The Hong Kong promotion event for the first anniversary of the countdown to the 12th World Games in 2025 was held in Hong Kong on the afternoon of the 7th.
On the eve of the event, when Fok Qi-gang, vice president of the Hong Kong Sports Association and Olympic Committee, visited the Chengdu-specific exhibition area arranged on site, he was deeply attracted by the exquisite bamboo tea sets, bamboo giant pandas and bamboo corsages.
Seeing Huo Qigang’s interest, Yang Longmei, the representative inheritor of Sichuan Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage and the new generation intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Daoming Bamboo Weaving, took out two hibiscus corsages and handed them to Huo Qigang. "I know you, I've seen you on TV, and I give this to you. This is the hibiscus flower, the city flower of Chengdu, woven from intangible cultural heritage bamboo. It can be worn as a brooch on your chest."
"Is this for me?" Huo Qigang asked in surprise. "Yes, yes, please give it to Jingjing, it suits her very well!" Yang Longmei nodded in response. Huo Qigang readily accepted and promised to transfer this Chengdu heart to his wife Guo Jingjing.
Later, Huo Qigang came to the Sichuan embroidery site and watched Meng Dezhi, a national-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor, embroidery on-site. Seeing Huo Qigang, Meng Dezhi took out the gift box he had prepared early. "This is the Sichuan embroidery silk scarf I gave to Jingjing. I like her so much. I hope you like it!"
Receiving "Jingjing's gift" again, Huo Qigang was very happy. He gestured at his neck with a smile and said, "This silk scarf I won’t wear the scarf anymore. Jingjing is in Paris now. I will definitely hand it over to you! "
" "This scarf was specially embroidered for Guo Jingjing in advance. I hope to promote Chengdu’s intangible cultural heritage through this gift, and I also hope that Jingjing will give it to you." You can wear this silk scarf and feel the charm of our Shu embroidery, and have the opportunity to visit Chengdu,” said Meng Dezhi.
