On this day, the whole of Thailand, especially the capital Bangkok, is lit up like a festival. When Zhang Huasong and Zhang Peimeng went out to the streets, they found that the atmosphere of Thai people's warm celebration was a little too enthusiastic.

It's not the Olympics, it's not the Men's World Cup, it's just a university games, and those famous sports stars can't look down on it and don't come to participate, why does Thailand make it seem like it's hosting the Olympics?

When Zhang Huasong found a Thai who could speak English and asked clearly, he learned that the World Universiade hosted by Thailand was not only to show their hospitality and Thai scenery and folk customs through this Universiade, but also to celebrate the 80th birthday of the King of Thailand.

Thailand's current reigning king is Bhumibol Adulyadej, born in 1927, which coincides with his 80th birthday this year.

Therefore, Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is full of lights, and the citizens are so elated, not only to welcome the opening ceremony of today's Universiade, but also to congratulate the king on the big stage of this world competition.

Thailand is not a big country, and it does not have the strength to host super events such as the Olympics and the Men's World Cup, and except for the World University Games, the Thai people will probably not have the opportunity to celebrate the king's 10th birthday in front of the media and spectators around the world.

Moreover, the English-speaking Thai citizen also mysteriously said that the person who lit the Universiade flame at the opening ceremony had been kept secret, and the public had never known who it was. He guessed that it should be a member of the royal family who would light the fire on behalf of the king.

If it weren't for the king's 80-year-old age, it is estimated that the king would have gone to light the fire himself.

When he said this, the Thai citizen seemed very excited and longing, saying that he had already bought tickets for the opening ceremony and was going to see the royal family light the flame.

The Thai people were very excited about the royal family lighting the fire, but Zhang Huasong and others didn't feel anything. Just listen to a little story, and then continue to go shopping, experience the local scenery and folklore of Bangkok.

In the evening, back to the Universiade Village, after dinner, the organizers took the Chinese delegation to the Rajamangala National Stadium to prepare for the opening ceremony of the 24th University Games.

As a result, Thailand's hot and humid climate is capricious, with the sun still shining at noon and drizzling in the evening.

However, everyone's interest in attending the opening ceremony was very high, and it was not affected much.

Spectators entered one after another, filling the more than 40,000-seat National Stadium of Thailand.

The Chinese official communicated with Thailand that the opening time of the Universiade is the same as the 2008 Peking Olympics.

The Peking Olympics opened at 8 p.m. on August 8, 2008, and the Bangkok Universiade also opened at 8 p.m. on August 8, 2007, exactly one year ahead of schedule.

However, before 8 p.m., after the audience entered, there were already Thai bands and song and dance troupes warming up the performance, mobilizing the warm atmosphere of the audience. There were also soldiers of the Thai military who parachuted from the stadium and landed into the stadium, bringing the atmosphere of the whole scene to a high level.

At 8 p.m. local time in Thailand, the 24th Universiade officially opened at the National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. At the same time, the drizzle in the sky also stopped, causing the audience to cheer, and everyone thought it was a good omen.

After the President of the World University Sports Federation delivered a speech, and the Secretary-General of the Organizing Committee of the Universiade of Thailand announced the start of the opening ceremony, 80 paratroopers dressed in colorful costumes fell from the sky to represent the birthday of the King of Thailand.

Then, Thailand's most important specialty, the elephant, also slowly entered. A total of 80 well-trained white elephants, also symbolizing the king's 80th birthday, were ridden by 80 knights and walked from the entrance to the arena, causing enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

The elephants were followed by delegations from 158 countries and more than 12,000 university athletes.

Greater China Huaguo, Moswan, Xianggang and Omen all sent delegations, with 445 from Huaguo, 189 from Moswan, 52 from Xianggang and 35 from Omen.

China and Thailand are separated by a strip of water, and the Thais are also relatively close to China. The four delegations from Greater China entered the venue and were warmly cheered by the audience.

When Zhang Huasong followed the team into the stadium, he also saw that there was a spectator seat in the stands occupied by Chinese people holding five-star red flags, which was estimated to be the local Chinese in Bangkok, and there were hundreds of people.

Then, just as Zhang Huasong was taking pictures while walking with the big army, the spectators in the stands suddenly stood up and applauded and cheered at the Chinese delegation.

Zhang Huasong was inexplicable, looked left and right, and didn't see anything abnormal.

Then, turning his head to look back, it turned out to be a tall group of athletes walking behind and unfurling a huge banner in English: "Welcome-To-Beiping-8-Aug.2008".

On August 8, 2008, welcome to Beiping!

It turned out that the audience was cheering for this!

Coincidentally, on the occasion of the countdown to the first anniversary of the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympic Games, the college students of the Chinese delegation unfurled this banner, which naturally aroused an enthusiastic response from the audience.

After all the delegations entered, it was time for the most important Universiade flame lighting ceremony of the opening ceremony.

A young Thai beauty, who could be seen to be quite beautiful and in good shape even from a long distance, ran in from the entrance and ran along the red carpet to the Universiade cauldron in the stadium.

Under the on-site commentary in Thai, Chinese, English, and French, Zhang Huasong and others learned that the mysterious ignition man who had been kept secret was actually the king's granddaughter, Princess Siriwanali of Thailand.

Moreover, she is not only a Thai princess, but also a very high-level college badminton player, and will also participate in the badminton competition of this Universiade. Moreover, he is also one of the top three seeded players in this tournament, and is one of the heaviest and main competitors of the Chinese team badminton team.

Therefore, she appeared as a combination of the granddaughter of the King of Thailand, a Thai princess, and a college athlete, not only to celebrate the birthday of the King of Thailand, but also to express the meaning that this competition is dominated by college students.

Princess Xili Wanwali has a noble status, is beautiful, and exercises regularly, and looks very young, beautiful, and energetic.

The organizers did not choose the kind of sports star who won the Olympic championship for Thailand, but a college princess, which is indeed ingenious.
