Your excellent performance reminds me of an old saying of China: "If you want to win, you must win first. 」
The Hong Kong delegation returned home triumphantly with four gold medals, six silver medals, 1 1 bronze medals and 2 1 medals, setting a new record for Hong Kong's participation in the Asian Games. These achievements are achieved by defeating yourself first and then defeating your opponents.
In this Asian Games, we specially organized a delegation composed of representatives from various district councils to go to Busan to cheer for our athletes. The performance and achievements of Hong Kong athletes not only united the representatives of various districts at the scene, but also enhanced the cohesion of the general public watching on the screen.
I was particularly moved by one thing in this Asian Games. Li Lishan, our "Hou Feng", has been unwell during the competition, but she endured a lot of pain. Even under such circumstances, she continued to work hard and finally achieved the goal of defending her title. Fortunately, she seems to be all right now, and I am glad to have the opportunity to congratulate her in person today.
In addition, our excellent squash player Zhao Yongxian defeated her strong rivals, table tennis players yu zhang and Tieyana, with tenacious fighting spirit in the final, and even though she was 3-0 behind, she was able to win the gold medal for four consecutive games. I've been watching it and I'm very excited. I am proud of your efforts and that I am a Hong Kong person.
Although some athletes failed to win medals, they also showed the spirit of bravely meeting challenges and competing with strong players. I broke many records in many aspects, such as swimming. I know that the football team has also worked hard and achieved good results. In fact, glory comes not only from medals, but also from the experience of "I struggled".
Our athletes, with tenacious will, first beat themselves and then strive for good performance on the field, which is really worth learning from every Hong Kong citizen.
Sports can not only enhance physical fitness, but also tap potential, cultivate indomitable spirit, unite the public and consolidate social cohesion and centripetal force. Hong Kong athletes in Busan brought us not only the glory of winning prizes, but also spiritual encouragement and encouragement. As long as we all achieve "we must win first if we want to win", work hard in adversity, strive for self-improvement, and practice other people's skills as well as their will, Hong Kong's current difficulties will certainly be overcome as soon as possible.
