Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 20 (Reporter Lu Yuchen, Zhou Xin, Li Jia) About 230 athletes, coaches and staff members of the national swimming team, the national diving team, the national synchronized swimming team and the national gymnastics team visited the National Center for the Performing Arts on the 20th.
The visit was organized by the Competition and Sports Department of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, and the team visited the North Underwater Corridor, West Exhibition Hall, Olive Hall, ** Hall, Opera House and other areas of the Grand Theater. NCPA staff gave a detailed introduction to the functions and design concepts of each area, and explained the stories behind the many art collections.
Today can be said to be an exchange between the 'national teams'. You are the national sports team, and the Grand Theatre is the 'national team' in the field of performing arts. The in-depth exchange between the 'two national teams' is of great significance. Wang Ning, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and President of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, said in his welcome speech. Zhou Jinqiang, member of the party group and deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, affirmed this and invited the National Centre for the Performing Arts to pay a return visit.
After the visit, the athlete delegation came to the small theater to enjoy the classic ** fragments performed by the opera singers of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. In familiar songs such as "A Cup of Wine" and "Red Star Follows Me to Fight", the atmosphere of the audience reached its peak.
Chang Cheng, deputy director of the Gymnastics Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of China, said that the National Centre for the Performing Arts is not only an important national cultural platform, but also a vivid epitome of China's great achievements in cultural construction. This visit is an important cultural edification and spiritual adjustment of the team during the intense preparation for the Paris Olympic Games, and I hope that everyone can enhance cultural self-confidence, broaden artistic horizons, and show a more beautiful image of Chinese athletes in the international arena in the future.
At the exhibition of contemporary oil paintings between China and Spain in the West Exhibition Hall, Zou Jingyuan, the "King of Parallel Bars", was quite shocked. In his opinion, behind each painting is the artist's own story, which is worth savoring. He hopes that through this visit and exchange, he will enhance his artistic understanding, make his heart richer and fuller, and thus be more calm on the field.
Zhang Xiaohuan, head coach of the synchronized swimming team, introduced that the flower swimming team often goes to the National Center for the Performing Arts to study and Xi to improve artistic appreciation and expression. "What impressed me the most was the modern dance drama "Water Question", from which I learned a lot. However, recently, the excellent performances of the National Centre for the Performing Arts have been too hot, and I regret that I have missed many wonderful programs. It is hoped that in the future, excellent literary and artistic works can be integrated into the design and creation of Huayou works, and the expressiveness of China's excellent culture can be shown to the world stage. ”
"The most impressive thing for Zhang Yufei is the National Centre for the Performing Arts Exhibition, and he understands the development process of the Grand Theatre and the history of the motherland, which makes Zhang Yufei feel very proud. "I once came to the Grand Theatre in 2014 to listen to the symphony, and I hope that in the future, I can use more artistic influence to calm my temperament and study my training carefully, which will be more beneficial to my sports career. ”
Wang Zongyuan, the leader of the new generation of men's springboarding, walked into the National Centre for the Performing Arts for the first time.
