The annual sporting and cultural festival between National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), known as the Meichu Games, unfolded this year with greater intensity and spectacle than ever. In this ultimate showdown symbolizing inter-university spirit, NYCU claimed the championship with a 7-3 score, successfully achieving back-to-back victories and keeping the honor on their campus once again.
Opening Ceremony Ignites Passion, Tradition Reaches New Heights
On February 28, the grand opening ceremony commenced with the presidents of both universities, Chi-Hung Lin and W. John Kao, exchanging jackets, demonstrating their deep friendship and mutual respect amidst competition.
The 57th Meichu Games kicked off with the sound of gongs struck by the presidents of both universities.
Hsinchu City Mayor Chen-Yuan Chiu inspired the athletes by quoting from the film "Fearless（霍元甲）": "In martial arts, there is no hierarchy, but people have their strengths and weaknesses. The Meichu Games offer an excellent opportunity to test yourself because your true opponent is yourself." These words ignited the passion of everyone present.
Three Days of Competition: Peak Confrontations, Rapidly Changing Fortunes
The games delivered high drama from day one. The table tennis team's thrilling comeback and the badminton team's five-set battle late into the night kept spectators on the edge of their seats. The following day, the baseball team defeated NTHU 6-4, ending their opponents' three-year winning streak, with player Tzu-chia Wang's superb pitching and the team's flawless defense becoming hot topics after the match.
The women's basketball team staged an incredible comeback in the final two minutes, while the men's team narrowly defended their lead in the crucial final 20 seconds, with every match keeping audiences breathless with tension.
On the final day, NYCU added more victories in bridge and volleyball competitions, extending the overall score to 7-3 and securing the championship trophy. Each contest was filled with dramatic moments, spectators applauding the athletes' resilience and intelligence.
Fierce Competition on the Field, Mutual Respect Off It
After the games, President Lin emotionally stated: "This honor belongs to every athlete who fought for NYCU and all the faculty and students who supported them. We thank NTHU's athletes for their outstanding performance and look forward to joining hands again next year to create more exciting moments!"
NTHU President Kao humorously responded: "NYCU won beautifully, but we'll have another chance to compete next year!"
The Passion Continues, See You Next Year
This year's Meichu Games concluded with NYCU's victory, just the beginning of a new chapter. The story between these two universities will continue, with anticipation building for the 2026 Meichu Games to create even more glorious legends!
