The 18th Asian Games will be held in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia, from August 18 to September 2. The Asian Games flag will be handed over to China Hangzhou at the closing ceremony in Jakarta. And here are some celebrities’ words about it.

“We expect music for the Games to demonstrate the Olympic spirit and the cultures and values of Chinese people. The enthusiasm and hospitality of the host city Hangzhou should be embodied in the musical works with an international stance. Music and sports are intertwined. Both of them can generate power and warm hearts.” – Wang Leehom, global champion of the Call for Musical Works for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022.

“I hope people who love music will actively echo the call. Sometimes we write songs to express our own feelings, and other times we compose to help others express their feelings. If people can get a better understanding of Hangzhou Asian Games through our music and lyrics, that would be quite exciting.” – Li Ronghao, initiator of NetEase Cloud Music Division and referrer of the Call for Musical Works for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022

“There are many talented young people on Douyin. Music is a kind of language that can help express the emotions that pure words can’t. I hope people can fully utilize their imaginations and seize the opportunity to create musical works with different styles. Let’s do it together!” – Hu Yanbin, initiator of Douyin Division, Call for Musical Works for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022.

“College students are experiencing the prime of their lives in music creation. There are so many arts institutions in China and I really look forward to some excellent musical works produced by young people.” – Li Quan, initiator of Collegiate Division, Call for Musical Works for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022.
