings" in the fifties, and this time the scale is much larger than the last time, Liu Lang has been to West Germany, in terms of modern architecture alone, the capital is no less than Berlin.

In addition, there are the Asian Games logo and the mascot of the Asian Games that can be seen everywhere, and the emblem of the Asian Games in the capital is not only the sun in the emblem of the Olympic Council of Asia, but also the majestic Great Wall to form an "A".

The Great Wall is a symbol of China's ancient civilization, "A" is the abbreviation of the English Asia, the combination of the two, on behalf of the Asian Games held in the capital will become a link to unite the people of Asian countries, this idea is still good, in addition to the Great Wall pattern also constitutes the word "XI", indicating that the Asian Games is the eleventh.

In addition to this monogram, the most memorable is the mascot, that is, a giant panda named Panpan, this giant panda is definitely the most famous giant panda in Chinese history, no giant panda can be compared with it, in Liu Lang's previous life, the Chinese people in the nineties may not know what a unicorn is, but no one does not know "Panpan", during that time it was a Chinese mythical beast.

In fact, after the Spring Festival in the 90s, the emblem of the Asian Games and the figure deeply imprinted in the minds of the Chinese people have appeared in the streets and alleys of the capital, including the national television.

This giant panda holding a gold medal in his left hand and thumbs up with his right hand carries the intention of Chinese hospitality, but also carries the blessings of the Chinese people, it is everywhere, statues, flower beds, pencil cases, school bags, handkerchiefs, refrigerator magnets, stickers, etc., in his previous life, Liu Lang had several stationery boxes painted with this giant panda.

Let's put it this way, Panpan appears much more frequently than Fuwa during the Olympic Games, and in the Internet era, it is definitely a well-deserved number one Internet celebrity.

Panpan's prototype panda named "Bass", but the same name as the protagonist of Toy Story, was ten years old at ninety, and it lived until 2017 before dying, at the age of thirty-seven Chinese New Year's Eve, which is equivalent to one hundred and eight years old for humans, and its life has accompanied a whole generation of Chinese and left a good memory.

In addition to the monogram and mascot, the song "Asian Heroes" is played all over the street, and the passionate emotions permeate the whole city.

On the afternoon of September 22, 1990, the 11th Capital Asian Games, which symbolizes the "unity, friendship, and progress" of the Asian people, was grandly opened at the Workers' Stadium.

A total of more than 6,500 sports delegations from 37 countries and regions that are members of the Olympic Council of Asia participated, and the entire venue was full of seats, and Liu Lang sat in a corner of the rostrum, next to the Huo Tianting brothers.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the opening ceremony officially began, first the entrance ceremony, when the huge delegation of the Chinese team walked into the venue, the audience gave the warmest applause, and everyone on the rostrum also stood up and cheered, especially the Huo Tianting brothers, it can be seen that they really have a sense of pride in their hearts at this moment.

At the end of the entrance ceremony, Xu Haifeng, who won China's first Olympic gold medal, held the Asian Games torch high, ran into the Workers' Stadium under the escort of former women's volleyball player Zhang Rongfang and diving champion Gao Min, and boarded the torch platform to light the Asian Games flame after a week around the field.

Amid the shouts of the audience, the flame was lit and countless doves of peace took off into the sky.

On this day, NORINCO also gave all employees a day off, but most of the employees chose to gather in the factory activity room to watch, when the camera swept over the rostrum, a few sharp-eyed workers actually saw their boss, and they didn't know whether the cameraman intentionally or not, the shot also paused for about a second, Liu Lang in the lens is very clear, of course, the lens and Liu Lang are far away, if not very familiar with him people can not tell.

"The boss is sitting on the rostrum, it's amazing!"

Everyone is very excited, not everyone can sit on the rostrum, the one in the middle is the first leader of the country, and there are prime ministers and vice prime ministers next to them, and they must be among the top dozens of people in the country to sit around these people.

Of course, the focus of everyone's attention is still the opening ceremony, in order to set off the atmosphere, Wang Zhendong also sent people to buy a lot of pictorial pictures painted with Panpan and pasted them on the wall of the activity room, when the flame was lit, the people in the activity room also shouted and cheered.
