Original title: 2024 Sports Teaching Volunteer Service Sports Stars Entering Campus Event Held
Workers’ Daily Client, June 14 (Workers’ Daily-China Workers’ Network reporter Liu Bing) “I like physical education the most!” “I played basketball with Jiang Weize today!” “I especially like martial arts. I was super happy to hear that Chai Yunlong was coming. I felt like I was finally meeting my idol. I started looking forward to his physical education class two or three days ago. Martial arts can not only strengthen the body but also protect oneself. I want to learn from him the most.”
On June 13, the excited words of young students echoed in many places across the country. On this day, the 2024 Sports Teaching Volunteer Service Sports Stars Entering Campus Event of the State Sports General Administration was held. 50 national champions, world champions, Olympic champions and entertainment stars in basketball, volleyball, track and field, gymnastics, badminton, martial arts and other events took physical education classes with more than 10,000 primary and secondary school students from eight provinces and regions including Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Jiangxi, Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, participated in the popularization and promotion of sports events, spread the spirit of sports, went to sports schools in various places, planted the seeds of love and participation in sports in the hearts of children, and helped them enjoy fun, strengthen their physique, improve their personality and temper their will in physical exercise.
The sports teaching volunteer service is led by the Youth Department of the General Administration of Sport of China. By building a grassroots practice platform, it guides college student volunteers, outstanding athletes, and social sports organizations to go deep into primary and secondary schools at the grassroots level to help solve the problem of insufficient grassroots sports teachers. In 2024, the sports teaching volunteer service will select about 1,500 sports majors from 50 universities across the country as volunteers to go to nearly 500 primary and secondary schools across the country to carry out sports teaching work. The activity will last from April to December and benefit nearly one million students. Sports stars entering campuses is an important part of sports teaching volunteer services. Through the demonstration and leading role of sports stars, it will stimulate the interest of young people in participating in sports and promote the in-depth and practical sports teaching volunteer services.
“My sports story started in elementary school. I joined the school track and field team at the age of 7, and step by step became a city champion, provincial champion, and national champion. Participating in sports has taught me that competition is also a part of life. It makes us not afraid of difficulties, but stronger and more positive.” This is what national track and field champion Feng Lulu shared with teachers, students and volunteer teachers at the Chaoyang Middle School gymnasium in Chenggu County, Shaanxi Province.
On the 13th, such stories were repeated in Chenggu County, Shaanxi, Fanshi County, Shanxi, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia, Dunhua County, Jilin, Zhuoni County, Gansu, Enshi City and Xiantao City, Hubei, Yuexi County, Sichuan, and Chongyi County, Jiangxi. Sun Fuming, Jing Ruixue, Yin Jian, Peng Bo, Zhang Na, Li Xiaoshuang, Chai Yunlong, and Li Juan, these star-studded names, transformed into a 50-member “super luxurious” champion teaching team, taking physical education classes with the children and volunteer teachers, and feeling the power of sports.
Grabbing rebounds, pick-and-rolls, shooting, assists… At the basketball court of Jiangxi Guobu Middle School, CBA Guangdong Hongyuan Club athlete Du Runwang and volunteer teacher Zhang Linlin from Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics led the students in a 3V3 challenge match. Faced with the rare opportunity to compete with professional players, the students of Guobu Middle School were full of fighting spirit, and the cheers from the audience were endless.
Du Runwang said that it was meaningful to be able to participate in such an event. As an athlete, it is his responsibility to teach sports skills, spread sports culture, and let more children enjoy the fun of basketball. Zhang Linlin said that it was a rare opportunity to take classes with professional basketball players. It was a great experience. I believe that such open classes will be unforgettable for many people. “It’s like a dream to be able to get close to sports stars and play a game together.” Yuan Yuan, a seventh-grade student at Guobu Middle School, couldn’t hide her excitement after class. She said to her classmates while walking, “This class made me deeply feel Mr. Du’s concern for us. I hope I can be as good as him in the future!”
In order to welcome the arrival of the champion teaching team, various places also organized activities with local characteristics to amplify the effectiveness of sports teaching volunteer service activities.
In Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia and Chenggu County, Shaanxi Province, cultural and sports stars such as Zhang Na, Sun Fuming, Li Juan, Jing Ruixue, and Hu Lianxin took ideological and political courses together with teaching volunteers and local students.
In Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia, everyone listened to the stories of Ningcheng Gaoqiao and Songshan Chaihu Lanzi told by local veteran Red Army, veteran Party members and veteran soldiers, and learned about the strong revolutionary will and selfless sacrifice of the older generation of revolutionaries. In Chenggu County, Shaanxi, everyone went to the site of the Xiaohekou Conference, where Party members reviewed their oaths of joining the Party and carried out micro-lectures on “Building the Silk Road Dreams”, “Precious Textbooks” and “A Strong Youth Makes China Strong”.
Volleyball Olympic champion Zhang Na said that through ideological and political courses, she has gained a deeper understanding of my country’s revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture. As sports workers and educators, they must implement the fundamental task of cultivating morality and educating people, give full play to the educational function of sports, and strive to be good young people of the new era who have ideals, dare to take responsibility, can endure hardships, and are willing to work hard.
Not long ago, an article titled “Frisbee “Flies” into Daliang Mountain” triggered a “screen-sweeping” effect. Sports teaching volunteers brought novel and fashionable projects such as Frisbee to the depths of Daliang Mountain, such as Butuo County, Yanyuan County, and Yuexi County, allowing children to feel the unique charm of sports. During the event of sports stars entering campuses, Yuexi County, Sichuan Province, once again organized a Frisbee competition – champion teachers such as Yin Jian, Yang Jian, Dai Shiyi, and Chen Jiaqing played Frisbee with local students and opened the Frisbee League of Wenchang Primary School. Under the guidance of the teaching volunteers, the students of Wenchang Primary School were divided into two teams, holding Frisbees and throwing them to each other, having a lot of fun. “The long-awaited competition is finally here. It’s especially fun to play Frisbee with the champions. We challenge the champions and unite as one, hoping to defeat them.” Ji Pibudu, a fifth-grade student at Wenchang Primary School in Yuexi County, said.
Chongyi County in Jiangxi Province is a county supported by the General Administration of Sports. During this sports star campus event, in addition to designing open classes in physical fitness, basketball, martial arts, and badminton, star athletes represented by diving Olympic champion Peng Bo also promoted Chongyi County’s specialties such as Nansuanzao Cake and Chongyi Yangling Tea in various forms, to enhance the popularity of agricultural products, expand sales channels, help rural revitalization through sports, and spread positive energy of sports.
The relevant person in charge of the Youth Department of the General Administration of Sport of China said that the power of role models is infinite. The champions came to the school and to the children, telling everyone with their stories and personal experiences that sports are not far away. Everyone is a part of inheriting and carrying forward the Chinese sports spirit and building a strong sports country. It is hoped that through this event, young students and volunteers will be guided to establish lofty ambitions and contribute to the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation. It is also hoped that the connotation and extension of sports teaching volunteer services will continue to be expanded, and the comprehensive value and multiple functions of sports in the process of China’s modernization will be fully utilized.
