If you have any stories about the Asian Games, please send me a few. Thank you.

The Asian Games, the full name of the Asian Games, is a regional large-scale comprehensive sports event recognized by the International Olympic Committee and hosted by the Asian Olympic Council (Olympic Council of Asia). It is not only the largest and highest-level comprehensive sports meeting in Asia, but also represents the level of sports in Asia as a whole. The predecessors of the Asian Games were the Far Eastern Games and the West Asian Games. It is held every 4 years, alternately with the Olympic Games, and lasts for 16 days. The 1st Asian Games was originally scheduled to be held in New Delhi, India, in February 1949. For some reasons, it was postponed to 1951 and was held for the 13th time in 2001.

Most of the Asian Games events are Olympic Games events, but they do not have strict regulations like the Olympic Games. In addition to some widely carried out sports, such as track and field, swimming, basketball, volleyball, football, etc., which must be included in each session, the host country can make appropriate selections based on its own conditions and sports skills.

In 1912, the "Far East Sports Association" was established through the initiative of American officers in the YMCAs of China, Japan, and the Philippines. In 1913, the first Far Eastern Games was held in Manila, Philippines. By 1934, the Far Eastern Games had been held for 10 times. Initially, it was held every 2 years. Later, it was held in conjunction with the Olympic Games, and was changed to one every four years from the 8th session in 1927. At the beginning, only China, Japan, and the Philippines participated. Since the ninth session, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam have also joined.

The Far Eastern Games consisted of seven events: track and field, swimming, football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and volleyball. At that time, it represented the highest level of competitive sports in Asia and contributed to the development of early sports in Asia. made a positive contribution. China has won nine Far Eastern Games football championships. In 1934, because Japan invaded China and insisted on including its so-called "Manchukuo" in the Far Eastern Games, China announced its withdrawal from the Far Eastern Games. After that, the Far Eastern Sports Association declared its disintegration due to China's withdrawal, and the Far Eastern Games also disappeared.

In 1934, with the financing of Indian sports leader Dr. Guru Sandy, the first West Asian Games was held in New Delhi. The participating countries were India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Afghanistan and Pakistan. There are hockey, basketball, track and field and other projects. The Second West Asian Games, originally scheduled to be held in Pakistan four years later, was canceled due to the outbreak of World War II. After the end of the Second World War, the people of various Asian countries were eager to maintain a peaceful environment and promote unity, friendship and cultural exchanges among people of various countries and regions, and their desire to participate in international sports competitions was very urgent.

During the 14th Olympic Games in London in July 1948, sports people from China and the Philippines had frequent contacts, planning to resume the Far East Games, and invited Asian countries participating in the Olympics to discuss it. Guru Sandy, Indian member of the International Olympic Committee and Indian sports leader, believes that simply reviving the Far Eastern Games is not enough to reflect the sports level and spirit of unity across Asia, and advocates the creation of an intercontinental games that includes all Asian countries - the Asian Games. To this end, he visited the sports delegations from Asian countries that came to London to participate in the Olympic Games, and invited representatives from 13 countries and regions including China, South Korea, and the Philippines to hold the first preparatory meeting for the establishment of the Asian Games Federation. The meeting discussed and approved India's proposal for the establishment of the Asian Games Federation, and recommended the four governments of China, South Korea, India and the Philippines to jointly draft relevant documents and charters for the Asian Games. It was also decided at the meeting that the first Asian Games would be held in New Delhi, India, in February 1949. Later, due to domestic reasons in India, the games could not be held as scheduled.

On February 12-13, 1949, India invited representatives of national sports organizations from the Philippines, Myanmar, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Thailand and other countries to meet in New Delhi, the capital of India. At the meeting, the establishment of the "Asian Games Federation" was announced. Council" (renamed "Asian Olympic Council" after 1982), and formally adopted a charter drafted by China, India, the Philippines and South Korea. Representatives from India, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Pakistan and the Philippines who attended the meeting immediately signed to join the meeting and became basic members of the Asian Games Confederation.

