Ni Zhiqin and Zhu Jianhua bravely broke the world record and inspired the fighting spirit of generations. Ni Zhiqin was very emotional about this: "A hundred years ago, Yan Fu advocated drumming up the people's strength, and translating the "Theory of Heavenly Speech" to stimulate the people's fighting spirit was an example for the sons and daughters of China to learn. Zhu Jianhua excitedly said: Yan Fu, as a milestone giant in the history of modern Chinese thought and culture, the application of Yan Fu's ideological knowledge is our best remembrance of Yan Fu, and he called for helping martial arts enter the Olympic Games to stimulate the fighting spirit of the whole people in the form of on-site inscriptions.

The motivation of the whole people in the three theme activities of helping martial arts to enter the Olympic Games is the practice of Applying Yan Fu's thought and learning.
