The National Games are being held in Xi'an, many points to watch, some competitions feel more fierce than the Olympic Games, such as diving, such as table tennis, then when the Republic of China did there be a National Games?
When the Republic of China was in existence, there was a National Games, and it was held for seven sessions, and there were many stories in it.
The first session was held at the Nanyang Persuasion Association in Nanjing.
It was done by an American missionary, and in the end Shanghai won the first place.
However, the golden project of football is that the Guangdong team won the championship, in fact, this football is only compared to one game, that is, Guangdong is 1-0 ahead of Shanghai.
At that time, football was very popular in China, but table tennis was played very little at that time, and there was only table tennis in the last National Games of the Republic of China. At that time, Chinese football was also the first in the Far East, and during the Republic of China, China participated in the Ten Far East Games, and all the sports were basically not very good, but the Chinese men's football team won nine consecutive championships in addition to the first one.
At that time, the Japanese football team could not do it, the first international game of the Japanese team was to play with China, that is, the 1917 Far East Games, Japan was irrigated with a 0-5, and in the next ten years, the national football team won five consecutive victories against Japan, and the opponent scored 21 goals in five games. Chinese can be called the bitter lord of Japan. China has been invincible in recent years, but the overall record in history is almost the same, which shows that the previous advantages have been too great.
This also proves that the level of football is not necessarily related to the level of national development.
When this National Games was actually held, the Republic of China had not yet been established, and the Great Qing Dynasty had not yet died, so the athletes still had braids, but the first large-scale games, so it was posthumously considered the first National Games of the Republic of China.
The second National Games was held in 1914, Yuan Shikai was in power, so it was held in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, because of the turmoil of the times, so the athletes were not as good as the last time, less than a hundred people, not many people to watch, the heat was very low, and finally, the North District took the first place. Not many people go to other districts.
The Third National Games, held in Wuchang in 1924, was divided into east China, south China, west China, north China, central China and the five districts of Manila.
Now the National Games in Xi'an also have overseas Chinese, allowing overseas Chinese to participate in their personal capacity. In the past, there were overseas Chinese teams, including Malaysian overseas Chinese teams, Filipino overseas Chinese teams, and even Japan Kobe overseas Chinese teams. The taste of the Greater China Circle is very strong.
This is the first session organized by the Chinese, because the first two sessions were actually organized by foreigners. In the end, the North China team took the first place.
The fourth session, in 1930, was held in Hangzhou. Why is it held in Hangzhou, because this is jiang gong's base camp, so Jiang gong voted to hold it here, and by the way, he raised his prestige, so Jiang Gong, as the honorary president of the National Games, also delivered a speech. At that time, there were already pictorials, so they issued sports pictorials and published photo reports, which was also the first time that competitions were held in different provinces. Finally, Jiangsu is the first, Guangdong is the second, Hong Kong is the third, jiangsu should have the advantage of hosting.
At that time, there were also chess games, in which real people played chess pieces and listened to the password to move, so that the audience could see it from a distance.
At that time, Yang Xiuqiong, an athlete from Hong Kong, won all the women's swimming events.
Yang Xiuqiong was originally from Dongguan, Guangdong Province, and later moved to Hong Kong. At that time, the media gave her a nickname called Mermaid. As a result, the female boxers of the Republic of China stopped doing it, and published newspapers saying that our society is still a society that is not the same, and although some women have jumped out of prison, they still can't get rid of the status of enslavement and play. So the same player, the title won by the woman, what "fish" ah "shrimp", is this an honor, or a shame?
Therefore, the current female boxing masters are all little brothers, and the female boxing of the Republic of China is called inexplicable.
After she became famous at this National Games, she was considered a dry daughter by Song Meiling, and the limelight can be said to be higher than that of Quan Hongchan, another Guangdong female athlete now. There was even a lot of lace news, especially that Wang Jingwei, the chief executive at the time, often asked her out, going in and out of pairs, and as a result, after Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun knew about it, he slapped it down, and half of Wang Jingwei's face was red throughout the country. The next day, when the meeting was held, I thought that President Wang had just come down from the anti-Japanese front.
Yang Xiuqiong is beautiful and a famous lady in the social field, during the War of Resistance, she also went to Shanghai, once worked as an intelligence officer, and collected intelligence for the Japanese army.
Because she is famous and beautiful, the gossip magazines of the Republic of China often publish her gossip. The Republic of China gossip magazine has no bottom line, gossip, even the future Hong Kong tabloids are not as good as themselves, often for Yang Xiuqiong to compile various gossip. For example, she also knew Fan Shaozeng, the famous Chongqing Hal division commander.
