Liu Wei, who has won the table tennis world championship seven times, gave a speech at the high-level forum of humanities and sports held by Peking University on the 22nd, combined with his own practice, interpreted the code of sports and education integration, and believed that sports and education integration in China is ushering in a new era.

After retiring from the Chinese table tennis team, Liu Wei completed his undergraduate to doctoral studies at Peking University, taught in the Peking University table tennis team, taught at Peking University, and participated in the establishment of the Peking University Table Tennis Club team, etc., and made useful explorations on the road of sports and education integration.

The integration of sports and education is conducive to enhancing the strength of China's competitive sports

Liu Wei said: "On June 6, 2015, after the defense of my doctoral thesis, on the way home, I thought, from 1999 to Peking University Law School undergraduate, to the Department of Psychology (now Peking University School of Psychology and Cognitive Science) master's degree, and then to the School of Education Doctoral graduation, how many years have I spent? One counts as 16 years. In addition, in his sports career, he won the world championship seven times, which also took 16 years. ”

"When I was studying at Peking University, I had the idea of combining sports and education. When I was a sophomore, I realized that through the professional sports training of the national team, the best physical state and technical state can be achieved, that is, the best competitive state can be achieved; through education and learning, the understanding of sports can be more profound, and the best ideological and psychological state can be achieved. If an athlete can perfectly unify these states and burst out in one game, it must be the king's style. ”

She said: "Although I have won seven world championships myself, I still haven't played the ball clearly in my career as an athlete. Through Peking University's study and explaining the World Series on CCTV, I began to think about and explain the ball clearly. I have experienced that if physical training and education and learning can be organically combined, it will certainly create good results and will certainly extend the sports life of athletes. ”

Liu Wei gave the example of Xu Yuhua, a world chess champion who also studied at Peking University. "One day, she asked me if she wanted to participate in that year's World Cup? I was adamant that I must participate. At that time, I told Xu Yuhua that I believe that after studying at Peking University, your 'chess path' and 'chess style' will definitely be very different from before. ”

"Because through learning, our grasp of victory and defeat, our perception of winning and losing, etc., are very different from before." Although people are still that person, through learning, our mental and psychological states will surely tend to be perfect and more mature. Competing as a professional athlete used to be like walking on a canoe bridge. And now we are 'walking on two legs', not only to study hard, but also to study the game, to be able to win without fear of losing, the game will certainly show the highest state of competitive sports. ”

As a result, after Xu Yuhua participated, he not only won the individual World Cup championship, but also won a good result in the team competition with his teammates. The thunder of the Chinese fencing team also won the Olympic gold medal during his studies at Peking University. After retiring from the army, gymnast Li Ning successfully created an excellent national brand in the sports industry after further studying at Peking University. ”

From the combination of sports and education to integration, we need to dare to be the first

Liu Wei said: "After graduating from Peking University, I stayed on to work. Peking University has always had the spirit of daring to be the first in the world, and has also dared to innovate in cultivating talents. It was inspired by these spirits that we founded the Founder Table Tennis Club of Peking University. The club explores the combination of sports and education with a new mechanism to cultivate outstanding sports students. The one-stop talent training model of 'reading while playing ball' can enable more children with athletic talents to grow up in an all-round way. The combination of sports and education is not only conducive to the development of school physical education and the improvement of students' physical fitness, but also conducive to improving the overall quality of outstanding athletes and future re-employment. ”

Liu Wei has successively published articles such as "Exploring the Road of Combining Sports and Education and Innovating the Development Model of Sports", and also undertaken topics such as "Research on the Cultivation of High-level Competitive Talents by Combining Education and Sports". In order to further improve her learning, practice and research skills, she went to Peking University school of education in 2010 to pursue a doctorate.

Dr. Liu Wei's research direction is the theoretical research of the combination of sports and education. Leading a table tennis school team is a practical exploration of sports and education combined with talent training. This special experience allows her to better combine theoretical research and practical exploration.

Liu Wei said: "In the process of combining sports and education to integrating sports and education, I pay attention to tapping the sports potential of athletes and using the advanced concepts, advanced technologies and advanced consciousness of the Chinese table tennis team to build their strengths. In the process, I often have the happiness of being nurtured by the world's talents and enjoy it. I am very proud of the excellent results achieved by the students. They not only cast brilliance with hard work, but more importantly, they have the sportsmanship that accompanies them for a lifetime. ”

"The practice of these years has made me realize that we must not only do a good job in teaching and theoretical research, but also strive to assume social responsibility and do a good job in public welfare." Every year, I lead the students of the school team to participate in public welfare activities, such as going to Shandong to alleviate poverty, feeling the spirit of Hongqiqu, and entering community exchange competitions. Through participating in these public welfare activities, we cultivate builders and successors who are red and professional and have a sense of socialist responsibility. ”

Liu Wei said that he is making a sixteen-year plan for the third stage of his life. "At this stage, I have made life plans for myself, one is to firmly establish the concept of health is the first education concept, to contribute the greatest strength to the fitness of the whole people and the healthy growth of young people; the second is to continue to do a good job in teaching and educating people as a physical educator and to cultivate people's own work; the third is to create progress in the integration of sports and education; the fourth is to continue to spread table tennis culture through television explanations and other methods; fifth, to compile relevant teaching materials for table tennis courses to educate people for the party and the country."
