Chapter 1076: My Olympics
In 1948, many major events occurred, and Emperor Puyi's cousin Yoshiko Kawashima was sentenced to death by the Kuomintang government for "traitor" at the age of 43; The Berlin blockade begins; The 1948 London Olympics were held in London, England.
Time is locked here, London in 1948, because the protagonist appears here.
The London 1948 Olympic Games were the 14th Summer Olympics and were held in London, England, from July 29 to August 14, 1948.
London hosted the fourth Olympic Games in 1908, and 40 years later, the world's athletes are gathering here again.
It was the first Games to be held after a 12-year hiatus in World War II, and a new starting point for the Olympic Movement.
People have suffered the destruction of their homes and the death of their loved ones during the long war, but here they have experienced the happiness of peace and friendship. After the Second World War, many countries were freed from colonial rule. Although they did not have time to send well-trained players to participate in the competition, they were invited to participate in the event.
This year, there are 59 participating countries and regions.
It was a sunny day in London in July, and the opening ceremony was held at Wembley Stadium, which was also the venue for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The opening ceremony was opened by King George VI of the United Kingdom, and the flame was lit by athlete John Mark.
In 1945, when the Second World War ended, the British Olympic Committee applied to the International Olympic Committee to hold the 14th Summer Olympic Games in London. At that time, the war had just been extinguished, and countries were busy with post-war reconstruction work, and London was the only one to apply to host the hostship, so Britain was easily awarded the right to host the host.
Although the war has ended, the wounds left by the war are still everywhere and are waiting to be rebuilt. Life is difficult, the economy is depressed, and all walks of life urgently need to recover. London was no exception, and many people in Britain were opposed to hosting the Olympics under difficult circumstances.
The British Olympic Committee also did a lot of publicity work, ran in all directions, overcame many difficulties, and in the case of shortage of funds, also built the Olympic Village, repaired some sports venues, and completed the preparations for the Games as scheduled.
In the case of a shortage of funds, the existing venue facilities were fully utilized, and the Olympic Village was not built, and the athletes were housed in military barracks, schools, and even private homes.
Due to the lack of food, many participating delegations had to bring their own food, including staple and non-staple foods.
This was the case with the Chinese delegation, which brought rice, vermicelli, mustard and canned food from the country to ensure the daily needs of the members of the delegation.
Rice is now a staple food in every household, but in 1948, how many families in China could eat rice and white flour buns?
It's a luxury.
59 participating countries took the flag, including Brazil, Australia, Argentina, Cuba, Denmark, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, ......
There are two figures that did not appear, that is, Japan and Germany, two pairs of brothers and sisters who were deprived of the qualification team because they were the source of the Second World War, while their old comrade-in-arms Italy appeared on the field, and it is clear that people have come out of the haze, adjusted their mentality, and are ready for a new life.
Although China is one of the four victorious countries, its international position is still precarious, after all, the country is still at war, and the team has only sent 33 male athletes, of course, all of them are from the national control region.
Historically, the Chinese team did not win a medal this year, and participated in basketball, football, track and field, swimming, and cycling in five events.
However, the other group of people who entered the stadium was more eye-catching, because for some reason, they were not representing any country, but were participating in the Olympics in their individual capacity.
There were a few yellow-skinned young people in the delegation who made many British girls crazy, and Churchill, who was sitting on the spectator and had already stepped down as wartime prime minister, shook his head again and again and smiled bitterly: "This is really a restless fellow!" He's everywhere. ”
"It's because of this that I think he's handsome!" The youngest daughter said to her father with an obsessive look.
Churchill glanced at his little daughter, looked at the young man again, and said, "If you like it, then go for it." ”
"I thought so, but the people were not here, so I politely refused. Maybe he already has his own lover~" The little daughter is slim, she is definitely a big beauty, but she can only shrug helplessly at the moment.
Yes, several yellow-skinned people in the delegation participating in the Olympic Games in their individual capacity are Wang Liang, Harrier, Wei Dayong, Cao Jiawei, and Ou Xiang.
They didn't want to represent China in the competition, but the Kuomintang did not agree, and only selected a few athletes from the Kuomintang to participate in the competition.
Wang Liang and the others had no choice but to participate in the competition as individuals, which can be regarded as winning glory for the country.
Yes, it is true that Wang Liang was shot in the head, but he did not die.
At 9:23 a.m. on September 2, 1945, a few minutes after Wang Liang was shot, the U.S. side arranged for a car to escort Wang Liang to St. Luke's International Hospital in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
The hospital was founded in 1902 as a private hospital wholly owned by the United States, and although it is expensive, the level is also here.
The hospital employs many of the world's top doctors, otherwise Wang Liang would not have come back to life.
Later, when MacArthur heard that Wang Liang was haunted by the volunteers on the Korean battlefield, he couldn't help but slap the table fiercely and said: "I knew that this guy would give me such a headache, I would never send this guy to St. Luke's International Hospital for rescue." Who did I save? A lion! ”
Although the bullet pierced Wang Liang's head, he still survived tenaciously.
In addition to the miracle, what is more important is that the bullet passed through the skull to form a penetrating cranial wound, which, judging by the path of the bullet, injured the frontal lobe.
At the same time, a more important figure appeared, an American doctor who had been engaged in military medicine for a long time, his name was Masot, because he was a medical family, he had a very good set of treatment for traumatic brain injury, including the removal of bullets and the hemostasis of traumatic brain injury.
He specializes in using a method to treat dural hemorrhage, using a traumatic brain injury wound to place a silver disc to compress the dura mater to stop the bleeding.
It was this method that saved Wang Liang, who was in danger, and he did not die.
