專訪｜谷愛凌：首次參與龍舟活動很興奮 冀多來港以體育向世界傳播中國文化

"I was completely swept up in the festive atmosphere today, and I'm so happy to be here at the Hong Kong 'Dragonbeat'," said Eileen Gu, the Winter Olympics gold medalist, in an exclusive interview with DotNews. The "Dragonbeat" DJ party, the inaugural event of the Hong Kong Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships, officially kicked off today (19th), with Gu serving as the event ambassador, attracting many citizens and tourists to enjoy the festive atmosphere. Gu believes that the "Shangri-La Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships" and the "Dragonbeat" event are unique, combining historical and traditional culture with a more modern festive style. "Being able to experience food, sports, entertainment, and cultural history in one place is very special," she said. When asked about future plans to return to Hong Kong and leverage her personal strengths to promote Chinese culture, Gu pointed out that she hopes to participate in more sports and entertainment activities in Hong Kong and looks forward to returning to "Dragonbeat" next year. She pointed out that Hong Kong holds a unique position in spreading Chinese culture, serving as a bridge and platform for exchange between Eastern and Western cultures. "I feel I have many similarities with Hong Kong. Through sports, we can spread Chinese culture to the world and showcase our traditional strength and historical heritage." At the same time, Gu Ailing believes that sports are one of the best ways to exchange ideas. "Being able to convey culture to the world through sports is a very special process." When asked if she, as a skier, would like to experience dragon boat racing, she said that today was her first time participating in a dragon boat activity, and it was especially special because it coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival. She also wished everyone a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival and hoped to experience the rich festival culture together.