The newspaper said that Yang Xiuqiong went to Chongqing to compete, was taken in by Fan Shaozeng, and forced Yang Xiuqiong to divorce her husband, and then married him, becoming Fan Shaozeng's 18th aunt. Anyway, there is a lot of such gossip news.
Later, Yang Xiuqiong married the horse racing master Tao Boling, who was known as the first jockey of the Northern Kingdom, a big handsome brother, and the two looked particularly compatible.
But the handsome man is also unreliable, this handsome man has a tendency to domestic violence, but also raises a little lover outside, and in the end, Yang Xiuqiong divorced him and immigrated to Canada.
This session, the most popular is this Yang Xiuqiong.
The Fifth National Games was held in Nanjing in 1933, when a special central gymnasium was built, which was particularly large, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres, which was originally planned to be held in 1931, but the September 18 Incident occurred and was delayed until 1933.
Therefore, at the closing ceremony, the northeast athletes at that time spoke and expressed the hope that the next National Games could be held at the Beiling Sports Ground in Shenyang. As soon as this was said, the audience applauded, many viewers still shed tears, the country was invaded, and the mountains and rivers lost their color. In the end, the people in the audience shouted the slogan of resisting Japan and saving the country and returning the mountains and rivers to me.
Later, the hope of running the next National Games in the northeast did not become a reality.
The sixth edition was held in Shanghai in 1935. This time, the Northeast team entered wearing black filial piety clothes, holding the black and white flag of the white mountains and black water, which reminded the Chinese people not to forget the three eastern provinces occupied by Japan.
This edition is considered the most successful.
There is a saying called the Golden Decade of the Republic of China, which is a major review of the Golden Decade of the Republic of China, so there are many spectators and the competition is also similar. But this is after all the urban landscape, these athletes are in the city, rural athletes are not, and many athletes are coming and going abroad to train, just like India now, the people who can compete are some rich families. Ordinary people can't eat enough, how to exercise, how to play.
Judging from the photos published in the magazine at that time, I think it is quite good. Whether it is the competition venue, the status of the competition, the award ceremony, it is all the same. It can be said that this represents the most glorious moment of the Republic of China era.
Since the fifth session, the biggest sponsor of the National Games of the Republic of China has been Coca-Cola.
The last, the seventh, was held in 1948, the most chaotic one.
At this time, the KMT had already shown defeat, but the KMT also hoped to boost its morale by holding such a national games. And last year just held the London Olympic Games, the first post-war Olympic Games, everyone is very excited about the Games, may also have the meaning of the Imminent Death of the Republic of China Rushing Joy, but Chong Xi rushed over, directly sent the Kuomintang to the island.
Finally scheduled to be done in Shanghai, the venue is Shanghai's Jiangwan Stadium, this stadium is still there, han baiyu's podium, known as the first stadium in the Far East, can sit 40,000 people.
However, there was no money when it was done.
At that time, the athletes' travel expenses were reimbursed by themselves, Shanghai did not care, the dormitory was mixed with men and women, because there were not so many places, female athletes had to use mosquito nets to make a wall to block, and then the dormitory did not have hot water supply, it can be said that it is a bitter haha sports meeting.
What to do if you don't have money, start with the audience. The ticket price of this National Games is extremely high, the combined ticket price is four million, the most popular is women's swimming, I don't know why this ticket is the most expensive, half a million. Of course, prices had already taken off by then, and in the end, tickets circled 28 billion. Spectators also have to buy tickets to go to the toilet, there are poop tickets, urinal tickets. The choice is yours. Toilet paper also costs money.
Then all kinds of advertisements, Coca-Cola is still the first endorsement, because of the amount of money given, the venue specially made four large flagpoles to hang the flag of Coca-Cola, which was higher than the flag at that time.
One billion of these four flags is four billion.
Anyway, I didn't let Shanghai pay much money, so I did this meeting.
After the office was done, various politicians squeezed inside, a bit like the last supper, and they all wanted to join in the fun. The president was Zhu Jiahua, then Minister of Education, and the vice president was Wu Guozhen, then Mayor of Shanghai. Of course, Jiang Gong, who has more than a thousand titles, cannot be absent and serve as the honorary president of the conference.
Jiang Gong said that this is the return of the northeast and the first time that Taiwan has participated in the games of the motherland, and in terms of significance, there are also many in the history of Chinese sports.
