As I just mentioned, Taiwan’s performance in the Olympics has been “Participation, everyone pays more attention to the cultivation and sprint of sports events. This time we are very happy to witness more beauty and more art.” He also revealed, “Today, the staff told me to pick a color from the rainbow.
