STORYLINE:
The Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games flame was lit on Thursday in the Liangzhu ancient city in east China's Zhejiang Province, marking the 100-day countdown to the opening of the 19th Asian Games.
Nineteen flame collectors, dressed in white, strolled up the steps before one of them lit a torch from the rays of the sun using a concave mirror. The outline of the mirror, designed like a jade bi, symbolizes the sun's rays.
The torch relay will take place in September and culminate in lighting the cauldron at the opening ceremony on September 23.
Despite the one-year postponement of the Asian Games, Hangzhou is prepared to host the greatest multi-sport event in the world after the Olympic Games, making Asia proud.
