How does it feel to be living and competing in Guangzhou? Is this your first time here?

I've been to China so many times. I came here 15 years ago for the first time, and I love the country very much. The people are friendly and the traditional culture is charming. For these games in Guangzhou, I think everything has been very well organized, with a high standard of service. We are happy to be here.