Other dignitaries, such as Li Zongren Sun Ke, and so on have been named, and even du Yuesheng, the big brother of the gang, has also served as an adviser, and some people say that Du Yuesheng is the most suitable security supervisor for the conference. Why not do this. Because of the security problems of this National Games, even Du Yuesheng could not be balanced.
This time, in addition to the provincial teams, there are also national troops, such as the army, the navy, the air force, and the police force.
Du Yuesheng was okay in charge of the provincial team, and it was estimated that it would be enough for him to manage the police representative team, not to mention the various army representative teams.
Later, the problem was the police team and the army team.
Take, for example, the most important football game.
The air force against the Zhejiang team, kicking and kicking, into a fight, three air force players are not as good as people, simply started, against a Zhejiang team member began to beat. Song Meiling's Guards Army, the formation of the Divine Strategy Army, was extremely effective.
Encouraged by the army's attack, the combat effectiveness of the participating teams was directly improved.
Shanghai vs. Dalian, Dalian team because of frequent penalties, under the extreme, directly boxed the referee, the result was disqualified, in addition to the cancellation of Dalian team's next term of qualifications, but also to compensate for medical expenses, but also criminal prosecution. For the Dalian team, there is only one good news, that is, there is no next National Games.
Nanjing has an old tradition of disobeying Zhou to Hubei and Hubei, dissatisfied with the referee, and directly started, resulting in the game not being completed.
Seeing that the game was so unsafe, the football referees collectively resigned and asked for safety, and it turned out that they were still too young and the main team of military and police had not yet played.
By the final round, it was no surprise that the four players were the Army and Police, the other two were the host Shanghai, and the traditional football powerhouse Hong Kong.
The game was full of suspense.
In the first round, the Army won over Shanghai, 2-0, and the Shanghai team played very restrained, after all, there were Army soldiers with guns on the sidelines.
Hong Kong drew with the police team, 1-1, indicating that Hong Kong was a bit ignorant and dared to score.
In the second round, the Shanghai team withdrew collectively, on the grounds that the costumes were not ready, this reason is too far-fetched, you are going to play football, not to go to the catwalk, take the clothing as an excuse, do you respect the ball. Hindsight speculated, in fact, for personal safety, the opposite is the police force, and leveled Hong Kong, the police are inevitable, in order not to touch this moldy head, Shanghai understands the scriptures, the rapids retreat.
The poor Hong Kong team did not realize the seriousness of the problem and was ready to play the Army according to the rhythm of the match against the police team.
As a result, at the beginning of the game, the Hong Kong team warmed up, did not notice that the Army organized a soldier spectator group, and did not find that these spectators were entering with guns.
The Hong Kong team was dominant and quickly took the lead, 2-0.
The Army finally played its true colors, first accusing the Hong Kong team of fouls, and when it was not approved by the referee, an Army player directly kicked the referee's ass, which ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and there was a constant sound of pulling the bolt in the audience, and some people shouted, "Shoot the referee", "Shoot the machine gun and hit them". The army leader also pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the referee, "Give you another chance, will you blow?" The referee finally understood the spirit and finally declared the match null and void. The reason is that some people in the Hong Kong team have repeatedly played. Anyway, there was no video replay at that time, otherwise, take this video out to the cinema to play, how to take the box office champion.
In the last game, the police team against the army, at that time, afraid of accidents, the Shanghai police commander and the police chief sat on the spot, and because the referee collectively boycotted, after all, there would be no referee who was not afraid of death, and finally the leader of the assembly referee team personally blew it. Originally thought that this field was Mars hitting the earth, the result of Mars cherishing the earth, the earth also cherished Mars, the two teams played the characteristics of the national army, played a zero-to-zero.
In this circle, Hong Kong, the Army, and the Police have the same points, and after consultation, all three are champions, and only Shanghai is too knowledgeable to give up the competition, so there is no ranking. The final loser turned out to be the host, Shanghai.
This National Games can be imagined how chaotic, after the game statistics, in the 11 days of the event, a total of 1761 light and seriously injured people need to be treated, the national army finally achieved blood staining the battlefield.
After the conference, Wang Yunsheng, editor-in-chief of Shanghai's Ta Kung Pao, said: "There will be two feelings about this national games: one is poor, and the other is fierce. Everybody tried their best to get the money... The clamor of money, from the entrance tickets to the hut toilet paper... In addition to being poor and fierce, the audience beat the audience, the athletes beat the referee, and protested, which was really chaotic. ”
On May 16, 1948, four months after the end of the congress, the People's Liberation Army launched three major battles and began a strategic decisive battle.
However, the next time Taiwan Province participates in the National Games, it will not have to wait another hundred years since 1948.
