On the first day of school in 2024, World Martial Arts Champion Yang Jianping came to Dongxiang Petrochemical Middle School in Gansu Province to bring a vivid martial arts and physical education lesson to the children, shouting "Young China Says" while the children practiced, injecting hope and vitality into the new year.
As we all know, at 23:59 on December 18, 2023, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in Jishishan County, Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province, causing casualties and damage to some infrastructure. As one of the representatives of the Chinese martial arts scene, Yang Jianping is also very concerned about the local situation, so he went to Dongxiang Petrochemical Middle School on the first day of the new year to share his experience along the way with the students of Petrochemical Middle School, and use the power of example to encourage students to overcome difficulties together.
Since Xi martial arts at the age of 13, Yang Jianping has worked hard and has the desire to fight for glory for his hometown and China in the ring. After winning the world championship, he set more sights on promoting the development of martial arts and took the initiative to assume social responsibility. Yang Jianping does not forget the multi-dimensional inheritance of Chinese martial arts fighting, in addition to creating the "Boxing Star Era" Fighting Club in his hometown to benefit the local people and enrich their cultural life, he has also held the "Boxing Star Era" World Fighting Extreme Series with international influence for many times, providing opportunities for professional athletes to show themselves, in addition, he is always concerned about the children in remote areas, this trip to Gansu is to let the children strengthen their physique, change their fate, and find a way to face the difficulties of life by imparting martial arts knowledge.
"Today, a classmate asked me why I want to practice martial arts, but in fact, the answer is different in different periods. In the beginning I just wanted to be stronger and able to beat my opponents, but then it became my dream to become a champion and I worked hard towards my goal every day. ”
In the past few years, Yang Jianping has vigorously promoted the "Great Martial Arts Concept", relying on his own appeal, comprehensively promoting the implementation of national fitness and the "Healthy China" strategy, and truly making martial arts an important carrier of national fitness: "The champion is not a person who will never be defeated, but a person who can stand up after being defeated." What is failure? Only giving up is the real failure. The winner in the end doesn't have to be the one who throws the heaviest punch, but it certainly has to be the one who can withstand the heavy blows and setbacks the most. ”
Although Yang Jianping has super high popularity and traffic on the Internet, and has gained more than 14 million fans on Douyin and Kuaishou, whether it is a short video of martial arts culture, a series of short videos of martial arts self-defense, a series of short videos to discourage uncivilized behavior, or daily training short videos, they have all received tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of popular models, but he also knows that there are still many children in the mountains whose living conditions are relatively difficult and the Internet penetration rate is also weak, so he relies on the way of transmitting offline fighting skills to bring the positive energy of martial arts" Leave no dead ends".
On the playground, the students accompanied Yang Jianping's instructions to swing punches and kick their legs, the movements were neat and standardized, sonorous and powerful, which made everyone's hearts surge with warmth, and also made Yang Jianping feel that the responsibility on his shoulders in the future was heavier: "Through the communication with the children, I felt the strong desire of the children in the mountains to read and learn Xi, and I want to pass on a kind of courage and perseverance to the children through my experience of Xi martial arts, and enhance their confidence and courage to overcome difficulties and move forward fearlessly." ”
Before leaving, Yang Jianping also said affectionately: "Students, whether it is studying Xi or life, it will not be smooth sailing. When you encounter difficulties, remember not to give up, all luck is the foreshadowing of hard work. Thanks to Xinhua News Agency and Sinopec News for their strong support! The "first lesson" of the new year, grow up with the children! In 2024, I wish the students strong growth and Xi progress!"
