Preface
Respect and inclusion are essential values in any international setting. However, sometimes some controversies and misunderstandings can also create disagreements and tensions.
For example, in one of the international events, the organizers forbade the flying of the Chinese flag for some reason and threatened not to mention it.
This move has undoubtedly attracted widespread attention and discussion, especially for athletes who love their country, it is undoubtedly a provocation and insult. As a result, the mainland athletes resolutely decided to withdraw en masse in protest. However, it doesn't end there......
So, how will our country respond to such predicaments and challenges, and will our athletes abandon their beliefs and principles?
1. The origin and development of pole dancing
Pole dancing, a unique dance form, has gradually attracted the attention and love of the general public in recent years. Although there are various theories about its origins, each one reveals the deep cultural heritage and historical context behind pole dancing.
According to historical sources, pole dancing may have originated in primitive tribes in the 12th century as a dance form for fertility worship. However, a more widely accepted theory is that it originated from American construction sites in the late 19th century.
At that time, the workers, armed with steel pipes, entertained their bodies and minds with dancing and singing in their spare time, showing the optimistic spirit of the American nation.
This primitive pole dance is therefore regarded as one of the top ten folk dances in the world.
However, the development of pole dancing has not been without its challenges. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the bursting of the economic bubble in the United States, pole dancing was gradually introduced into pornography, combined with striptease, as a means of livelihood.
As a result, pole dancing was considered synonymous with pornography for a long time.
However, over time, pole dancing gradually shed this stigma.
Especially in the 80s of the 20th century, when stars such as Madonna showed pole dancing skills on stage, this dance form began to attract more attention and love. In the 21st century, pole dancing has developed rapidly, not only in the United Kingdom and other European countries, but also in the world.
Today's pole dancing is no longer a simple erotic dance, but an art that integrates jazz dance, modern dance, Latin dance and other dance genres. It combines acrobatics, rhythmic gymnastics, fitness and other elements to become a new type of fitness.
In general, although the origin of pole dancing is full of controversy, its development is a process of continuous metamorphosis and sublimation. From the initial construction site entertainment, to the later erotic dance, and then to the fitness art today, every step has witnessed the historical changes and cultural connotations of pole dancing.
2. The development of pole dancing in China
Modern China has made remarkable achievements in the field of pole dancing, especially in international competitions, which shows the strength and charm of Chinese pole dancing.
Chinese players have achieved remarkable results in the International Pole Dance Championships.
For example, at the International Pole Dancing Championships in Hong Kong, Li Binger won the men's championship with his exquisite skills and perfect expressiveness.
He demonstrated the perfect combination of strength and beauty through pole dancing, which won unanimous praise from the audience and the judges.
In addition, He Shuiqing also won the pole dance championship in the International Dance Challenge.
With a pole dance "Chinese Knot" full of ethnic style, she stood out from contestants from all over the world and won honor for China.
He Shuiqing's performance not only demonstrated the superb skills of Chinese pole dancers, but also conveyed the unique charm of Chinese culture to the world.
In addition to the brilliant achievements of individual players, the Chinese team has also achieved excellent results in international competitions. In some group pole dancing competitions, the Chinese team won high recognition from the judges and the audience for its uniform movements, creative choreography and excellent teamwork, and successfully won the crown.
The winning of these awards not only proves the competitiveness of Chinese pole dancers on the international stage, but also highlights the continuous improvement of China's pole dance education, training and creative level.
China's achievements in international pole dancing competitions have not only enhanced the status and influence of Chinese pole dancing in the world, but also injected new impetus into the international development of Chinese dance culture.
3. The Fiorentina match is currently disputed
The International Pole Dancing Championships is a high-profile and important event that brings together the best pole dancers from around the world to showcase the charm and uniqueness of pole dancing on this stage.
This event not only tests the skills and physical fitness of the contestants, but also a contest of creativity and art.
Every year, the competition attracts thousands of spectators, who cheer and cheer for the wonderful performances of the contestants, and witness the glory and growth of the sport of pole dancing.
In 2016, at the Florence International Pole Dancing Championships, an incident occurred that made all Chinese outrageous - the organizers banned the flying of the Chinese flag. This incident not only touched the bottom line of the dignity of the Chinese people, but also sparked extensive discussions at home and abroad about the fairness of international competitions and respect for national symbols.
At that time, pole dancers from all over the world gathered in Florence to compete for the glory of this international competition.
However, before the official start of the competition, the Chinese players discovered an incredible fact - although the national flags of the other participating countries were already neatly hoisted in the venue, the five-star red flag representing China's honor did not appear in it.
The Chinese contestants immediately asked the organizers to hoist the national flag, but the response was all kinds of excuses and delays.
In the preliminary round, the Chinese players conquered the audience and the judges with their outstanding performances, but the resentment in their hearts did not dissipate. They understand that the national flag is not just a flag, it represents the dignity and honor of the country and is the most direct symbol of every country in international occasions.
When the final day arrived, the Chinese players decided to take action when they found that there was still no sign of the five-star red flag on the venue.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Chinese players collectively withdrew from the competition.
They used this action to express their dissatisfaction and protest to the organizers, and also showed the world that the Chinese players adhere to the dignity of the country. The incident quickly attracted widespread media attention at home and abroad, with public opinion condemning the organizers' practices and calling for respect for the national symbols of each participating country.
Although this incident brought regret and loss to the Chinese athletes, it also inspired the unity and fighting spirit of the Chinese pole dancing community. The Chinese pole dancers proved the status and value of Chinese pole dancing on the international stage with their strength and actions.
They not only strengthen their training and improve their skills in China, but also actively participate in international exchanges and show the style of Chinese pole dancing.
4. The organizer tries to cover his mouth
Seeing such an arrogant and rude attitude of the organizers, the mainland dancers were deeply indignant, and they quickly posted the matter on the Internet.
For a while, major social media platforms have reprinted it, causing widespread attention and heated discussions. With the rapid spread of the Internet, this matter has attracted the attention of many people at home and abroad. Seeing that the situation was out of control, the organizers began to take strong measures, threatening the dancers on the mainland, asking them not to make the matter public, in an attempt to cover up the truth.
However, the voice of justice will not be easily suppressed, and mainland dancers resolutely defend their rights and refuse to succumb to the threats of the organizers. At the same time, they also actively contacted the media, hoping to expose this matter and let more people know the truth. Although the organizers forbade the media to report on the incident, the truth of the matter was finally revealed to the world.
Looking back on this incident, we should not only remember the firmness and courage of the Chinese athletes, but also reflect on the importance of national dignity and symbols in international competitions. Every country should be treated equally and respected, which is the most basic principle of international competitions. At the same time, we should also be proud of the rise and progress of China's pole dancing industry, and believe that in the future on the international stage, Chinese pole dancing will continue to shine.
Netizens have supported the tough attitude of Chinese athletes.
In the end, under pressure from many parties, the organizers of the tournament belatedly apologized, saying that the farce was due to cultural differences. Netizens said they did not accept such an apology.
Finally, I believe that if there is discrimination or unfair treatment against a country in an international event, then such behavior is unacceptable and should be condemned and corrected. All nations should be treated equally, and their dignity and honor should be respected and protected. In the international arena, all countries should respect each other and treat each other as equals, and jointly promote the process of world peace and development.
