Yang Qian has recently become popular, and "Tsinghua Xueba", "China's first gold", "the strongest post-00s" and various labels have focused on her. As an athlete, she is successful; as a post-00s, she has also become the "child of others" in the mouths of countless parents; as a daughter, she has won the first gold hundreds or even tens of millions of rewards, and she is undoubtedly the pride of a family. So, why did Yang Qian succeed? Why is she the one who succeeds? In the author's opinion, all this is the result of the "combination of sports and education" model.
Yang Qian went to Tsinghua University's School of Economics and Management, not the School of Physical Education, so how did she get admitted? This is inseparable from the emphasis on sports in recent years by universities such as Tsinghua University. Because of her sports expertise, Yang Qian entered the Tsinghua High School in Beijing and also belonged to the Beijing candidates at the time of the college entrance examination. In 2018, Yang Qian took the Beijing General College Entrance Examination as a "special enrollment in culture and sports", and then successfully entered Tsinghua University. Yang Qian's project is shooting, and according to the regulations of Tsinghua University, shooting belongs to the A-class project, and only needs to be admitted to 65% of the second main line of the province to go to Tsinghua.
This is the model of combining sports and education, rather than the previous education model that culture and sports can only choose. In today's increasingly fierce competition for the college entrance examination, if you can go to a famous school through sports expertise, and if you can further improve the competitive strength in a famous school, then it is beneficial to the athletes themselves, the school and the country. As Yang Qian said on social media: "I just came to Japan during the summer vacation of the university and won a gold medal." Although there are some "Versailles", in the combination of sports and education, this effect should be achieved - learning cultural lessons and winning championships are not wrong. According to her classmates, Yang Qian's training time can only be arranged after class; during college, she has to complete 180 credits like other students to graduate. "Once when she went to Fujian to compete, she actually overslept and missed the train and had to buy it again..."
I don't know if Yang Qian's success will change parents' understanding of education, but at least let parents know that there is no insurmountable gap between physical education and learning culture classes, and sports practice well, just like Tsinghua! On the one hand, the significance of the combination of sports and education is that it guarantees a passage for further education, so that children who are interested in football and other sports can use this channel to become all-rounders; on the other hand, under this model, the base of young people participating in sports will become larger, which will undoubtedly promote the cultivation of sports talents in China.
In the combination of sports and education, Yang Qian's success can be copied because it is in line with the law. In the era when the argument that "physical education is a part of education" is becoming more and more popular, the combination of sports and education is bound to be the trend of future education development.
