President Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for China's sports work: "Develop sports undertakings and strive to enhance people's physique." The purpose of developing sports is to strive for the physique of strong people. This is also the goal of our government's sports work.

The people of old China were extremely low in physique and were despised by the west as "the sick man of the East". Before 1932, it is impossible to win an Olympic medal, even a ranking, or even participate in the Olympic Games. Not even an Olympic medal (let alone a gold medal) won glory for our country. Can you say that people in this country are in good health?

Since liberation, China has vigorously developed sports undertakings, and the quality of national sports has generally improved, and health and longevity are very common, and the label of "the sick man of the East" has been removed forever. In the world-class sports meeting, it can't be underestimated, and it has won a lot of gold, silver and bronze medals.

It is precisely because of the improvement of China's comprehensive national strength and quality that China has the ability and qualification to host the Olympic Games. It is very important to host the Olympic Games and improve the quality of the people. Of course, winning more gold medals (medals) is one of the signs (not the only one) to prove the improvement of people's quality.

I wish our athletes excellent results and a lot of medals in the Olympic Games, and once again show the world that we China people are great and stand in the east of the world like giants.
