Start with a good PE class

The Ministry of Education recently released the key points of work in 2022, which proposes to practice the concept of health first, hold the first China Youth Football League, and prepare for the first National Student (Youth) Games. This is an important signal that the state attaches more importance to school physical education.

For some time, physical education has been a shortcoming of the mainland education system, which is reflected in many aspects. For example, some school physical education classes can not be attended, and they are crowded out by so-called main courses such as language numbers; some schools lack the necessary venues to carry out sports activities. In addition, some schools have reduced physical education classes and sports activities to control safety risks.

This situation must change as soon as possible. The mainland has set the goal of building a "sports powerhouse" by 2035, and General Secretary Xi Jinping has clearly called for "opening up a full physical education class". Sports has become a landmark cause of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and physical education is not optional, but related to the happiness of the people and the future of the nation.

For the all-round development of human beings, sports are the cornerstone. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in his article "Research on Sports" published in 1917 that "morality and wisdom are all in the body, and no body is no morality and wisdom." Without a strong physique, virtue and wisdom are the flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, and the beauty and labor will also flow into the slender and weak faction, and it is impossible for people to truly develop in an all-round way.

Sport connects the body and the spirit. In "Research on Sports", Comrade Mao Zedong believes that the effect of sports lies in "strengthening bones and bones", "increasing knowledge", "adjusting emotions" and "strengthening will". Sports can not be simply understood as activities, sports can strengthen the body, but also can strengthen the spirit, so that people's will can be exercised, personality can be sound. The body is weak, and the spiritual "painting style" cannot be robust. Historically, whenever the martial arts flourished, the people's spirit must be full of vitality and full of positive progress.

If the youth is strong, the country is strong, and if the sports are strong, China is strong. The construction of a strong country and the rejuvenation of the nation require arduous efforts, strong spiritual strength, and generation after generation of people to struggle for it. The physique of young people is related to the future of the country, and the revitalization of sports is related to the national fortune and the spirit of the nation. To fight for the Chinese dream, you need a tenacious spirit and a good body.

Starting from a good physical education class, barbarizing its physique and civilizing its spirit. Teenagers should take good school physical education classes, and everyone should also take good physical education classes.