All delegates unanimously agreed to adopt "Ever onward" as the slogan of the Asian Games. The meeting elected Singh of India as chairman and Vergas of the Philippines as vice-chairman. The meeting decided that the Asian Games, which will be held every four years, will be held between the two Olympic Games, and stipulated that the competition time will be 12-16 days and there will be 20 events. The host country can increase or decrease the events as appropriate, but generally there will be no less than 11 events, track and field, swimming and art exhibitions are required items and content. The meeting also decided that the 1st Asian Games would be held in New Delhi, India in 1950. Dr. Sandy of India is known as the "Father of the Asian Games" as the main sponsor of the Asian Games.

The Asian Games Federation is basically modeled after the International Olympic Committee. The International Olympic Committee recognizes the Asian Games as an official sports event in Asia. The mission of the Asian Games Federation is to hold the Asian Games and Winter Asian Games as scheduled. The Asian Games Federation was reorganized into the Olympic Council of Asia (referred to as the Olympic Council of Asia) during the 9th Asian Games in 1982.

Panda Panpan was the mascot of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games. When Beijing hosted the 11th Asian Games in 1990, the panda Panpan was selected as the mascot. Its naive image accompanied by Liu Huan's high-pitched singing swept Asia. During the Asian Games, the image of Panpan, holding a gold medal as if running, appeared in the media almost every day, and it was also deeply imprinted in the minds of the Chinese people. The original Panpan was born in Sichuan. In 1984, bamboos bloomed on a large scale in the panda reserve in Sichuan Province, and the pandas encountered a food crisis. Panpan was only 4 years old at the time. When he was hungry, he drifted in a small river in Basigou, Baoxing County. , was discovered by a farmer and saved, and was once named "Buzz". In 1990, "Basi" went to Beijing to participate in related activities of the 11th Asian Games at the invitation of the Asian Games Organizing Committee. Since then, he has transformed into Panpan, the mascot of the Asian Games and is famous all over the world.

[Edit this paragraph] Reason

Panpan’s scientific name is Bass. He comes from Basgou, Baoxing County, Sichuan. He was born in Sichuan in 1980. In 1984, when "Panpan" was 3 years old, Basigou encountered a bamboo bloom that had not been seen in 60 years. "Panpan" almost fainted from hunger. When she was looking for food, she was washed into the river by the flood. While drifting, "Panpan" "Hope" survived the catastrophe and was rescued by a local peasant woman. Later, with the approval of the State Council, he was sent to the Fuzhou Giant Panda Research Center (Fuzhou Panda World) and is still the "Panda Star" in Fuzhou.

“Pan Pan” is a well-known panda star at home and abroad. She once visited the United States for half a year on behalf of the China Wildlife Conservation Association and caused a sensation on the West Coast of the United States. Local citizens queued for 5 hours and could only see her for 3 minutes. Panda Panpan was the mascot of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games. The cute and amiable image of that year really became popular with the Asian hero trend. As the largest intercontinental comprehensive sports event hosted by China at that time, the scene of the 1990 Asian Games is still talked about by many people who have been there.

[Edit this paragraph] Fertility

The China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas in Wolong, Sichuan is the largest captive breeding research base for giant pandas in China. There is a "hero mother" in the conservation center - giant panda Panpan. Her breeding achievements are outstanding and she has left many offspring.

"Pan Pan" is a "heroic father". He has more than a dozen "children", and there are as many as 30 giant pandas related to him by blood.

In 1996, "Pan Pan"'s daughter "Bai Yun" and another giant panda "Shi Shi" came to the San Diego Zoo in the United States as a "couple" and gave birth to a female giant panda "Hua Mei" . Since then, "Bai Yun" and giant panda "Gao Gao" have given birth to three more cubs. Among giant pandas in the United States, "Bai Yun" and "Gao Gao" give birth to the most cubs. In 2004, "Huamei" returned to live in her motherland and gave birth to three sets of twins.

