The birth of the modern Olympic Movement The Olympic Movement rose in the era of capitalist industrialization in Europe. Relying on a solid social, economic, political and cultural foundation, it conforms to the needs of social development and the development trend of sports. It is a great social practice that human society began after entering industrial civilization, and its emergence has the following background.
Coubertin made the Olympic Movement a reality.
Coubertin, a French educator, is recognized as the founder of modern Olympics. He made outstanding contributions to the birth and development of the Olympic Movement. From 65438 to 0888, Coubertin became the Secretary-General of the Preparatory Committee for School Education and Sports in France. From 65438 to 0889, Coubertin represented France in the international sports training conference held in Boston, USA, and learned more about the trends of world sports. He believes that the development of modern sports is going international, and international sports should be promoted with the help of the experience and traditional influence of ancient Greek sports, so the idea of reviving the Olympic Games came into being. In order to realize this idea, Coubertin did a lot of work.
189 1 year, Coubertin founded Sports Review, which played a positive role in promoting the founding of the Olympic Games. From 65438 to 0892, Coubertin visited Europe to promote the Olympic ideal. In the same year165438+125 October, he made a famous speech at the meeting to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the French Federation of Sports Associations, and officially put forward the initiative to establish the modern Olympic Games for the first time. Coubertin said in his speech that the modern Olympic Games should aim at unity, peace and friendship like the ancient Olympic Games, but it should be more developed and innovative than the ancient Olympic Games. It should be open to all countries, all regions and all ethnic groups and held in turn around the world. Coubertin's initiative made the modern Olympic Games break through the boundaries between nations and countries from the very beginning, and it has a distinct international character. From 65438 to 0893, Coubertin held an international sports coordination meeting in Paris to unite people in the international sports field to discuss the establishment of the Olympic Games. The following year, he also wrote an open letter about his initiative, which was sent to sports clubs in many countries and received support from many sports clubs.
With the promotion of various international factors and Coubertin's unremitting efforts, all the preparations for the founding of the Olympic Games are finally ready. 1894 In June, at Coubertin's suggestion, representatives of 49 sports organizations from the United States, Britain, Russia, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece and other countries 12 participated in the international sports conference held at the Sorbonne Theological Seminary in Paris. During the meeting, 265,438+0 countries sent letters to express their support and congratulations to the meeting. The meeting adopted a resolution to establish the International Olympic Committee, and elected 15 members of the IOC 1 session from 79 official representatives. The General Assembly also decided that IOC members from the host country of the Olympic Games should serve as IOC presidents. As the first Olympic Games will be held in Athens, Greece on 1896, Greek member Vi Kailas was elected as the first president of the International Olympic Committee, and Coubertin was appointed as the secretary-general. The General Assembly stipulated that the Olympic Games should be held every four years, and adopted a resolution to follow "amateur sports". The Congress also stipulated that the Olympic Games should include track and field, water sports, swimming, rowing, sailing, fencing, wrestling, boxing, equestrian, shooting, gymnastics and ball games.
1 From April 6 to April 5, 896,1The modern Olympic Games was finally held in Athens as scheduled. Although the organization is not perfect, it is an important symbol of the official birth of the Olympic Movement and has the significance of connecting the past with the future.
The Olympic Movement has finally stepped onto the historical stage and opened a new chapter in the history of human civilization.
Olympic slogan
Slogan content
The Olympic motto is also called the Olympic slogan. The Olympic movement has a famous motto: "Faster, higher and stronger." This maxim was said by Henri Didong, a good friend of Coubertin and the abbot of L 'Aquile Abbey in Paris, at an outdoor sports meeting to encourage students. He said: "here, your slogan is: faster, higher and stronger."
Slogan source
Coubertin borrowed this sentence and used it in the Olympic movement. 1920, it was officially recognized as the Olympic motto by the International Olympic Committee, and was first used at the Antwerp Olympic Games. Since then, the Latin "Citius, Altius, Fortius" of the Olympic motto has appeared in various publications of the International Olympic Committee. The Olympic motto fully expresses the spirit of continuous progress and never-ending struggle advocated by the Olympic Movement. Although there are only six short words, its meaning is very rich. It not only means that we should not be afraid of strong players, dare to struggle and dare to win in competitive sports, but also encourage people to be unwilling to be mediocre in their own lives and work, always full of vitality, keep forging ahead, surpass themselves and exert their potential to the limit.
