Asian Games fans feel disappointed as the Asian Games comes to an end

“The 16 days of wonderful competition are over, but the Asian Games are over. I always have a very special feeling in my heart. The feeling of reluctance, Liu Xiang's flying style, Lin Dan's kingly momentum, Wang Zhizhi's domineering attitude... These wonderful and touching scenes appeared in my mind at the same time, but I also felt very lonely, as if I had just lost a relative or friend. , because this is the first time we hold the Asian Games in Guangzhou.” On the first working day after the Asian Games, staff A Hui came to Guangzhou Baiyun Psychological Hospital to consult a psychologist on how to survive the psychological low period after the Asian Games.
