Gold medalists from the Hangzhou Asian Games and Asian Para Games just scored a new trophy: custom-designed commemorative stamps! 🎉 Nine champion athletes, representing Team China and regions including Hong Kong, Macao, and Chinese Taipei, received the artistic honors in Beijing this week. The stamps celebrate their historic wins with a touch of traditional craftsmanship.
Each stamp was hand-carved by 220 artists from the legendary Xiling Seal Art Society—a 119-year-old Hangzhou institution known for its intricate stone engraving. Talk about blending ancient art with modern glory! 🌟 The designs honor all 693 champions, symbolizing how sports and culture unite across borders.
At the ceremony, China Media Group (CMG) leaders highlighted their tech-savvy role in broadcasting the Games globally in ultra-crisp 4K and 8K resolution. 📸💻 ‘Sports and culture are power-ups for each other,’ said CMG’s Xing Bo, proving that victory isn’t just about medals—it’s about legacy.
