After the incident, the relevant leaders of Wangcheng Park quickly found a site for the grandparents to dance here, but was rejected. Mr. Han, a representative of the square dance group, said, "The site is not level, there is a big steep slope, these old people are not very convenient."
The status quo is that the incident of the basketball court has been temporarily closed, both the basketball team or square dance group, do not know what to do, there is no further communication between the two sides. Mr. Cheng, a representative of the basketball team, said: "Several friends over here go to several nearby venues that charge fees to play, but national fitness can't all go to places that charge fees. It's fine if the grandparents want to come and dance, as long as it's staggered with the time we're playing, because it belongs to a public **** facility after all."
In the opinion of Cheng Jinfa, deputy director of Wangcheng Park, both the basketball team and the square dance troupe need to make some concessions each to reach an agreement. Yang Hongshan, a professor at Renmin University of China's School of Public **** Management, is of the view that "in the absence of contradictions, resources should be ****enjoyed. But now the contradiction is significant, specialized basketball courts, its professional function should be given priority." Yang Hongshan emphasized that the most important thing at this stage is for both sides to sit down and negotiate.
Mr. Cheng, a representative of the basketball team, said, "Since I graduated from college, I've been playing at this venue for 6-7 years, and this venue (has existed) for at least 10 years. I recently got off work at 6:00 and then played until a little after 7:00 and then left. The basketball court is not a square, you have to have a basket to play basketball. When they (square dance groups) come, we definitely have to go. If the basketball flies a little bit and flies on them, it's definitely our business. I haven't argued with them before. The aunt who plays badminton, last year, also argued with them for a week straight without resolution. In the end, the badminton player compromised, no way. You can't beat them, you can't argue with them."
Square dance group representative Mr. Han said: "Initially in the park above a small place, I dance alone, slowly more and more people. In fact, the stadium is people do not play, we are there to dance. After reaching more than 500 people it was divided into several teams, there was not a very big place, and several teams were divided out."
Bai Yansong, a famous CCTV commentator, said, "This incident has now evolved into a conflict between the elderly and the youth, which in my opinion should actually not be the case at all. It should be a conflict between different needs and different sports people for limited venues as we move forward."
