Prologue: Audience friends, at this festive moment, we might as well rewind the camera to 100 years ago. In 1908 Tianjin Youth Magazine, three questions were asked to people at that time: When can an athlete take part in the Olympic Games? When else can I team up for the Olympic Games? When can we hold the Olympic Games? Three heavy question marks, no one can answer. This is not only an Olympic dream, but also a dream of a prosperous country. But it seems to be a coincidence that1908,2008, time perfectly answered these three questions. Is this coincidence also the best response to a nation's dream and pursuit of dreams? Today, we have come a long way, but we should not forget how we started. If looking back at the Olympic Games is compared to the 100-meter runway, how lonely and emotional it is for China people to stand up for the first time! Come on, let's listen together!
Liu Chengyu:
1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games
As a graduating college student.
I, Liu Changchun, am eager to represent China in the Olympic Expedition.
After drifting on the endless sea for 2 1 day.
I have been severely dehydrated and weak.
Walk into the opening ceremony.
Facing a man's national team
The stands are full of strange eyes, strange eyes.
The result of the game can be imagined.
An American newspaper commented that
With the failure of an athlete
The whole of China has failed.
The second time was in 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.
In order to raise money for the competition
The China delegation must leave by boat two months before the start of the competition.
Passing through Southeast Asian countries, bidding and selling artworks along the way.
Sea bumps
China athletes, who worked hard all the way, came breathlessly to take part in the competition.
result
Only one pole vaulter @ entered the semi-finals.
Poor @
I don't even have a pole of my own.
Every competition is borrowed from foreign athletes.
finally
He was eliminated after all.
At that time, Europe even published a cartoon mocking China people, called "The Sick Man of East Asia".
In the painting, a group of people in robes and jackets continue to describe China.
They stood under the five-ring flag.
There is a huge duck egg on his shoulder.
At that moment, my heart
cracked
At that moment, I finally understood.
Without the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the nation.
How can we athletes be higher, faster and stronger in the Olympic Games?
Without the recognition of the world, there is no participation of the whole people.
Even if the medal hangs on the chest.
It is also difficult to shine the light of the Olympic dream.
I look forward to it.
expect
firmly believe
one day
We in China will be proud under the five-ring flag.
Stand up with your head held high
one day
one day
