History just got greener! 🎋 The 'Zhumeng' torch for the 2025 World Games in Chengdu was revealed Thursday, blending ancient Shu civilization vibes with sleek modern design. Standing at 72cm, this bamboo-inspired masterpiece draws from the iconic Sanxingdui Bronze Standing Figure—think *Indiana Jones* meets Olympic spirit!
Named 'Bamboo Dream,' the torch merges green (🌱 symbolizing nature) and silver (✨ repping tech innovation) to shoutout China's eco-friendly goals and futuristic vision. Organizers say it’s a 'bridge between 5,000 years of culture and tomorrow’s possibilities.' Talk about a glow-up!
Mark your calendars: The Games kick off August 7-17, 2025, with torch relays rallying under the slogan 'Join the World Games, Ignite the Dream.' Chengdu’s ready to show how tradition and tomorrow can torch… together. 🔥
