Chinese athletes heading to the Paris Olympics will be carrying a piece of history with them. A newly unveiled suitcase, inspired by the iconic Terracotta Warriors, has captured the nation's attention.

The luggage, a blend of tradition and modernity, features a striking red and black color scheme reminiscent of the warriors' armor. Its design incorporates elements such as the warriors' distinctive neckties and the golden wheels of ancient chariots. Even the zipper pull is a nod to the past, shaped like an ancient Chinese shield.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the suitcase is built for the rigors of international travel. Constructed from a durable composite material, it's designed to withstand the bumps and bruises of air travel. The interior features compartments for separating wet and dry items, ensuring athletes' belongings stay organized and fresh.

The suitcase, named "Ying Yong", is a combination of the Chinese words for "hero" and "Terracotta Warriors", reflecting the spirit and heritage it embodies. The design has been met with widespread enthusiasm on social media, with many expressing pride in the unique blend of culture and practicality.

The Chinese Olympic delegation, officially formed on July 13, comprises 405 athletes and 311 support staff.
