The country is rich and strong, and sports are prosperous; When the country declines, sports will decline. In the first Olympic Games, the corrupt Qing government refused to participate because it didn't know what "track and field" was. 1932, Liu Changchun, a student of Northeastern University, runs track and field alone. Finally, at 1984, Xu Haifeng's crisp voice announced the breakthrough of China Olympic gold medal zero record; In 2000, China won 28 gold medals, 16 silver medals and 15 bronze medals at the Sydney Olympic Games, ranking among the top three in history. China proved to the world that he is no longer the "sick man of East Asia", and China has gradually become a sports power. International Olympic Committee President Samaranch happily called and said, "China can best embody the Olympic spirit." .
"Peace, unity and friendship" will always be the purpose of the Olympic Games.
Because of the Olympics, people on five continents forgot their resentment; Because of the Olympic Games, people all over the world have transcended the boundaries of race, religion and politics. Because of the Olympics, everyone has a bright smile; Because of the Olympics, the audience's thunderous applause for the heroes turned into a magnificent symphony; Because of the Olympic Games, Korean and Korean athletes walked into the stadium hand in hand.
"Faster, higher and stronger" is the essence of the Olympic spirit.
The Olympic spirit is a spirit of continuous exploration or rediscovery. It always shows the Hegelian spirit that people conquer themselves, and the victory it decides will not be completely achieved, so it always needs constant efforts and struggles. It is under the inspiration of this spirit that contemporary youth struggle on every front in the preparations for the Olympic Games, and play their own specialties and roles in all aspects. As the Olympic Charter says, we are coordinating all aspects of body, mind and spirit in an all-round way, constantly improving, perfecting and striving hard. We should relax our mentality, pay attention to personal characteristics and interests according to the needs of society, and strive to realize our own life value. Find the right position and be active, not passive. We must have a sense of crisis and establish the concept of lifelong learning, so as to win the eternal youth of society. 」
Coubertin, the father of the Olympics, told us that Olympism is "a spiritual form-a fanatical worship of struggle and harmony, manifested in the pursuit of self-transcendence and self-restraint." Olympism is a philosophy of life derived from sports, but the love, equality, respect, understanding, tolerance, selflessness and dedication it preaches are not only beyond the scope of sports itself, but also the pursuit of human life norms and moral norms.
As the purpose of the Olympic Movement points out: Educate the youth through sports activities without any discrimination and with the Olympic spirit-understanding each other in the spirit of friendship, unity and fairness, thus contributing to the establishment of a peaceful and better world. Olympic education is constructed in a logical order from individual to society and from micro to macro. The first is to make individuals develop in an all-round way, and then expand to society to realize their goal of transforming society and building a better world.
Focusing on the three concepts of "green Olympics", "high-tech Olympics" and "people's Olympics", this paper examines the opportunities and challenges brought by the Olympic Games to the vast number of young people from the youth's perspective, arouses their deep thinking, and inspires them to shape their patriotic, self-reliant, open and confident, pragmatic and enterprising character of the times.
What is the People's Olympics? As an ancient cultural city, the capital of our great motherland, the national political and cultural center, and a city that embodies the excellent traditional virtues of the whole Chinese nation, Beijing hosted the Olympic Games, which combined the traditional culture of China with the Olympic spirit, and the cultures of all countries in the world with the Olympic spirit. At the same time, Beijing's concern for mankind, its concern for the theme of "peace and development" and its organic combination of the Olympic spirit of "swifter, higher and stronger" and the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation in promoting human civilization and scientific and technological progress should be the proper meaning of the People's Olympics.
What is the Green Olympics? I don't think the green Olympics can be simply understood as tree green, grass green and mountain green. Green Olympics includes all aspects of a city and all walks of life. Green Olympics is the content of urban ecology, which includes three basic systems: natural ecosystem, economic ecosystem and social ecosystem. The concept of "green Olympics" requires young people to be fully prepared. From personal thoughts to basic knowledge to specific business, young students must step by step towards the ideal of sustainable development through down-to-earth efforts. Tsinghua University Zou Tao said: "In fact, no matter who, no matter what the correlation between occupation and green concept is, we have food, clothing, shelter and transportation every day. We should integrate this concept into daily life, actively advocate green concepts and practice green behaviors. "
It is well understood that the modernization of Olympic competition facilities and the informationization, networking and intelligence of related transportation facilities, communication facilities, service facilities and various infrastructure are the contents of the high-tech Olympics.
Today's young people are standing at the watershed at the turn of the century. When we look back at the Olympic Games, which is almost the same age as the century, and the mass fitness movement, which is almost neck and neck with the Olympic Games, can we also feel the heavy burden on our shoulders under the background of humanistic Olympics? Beijing will host the 2008 Olympic Games. What is the responsibility of young people in this important event?
The construction of Olympic city and the realization of Olympic goals are a gradual process, and young people have great responsibilities. I think no matter what era you belong to, as long as you are a person who loves the motherland, Beijing and the Olympics, you will feel responsible and try your best to take responsibility.
