rebirth of change

The information of the Olympic bid committee was conveyed through Liu Deyi. Since Chen Kangjie's phone number was not disclosed to the public under normal circumstances, Liu Deyi could only be used as an intermediate bridge.In fact, it may not be that no one in the Olympic bid committee knows Chen Kangjie's contact information, but if they want to respect Chen Kangjie, they can only follow the procedure.

As the first stop for external publicity before the Olympic bid, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, was chosen.

Iphitus, the ruler of the Peloponnese from 776 BC to 388 BC (the founder of the ancient Olympic Games), worked hard to combine religion and athletic competition.He not only innovated religious ceremonies, but also organized large-scale sports competitions and events, and decided to hold them every four years.The time is set after the summer solstice of the leap year.Therefore, the ancient Olympic Games in 776 BC was officially recorded in history and became the first ancient Olympic Games.There were only three countries participating in the first ancient Olympic Games - Peloponnese, Easley, and Sparta.At that time, there was only one competition event, that is, running on a field with a distance of 1.' meters.

The ancient Greeks stipulated in 776 BC to hold a sports meeting in the Olympics every four years. The reason was for peace and to show respect for the Olympic gods (that is, Zeus and other gods in ancient Greek mythology).At that time, each city-state had its own method of counting years, and there was no common era.But the most important annual event among the city-states is the Greek Games.There are four of these games: the Olympic Games, the Pythian Games, the Nemean Games and the Isthmian Games.These four games, headed by the Olympic Games, were held in four locations in sequence, forming a four-year cycle called the Olympic cycle (olympiad), which became a method of calculating years between city-states.

During the Games, athletes from all over Greece and nearby people gathered in Olympia, a beautiful town in southern Greece.When the first Olympic Games was held here in 776 BC, Dorian Cross won the championship in the 192.'m sprint competition, becoming the first person to win the first laurel of the first event in the International Olympic Games.Later, the scale of the ancient Greek Games gradually expanded and became a grand event to display the national spirit. The winners of the game were awarded laurel, wild olive and palm woven wreaths, etc.

From 776 BC to 394 AD, after 1170 years, three sessions of the ancient Olympic Games were held.The Olympic Games were banned by Roman Emperor Theodosius I in AD 3.

There are many legends about the origin of the ancient Olympic Games. (heracles) related.Hercules was nicknamed "Hercules" because of his incredible strength.He completed tasks that ordinary people could not complete in the city-state of Elis, and within a short time he cleaned up the king's cowshed full of cow dung, but the king did not want to present him with 300 cows, so Hercules drove the king away in a fit of anger.To celebrate driving away the stingy king, he held a grand games at the Olympics.Hence the Olympic Games.

After the Roman Empire ruled Greece, although games were still held at first, Olympia was not the only place for competitions.For example, in the 80th Olympic Games in 175 BC, those in power in Rome called outstanding athletes to compete in Rome, while Olympia only held the junior competition.At this time, professional athletes have begun to appear in large numbers, and the Olympic Games have become a competition for professional players, and the Greeks have lost interest in it.After the 2nd century AD, Christianity ruled the whole of Europe including Greece, advocated asceticism, advocated the separation of body and soul, and opposed sports.In 393 AD, Roman Emperor Theodosius I declared Christianity as the state religion, believing that the ancient Olympic Games violated the teachings of Christianity and was a pagan activity, and announced the abolition of the ancient Olympic Games the following year.In 1 AD, the Byzantines and the Goths had a fierce battle on the Alpheus River, which destroyed all the facilities in Olympia.In 395 AD, Theodosius II burned down the remnants of the Olympian buildings.Olympia was completely destroyed by two strong earthquakes in 426 and 2 AD.Since then, the ancient Olympic Games, which had been postponed for more than 511 years, ceased to exist, and the prosperous Olympia became a ruin.

Beginning in the 15th century, educators began to advocate a happy and healthy lifestyle. In the 17th century, the British John Locke's "Gentlemen's Education" proposed morality, intelligence, and physical fitness, and the Frenchman Jean-Jacques Rousseau suggested learning through games.In 1776 AD, British archaeologists discovered the ruins of the ancient Olympic Games during their survey. From 1875 to 1881, the German Curtius excavated the unearthed artifacts at the Olympia site, which aroused worldwide interest. In 1858, Greece issued the "Olympic Decree", and held the first Panhellenic Olympic Games in Athens on October 1859, 10.

