There were 29 provincial (municipal) teams at the banquet. However, because the four northeastern provinces were occupied by the Japanese invaders, athletes from Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, and Rehe provinces were all exiled to Peiping. The number of athletes was not large and they could be classified as Northeastern.
Representative team.
In other words, the money Zhou Hexuan donates to provincial (municipal) teams every year is a full 260,000 yuan. Maybe there will be more in the future, because several provinces did not send representatives to participate in this National Games.
Let’s calculate it based on an annual donation of 300,000 yuan. Is this a lot of money?
The answer is: a lot!
During the Central Plains War, this money would have been enough to buy a warlord army of tens of thousands.
However, when divided equally among 30 provinces and cities and thousands of athletes, the amount is very small. Even if no one is involved in corruption, it can only be used to buy some sports equipment and add a few extra pieces of fat to each meal for the athletes.
Sports, like education, is a very expensive field. All Zhou Hexuan can do is to improve the living conditions of sports. This thing needs to be promoted by the state.
But will the Nanjing government strongly support sports at this time?
Of course it's impossible.
Spending 850,000 yuan to build a central stadium is already very rare.
At this time, China was so big that it did not even have a State Sports General Administration, and only sports management agencies were set up in certain departments. And the "All-China Sports Association" (Chinese Olympic Committee) turned out to be just a private organization, and the Nanjing government
No money will be invested in sports.
Let's just say that Liu Changchun participated in the Olympic Games last year. This was the first time for a Chinese to participate in the Olympic Games. But after Liu Changchun's competition, he couldn't even afford a boat ticket to return home, and he needed local overseas Chinese to help raise funds.
As for the athletes of the provincial (municipal) teams, they are not trained by any specialized sports institutions. They basically come from the physical education department of the university. For example, Liu Changchun graduated from the physical education department of Northeastern University. His professional training came from university physical education.
Teacher, the training venue is only the playground of the university.
Therefore, Zhou Hexuan is not afraid that the money he donated will be embezzled. The provincial team leaders, coaches and athletes are not affiliated. They can negotiate and allocate funds privately.
Zhou Hexuan felt that the money was very small and a drop in the bucket, but in the eyes of the athletes, it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
Let’s take Liu Changchun as an example. He graduated from Northeastern University last year and is now living in exile in Guanhai. He needs to work and train at the same time. Not to mention maintaining the amount of training every day, he sometimes can’t even afford to eat. With Zhou Hexuan’s donation,
Liu Changchun can at least not be hungry.
What's more, Zhou Hexuan also donated money to form the national team and borne all the athletes' expenses during the Olympics. This gave them no worries, at least they were not afraid of running out of money to compete abroad or to return home by boat after the competition.
Liu Changchun recalled his Olympic experience last year and was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He shouted the slogan "Long live Mr. Zhou" with great enthusiasm.
Wang Zhengting looked at everyone's reactions with a smile and said: "Now, let me ask Mr. Zhou to say a few words to everyone."
Zhou Hexuan stood up and raised his glass: "I won't say much more. I just hope that you will train hard and bring glory to the country in the future, so that foreigners can also see the strength of our Chinese athletes. Come on, cheers! Let's serve the country through sports!"
"Sports serve the country! Cheers!" the crowd shouted excitedly.
Zhou Hexuan added: "In less than three years, the Berlin Olympics will open. At the end of next year, I will hire some sports coaches from the United States to become the coaches of the Chinese national team. By then, I will hire some sports coaches from all over the country.
Among the outstanding athletes, some athletes will be selected to form the national team. These people will receive the most scientific training. After one year of intensive training, they will represent China in the Berlin Olympics in Germany. I believe that we Chinese will not lose to any nation and will definitely be able to win the next prize.
An Olympic medal!”
"Pah, pah, pah!"
The audience burst into applause. Many National Games champions were already eager to try and wanted to fly to Berlin to compete right away.
Sports are really important and can greatly enhance national self-confidence.
As far as winning the next Olympics is concerned, because Germany rose to first place in the gold medal list, it immediately increased Hitler's terrifying public support. After the game, Hitler vigorously promoted the theory of Aryan race superiority, and the entire German people followed suit.
Cheering like chicken blood.
Sports development around the world is not perfect now. As long as training and competitions are carefully arranged, China has a good chance of winning medals at the Berlin Olympics.
For example, athletes from Ethiopia will win gold medals in free wrestling and Greco-Roman wrestling. North Korean athlete Son Ki-jung even won a gold medal in the marathon, becoming the first North Korean to win an Olympic gold medal.
North Korea, which became a Japanese colony, can win gold medals in the Berlin Olympics. Why can't the Chinese?
After the speech, the celebration banquet officially began, and the athletes feasted on fat meat.
Zhou Hexuan went to toast with Chu Minyi and Wang Zhengting. They first went to the two tables of the Shanghai delegation, which had won the most gold medals. Then they went to the Northeastern delegation. Zhou Hexuan solemnly said to Liu Changchun: "Mr. Liu, I admire you very much.
I respect your speech at the National Games!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, Mr. Zhou said something harsh." Liu Changchun quickly responded with water instead of wine.
What did Liu Changchun say at the just-concluded National Games?
It was not just the speech at the opening ceremony, but also the speech at the closing ceremony. He said: "You can go home after the game, but I and other Northeastern players have a hard time going home. I hope that next time the National Sports Conference of the Republic of China
, can be held at the Beiling Sports Ground in Shenyang. The overall championship of the next National Games is to restore the color of the rivers and mountains in Northeast China."
This sentence has a double meaning. "The overall championship of the next National Games is to restore the color of the Northeast's rivers and mountains." It can be understood as the color of the competition championship flag (the championship is equivalent to a medal), and it can also be understood as the person who regains the territory of the Northeast.
champion.
At that time, the audience at the closing ceremony shed tears and shouted the slogan "Resist Japan, save the country, and return our country." This caused a strong protest from the Japanese Minister in China, who demanded that Liu Changchun be severely punished and his competition results cancelled.
The National Games Organizing Committee was criticized by the Executive Yuan for this, and Liu Changchun himself received a serious warning, ordering him not to openly shout slogans that undermined diplomatic relations again.
This thing is ridiculous, but it did happen. The Japanese are so cautious.
What’s even more disgusting is next year’s North China Games. At that time, 500 students from the Nankai cheerleading team held up flags and arranged the four characters “Don’t forget the national humiliation.” Such an action actually aroused a protest from the commander of the Japanese garrison in Tianjin, Umezu Yoshijiro, and then asked
The Negotiation Department of Tianjin Municipal Government issued a diplomatic note.
Damn, who is the victim? Who is the aggressor?
Mr. Zhang Boling, the principal of Nankai University, is still very cute. He called the student leaders and severely criticized: "You are very annoying! You hate it well! You will be so annoying next time! But you must hate it more skillfully!"
The students were deeply aware of their mistakes, sincerely accepted the principal's criticism, and then went back to seriously study "more clever" techniques.
First set a small goal for yourself: for example, collect:. Mobile version website: m.
