The "Olympic Heavenly Troupe" has extensive exchanges and in-depth interaction with all walks of life in Hong Kong, and golden sentences and famous scenes appear frequently, which can really be described as a sense of intimacy and positive energy!

From 3 to 5 December, at the invitation of the Hong Kong SAR Government, 29 athletes and 3 coaches from the Mainland Athletes Delegation for the Tokyo Olympic Games visited Hong Kong as scheduled. The enthusiasm of the citizens was so high that tickets for several performances were hard to find. I am very excited, honored and proud to be able to participate in this wonderful "agreement" in person.

The lecture at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on the morning of the 5th attracted more than 1,000 members of the public to the scene, in addition to the university's college students, as well as primary and secondary school students and social people. Famous players Ma Long, Su Bingtian, Sun Yiwen, Lv Xiaojun, Cui Xiaotong and coach Wang Aimin told the story of their struggle to break through themselves and fight tenaciously, and the scene cheered continuously. Finally, the inspiring messages of the athletes pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Speaking in Cantonese, Su Bingtian specifically mentioned that the "Su Shen" in his mind is Su Huawei, a para track and field athlete in Hong Kong, China. He represented Hong Kong in 4 Paralympic Games, winning 6 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze, breaking world records. This speech is unforgettable, I think, Ah Tian is hoping to convey the belief of "never bowing to fate, fighting for the dream" to everyone.

Perhaps many people do not know that Ah Tian's identity during this visit to Hong Kong is different from that of other athletes, and the badge he wears reads "Teacher Su Bingtian". The reason for this arrangement is that he is also an associate professor at the School of Physical Education of Jinan University, and he was invited by hong Kong Athletics to teach in Hong Kong, and he has no reservations in technical exchanges. He cares about Hong Kong and wants to help Hong Kong athletes improve his intentions are very clear and respected by everyone.

Since the reversion, Hong Kong has organized a delegation to participate in every Olympic Games, and the Olympic arena has become a bright stage for "one country, two systems". At this summer's Tokyo Olympics, the Hong Kong team achieved the best record in history of 1 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze. As a member of the delegation, I directly attacked the whole game on the spot, witnessed the wonderful gold of Zhang Jialang after winning the first gold after the return, and was touched by the moment when the national table tennis and Hong Kong table tennis teams took the "family portrait"...
The HKSAR Government purchased the right to broadcast the Olympic Games, so that the public can watch the games on the street or in shopping malls. Regardless of the outcome of the competition, the athletes' uplifting spirit has brought a positive energy to the society. Sport has a unique charm of cohesive people's hearts, which has bridged differences to a certain extent and accelerated Hong Kong's return to the right track.

In fact, Hong Kong itself has a close "Olympic love affair" with the motherland. New China's return to the Olympic family and Beijing's two bids to host the Summer Olympics have all played an important role. The first stop of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Torch Relay was Hong Kong, and equestrian competitions were also held in Hong Kong. The four-yearly visit to Hong Kong for mainland Olympic athletes reflects the care of the motherland and allows Hong Kong citizens to see the style of national heroes.
The visit of the "Olympic Heavenly Group" will also help hong Kong people to enhance their feelings of home and country. I remember that as early as 1996, at the invitation of Mr. Fok Ying Tung, mainland Olympic athletes organized a delegation to visit Hong Kong for the first time. The size of the team was very large, and the Chinese women's volleyball players were tall and stylish, with a friendly smile and a friendly smile, which attracted a round of applause everywhere they went.

Every time I have the honor to participate in the athletes' visit to Hong Kong, I truly feel the progress of the motherland's sports cause, and the technical and training conditions of some sports projects have become the world's top. The Hong Kong table tennis team and badminton team often train in the mainland and have deep feelings with the national team and many provincial teams. The sports of the mainland and Hong Kong have developed together in close exchanges and mutual support, and the podium under the national anthem has shared the glory of the "national ball" shining olympic games, reflecting the blood and unity of Hong Kong and the motherland.

In more than a month, the world-renowned Beijing Winter Olympics will kick off, and Beijing will become the only "double Olympic city" in the world. According to the plan, I will participate in this international event in my capacity as Secretary General of the Winter Olympics delegation in Hong Kong, China. At present, the Hong Kong team has one short track speed skater and two alpine skiers have been given admission tickets, which is the largest number of participants in the past.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, I watched diving and swimming competitions at the Water Cube. This time, the "Water Cube" will transform into the "Ice Cube" and hold curling events. Such a magical "water to ice" is worth looking forward to, and I am more looking forward to the performance of the Chinese team and the Chinese Hong Kong team on the field. I think, with the support of 1.4 billion people, the Beijing Winter Olympics must be the most successful winter Olympic Games.

Since becoming President of the Hong Kong Judo Federation in the early 1990s, I have served the Hong Kong sports scene for over 30 years. After becoming the Volunteer Deputy Secretary-General of the Hong Kong Sports Association and Olympic Committee, I was able to seek development for Hong Kong sports at a higher level and broaden my horizons.
In 2025, the 15th National Games will be co-organized by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and we have begun to prepare for it. As far as I know, Hong Kong and Macao can give priority to the selection of competitions to be held, and the rest is the responsibility of Guangdong Province. This also reflects the country's love for Hong Kong.
Huang Baoji
In my opinion, the spirit of sports inspires and condenses the feelings of home and country. Every time our athletes stand on the field, they have a definite identity representative, and after winning the gold medal, they will definitely raise the national flag and play the national anthem. This kind of functionality is difficult to achieve in many other fields. In the historical process of Hong Kong's further integration into the overall situation of national development, sport has played an important role. In the future, I will, as always, be a good "paver", help more young people to perceive the motherland from sports, obtain positive energy, and inject the power of sports into the country's prosperity and national rejuvenation.
