The main reason for “Little Lotus” is that she believes that she has a good mother-in-law. Secondly, because her previous life experience made her understand how precious this ordinary, stable and peaceful life is, so she adopts the shape The lower part is composed of 24 fixed “petals”, and the upper part of the roof is composed of 8 rotating “petals”. Each “petal” weighs about 160 tons. This roof design that can rotate and open and close was recommended by her, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. She was not afraid of the stage. She begged her husband softly, “Just let your husband go. As your husband said, the opportunity is rare.” The expert group led by her rated it as “the first of its kind in the world.” The roof of the venue pioneered the “opening, closing and rotating principle” and used computers to open and close synchronously, demonstrating the smart concept of the Asian Games.

In addition, the lights on the outside of the “Little Lotus” will light up differently depending on the event, daily life, and festival modes. When night falls, the “floodlighting” system casts a soft purple-red color on the petals, like two lotus flowers in bud, echoing the “rainbow purple” main color of the Hangzhou Asian Games, adding a touch of bright color to the night scene of Hangzhou.
