On the evening of July 28th, brilliant fireworks accompanied by a radiant glow lit the main line of the 31st Summer Universiade over the main stadium of Dong ‘an Lake in Chengdu: noble hibiscus, sincere welcome speech and simple Universiade emblem … … The young people all over the world’s exploration and pursuit of life and dreams make this "sunny" opening ceremony full of irresistible passion and vitality.
President’s top leaders attended the opening ceremony and announced the opening of the Universiade. This is a historic moment. China youth sent sincere and warm invitations to young people all over the world, and youth representatives from all over the world sang songs and gathered in Rongcheng. During the 12-day competition and life, young people will show the world their great strength in pursuing their dreams and future. They will write the history of youth in Chengdu, China, and they will be the masters of the next period of history.
Peace casts a community of destiny.
In the solemn and magnificent Peace — — With the music of "Community of Destiny", Renault Eide, the supreme leader of president and acting president of the International University Sports Federation, and other distinguished guests and friends entered the stadium one after another.
The garland of life will never fade, just as the light of human spirit will last forever. When mankind remembers the sufferings of the past, peace is the only way to the future, and the beautiful world of young people opens its doors here.
"Praise the Sunshine" presses the countdown alarm clock for the opening ceremony of the Universiade. The sun is the source of life on earth, and "sunshine" as the core element runs through the opening ceremony. Humans live in the global village, and history and reality constantly meet in time and space, colliding with a community of destiny in which you have me and I have you — — It is the common expectation of young people all over the world and people all over the world to let peace be passed down from generation to generation, let the motive force of development continue and let the light of civilization shine.
The "Sun Bird" spreads its wings and soars, and the countdown fireworks outline the petals of hibiscus. The national flag flew high and the national anthem resounded through the audience. The Yi girls in Daliangshan presented the song "The national flag is so beautiful", the children’s innocent smiles blended with the Universiade, and the gathering of young athletes was engraved in the children’s hearts. The youth chorus of 56 nationalities sang "Singing the Motherland", and the song rang from the center of the performance venue and became a chorus of the whole audience. This is the strong cohesion of "Singing the Motherland" and the strong cohesion of the motherland.
In the bright music of "Splendid Road", the protagonist of the Universiade appeared. Two college athletes led the China delegation as flag-bearers: the boy Hu Wozhuo is a volleyball player and Tsinghua University is studying undergraduate; Guo Hanyu, a girl student, is a tennis player and is studying in Southwest University. Similar experiences let them constantly convey to others the simple truth that "arranging time, learning and sports can promote each other" — — Athletes are no longer a closed and mysterious group on campus, but their fighting spirit and belief in resisting pressure are more admirable.
Colorful Shu embroidery develops with the footsteps of athletes, and colorful silk threads map the ancient Shu civilization, from ancient to new, which is a footnote for young athletes to be "stronger".
Chengdu builds a world youth exchange stage.
"Chengdu has set up a stage for college athletes from all over the world." President Renault Eide said: "They want to shine here and weave a beautiful story of friendship, understanding and peace together."
The road of Universiade is the road of youth growth and the road of national prosperity.
In 2001, the 21st Summer Universiade was held in Beijing Workers Stadium. This was the first time that China held a world-class comprehensive sports meeting, and it was also the first time that China held the Universiade. Young athletes from China showed high spirits, Liu Xiang, Li Na and Yao Ming emerged from their cocoons, and the world saw and felt the great potential contained in the young people from China. China, who played at home, shocked the world. The 26th Summer Universiade was held in Shenzhen in 2011. After the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China’s communication with the world has become closer. Young people in China have met the challenges in the sports arena with more confidence, while China has embraced the world with a more open attitude. Shenzhen Universiade has landed in a representative city of reform and opening up with the most people-friendly attitude, and the Universiade Village and venues have nurtured a group of students for Shenzhen universities. Now, the 31st Universiade is held in Chengdu, and the "Double Olympics Country" has enough confidence. The young people in China and the countries they represent hold their heads high and invite their competitors in a more comfortable and equal manner, and join hands to challenge the limits in the pursuit of fairness.
国际大体联会旗入场，两位运动员奋力奔跑展示肌肉线条与健康身姿，他们的脚步变成“火光”铺就“火焰大道”，从1959年至今历届大运会的会徽在“火焰大道”上闪现。这条荣耀之路无声致敬世界大学生运动会在积极推动体育运动发展、促进文化交流方面作出的巨大贡献。
与此同时，青年大学生合唱团优美的歌声响起，高唱大体联会歌，大体联会旗高高飘扬。
中华文明铭刻逐梦豪情
歌声美，成都更美。
金沙遗址的太阳神鸟始终盘旋在历史长河，在漫长的、以千年计的时间维度，三星堆阔额吊睛青铜大面具、国宝大熊猫的惹爱造型、川剧传世绝学“变脸”，都在《青春追梦》当中一一呈现。
“我用‘阳光灿烂’来形容这场开幕式，大运会是青年大学生的盛会，他们是早上八九点钟的太阳，充满朝气。”开幕式总导演陈维亚说：“我们的表演环节一秒钟都不浪费，我想让运动员看完开幕式就不想离开成都。”
In the following chapter of "Dream of Youth", the sun god bird in Jinsha Site roared endlessly, and the torch tower extending from the south axis of the stadium to the surface of Dongan Lake was inspired by the god bird. The 12 spiral curves of the tower implied that the god bird had 12 sunshine patterns, and the height of 31 meters echoed the 31st Summer Universiade.
"Torch during the Games, landmark after the Games", the Torch Tower of Shenbird will be located in Dongan Lake as a permanent building, which will retain the historical memory of the summer of 2023.
Shu Dao used to be difficult, but now it’s a natural barrier. At the end of the opening ceremony, 31 college students sang the theme song "Achieving Dreams", and the fireworks rose again.
The opening ceremony of Chengdu Universiade slowly kicked off the grand event in the most Chengdu and youthful way: the protagonist’s debut, the heart to win, the heart to fight hard, the unyielding heart and the heart to recover after encountering setbacks are always the most emotional hearts on the field, and young athletes should use their own ways to achieve their own dreams.
To achieve our dreams, youth is us; To achieve our dreams, the future is us; Youth sings with life, every corner of light up the world; Young people grow in the direction of light and eventually become light, to map the next light — — From this moment on, the Chengdu Universiade will engrave the joys and sorrows of youth representatives around the world on the road of growing up by dreams.
