Look back at history
First, let's go back to the earliest days of Asian Heroes. The song was born in 1988, when Beijing hosted the 11th Asian Games. This sports event is not only an exchange between Asian countries, but also an important node in the history of China's reform and opening up.
China's reform and opening up
China's reform and opening up, which began in 1978, was a profound turning point in China's modern history. Deng Xiaoping is known as the chief architect of reform and opening up, and his decisions and firm convictions propelled China's progress towards modernization. Deng Xiaoping's open-door policy attracted foreign investment and technology that helped lift China out of poverty and isolation.
Deng Xiaoping's trip to the Asian Games Village
During the 1988 Asian Games in Beijing, Deng Xiaoping's family visited the Asian Games Village. With his low-key attitude and simple lifestyle, he deeply infected the people present. The visit not only demonstrated Deng Xiaoping's humility, but also sent a message to the world that the Chinese government supports sports and Asian solidarity.
A magnificent achievement in the construction of the Asian Games Village
The construction of the Asian Games Village has achieved amazing results. People from all walks of life across the country actively donated and supported, so that the Asian Games Village was completed in a very short time, providing a solid foundation for the holding of the Asian Games. This initiative reflects the unity of the Chinese people and their enthusiastic support for the Asian Games.
Deng Xiaoping's unwavering determination
Deng Xiaoping encouraged the holding of the Olympic Games, believing that it would help boost the national spirit and revitalize the economy. His firm determination and emphasis on sports have laid a solid foundation for the development of China's Olympic cause.
The significance of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games
The 1990 Beijing Asian Games marked a new starting point for China's sports industry. The construction of the Asian Games Village and Deng Xiaoping's visit marked a new beginning and laid the foundation for the development of Chinese cities.
Deng Xiaoping's reflections
Deng Xiaoping was deeply worried about the gap between the rich and the poor in China during a visit to Beijing. This issue became the focus of his thinking in his later years, and to a certain extent, it also influenced China's reform policy.
Deng Xiaoping's expectations
Deng Xiaoping wanted to get out and around more, see more places, and feel the changes in China. This sentence reflects his expectations for the country's development and his firm belief in reform and opening up.
