What does the emblem of the 9 Asian Games mean?

Moral: In the emblem of the 11th Beijing Asian Games, in addition to the sunlight in the emblem of the Olympic Council of Asia, the majestic Great Wall forms the word "A". The Great Wall is a symbol of China's ancient civilization, and "A" is the abbreviation of English Asia. The combination of the two represents that the Asian Games held in Beijing will become a link to unite the people of Asian countries. The Great Wall pattern also forms the character Ⅶ, indicating that this Asian Games is the 11th.

Extended information:

The 11th Asian Games was held in Beijing, China from September 22nd to October 7th, 199. This is the first comprehensive international sports competition held in China, and 6,578 people from sports delegations from 37 countries and regions that are members of the Olympic Council of Asia participated in this Asian Games. China sent 636 athletes to participate in all 27 events and 2 performance events. After 12 years, China and Taipei returned to the Asian Games family as a team from a region in China. Shortly before the opening of the Asian Games, Prince Fahd of Kuwait, the chairman of the OCA who made great efforts for China's successful bid to host the Asian Games, died in the Gulf War that broke out in August, which became the biggest regret of the Asian Games.

The mascot of this Asian Games is the giant panda in China, named Panpan, which was designed by Liu Zhongren, an art designer from changchun film studio and now a national first-class artist, based on the panda Bath in Fuzhou Panda Pavilion. Named "Panpan", it means looking forward to peace, friendship and outstanding achievements. In order to avoid misunderstanding, domestic newspapers issued a statement at that time, saying that our panda "Panpan" was a male giant panda, which was the first time that the relevant institutions had designated "sex" for the mascot "Panpan".