In July 1889, at the International Athletics Congress held in Paris, France, the French educator Pierre de Coubertin (in), who was later honored as the "Father of the Olympics", first publicized his idea of ​​resuming the Olympic Games . In January 7, as the secretary-general of the Federation of French Athletics Associations, Coubertin sent invitations to almost every sports organization and club in the world to participate in the competition held at the Sorbonne Theological Institute in Paris, France on June 1891, 1. International Sports Congress, this meeting is the first Olympic Congress.1894 representatives from 6 sports organizations in 16 countries attended the meeting. At that time, Coubertin became the first secretary-general of the International Olympic Committee.Through the resolution to revive the Olympic Games, the first "Olympic Charter" initiated and formulated by Coubertin was adopted.It involves the basic purposes, principles and other related matters of the Olympic Movement. On June 9, the General Assembly passed a resolution to establish the International Olympic Committee, and June 37 became "International Olympic Day" (pic day).Coubertin drafted the constitution of the International Olympic Committee, expounded the philosophical foundation, educational and aesthetic significance of the Olympic movement, laid the theoretical foundation of the Olympic movement, and made the Olympic movement develop into a lasting sports and peace movement.This meeting marked the birth of the modern Olympic Movement.Coubertin is known as the "father of modern Olympics".

As the Republic's first Olympic bid ambassador, even though Chen Kangjie is not unfamiliar with the Olympic Games, he dutifully found some materials to study, so as not to make a fool of himself at critical moments. The work he did was to represent a city. One country, one nation.

Chen Kangjie didn't know how those Olympic bid ambassadors in the original history helped the capital to do the bidding and publicity work, and he didn't know whether they chose Greece as their first stop.According to the history of the Olympic Games, Chen Kangjie thought that they chose Greece as the first stop, which should have the meaning of pilgrimage and memory of this holy land.The source of the ancient Olympic Games was in Greece, and the first modern Olympic Games was held in Greece, and because the first modern Olympic Games were held in Greece, the first president of the International Olympic Committee was not the French Coubertin, but Greek Vikelas.

Taking these factors into consideration, the Olympic Bidding Committee will choose Greece as the first stop for external publicity, just to show its respect for the Olympic spirit, review and respect for the history of the Olympic Games.Of course, choosing this place also means that there are Greeks among the members of each Olympic Committee, which can be regarded as the first shot in the competitive support vote.

After receiving this request, Chen Kangjie immediately called the Olympic Bidding Committee. Since May Day is a holiday, he decided to fulfill his duties as an Olympic Bidding Ambassador and go to Athens with the Olympic Bidding Delegation.

It was also on the phone that he knew how much the Olympic bid committee cared for him.

After the hard work and hard work of many staff members, the complicated documents for the Olympic bid have been compiled. As for the promotional film for the Olympic bid, it was finalized by Chen Kangjie himself in mid-April.From the beginning of April to mid-April, Director Zhang flew back and forth from the capital to Qianzhou five times. Each time, he asked Chen Kangjie for his opinion on the content of the reshoots, and at the same time asked Chen Kangjie's thoughts on editing, color and soundtrack.Because there is no room for sloppiness in this matter, Chen Kangjie also finalized the draft after discussing with Director Zhang and deliberating carefully several times. The English translation content in the promotional film was written by Chen Kangjie himself.

After this promotional film was shown to the officials of the Olympic Bidding Committee, everyone expressed their satisfaction. The evaluation was majestic, exquisite and meticulous, and it fully demonstrated our national culture, national spirit and our sincerity in bidding for the Olympic Games. and determination.Those foreigners who have watched this propaganda film, even those who have never been to China, will have a new understanding of today's China.Coupled with the fact that at the end of the promotional video, Long's name was added, I believe not many people would feel bad about it.Perhaps the reason why those officials are satisfied is also due to this factor. Otherwise, there are 1 Hamlets in the eyes of 1 people, how can they judge one thing so uniformly.

Just because the preparations have been done, according to the plan of the Olympic bid committee and the results of communication with Greece, it should wait until the Labor Day holiday is over before starting.It was because Chen Kangjie would not be able to determine the time after the holiday that he moved the date forward.In order to accommodate him alone, basically everyone can only contribute their own vacations.How can Chen Kangjie shrink back when others have taken care of him to such an extent?Of course, you can only sacrifice your holiday and leisure life.

It's not bad, Chen Kangjie has never been to the country of Greece, so going this time can be regarded as a rare trip.
