1. The top priority for my country to enter the 1990s is the Asian Games. Perhaps for sports fans born in the 1990s and 2000s, the Asian Games and even the Olympics are nothing new. But for the older generation, especially those born in the 1980s, 
990 Beijing Asian Games is a special existence and an "exclusive memory" in life.

That was the first time my country held a large-scale comprehensive sports meeting after the founding of the People's Republic of China. On the one hand, because the Chinese team's performance in the 1988 Seoul Olympics was not satisfactory, we want to prove to the world that we Chinese will never give up; on the other hand, because mainstream media in Europe and the United States at that time were negative reports on China, reform and opening up were unprecedentedly challenged internationally. Under such circumstances, China really needed to use sports as a private diplomatic platform, and like table tennis diplomacy, to open up the situation, improve the surrounding environment, enhance national confidence, and gather the strength of the Chinese people. So that is not the Asian Games in Beijing, it is the Asian Games in China.

1990 On the afternoon of September 22, 1990, in the golden autumn season, the whole of Beijing became the focus of the world and a happy world. It was Saturday. Before three o'clock in the afternoon, people in the yard gathered in front of the TV, waiting for the opening of the Asian Games. Before the opening, the TV station sang "Same Song". Yes, it is the song sung at many evening parties today. This song was specially created for the Asian Games because the lyrics of "Sweet dreams, no one will miss it. Finally, welcoming this moment of gathering today." has a very good meaning, and is specially used as the opening song of the opening ceremony of the TV broadcast. The opening ceremony is explained by Luo Jing and Song Shixiong.

At 4 pm, under the traditional Chinese drum and bell music, the 11th Asian Games officially opened. After raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, more than 6,000 athletes and coaches from 37 Asian countries and regions took neat and powerful steps to enter the Beijing Workers' Stadium .

The Asian Games emblem and mascots appear on the streets and alleys and TV. They hold the gold medal with their left hand and like it with their right hand. They look forward to winning more gold medals, and they look forward to peace and friendship, which reflects the hospitality of the Chinese people. The squares, shops, parks, buses, and cigarette labels , pencil boxes, handkerchiefs, and refrigerator stickers are everywhere, which is much higher than Fuwa of the Beijing Olympics and Bingdundun of this Winter Olympics.

Asian Games since the start of preparations was a shortage of money. At that time, the national finance was still in difficulty, and the funding was still 600 million yuan short of funding. The Asian Organizing Committee specially established a "Fundraising Department" to sell television broadcasting rights, advertising investment, selling houses in the Gai Asian Games Village, issuing Asian Games lottery tickets, and establishing donation offices. The slogan at that time was "The people of the whole country are hosts", Everyone cares about the Asian Games, and everyone contributes to the Asian Games." News media such as television, radio, newspapers and other news media called on people across the country to donate and continuously broadcast touching stories of donations.
The first Asian Games donor Yan Haixia (right), participated in the Asian Games torch relay,
, includes Yan Haixia, the first donor to the Asian Games, who donated her 1.6 yuan New Year's money at the age of 12 in 1987, becoming a model for the country; Li Guixing, a 26-year-old farmer from the old revolutionary base Yimeng Mountain , took the 200 yuan saved by his family, wading through mountains and rivers, gnawing steamed buns and drinking cold water, and walking 17 days to Beijing to Beijing to send the donation to the Asian Organizing Committee, which moved the people of the whole country; Zhang Baifa, then deputy mayor of Beijing, also gave speeches everywhere to raise funds for the Asian Games, and "Have you donated today" became a popular saying at the time. The old crosstalk master Hou Baolin raised 10,000 yuan in national tour; Hong Kong singer Zhang Mingmin held a national concert, raising 600,000 yuan, which is truly worthy of "my Chinese heart"; the National Self-employed Association donated 20.5 million yuan to build the gymnasium located in Muxiyuan ; Hong Kong wealthy businessman Mr. Ho Ying-tung donated 100 million yuan to build the Ying-tung swimming pool named after him, which was a real red businessman. In the end, nearly 200 million people donated 700 million yuan in money and goods, including 270 million yuan. The Asian Organizing Committee raised 430 million yuan through fund lottery tickets, laying the material foundation for the successful holding of the Asian Games. The whole nation will contribute to the Asian Games by comparing work and enthusiasm.

