The eagerly anticipated torch for the 2025 World Games has been unveiled in Chengdu, located in southwest China's Sichuan Province. Named \"Zhumeng,\" which translates to \"Bamboo Dream,\" this torch marks the first in the history of the competition.
Inspired by Sichuan's ancient Shu civilization, the design of Zhumeng integrates traditional elements with modern artistry. Its shape, color, and intricate patterns not only embody the spirit of the World Games but also narrate a story of China's rich heritage, aligning perfectly with the event's relay slogan: \"Join the World Games, Ignite the Dream.\"
Standing at 72 centimeters, the torch draws inspiration from the Sanxingdui Bronze Standing Figure, seamlessly incorporating bamboo segments. This unique fusion symbolizes the enduring legacy of Chinese civilization intertwined with the vibrant energy of sportsmanship.
The color palette of green and silver plays a significant role in the torch's narrative. Green represents the world's natural foundation, emphasizing sustainability and environmental consciousness. Silver, on the other hand, reflects technological innovation and the forward momentum driving the event. Together, these colors underscore China's commitment to green development and cutting-edge progress, envisioning a shared and sustainable future with the global community.
The 2025 World Games in Chengdu are set to take place from August 7th to 17th, promising a celebration of sports, culture, and international camaraderie.
