The flame of the National Games, which has been burning for 13 days, is slowly extinguished tonight in the night sky of the ancient city of Xi'an. As the first National Games to be held in the western region, the 14th National Games, with its surging vitality, distinctive characteristics, and the unique simplicity and enthusiasm of the people of Sanqin, continued to write a wonderful chapter for this classic event with a history of 62 years, leaving unforgettable memories for the Chinese people.
The National Games is a large-scale comprehensive sports event with the highest level and the widest degree of personnel participation in China. The National Games is not only the best stage for athletes to pursue the Olympic dream and realize the motto of "faster, higher, stronger - more united", but also a good opportunity to promote national sports and national fitness. The 14th National Games, attended by more than 12,000 athletes, is also the first major comprehensive sports event held in China under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, and it is also the comprehensive sports event with the highest specifications and level held before the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games. How to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control and present wonderful events has become an important issue for organizers. After 13 days of practice, we are pleased to see that the 14th Games not only overcame the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, but also opened up many new modes of running the games.

The 14th Games coincided with the rainy season in Shaanxi, which also added a different style to the National Games. In the rain, we saw the different splash marks of hockey and football, saw the "parkour" in the rain of marathon runners, and saw the full enthusiasm of the shaanxi people for the National Games.
On the field, we witnessed the rise of new projects, witnessed the wonderful competition in table tennis, swimming, diving and other sports, and witnessed the exciting moments when athletes continued to break through themselves and refresh their achievements.
The mass competition activities that began at the 13th Games increased by 59 sub-events this year, reaching a total of 185, and the finals of some mass competition activities were held after the opening ceremony, further expanding the influence of mass competition activities in the National Games system and enhancing the enthusiasm of the broad masses of the people for fitness.
Every breakthrough is pregnant with new life and growth, containing the future and hope. The National Games will not only provide a stage and support for the development of China's sports industry, but also serve as a powerful platform for promoting the fitness and health of the whole people, and provide strong support for China to build a sports power at an early date, which will make the bones and bones of Chinese sports stronger and the chinese nation more vigorous.
Tonight, with the flag of the National Games handed over to the representatives of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, the National Games will enter the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao time" - this will be the first time in the history of New China that the National Games will be jointly hosted by the three regions. Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have a tradition of sports exchanges, and the joint hosting of the National Games by the three places will surely bring the professional level of sports in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao to a new level, and will also help the people of the three places to embrace a healthy life.

The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a major decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping Standing at the historical intersection of the "two hundred years" goal, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have taken solid steps towards the construction of a world-class bay area and a world-class city cluster hand in hand.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian set out from Chang'an to the west, "countless bells passed over the moraine, and should be trained to Anxi", and the Great Silk Road began. Although the camel bell of the Silk Road is far away, the China-Europe train "Chang'an" is becoming more and more popular. As one of the regions with the highest degree of openness and the strongest economic vitality in China, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will provide more powerful support for the construction of the "Belt and Road".
Although the holy flame of quanyun is temporarily extinguished, the struggle will never end, and the struggle is still on the way. Let us pack our bags and march towards the 15th Games four years from now, write a new chapter of hard work in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and refresh new achievements in life.
As Cheng King-leung, acting head of the Sports Delegation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, extended an invitation to athletes across the country during the 14th Games: "In 2025, welcome to the Greater Bay Area. We will present a wonderful National Games. ”
Tonight, we bid farewell to Xi'an. At this moment, we meet in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. In 2025, we are not seen or scattered!
