Chapter 65 Zhang Boling is online

Faced with Xiao Liuzi's doubts, Zhang Boling was angry and helpless. He wanted to sit down with him but felt it was inappropriate, so he found a piece of information from the bookshelf behind him and brought it over.

"That foreigner doesn't think much of our countrymen. I will deal with him later and make sure to give an explanation to the public. But Xiao Liuzi, this North China Games is really not what I, Mr. Zhang, said. What the foreigner said is a bit more

The facts are in there.”

Xiao Liuzi had some questions, took the information and looked at him and said: "Although I was not very old at the time, I still remember that the first North China Games was initiated by the China-US Democratic Alliance. Both sides sent their own troops to support it, and even Yuan Datou even

Three types of medals have been specially made for this purpose, so we attach great importance to it, right?"

Who is Zhang Boling?

A famous patriotic educator, the founder of the Nankai series of schools, the earliest advocate of Western drama and the Olympic Games, and one of the most respected leaders in the modern Chinese sports world.

He studied at the Beiyang Naval Academy in his early years and participated in the Sino-Japanese War. He actively advocated sports throughout his life and participated in the preparation of the North China Games, the National Games and the Far East Games. He served as the president of the China Amateur Sports Federation, the first national sports organization in China.

, later served as the honorary president of the China Sports Association.

But for such a well-known figure, it would take a lot of effort to organize a regional sports meeting.

Recalling the initial preparations, Zhang Boling was also full of bitter tears: "Everyone can say good things, but when they applied for funds, they were faster than the others. The funds were raised by American Shu Meigan and Hou Kelun of the Sports Association, but even so

It was still not enough, so in the end, it was made up through donations from Americans Welles’ film performance and Bick’s piano performance.”

"As the saying goes, 'If you take someone else's hand short, you will eat someone else's mouth short.' We have something to ask for from others, and it will be the same in this year."

Xiao Liuzi was still a little unconvinced and continued to ask: "Even so, we shouldn't take it all. At least the rules must be formulated and implemented according to our understanding."

"Xiao Liuzi, please take a look at the information in your hand." Zhang Boling shook his head with a wry smile: "Most of the people who are running this meeting are Westerners. Except for a few enthusiastic people, no one in the country is willing to participate. The education authorities are not paying attention to this.

The general society is particularly indifferent.”

"If you want to kill a thief, you can't save him."

Xiao Liuzi was speechless and silently looked through the information in his hand.

Zhang Boling ignored him and paced on his own: "Not only the North China Games, but the National Games are also hosted by the Peking Sports Association founded by Americans. It's ridiculous to say that we don't want foreigners to participate, but it seems like we can't even do it without them.

Crawling is a chore."

Historically, the May 4th Movement not only launched the New Culture Movement, but also made great contributions to sports, making many people realize the importance of sports sovereignty. From the first National Games, which was fully taken over by the YMCA, to the third National Games in 1924

, except for swimming and baseball competitions, which are still refereed by foreigners, all other referees and staff are Chinese. The measurement of track and field competitions has been changed from the original imperial system (code system) to the metric system.

Looking at the detailed data in the document, Xiao Liuzi no longer dared to make blind accusations, and after a long time he gently closed the book.

"Sir, it's Xiao Liuzi. I'm being rude. Thank you for doing so much behind my back." Xiao Liuzi took out a banknote from his arms and put it on the table: "This is a thousand yuan banknote. I want to express my feelings.

I wish this North China Games a success, and I hope it will be organized in Fengtian later, and I will definitely go and support it."

Xiao Liuzi also secretly apologized in his heart, but the target was not the one in front of him, but the beauties from Jinmen. It was hard to come from Fengtian once, and without his wife, he naturally wanted to make more friends of the opposite sex, and the money he had originally meant

I wanted to have some fun, but now I'm using it here.

Of course I have no regrets. If I don’t have enough money, I can get it later. I’m young and energetic right now and don’t have so much to spend time with. It’s just because I don’t like the foreigner and supports the country’s sports industry.

This money is not for personal use, but for the North China Games. In addition, I have been to Fengtian many times to promote sports ideas, so I know the financial situation of the Zhang family, so I accepted it: "Then I will pay for the athletes.

Thank you, Liuzi. Your money can make our domestic sports industry take a small step forward. At least it can translate more athlete manuals."

"Haha, thank you sir." Xiao Liuzi originally admired Zhang Boling, but he couldn't stand this compliment and felt a little embarrassed: "I hope our sports will be localized early so that people like Mr. Dong will be less aggrieved."

Hearing this, Zhang Boling originally wanted to continue, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he paced quickly with a frown.

Xiao Liuzi was very confused and asked: "Sir, what's going on? Do you need me to avoid it?"

"No need." Zhang Boling stopped him.

"By the way, I remembered." Zhang Boling hammered the palm of his left hand with his right hand and said cheerfully: "It's not that we don't have completely localized sports events in our country, and not a single foreigner participates. They are all hosted by their own people and the rules are formulated.

It’s up to us to make the decision.”

Xiao Liuzi's eyes widened: "Sir, please tell me which sports meeting it is, when it will be held, where it will be, and is there any tennis competition?"

Zhang Boling pointed to the west: "Far away in the horizon but right in front of us, we have just finished hosting the North China Games, and the spring sports meeting prepared by Professor Cheng of Peking University has kicked off."

It turned out that Cai Yuanpei was afraid that Cheng Nuo would be disadvantaged when he was young, so after getting the sports meeting plan, he asked Zhang Boling to review it and let him see if there were any flaws.

If it were another school, it was just a school-level sports meeting, Zhang Boling would not take it seriously, but the problem is that this is Peking University, the leader of all universities in the country, and his reforms can always cause other schools to imitate.

The introduction of the women's ban a few months ago has set off a wave. Now that the sports games are being held again and the operation is carried out, it is difficult not to attract attention.

In the plan, Cheng Nuo combined the experience of later generations and specifically added exercise physiology and sports psychology, which was refreshing to Zhang Boling. What shocked him most was that Cheng Nuo's changes to the rules of various sports were particularly forward-looking. If not

I got the plan too late, just in time for the North China Games to start, so I had to visit Cheng Nuo anyway.

Xiao Liuzi frowned slightly, thoughtfully: "Could it be that you are talking about the Professor Cheng who was in the limelight some time ago?"

"Other than him, who else can be so knowledgeable." Speaking of Cheng Nuo, Zhang Boling was full of praise: "Every time his name appears in my ears, it always improves my understanding, spanning arithmetic and literature. Nowadays, his name appears in my ears.

It’s hard to find two people in the world who can have such insights in physical education.”

Thinking of this, Zhang Boling sighed: "Unfortunately, Professor Cheng's reform was too late, and Peking University's sports progress has not been obvious. It was unable to participate in the North China Games. I am afraid that Tsinghua University will have to take the first place again this year."

Xiao Liuzi was full of strong interest: "It's a pity not to be able to meet such a powerful person. Sir, you are busy with the North China Games first. I will take the lead tomorrow to explore his true identity."

Privately, he is planning to spend another thousand yuan to support the sports meeting of Peking University. He can also be a tennis referee.
