Get ready to be wowed! 🎉 The torch for China’s 15th National Games, along with the National Para Games and Special Olympics, made its grand debut in Shenzhen this weekend. Dubbed ‘Blossom’, this fiery symbol blends culture, tech, and unity in one sleek design. Let’s break it down! 🔍
Designed by He Ye, the torch fuses the Lingnan cultural heritage of Guangdong, Hong Kong SAR, and Macao SAR. Think of it as a love letter to the Greater Bay Area 🌊—its flame nozzle mimics waves from the event’s emblem, while Guangdong’s kapok, Hong Kong’s bauhinia, and Macao’s lotus intertwine like besties at a festival. 🎪
Standing at 76cm and weighing 1.6kg, this golden beauty isn’t just eye candy. Its 3D-printed stainless steel body and peony-patterned base scream ‘fusion and glory’—a nod to shared prosperity. 💫 Plus, the victory ceremony music? A remix of the classic ‘Color Clouds Chasing the Moon’! 🎶
And let’s talk fashion! 👗 The podium outfits rock a modern twist on the mamianqun (horse-faced skirt), with pink hues and a Yue-embroidered peony. Medals? They’re all about ‘United Warmth’—perfect for the November 9-21 Games, co-hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. 🏅
Mark your calendars—this is one cultural-sporting mashup you won’t want to miss! 📅✨