Responsibility of young students: Coubertin, the father of modern Olympics, told us that the starting point and destination of the Olympics lies in education, and young people cannot do without education. "Faster, higher and stronger" is the essence of the Olympic spirit, and it is in this spirit that modern youth, especially young students, are constantly working hard and learning with great anger. Because no matter what stage of study young students are in, they are all receiving different levels of education and laying a foundation. The students' responsibility for the construction of Olympic city is mainly to receive education, lay a foundation, contribute to the Olympic Games and accumulate strength.
Facing the 2008 Olympic Games, the future of young students is both an opportunity and a challenge.
Everyone may have their own ideas and ideas. We can look forward to it, but we must be down-to-earth on the basis of studying the courses and majors we should study, be a caring person, and learn to look at the motherland, the world, the development of the motherland and the trend of world development. Listen to the development of the motherland and the world. Only by grasping the direction that the motherland and the world are about to develop and recognizing the most advanced technology and culture of mankind can we turn it into the driving force of our own creation. At the same time, we should take advantage of various opportunities to exercise our expressive ability, so as to communicate with the world in the future and reflect our own cultural characteristics. Furthermore, physical exercise can not be ignored. Physical fitness is capital, and physical fitness is the carrier of ability and intelligence. Opportunities always favor young people who are prepared.
In addition, in the process of building an Olympic city and achieving Olympic goals, it is very important for young students to strengthen their ideological and moral cultivation while studying hard. Starting from the small things around us with our exemplary actions, being polite, respecting the old and caring for the young, loving labor, having a sense of justice, maintaining the environment and being enthusiastic about public welfare should become our conscious behavior. I think this is also a preparation for taking responsibility for the Olympic Games.
Responsibilities of other young people: In order to achieve the three goals of the Beijing Olympic Games, in a sense, young people other than students, whether Beijing youth, foreign youth or even foreign young friends, are using their youthful blood to achieve them. Young and middle-aged people from all over the country are the absolute main force in the infrastructure and hardware construction of Beijing Olympic City. I think young talents should also be a new force in the development of high-tech Olympics and various software and hardware. Isn't the creation of Beijing's cultural atmosphere and the exchange of Chinese and foreign cultures also led by young people?
From Deng Yaping and Yang Ling at the Olympic bid site to Yang Lan who received Olympic officials visiting Beijing, the role of these young people is obvious to all. From the site where BOCOG recruits managers to the workers who beautify the environment in the 4th and 5th Ring Roads, most of them are young people who are responsible for the construction of the Olympic city.
In today's social development, the People's Olympics is not only a baptism of our own cultivation, but also a re-examination of world culture and the Olympics. We hear the call from tomorrow, and we see the challenge from tomorrow. Rich history and long civilization are our precious wealth; Yellow water, loess and yellow skin have been our endless pride since ancient times; Whether it is our people's Olympics, high-tech Olympics or green Olympics, we need all kinds of professionals to make it full and complete. Give Beijing a chance and surprise the world. When tens of thousands of volunteer workers emerge in this vast country with a population of 65.438+0.3 billion, and when we let the colors belonging to the rainbow fly in the streets of Beijing and jump in every corner of the competition venues like the 2006.5438+0 Universiade, does it also prove to the world the good ideological quality of China youth?
We will see Beijing more clearly in 2008. It will shine with the civilization of the Chinese nation. It will belong to the Chinese nation and embodies the hopes and dreams of the people of China. Years are like songs, humanistic feelings. For the realization of a century-old dream, we cheered and struggled hard. We believe, we believe, and the whole world believes that the Beijing Olympic Games in four years will become more exciting because of our generation of passionate young people.
The Olympic Games not only brings us the pride of people who are raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, but also carries forward the Olympic spirit, that is, the ideals of "equality, friendship and progress", "fair competition" and "participation is more important than victory" advocated by the Olympic Movement, that is, the dream pursued by the Olympic Movement to transcend skin color, culture and belief and promote human peace and progress.
The Olympic Games is a window to observe a country's comprehensive national strength and a mirror to reflect the quality of a country's citizens. China's comprehensive national strength is rapidly improving, which is beyond doubt by international public opinion. The test of national quality is reflected through a series of links, such as the quality of athletes, the quality of Olympic workers and volunteers, the quality of citizens of the host city, the quality of the audience and so on.
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country." We young people should devote our whole lives to the great motherland, strive constantly, work hard and innovate hard, and strive to make the motherland more prosperous and strong with the Olympic spirit of "Faster, Higher and Stronger" as the criterion.
Tomorrow will be better! It is a kind of praise, but also a solemn entrustment and deep expectation. To live up to this expectation and be a qualified young man to carry forward the Olympic spirit, we need to start from me and now. Let's constantly improve ourselves and greet the Beijing Olympic Games with the best mental outlook.
Peace, unity and friendship will surely be realized faster, higher and stronger, and will certainly be realized.
