Beijing News (reporter Qi Wang) "Dear students, the Olympic champion called you to physical education class! On the evening of August 16, Sun Yat-sen University released a video of "Champion Class" on the official Weibo. In the upcoming new semester, Sun Yat-sen University will offer four "champion classes" in taekwondo, badminton, aerobics and swimming.

"Pay equal attention to both intellect and body, strong physique, sports power, struggle with me."

According to the WeChat public account of Sun Yat-sen University, Luo Wei joined sun yat-sen university as a teacher in 2013. In the new semester, Luo Wei will open a public physical education class in taekwondo for freshmen at the South Campus of Sun Yat-sen University. A sophomore student who took the taekwondo course told the Beijing News reporter that at that time, the level of the classmates was different, there were black belt students, and there were many students like her who had not yet started.

"Mr. Luo is more strict in class, but he also takes care of us who are not from the professional background, and tells us a lot of taekwondo etiquette. One of the more impressive things was that during the final examination, my belt was wrongly tied and I was deducted points..." The student recalled that Luo Wei once jokingly told the classmates in the class, "When you meet me on campus, you must do the standard taekwondo salute to greet me." ”

On August 17, Yang Yilin also forwarded Sun Yat-sen University's Weibo, saying that "I hope everyone will gain in physical education class." On the same day, she told the Beijing News reporter that she was in the third trimester of pregnancy and was about to become a mother.

According to information released by Sun Yat-sen University, Yang Yilin joined the school in 2020 as a physical education teacher. During her studies in Beijing, Yang Yilin once gave a lecture on the theme of "sports people" as the core content in colleges and universities. In the future, Yang Yilin's research focuses on how to better carry out physical education in colleges and universities. According to the Beijing News, in 2015, Yang Yilin said that she hoped to return to Guangdong as a physical education teacher in the future.

A sophomore student at Sun Yat-sen University who had taken Yang Yilin's aerobics class in 2020 told reporters that the content of this course is very basic, mainly to arouse students' interest in aerobics. Therefore, the curriculum is often interspersed with creative fitness games, "After Teacher Yang teaches a set of actions, he will let everyone form their own teams and arrange formations." Teacher Yang never mentioned the Olympic champion in class, she was very kind, feeling like a sister next door. She also insisted on exercising after she became pregnant, and she was self-disciplined and excellent, which was our role model. ”

A graduate of Sun Yat-sen University told reporters, "No matter which champion class, it is very difficult to grab, basically 'no seconds'." But I was lucky to grab it, and I usually like to joke with others and say, 'My sport is taught by the world champions'. ”