After "Panpan" retired from breeding, she has been to exhibitions in many places in China, bringing joy to friends who love giant pandas.

[Edit this paragraph] Story

The choice of the national treasure panda as the mascot of the Asian Games was a huge success at the time. Its naive image not only conquered the people of the country, but also Panda Panpan has won the favor of all Asians, and a Panpan wind that represents China has even spread around the world. Panpan helps more people realize the new look of China after more than ten years of reform and opening up. During the Asian Games, the image of Panpan, holding a gold medal as if running, appeared in newspapers and TV stations across the country almost every day, and it was also deeply imprinted in the minds of most Chinese people.

Speaking of Panda Panpan, in April 2005, Panpan, the prototype, spent his 25th birthday in Guangdong. If you want to trace her life experience, there are quite a few twists and turns. In 1984, bamboo bloomed on a large scale in the panda reserve in Sichuan Province, resulting in a food crisis for pandas because they could not eat bamboo. Panpan was only 4 years old at the time. He was drifting in a small river in Basigou, Baoxing County due to hunger. He was found by a farmer and rescued. He was named "Bas" for a time. In 1990, Bas was invited by the Asian Games Organizing Committee to go to Beijing to participate in activities related to the 11th Asian Games. Since then, he has become the mascot of the Asian Games and has become famous around the world.

[Edit this paragraph] 100th birthday

The age ratio between giant pandas and humans is 1:4, so on April 25, 2005, Panpan celebrated its 100th birthday Birthday. Panpan's "palace" located in Changlu Farm is surrounded by a strong festive atmosphere. The walls around the "palace" were covered with messages wishing Panpan a happy birthday, and a giant birthday cake picture enhanced the atmosphere to the extreme.

In order to allow more people to send birthday wishes to Panpan, Changlu Farm allows visitors to visit Panpan for free. Panpan looked at everyone quietly amid the tourists' blessings, and walked around from time to time, as if thanking everyone who cared about it. According to statistics from Changlu Farm, nearly 2,000 people, including volunteers, tourists and people related to panda Panpan’s play, witnessed this important day in Panpan’s life. According to Chen Yucun, director of the Fuzhou Giant Panda Research Center, this is the first time for Panpan, who is now over 60 years old, to have such a grand birthday, so Panpan's trip to Foshan is of great significance.

Panpan was escorted by a police car to Changlu Farm on February 1, 2005, and spent more than 80 days in Foshan City. In the past three months, General Panpan has received nearly 30,000 tourists. Since Changlu Farm promised to donate all the tickets received to the Giant Panda Research Center, during this period, Panpan has received They "earned" nearly 400,000 yuan for their base.

[Edit this paragraph] Contribution

Panpan has also made considerable contributions in scientific research. In 1998, it donated somatic cells to the formation of early embryos for xenogeneic cloned giant pandas. This innovative achievement was selected by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering as one of China's top ten scientific and technological advances in 1999. In 2001, it was discovered that it suffered from high blood pressure. In 2002, the Fuzhou Giant Panda Research Center successfully performed cataract removal surgery on it. Now 25 years old, Panpan still receives a warm welcome wherever he goes. The image of the panda is also very likely to appear again as the mascot of the Beijing Olympics. I think Panpan will be in the limelight again by then. When Beijing hosted the 11th Asian Games in 1990, the panda Panpan was selected as the mascot. Its naive image accompanied by Liu Huan's high-pitched singing swept Asia. During the Asian Games, the image of Panpan, holding a gold medal as if running, appeared in the media almost every day, and it was also deeply imprinted in the minds of the Chinese people.

In 1990, "Panpan" went to Beijing to participate in related activities of the 11th Asian Games at the invitation of the Asian Games Organizing Committee. Since then, Panpan has become the mascot of the Asian Games and is famous all over the world.
