The background music for the athletes' entrance at the opening ceremony was "Our Asia".
It is the theme song for the Asian Culture Carnival event of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations in May 2019. After dozens of minutes of single looping, the audience’s minds were filled with “Asia” and “Asia”.
At the opening ceremony, infield torchbearers Ye Shiwen, Fan Zhendong, Xu Mengtao, Shi Zhiyong, Li Lingwei and Wang Shun passed the torch in turn. At the same time, "digital torchbearers" carrying the enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of people across Asia are running across the Qiantang River.
"Digital Torchbearers" and Wang Shun, *** jointly lit the main torch tower of the Hangzhou Asian Games. The main torch tower is shaped like the tide of the Qianjiang River slowly unfolding. The 19 torches symbolize the 19th Asian Games, symbolizing the fighting spirit of endless competition and bravely standing on the tide.
Digital technology allows every ordinary person, no matter how far apart, to become an Asian Games torchbearer in the digital world, and ultimately ignite the dream of sports, happiness and Asia together.
