Chapter 65 Zhang Boling Goes Online

Faced with Little Six's doubts, Zhang Boling felt helpless besides being angry. He wanted to sit with him but felt it was inappropriate, so he searched for a document from the bookshelf behind him and brought it.

"That foreigner doesn't think much of our countrymen. I will deal with him later, and I promise to give the public an explanation. But little six, this North China Games is really not what Zhang said. That foreigner still has something to say. The truth is in there."

Little Six had some doubts, took the information and looked at him and said: "Although I was not very old at the time, I still remember that the first North China Games was initiated by the China-American Democratic League. For this purpose, three kinds of medals were specially made, so we don’t think it’s too important, right?”

Who is Zhang Boling?
A well-known patriotic educator, founder of Nankai series of schools, and the earliest advocate of Western drama and the Olympic Games, he is one of the most respected leaders in modern Chinese sports circles.

In his early years, he studied in the Beiyang Naval Academy and participated in the Sino-Japanese War.He actively advocated sports throughout his life. He participated in the preparation of the North China Games, the previous National Games and the Far East Games. He served as the president of the China Amateur Sports Federation, the first national sports organization in China, and later served as the honorary president of the China Sports Association.

But for such a well-known figure, it would take a lot of trouble to hold a regional sports meeting.

Recalling the scene of the initial preparations, Zhang Boling was full of bitter tears: "Anyone can say good things, but when applying for funds, each one ran faster than the other, and the funds were raised by American Shu Meigan and Hou Kelun of the Sports Competition Association, but even so It was still not enough, and it was finally made up after donations from American Welsh's film performance and Piccolo's piano performance."

"As the saying goes, 'Take advantage of other people's hands and eat others' short mouths', we are asking for others, and it is the same in this year."

Little Six was still a little unconvinced, and continued to ask: "Even so, it shouldn't be taken in full. At least the rules should be formulated according to our understanding."

"Little Six, just take a look at the information in your hand." Zhang Boling shook his head with a wry smile: "The organizers of this meeting are mostly Westerners, and no one in China is willing to participate except for a few enthusiastic ones. The education authorities neither pay attention to this, but Society in general is especially disregarded."

"If you want to kill a thief, you won't be able to recover."

Little Six was speechless, silently flipping through the documents in his hand.

Zhang Boling ignored him and paced back and forth: "Not only the North China Games, but the National Games are also hosted by the Peking Sports Competition founded by Americans. Crawling is a chore."

Historically, the May 1924th Movement not only launched the New Culture Movement, but also made great contributions to sports, making many people aware of the importance of sports sovereignty.From the first National Games, which was taken over by the YMCA, to the third in [-], except for the swimming and baseball competitions, which were still judged by foreigners, the rest of the referees and staff were all Chinese. The imperial system (code system) was uniformly changed to the metric system.

Looking at the detailed data on the file, Xiao Liuzi no longer dared to criticize blindly, and closed the notebook gently after a long time.

"Sir, it's Xiao Liu who made me rude, thank you for doing so much behind your back." Xiao Liu took out a bank note from his pocket and put it on the table: "This is a 1000 yuan bank note. Let's talk about it and wish you The North China Games was successfully held this time, and I hope to come to Fengtian to organize it later, and I will definitely go to support it.”

Little Six is ​​also secretly sorry, but the object is not the one in front of him, but the beauties in Jinmen.After finally coming from Fengtian, without a wife by my side, it is natural to make more friends of the opposite sex. The money I had was originally intended to be romantic, but now it is used here.

Of course there is no regret. If you don’t have enough money, you can just withdraw it later. Now you are young and energetic, and you don’t spend so much money. It’s just because you don’t like that foreigner and support your country’s sports cause.

The money is not for personal use, but for the North China Games. In addition, I have been to Fengtian many times to promote sports ideas, so I know the fortune of the Zhang family, so I accept it: "Then I will help the athletes." Ladies and gentlemen, thank you Liu Zi, your money can make our domestic sports industry take a small step forward, at least it can translate more athlete handbooks."

"Haha, sir, I'm overwhelmed." Little Six had always admired Zhang Boling, but he was a little embarrassed after this compliment: "I hope our sports meeting will be localized earlier, so that people like Mr. Dong will be less wronged."

Hearing this, Zhang Boling originally wanted to continue, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, frowning and walking quickly.

Little Six was very puzzled and asked, "Sir, what's the matter, do I need to avoid it?"

"No need." Zhang Boling stopped him.

"By the way, I remembered." Zhang Boling hammered the palm of his left hand with his right hand, and said happily: "It's not that there are no completely localized sports events in our country, and not a single foreigner participates, all are hosted by our own people, and the rules are formulated It’s up to us to make up our minds.”

Little Six's eyes widened: "Sir, tell me which sports meeting it is, what month it will be held, and where is it located? Is there a tennis match?"

Zhang Boling pointed to the west: "It's far away in the sky and right in front of us. Just after we finished the North China Games, the Spring Games prepared by Professor Cheng of Peking University kicked off."

It turned out that Cai Yuanpei was afraid that Cheng Nuo would suffer from being young, so after getting the sports meeting plan, he asked Zhang Boling to review it and let him see if there were any mistakes.

If it were another school, if it was just a school-level sports meeting, Zhang Boling would not take it seriously, but the problem is that this is Peking University, the leader of all universities in the country, and his reforms can always be imitated by other schools. The lifting of the women's ban in just one month has set off a wave. Now that the sports meeting is being held again and a knife is being used on it, it is hard not to attract attention.

In the plan, Cheng Nuo combined the experience of later generations and deliberately added exercise physiology and exercise psychology, which made Zhang Boling feel fresh and new.What shocked him the most was that Cheng Nuo's changes to the rules of various sports were very forward-looking. If the plan hadn't been brought in too late, and the North China Games was about to start, he would have to visit Cheng Nuo no matter what.

Little Six frowned slightly, thoughtfully: "Could it be that you are talking about the professor Cheng who was in the limelight a while ago?"

"Besides him, who else can be so knowledgeable." Talking about Cheng Nuo, Zhang Boling was full of praise: "Every time his name appears in my ears, it always improves my understanding, spanning mathematics and literature, and now It is hard to find two people in the world who can have such insights in physical education.”

Thinking of this, Zhang Boling sighed: "Unfortunately, Professor Cheng reformed too late, and Peking University has not made significant progress in sports. If it fails to participate in this North China Games, I am afraid that Tsinghua University will have to come out on top again this year."

Little Six was full of interest: "It's such a great talent, it's a pity that we can't see him. Sir, you should be busy with the North China Games first, and tomorrow I'll take the lead and find out about him."

In private, he was planning to prepare another 1000 yuan to support Peking University's sports meeting and tennis refereeing. His younger brother is also okay.
