Outdoor activities are on the rise in China, and at the forefront is the fast-growing sport of frisbee. Embraced by many of the nation’s youth, frisbee offers not only a chance to stay active but also a unique way to build teamwork and forge new friendships.
Recently, the Communication University of China and the Beijing University of Chemical Technology held a joint frisbee competition. Undeterred by the cold weather, students from both universities came together for a lively match that showcased their skills and camaraderie.
International students were particularly drawn to the event, seeing it as an opportunity to connect with peers from different backgrounds. Hussain Ahmad, a student from Pakistan studying at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology, was among the enthusiastic players.
“Frisbee is more than just a sport; it’s a way for teammates to support each other and work together towards the same goal,” Hussain shared. “Through frisbee, I’ve made great friends and learned the value of cooperation.”
The frisbee craze reflects a broader trend among China’s Gen Z, who are increasingly turning to sports and outdoor activities as a means of socialization and cultural exchange. By embracing frisbee, they are not only staying fit but also building bridges between diverse communities.
As frisbee continues to gain popularity across China, it stands as a testament to the unifying power of sports. For Hussain and many others, it’s a game that transcends boundaries and brings people together in the spirit of teamwork and friendship.
