CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- When it comes to such long lost sports as iron-hoop rolling, hopscotch and beanbag game, do you recall childhood memories? On March 25th, a childhood memory community sports meet was held on Jiulong Square, Jiulongpo District, where citizens heartily enjoyed the fun of “traveling” back to their childhoods.

Early in the morning, though it was drizzling, over 400 participants gathered at the playing field wearing raincoats. The nostalgic events such as iron-hoop rolling, shuttlecock kicking, hopscotch and the long rope skipping relay attracted quite a few onlookers to join in the fun.

At the scene, a number of fathers and mothers played the games, and quite a few cute children also joyously joined their parents, making the scene both warm and fun. Every one of them, no matter he (she) is a post-60s, post-70s, post-80s or post-90s or even post-00s or post-10s, enjoyed himself (herself) very much playing the games.

The long rope skipping competition has evoked childhood memories of quite a few people.

According to an official of the Jiulongpo District Administration of Sport, the activity has specially set up these sports games spanning several generations for people to enjoy. This not only can make citizens recall their childhood memories, but also plays a positive role in cultural inheritance and education of children.
