“Morocco!” “Kazakhstan!” “Zimbabwe!” On the afternoon of August 17, a group of international students gathered at the city sports center to create a short video. They took turns stepping in front of the camera, proudly stating the names of their home countries. As the video concluded, the camera shifted to the emblem of the Hangzhou Asian Games displayed on the venue wall. With enthusiasm, they exclaimed, “Welcome to Jinhua!”

They are international students from Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics. This time, they have joined the “Asian Games Global Tour” as part of the “Riding the Asian Games Wave to Explore Zhejiang” online event. They have come to Jinhua to visit the Asian Games venues and get an early feel for the vibrant Asian Games atmosphere in Jinhua.

As the international students arrived at the city sports center’s gymnasium and saw the sign ahead, one of them couldn’t contain their excitement and exclaimed, “Sepaktakraw!” Seeing the puzzled looks from the others, he explained the Sepaktakraw sport in English, pointing proudly to his country’s team on the sign. This enthusiastic student is Xue Jiaxing from Indonesia, who came to China to study two months ago due to his fascination with Chinese culture.

Xue Jiaxing explained that Sepaktakraw is a widely popular sport in Indonesia, with almost everyone watching Sepaktakraw matches. During his visit to Jinhua’s Asian Games venue, he discovered that his country’s team would be competing here in a little over a month, which filled him with excitement. He mentioned that in Indonesia, people often associate China with big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, but they don’t know much about Jinhua. However, he believes that through this Asian Games event, more Indonesians will become familiar with Jinhua. He enthusiastically said, “There will be a Sepaktakraw competition here, and I want to introduce it to my family and friends!” (By Fang Jing)

“Morocco！”“Kazakhstan！”“Zimbabwe！”……8月17日下午，在市体育中心，几个肤色各异的外国留学生正在拍摄一段短视频，他们交替走到镜头前，分别报出自己国家的名称，最后镜头转向场馆内墙上的杭州亚运会会徽“潮涌”，他们大声喊出：“Welcome to JinHua！”

他们是来自浙江财经大学的留学生，这次跟随着“亚运寰游记”——乘风亚运看浙江网络传播活动来到我市，参观亚运场馆，提前感受金华浓厚的亚运氛围。

当留学生们走到市体育中心体育馆，看到面前的导览牌时，一名留学生兴奋喊道：“Sepaktakraw！”面对其他人的疑惑，他用英语详细介绍了藤球项目，并指着牌子上自己国家的队伍，一脸自豪。他是来自印度尼西亚的薛家兴，因为对中国文化感兴趣，两个月前来到中国留学。

薛家兴介绍，藤球在印度尼西亚是一项受众非常广泛的体育项目，几乎人人都会看藤球比赛。这次来到金华的亚运场馆参观，并且了解到自己国家的队伍一个多月后将在这里比赛，他非常高兴。他说，在印度尼西亚，大家谈起中国时会想到北京、上海等大城市，对金华并不算了解。但他相信，通过这次亚运会，会有更多印度尼西亚人了解金华。“这里将举办藤球比赛，我要向家人朋友介绍它！”他说。（记者 方璟 郑宇恒）