Another creed
There is also a well-known creed of the Olympic Movement: "It is important to participate, not to win". This famous saying comes from 1908 when the Bishop of Pennsylvania gave a speech at a religious ceremony in St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Coubertin explained: "Just as the most important thing in life is not to win, but to struggle, not to conquer, but to strive hard".
Theme slogan of Beijing Olympic Games
On June 26th, 2005, BOCOG announced that "One World, One Dream" had become the theme slogan of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in both Chinese and English.
BOCOG explained the theme slogan. "One World, One Dream" embodies the essence and universal values of the Olympic spirit-unity, friendship, progress, harmony, participation and dreams, and expresses the common desire of the whole world to pursue a better future for mankind under the inspiration of the Olympic spirit.
BOCOG believes that this theme slogan profoundly reflects the core concept of the Beijing Olympic Games and embodies the harmonious values contained in the People's Olympics as the core and soul of the three concepts of "Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics and People's Olympics". It is our dream and pursuit to build a harmonious society and realize harmonious development. "Harmony between man and nature" and "harmony is precious" are the ideals and pursuits of China people for the harmonious relationship between man and nature and between people since ancient times. Peace and progress, harmonious development, harmonious coexistence, win-win cooperation and a better life are the common ideals of the whole world.
This theme slogan is concise and profound, which belongs to both China and the world. The theme slogan expresses the lofty ideal that the people of Beijing and China and the people of other countries share a beautiful home, share the fruits of civilization and work together to create a better future. Expressed the firm belief that a great nation with 5,000 years of civilization and moving towards modernization is committed to peaceful development, social harmony and people's happiness; It expresses the desire of the 654.38 billion+300 million people in China to contribute to the establishment of a peaceful and better world.
BOCOG believes that the English slogan "One World, One Dream" has a unique syntactic structure. Two ones form a beautiful parallelism, and "the world" and "the dream" echo back and forth. The whole slogan is concise, loud and profound, which is easy to remember and spread. China's slogan "One World, One Dream" is identical with "One", which makes the theme of "All mankind belongs to the same world and pursues a beautiful dream together" more prominent.
The electric worker cried to death.
65438+1 On the afternoon of October 26th1,three comrades, Luo, Luo Changming and Zhou Jinghua, transmission line workers of Hunan Power Transmission and Transformation Construction Company, died heroically while deicing high-voltage power lines in Shaping Substation of Tian Li Village, Qiaoyi Town, Wangcheng County. On October 28th, 65438/KLOC-0, Hunan Provincial Government officially recognized them as revolutionary martyrs, and Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League posthumously awarded them as "pacesetters of the May 4th Youth Medal in Hunan Province". 65438+1October 29th, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau (PSC).
When Bao visited their families in Changsha, Hunan, he said emotionally, "I can't express my comfort in more words when I face you today." Let me bow to you! " I can't help crying after reading this report! That's three young lives in their thirties!
This year 1 month, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces suffered from the ice disaster once in 50 years. After several days of freezing rain and half a month of icing, one inch of ice was accumulated on the flat ground. The tower at the tuyere of high mountains and mountains not only bears the pressure of freezing for nearly half a foot, but also bears the tension of several steel-core aluminum stranded wires and steel stranded wires hundreds of meters long and weighing more than ten tons after freezing, even the steel bars and iron bones are unbearable. In order to ensure the power transmission related to the national economy and people's livelihood, only the icing should be removed as soon as possible. At this difficult juncture, three comrades volunteered to participate in the anti-ice disaster protection power supply rescue team organized by the company and went to the front line of anti-ice rescue. In the process of deicing the tower, the tower where Luo was located collapsed, and the towers where Luo Changming and Zhou Jinghua were located also collapsed. Luo died on the spot, while Luo Changming and Zhou Jinghua fell to the ground and died of their injuries. With their own actions, they have fulfilled the promise of electric workers to society! As Premier Wen said, "Three martyrs are good sons of the people! They sacrificed to repair the power grid, for the benefit of the people! The comrades in Hunan Power Grid can't forget them, all the people in Hunan Province can't forget them, and the people of the whole country can't forget them! " In fact, the power workers in the whole country will never forget them-they are worthy of being good sons of China people, good youths in Hunan and good workers in power enterprises.
Luo, Luo Changming and Zhou Jinghua, have a good trip. Don't worry, where you fall, a stronger iron tower will stand-that's your eternal monument!

