The path to the Asian Games was tied together 95 years ago: Chukyo University's Chukyo High School's Chen Han-chie will represent Taiwan.

The bond forged at Koshien in the summer 95 years ago led to the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

Chen Yisheng (16), a first-year student at Chukyo University Chukyo High School (Showa Ward, Nagoya City), participated in the women's 400m track and field event as a representative of Taiwan.

On the evening of September 25th, the women's 400m qualifying round was held at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletics Stadium (Paloma Mizuho Stadium).

Chen placed 16th with a time of 56.39 seconds. Before the tournament, he suffered a stress fracture in his left foot and missed out on advancing to the finals. Still, ``I wasn't nervous, I gave it my all, and I had a lot of fun.''

Also present at the venue were his friends from his high school track and field team, as well as his parents and younger brother who had come from Taiwan.
