In the early summer, when the weather was fine, the opening ceremony of the event began with the solemn singing of the national anthem. In his speech, President of CUPL Ma Huaide extended his sincere wishes to all the participating athletes and expressed his heartfelt thanks to the teachers and students for ensuring the smooth running of the event. He said that this activity was held to establish the concept of “health first”, to guide the majority of teachers and students to actively participate in physical exercise, and to call on all CUPLer to enhance physical and psychological fitness through physical exercise.