One Asian Games propaganda song will be heard throughout China. At that time, the Asian Organizing Committee produced 10 propaganda songs.

sings are the hottest Fan Linlin 's " Black hair floats up ": "We grow up in this world, the eastern continent of Asia's sea, 3.3 billion brothers and sisters, shining with black hair, we meet on the green field", compares the whole Asia to a big family with black hair;

Another song has a huge influence. At that time, units, schools, and street offices had to organize rehearsals in a unified manner. It was " Asian Thrilling " sang by Liu Huan and Wei Wei . Many people thought it was a song, but in fact it was also a promotional song. It was called "a song that was not a song", which really pushed the enthusiasm of the Asian Games to its peak. Liu Huanshi became famous all over the country for "Youth Ambitions Not Says Sorrow", while Wei Wei was also a household name for her song "The Dedication of Love", and she deserved the reputation of singing by the two powerful singers.
Liu Huan and Wei Wei Great Wall Story
This song completely transcends the category of sports songs and can even be called the national symphony at that time. The song is high-pitched and excited, and contains the spirit of unity, hard work and courage. It shows the strong self-confidence of the Chinese nation and the national cohesion of the beautiful scenery of Asia and the deep friendship between the people of all countries. It not only had a profound impact in China, but also spread throughout Asia and became a common song for the entire Asian people. "We in Asia, mountains are high heads; we in Asia, rivers are like blood flowing... The wilderness entangles jade belts, and the fields weave colorful silks; the Asian wind suddenly rises, and the Asian wind shakes the sky." melodies are exciting and progressive, the language is concise and concise, the lyrics are heroic and catchy, and the rhetorical techniques such as metaphor, personification, and looping are progressive layer by layer, and the singing is magnificent, and the pride comes naturally.
At that time, I often sang the "Asian Bomber" as "Asian Bomber", and I think Asian Bombers are really amazing! I remember that the teacher told us in class that we all must love our motherland and contribute to the Asian Games. First of all, we must study hard, exercise our bodies, and win glory for the country like those athletes when we grow up; secondly, we must learn to sing "Asian Spirit". The more we sing this song, the louder the voice, the greater the contribution it has to make to the Asian Games. Therefore, the students are very excited to learn to sing; secondly, there are difficulties in the Asian Games now. Each of us can only donate a few cents, and the Asian Games will be successful, but you cannot ask parents for this money. You have to find a way to earn extracurricular time. So after school, I went to the street to pick up beer bottles, cans, , waste paper, and scrap iron, and sold them to the purchase station and raised two dollars to hand them over to the school. The teacher said that these two dollars are a bit too much for you, so you donate one, buy a Asian Games lottery ticket for the rest, and also sent you a panda Panpan small handkerchief as a souvenir. It doesn’t matter whether you win or not, they are all contributing to the Asian Games.

The idea of buying lottery tickets is exactly the opposite. At that time, I thought that I must not win the lottery. The country is so difficult, how can I still ask for the country’s money? Finally, when I opened the lottery ticket, I saw "Thank you for supporting the Asian Games", I jumped up happily.

There is such a children's movie " My September ", which may better reflect the scene at that time: elementary school students rehearsed for more than a year for the opening ceremony group martial arts exercises ;

In order to support the Asian Games, An Jianjun saved all his breakfast money and bought lottery tickets;

Liu Qinglai failed to participate in group martial arts exercises for some reason. His family said next time, and he cried and said, "Where is next time." Yes, Beijing will have many more events in the years to come, including the Olympics, Paralympics, and Winter Olympics. The scale is getting bigger and bigger and deeper, but the Beijing Asian Games only has one. It is a special symbol of that era. If you miss it, it will be gone and it can only become a regret for a lifetime. The athletes won gold and silver at the stadium, and we shouted in front of the TV. The most common thing people meet and ask is "Today China won a few more gold medals." At that time, she was attracted by a 17-year-old female table tennis player. She played so well and finally won 3 gold and 1 silver. She is today called the queen of table tennis - Deng Yaping .