Yesterday, Yu Juzhen, director of Youli Community Neighborhood Committee in Luonan Street, Hongshan District, came to Hu Heping's home as usual. "Dad Hu, what do you want to eat?" "I want to eat chicken." It turned out that Hu's father had been lying in bed for nearly a week because of stomach bleeding. These days, Yu Juzhen and several community groups take turns to take care of them, which makes Hu Da deeply gratified. After Yu Juzhen helped with the housework, she rushed to the market to buy Yanzi chicken and bread and sent them to Hu Heping's hospital bed.
Since the beginning of winter, Luonan Street in Hongshan District has arranged the poor elderly, empty nesters and widowed elderly in the community, and found that there are more than 200 poor elderly people in 35 communities who need care. According to the standard of subsidizing 300 yuan per person 150 yuan, the subdistrict office distributed solatium and materials, and sent them a warm reminder card with the phone numbers and names of community cadres, so that the elderly could stand by whenever needed. At the same time, community cadres take turns to buy rice, send meals, sanitation, send money, send medicine and chat for the elderly.

At 7 o'clock the next morning, Zhu Guangming, director of Zhuodaoquan community, called community cadres to clean up the snow in the community, bought oil, meat, eggs, bean products and vegetables from the vegetable market and sent them to three empty nesters. He carefully checked whether the gas tanks in the old people had gas and whether the heating facilities were in good condition. He also accompanied the elderly to do housework and help clean up. On June 9 and 23, 65438, the community bought back fish, meat, rice, vegetables and other materials in two batches, so that the old people could spend the cold winter without leaving home.
Editor: The warmth in the ice and snow is more touching. The government moved, cadres came, and enthusiastic citizens came. We believe that natural disasters are merciless, but with love, we can resist the cold.

"You are a lesbian, and you are over 50 years old. We have done our best for you and all of us. I'm really sorry!" Yesterday, 77-year-old Peng held hands and sobbed.
In recent days, Liu Guihua has not been seen in Sanlian Community of Qingshan Workers Village Street, and everyone thought that she had gone to training. It was not until last Saturday that a relative visited her home that she uncovered the "lie" she had woven. It turned out that the recent heavy snow in Jiangcheng continued to be cold, and there were many empty nesters, widowed elderly and disabled people in the Sanlian community of shanty towns and workers' villages. In order to prevent residents from walking and wrestling, Liu Guihua, the head of the community, led party member and community cadres to get up early to clear the ice and snow on the road. A week ago, when Liu Guihua was shoveling snow with a spade, he slipped to the ground with too much force, resulting in a broken ankle and crying into a ball. In order not to worry residents, Liu Guihua asked community cadres to keep secrets for themselves and told residents that she had gone out for training.
After the truth came out, residents spontaneously visited Liu Guihua's home. Seeing Liu Guihua, which has lost a lot of weight, many residents' eyes are moist. Liu Guihua didn't take his injury seriously, just told the old people: "Keep a stove at home to keep warm, but pay attention to ventilation!" He also explained to other community cadres, "Which difficult family has not gone to condolences, go quickly!" "The roof of Wang Po's husband's family is covered with linoleum, so we should sweep the snow often!"
Driven by Liu Guihua, community cadres are constantly snowing, caring about the cold and warm food and clothing of every household, and deeply promoting the common sense of safety and warmth for winter to residents; The "community party members' voluntary purchasing team" tries its best to buy food and rice for empty nesters and widowed elderly people. ...

It snowed for half a month and it was freezing. Vagrants and beggars are rarely seen on the road, and most of them are picked up by rescue stations. Did they dress warmly and eat enough at the rescue station? Yesterday, the reporter visited the Wuhan rescue station.
The receptionist was a little surprised because there was no reservation. But after reading the reporter's newspaper, a staff member took us to "visit" the whole rescue station.
The reporter first came to the activity room on the first floor. There are some elderly people here, some are watching TV with relish, and some are chatting. With the heating on, the activity room is very warm.

The reporter went to the children's activity room on the second floor, and a group of children were watching TV. The reporter touched their hands. They are warm, dressed and clean. "How do you eat? How to arrange three meals a day? " The reporter asked one of the teenagers.
"It's porridge and steamed bread in the morning, two dishes at noon, one meat and one vegetable, and at night." "Is it cold to sleep at night?" "Not cold!"
The reporter saw that every room was clean, the sheets and quilts were clean and tidy, and there was a Mickey Mouse doll on each bed, which made people feel very warm.

