There are many reasons why Ding Junhui was chosen to run the first leg of Jixi Torch Relay. First, Ding Junhui is a world billiards champion, and he has this qualification. Secondly, there are certain historical origins in it.
ding Junhui must be clear to everyone. In the 28 Olympic Games, Ding Junhui, as a torchbearer, passed the first baton in Jixi, but it is strange that Ding Junhui is not from Jixi and his ancestral home is not in Jixi, so why did he choose Ding Junhui to run the first baton?
The first point is definitely that Ding Junhui himself is capable of this honor. As we know, Ding Junhui is a very good billiards player. He has been in contact with billiards since he was eight years old. At this age, ordinary children may still be playing with mud, but Ding Junhui has discovered his interest and started to fight for his dreams. Ding Junhui's family is very ordinary. His parents are ordinary self-employed and his family is not rich. But Ding Junhui is a very promising child. His parents sold the house and continued to support him in pursuing his interests. He vowed to win glory for his parents. When Ding Junhui was thirteen years old, he won the third place in the Asian Invitational Tournament. From then on, he became famous. Everyone called the child a prodigy. After that, Ding Junhui practiced billiards even harder and won numerous honors. Ding Junhui is the first China person to win the World Snooker Ranking Championship, so he is fully qualified to deliver the first stick of the Olympic torch.
second, there is a certain historical origin in choosing Ding Junhui to run the first baseball. If you are lucky enough to travel to Jixi, then the tour guide will tell you a little about the history of Jixi. There used to be a problem of geomantic omen here, because some geomantic omen masters have seen the place where there is Long Mai in Longding, but this Long Mai is very unstable. The geomantic omen master said that he needed to find a Ding to guard it, and he also built a small ancestral temple named Ding for this purpose. China is a country with rich cultural heritage, not to say that it is superstitious. Many big things will be decided based on the origin of history, and only by respecting history can we develop. Ding Junhui's surname is Ding, and with his achievements, he is the most suitable.
Finally, according to Ding Junhui himself, when he was chosen as a torchbearer, the places available for him to choose were limited, because other places had already been chosen. At that time, only Xinjiang, Tibet and Anhui were left, and Ding Junhui chose Anhui. For the above reasons, Ding Junhui passed the first torch in Jixi.