eventually ranked first in the gold medal list and medal list, making my country truly embark on the road to a sports power and a sports power now. At this sports event, in addition to Chinese sports athletes, we also have the ability to organize competitions. The hospitality of the Chinese people has also infected the people of every Asian country. Taking this as an opportunity, it promoted the process of Beijing Olympic bid for . "The Asian Games are successful, everyone is looking forward to the Olympics" became the voice of the Chinese people at that time.
embarked on the Olympic journey
"Beijing Welcomes You" appeared at this time and gradually became a slogan for China's Olympic bid. It was also promoted in the 008 Beijing Olympics , which made the song " Beijing Welcomes You " spread all over the world.
That is, after "Asian Throne", Liu Huan and Wei Wei's singing career continued to move forward and reached its peak. Liu Huan then continued to perform classic songs: in 1993, he composed and sang the theme song "Thousands of Questions" for "Beijing People in New York"; in 1997, he performed the ending song " Heroes Song " for the TV series " Water Margin "; in 1998, he sang a song " Start from Start " specifically for laid-off workers, encouraging laid-off workers to build confidence and pluck the courage to re-employ, and became a very inspiring song; in 2001, he sang the theme song of the 9th National Games "Seeing the Rainbow Again" with Mao Amin ; on August 8, 2008, he sang " Me and You " with Sarah Brightman , echoing for a long time over the bird's nest; in recent years, he has served as a music instructor on many variety shows.

Wei Wei's voice is high-pitched, strong penetrating, thick chest roar, loud sound pressure, and the sound quality has a sense of echo, so it is very suitable for singing at sports meets. After "Asian Thrills", Wei Wei became the real "sports queen". In 1993, he sang the theme song of the 7th Plenary Games "Five Stars Inviting Five Rings" and the theme song of the first East Asian Games "Rise East Asia"; in 1997, he collaborated with Liu Huan again for the theme song of the Eighth Games "Life Flying"; in 1999, he sang the song of the Nine Winter Games "Huh Spring"; in 1999, he sang the song of the Nine Winter Games "Hugging Spring"; in 1999, he sang the theme song of "Hugging the Times Cheer for Us " with Cai Guoqing ; in 11th Games, Lei Yan sang the theme song of "Together, Wonderful"; in 010 Guangzhou Asian Games Wei Wei joined hands with Tan Jing, Joey Yung , Tao Zhe , Jin Xianzhong sang the theme song of the opening ceremony " Sunrise Oriental ".
2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, Wei Wei and others sang the theme song
Because she has good English skills and her singing style is close to that of European and American singers, she has been invited to sing at international sports events many times: the closing ceremony of the 1993 East Asian Games Wei Wei and Julio sang the theme song "Dove"; 994 Hiroshima Asian Games participated in the art performance; in 1996, she was selected as the opening ceremony guest by the Atlanta Olympics in the United States, held a special concert on behalf of Asia during the Olympics, and completed the new song "Go girl" at the Camp Nou Stadium of Barcelona football team in 2007. The first half of the go" MV was recorded; I have also held many concerts abroad and are called "the singer who talks with the world" by foreign media and "China's Celine Dion ".
From the 1990 Beijing Asian Games to the 022 Hangzhou Asian Games (has been postponed), our great motherland has gone through more than 30 years of ups and downs. The Asian Games no longer require the efforts of the whole country. The fiscal and economics of a province are enough to support it, witnessing the country's step by step towards prosperity and strength, and its status as a great country is outstanding.
Panpan, Fuwa, Bingdundun
32 years, Beijing has witnessed miracles from the Asian Games City, to the Olympic City, and then to the Double Olympic City, from Panda Panpan, Five Fuwa, and then to Bingdundun, the national spirit has been passed down from generation to generation.
