Chengdu, hosted The World Games(TWG) from August 7 to 17, 2025. Its torch(火炬) “Zhumeng”(Bamboo Dream) sounds like chasing dreams and it is the first torch in TWG history.
① The torch’s design comes from the Bronze Statues of the Shang Dynasty(商青铜立人像) from the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan. The statue is a famous symbol of Sanxingdui civilization, one of China’s oldest cultures. ② Using this statue in the torch design shows the wisdom of Chinese culture’s unity. ③ In China, bamboo stands for strength. It is just like the spirit of sports because it shows teamwork and hard work. As home to giant pandas, Sichuan has lots of bamboo forests.

The top of the torch is shaped like a young bamboo shoot with two buds stretching out. This means open and friendly China welcoming the world. ④ The torch’s nozzle(喷嘴) is like the sun-shaped crown worn by the Bronze Statues found at the Jinsha Site in Chengdu. It shows Chengdu’s deep culture and gives athletes endless strength, like the sun. It also shows their spirit of wanting to do their best. At the torch’s bottom, a phoenix-shaped(凤凰形的) bird holds it, showing China’s culture and hope for world peace.
With its special design, the “Zhumeng” torch connects ancient Chinese culture with modern sports, carrying athletes’ dreams and Chengdu’s warm welcome to the world.
