Yimeng spirit resonates across the nation amid highlights of the 26th Shandong Province Sports Games

Hosting The 26th Shandong Province Sports Games offers a vital opportunity for Linyi to carry forward the Yimeng spirit. The grand opening‑ceremony performance themed Chasing Dreams Amid Mountains and Seas: The Vibrant Yimeng embeds the core connotation of “Party‑mass unity, military‑civilian solidarity, flesh‑and‑blood bond and shared weal‑and‑woe” into every chapter of the show.

At the opening‑ceremony stage, the folk ballad Ballad of Yimeng Mountain echoed across Linyi Olympic Sports Park Stadium. Visual effects of phoenix wings spreading unfolded on giant screens, presenting time‑honored Dongyi civilization, Langya culture, revolutionary red memories and contemporary urban achievements in chronological order.

During the Games, major red‑cultural scenic spots including East China Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall and Changshanzhuang in Yinan county received surging visitor flows. Immersive performance programs such as “Retracing the front‑supporting routes” won wide popularity. Melodies of Ode to Yimeng drifted through red‑tourism venues, enabling visitors to perceive and understand the Yimeng spirit through vivid artistic expressions.

Linyi has integrated red‑cultural resources into sports events, cultural tourism and public‑education activities. The Yimeng spirit, rooted in this old revolutionary base, strikes a contemporary chord among athletes, spectators and tourists from across Shandong province.
