Suzhou is one of China’s most important electronics manufacturing centres. But who cares about that? On June 29th nothing was more important to the city than its team beating nearby Yangzhou in a football match. The fierce rivalry stretches back more than 1,000 years to when the cities competed for pre-eminence along the Grand Canal. For centuries they also sought to outdo each other’s sublime gardens. Suzhou, the larger and richer of the two, was victorious during the Song dynasty. It continued its winning streak in 2025, comfortably beating Yangzhou 3-0.
蘇州是中國最重要的電子製造業中心之一。然而在6月29日這天,整座城市最關心的事情莫過於本地足球隊戰勝鄰近的揚州隊。這場激烈對抗的淵源可追溯至千年前——當時兩座城市就為爭奪大運河沿岸的霸主地位明爭暗鬥。數百年來,雙方在營造精美園林方面也互不相讓。作為兩者中規模更大、更富裕的一方,蘇州在宋朝時期就佔據上風。到了2025年,蘇州隊延續勝績,以3-0的比分輕鬆擊敗揚州隊。
