They improved emergency plans, maintained the venue, managed order, and provided logistics and medical support. The city announced it will continue to hold cultural and sports activities, promote mass fitness together with sports culture, and bring traditional sports into everyday life for more people.

Thoughts and Inspiration
Archery is both a skill and a daily practice of perseverance and mutual aid. Whether it is the focus needed in practice, the encouragement among teammates, or the order and safety on the field, all result from long‑term effort and support for one another—much like neighbors working together on a craft, simple and feasible.

Heaven often reminds us not to give up because of temporary trouble. Diligence and perseverance are as important in life as they are in sport. May our fellow villagers, while preserving their crafts and taking part in public life, guard honesty, work hard, help each other, and bring this humble strength back to their families and communities.

Scripture
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9
