Affectionately called ** and "boss", which demonstrated their supreme prestige in the army during the revolutionary war. However, **often referred to as "boss**" because **'s revolutionary experience and status cannot be underestimated. Despite this, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** was arranged** to be in charge of sports affairs, instead of continuing to command the army, which has a deep historical reason. **Born in Hongjiaguan, the hometown of martial arts in Sangzhi County, Hunan, under the influence of his grandfather and father, he practiced martial arts since he was a child and has an innate love for sports.
During the Red Army, in addition to fighting against the Kuomintang, he never forgot to practice martial arts, and set up a camp school in the Red Second Army Corps, so that soldiers could practice martial arts, shooting, swimming, running, climbing, etc., so as to strengthen their physique and better participate in battle. In addition, he also set up a "combat basketball team" in the Xiangxi Revolutionary Base Area, becoming the first basketball team in the history of our army. During the Anti-Japanese War, the development of sports was further promoted.
After the arrival of the large army in northern Shaanxi, ** put forward the call of "exercising the physique, so as to fight Japan", ** also advocated the slogan of strengthening training and being good at dealing with the Japanese invaders, restored the basketball team during the Red Army period, and guided them to win the first place in the whole army with the support of the army. These initiatives have made ** an active advocate and promoter of sports. Therefore, it is only natural to **let ** be in charge of sports affairs. ** Undoubtedly, the most ideal candidate among the senior generals of the whole army, there is no alternative. Having been entrusted with the responsibility of sports management, he asked curiously, "Why do you value me so much?"
** replied: "* After consulting with ***, it was decided that you should be in charge of sports." * did not hesitate to say: "As long as ** arranged, I will definitely do my best, because sports is also a battle!"."On 5 November, the 19th meeting of the ** Committee officially confirmed ** as the Director of the Sports Commission. For too long, sports have often been neglected or even trivialized. As a marshal commanding thousands of troops, he was suddenly sent to manage sports, and some people's evaluation of him changed, or at least that he was "perhaps less important". However, this view is misleading.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China and the People's Republic of China attached great importance to sports and regarded it as one of the important tasks of development. ** As early as 1917, he began to study physical education and published "The Study of Physical Education". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was proposed that physical education should be ranked before education and after academics. Therefore, at that time, he was in charge of sports work, which can be said to have given him a major mission and was highly valued. To live up to the expectations of the people and the people, the team led by him has formulated a sports system to make China's sports industry develop in an all-round and healthy way, including basketball, swimming, volleyball, table tennis, diving, track and field and other sports.
Under the leadership of the first China, the athletes of New China fought tenaciously and won 12 world championships, breaking more than 100 world records and more than 400 national records. What is touching is that the development of sports is not specialized or professional, but for the whole people, workers and peasants are the objects of development, forming a comprehensive pattern.
