After 12 hours of train journey, I arrived with a fatigue Changsha. Just the train, a surge of heat waves on the face descend quickly, then just seven in the morning, weather forecast said that today's maximum temperature of Changsha, there are nearly 40 degrees, in the heart to lay abacus, that is not going anywhere, just as hotel left alone. Have never been to a decade, Changsha, and in the impression of rain in Changsha are rare this time to heat the sky, only gives a feeling - hot!
Fortunately, the passenger station at this time is not much out of the platform, had not thought it was them to stay, intention is to take a taxi to the hotel, but saw a sign that read Welcome to the fifth session of the contact City Games co-ordinators Members, immediately walked over and asked them to stay reception staff is not, and just send them to the hotel was.
Finished in a hotel toilet on the second floor conference room to meet until the afternoon was out of the hotel to another computer remotely operating room internship registration system. Changsha, the road is quite narrow, mostly four-lane, speed is very slow, junctions do not have to install "electronic eyes", I did not see police officers on duty. Changsha, in the car to see there are many places are doing road construction or widening, dust flying. Some see a slightly more impressive buildings are the government agencies or the bureau's property. Low and thinly trees does not bring the people to cool feeling.
Walking on the main street in Changsha, you can feel the use of this time in the Games, vigorously develop urban construction. As in Guangzhou two years ago with the Ninth National Games to the city as the building of better. Whether the construction of sports venues or the supporting road construction, or a computer network roll-out, we must progress in many areas. With the provincial government's thought is to take this occasion to strengthen the construction of sports stadium construction, accelerate the pace of urban construction, to improve the urban management level.
8:00 that evening, the organizing committee arranged for us to see the Tian Han Grand Theater performances. The car in the narrow road slowly open, and nearly half an hour's drive to get there destination. See the rows of low houses along the way, looked very old, like twenty years ago in Guangzhou. This theatrical performance is very noisy, first up a group of dancers from abroad, doing simple body movements, but the clothes are dressed Zhengou small, almost all three-point performance clothing. Noisy step down after the dance performances, the stage to move out of a small piece of real ice station, a man and a woman skating performers in the above made a very simple movement. The standard of skating race narrowed after the market can see the skating that specific speed and fluidity, is absolutely not that story. But the host said that this could be the true move the ice arena can be said to be the only, nor be regarded as unique, then. The next performance is getting worse, and even opened between the host and performers played a dirty jokes, make people feel vulgar. Less than 40 minutes I heard some people shouting back refund. Most hosts speak a sentence is to let the viewers applauded, and unfortunately, he has hot body sweat, and has not brought much applause. The most funny is that the audience take over the staff issued light sticks, no brandishing long was entirely thrown back on the stage, to express dissatisfaction on the program. There are many sticks thrown in the past specifically to the host, there are 12 really have hit him. I watched half of the patient would no longer stand it anymore, ranging from shows done on his own taxi back to Hotel.
The next morning up, go to another hotel to participate in the inaugural meeting of the Organizing Committee. The City Games is the Olympic Games in 2008 an overall review of the reserve forces, but also an important preparation stage the Olympic Games campaign. The Secretary of the State Sports General Administration, the Chinese Olympic Committee president Yuan Weimin, the arrival of all security staff and the media a while tense, journalists have looked to the camera opposite him. Conference venue would be very careful from here would be able to see the Undertaker is not willing to spend money is not. However, the leaders are only the reading of each one of us on the table a copy of that statement is, indeed, people feel a bit stuffy!
Kai finally finished the General Assembly, after lunch, I have only time in the afternoon head for the city of Changsha. Changsha is really hot, not too long walk in the street, he saw a large shopping mall quickly walked inside. Had not thought of buying anything, just take a look at the East see the West. Finally sitting in McDonald's, the front of the sun reading, it is so get over this afternoon.
"Star City every event, Meet in the autumn", Changsha, also known as Star City (Why? I do not know), this time City Games was held in Hunan Province since the founding of the largest sporting event, they would "give the power of the province , to run the Games. " I believe that in October of Changsha, will be subject to the National People's attention. By then, I shall come back to this "beautiful Changsha"!