In the heavy snow, the breakfast cart brought warmth to the residents. Reporter Zhang Jun correspondent Jian Huang photo
At 4: 05 am yesterday, Gong, 5 1 year-old, got up early with his 52-year-old wife. After a simple combing, at 4: 25, the two left home.
The snow outside the building is still heavy, and the snow on the ground is thicker. They found their own dining car in the yard of the community and cleared the snow on it. The palace is pulled in front, and his wife is pushing behind, struggling to walk outside the community.
Gong is the dining car owner of Qingshan Baijia Breakfast Engineering Company. They live in Qingshan 125 community, only 10 minutes' walk from the dining car business point outside the north gate of Governor Garden 126 designated by the urban management department. Because of the snow in recent days, the road is difficult to walk, and the journey takes 30 minutes.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, they finally reached their destination. The company's delivery truck arrived five minutes later, unloading the goods, but the wheels got stuck in the snow nest and couldn't move. Gong Shaoping hurried to borrow a spade to shovel snow. She has been selling breakfast here for three years, and many neighbors know her, so the shovel was quickly borrowed.
When the delivery truck left, Gong lit the gas stove, began to arrange breakfast, steamed it, cooked it, and then took out the prepared blanket and covered it with the heated breakfast. After a while, Gong's wife went home to boil water. Gong Shaoping said that this can save some gasoline. It's so cold that the gas should be on all the time. Boiling some boiling water to help warm up can make the breakfast bought by guests hotter.
Probably hearing the noise in the street, the young administrator of a nearby Internet cafe ran out and said, "You are so punctual. I was cold and hungry all night." He bought three bowls of Regan Noodles and several cups of soybean milk. Gong added three packs of Chili noodles to a bowl of Regan Noodles according to his request. After putting them in plastic bags, he tied two more knots.
At 6: 00 a.m.10, Gong's breakfast cart ushered in the peak of office workers buying breakfast. Most of them have to take the early bus to work. People come in waves and go in waves. Although it's still snowing, I'm so tired that I'm sweating.
At 7: 30 in the morning, watching fewer and fewer people buy breakfast, my wife Gong left the dining car early with her bag. Gong explained that he gave it to a 70-year-old man who lived at Gate 89 long ago. It turns out that the old man always buys three cups of porridge by himself. Looking at the heavy snow these days, Gong didn't let the old man go out. They bring breakfast to the old people every day. So far, they do not know his name.
At 8: 30 in the morning, Gong sold all the breakfast at a price of 408.5 yuan. She said that she loves this job, and it is very comfortable to watch people eat hot breakfast from here every day.
The reporter understands that since the snow, the original 80 breakfast cars in Qingshan Baijia have shrunk to 27, and they have increased to 35 since yesterday.
Xinhuanet Nanchang 65438+1October 30th (Reporter Chen Chunyuan) On the morning of 29th, several 65438+ 100 kV high-voltage lines in Linchuan section of Jiangxi Windsor Expressway were crushed by snow and ice, blocking roads and seriously threatening the lives of drivers and passengers passing by. Guo Xie, a road manager of Windsor Expressway Management Office, was killed in a car accident when he rushed to the scene for emergency rescue. He is only 23 years old. Prior to this, Guo Xie had been working continuously in the disaster relief work of the expressway for 15 days and nights.
On the same day 10: 30, Guo Xie received the danger notice that 1000V high-voltage line was about to be crushed by ice and snow, and immediately volunteered to the captain together with the driver Wan Jianguo, and rushed to the scene of the accident from Nancheng County, where the cold-resistant disaster relief mission was being carried out.
10: 36, when the vehicles on Guoxie Highway were driving from Cheng Nan to Linchuan K499+ 100 m, many large trucks were driving slowly in the overtaking lane with good road conditions after deicing. Guo Xie was eager to get to the scene to divert traffic and decided to overtake from the flat lane. Unexpectedly, the car slipped and hit the highway guardrail. Guo Xie slammed his head against the door frame and was unconscious on the spot. Wan Jianguo, the driver, also suffered a head injury.
10: 55, the road officials who arrived at the scene of the accident immediately sent it to the First Hospital of Fuzhou for rescue. 13: 4 1, Comrade Guo Xie died gloriously because of ineffective rescue at the age of 23.
Since the middle of 65438 10, Jiangxi province has suffered the worst snow disaster in 50 years, and road traffic has been seriously blocked. From 65438+1October 13, Guo Xie fought on the expressway for 15 days and nights. Until the accident, he was still in Cheng Nan, fighting for three days and three nights.
In this cold wave disaster relief, Guo Xie took it as his duty to ensure smooth flow. Because the police force is not enough, he always actively cooperates with the traffic police to divert traffic. 65438+1At 2 o'clock on October 24, traffic control was implemented in all toll lanes of Windsor Expressway, causing a large number of traffic jams at Linchuan Toll Station. He has been at the scene with the traffic police to appease and explain the driver's friends for more than five hours.

On the afternoon of October 25th, 65438/KLOC-0, another wave of cold wave hit Jiangxi, and the expressway pavement became more and more icy that night, and more and more vehicles were stranded at Linchuan toll station. As a stranger, many drivers are afraid to get off to buy food, and all the food stored in the car is eaten up, so they are hungry and cold. Guo Xie called on colleagues and Linchuan station staff to raise more than 300 yuan to buy instant noodles, biscuits and other foods for drivers.
