The National Games is a sports fund that has been set up under the Education Fund as an activity fund. The Ministry of Education is responsible for organizing the implementation, as it is part of Education for All and is the result of the expansion of the Student Games.

It is very interesting that TV stations in various places broadcast the whole process of the grassroots selection. It's still the style of a standard documentary, no rehearsals, no director, the mistakes of the participants, some naughty actions, chagrin and crying after defeat, and triumph and show-off after victory. It's true.

This made the people watching mass TV in the square laugh constantly. Actually, every household now has a TV, but because some small towns themselves are not far from their households, everyone likes to gather to watch, and these games are often done in small squares, so they are very friendly.

Latour still can't accept this kind of non-commercial shooting, and if the Olympics are completely out of touch with commerce, I am afraid that they will only face death. But he was gagged by Zhang Chun, so he couldn't say anything. On the other hand, I watched it with a relaxed mood, and I felt that it was actually not bad.

After the selection of the village is completed, the contestants are sent to the town by the villagers, and many villagers will follow the town to cheer for the contestants in their village. However, it seems that the selected players are not necessarily the strongest players, and some people laugh and say that our village is finished this year, and the luck of the players will not always be so good.

China is too big, and although it has been deliberately mixed and blended, the customs of each place have been integrated, but they are still slightly different. At the same time, it was very interesting to converge on TV. Latour was surprised to find. There are not only yellow people in China, but also white people, and it seems that there are a few of them everywhere. The physiognomy of the yellow race. The costumes and language are also slightly different, and although they use standard Chinese to talk to each other, they still occasionally show some dialects.

The complexity of the language is very prominent.

"China has a large area, a large population, and many ethnic groups, so the transportation has been convenient in recent years. There are many exchanges in various places. In addition, the movement of people in schools and government departments has caused the population of each place to be very complex. From Minyue Miao in the south to Yunnan-Guichuan. There are too many from Suwu Guanzhong in the middle to Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and Hui in the north, Japanese and Korean Turkic languages, and so on. Therefore, we have adopted standard Chinese as the basic language for universal education. Otherwise, there will be problems with people's communication. ”

Zhang Chun sat in the square on the streets of Tokyo with the common people and watched TV together, and Latour and his entourage could only follow. But people are used to it, and they just nod politely. No one was curious and surprised. on the square. There are really some young people who are not convinced, and organize their own competitions, and children are running around on bicycles, and no one stops them. This is especially true of Niu Niu.

The documentary style on TV is always present throughout the program. In addition to the competition, there is also a program called "Out of the Safe Zone", which is a program in which the TV station organizes some students and some brain workers to form an activity group, and then go to the forest rangers and the grassland management center to experience life. Forests, grasslands, and lakes are public resources. Anyone can enter, but these places are also home to a variety of animals. In addition to predators, there are also various poisonous insects and snakes. It is not enough to have advanced equipment, but also to have a good body, a calm mind, a sensitive reaction and so on. These people who have been working in the security zone for a long time are naturally full of jokes when they arrive in this environment.

There are very few wild animals on the island of Honshu, so the pets brought by people in the square are quite normal, but there are some places on TV where the pets brought by children are a little scary, and the wolf taming is the most, but it is also the most ordinary. Horses are people's means of transportation and companions. But elephants too, have you ever seen a child riding a tiger? Have you ever seen a child holding a bear? Where did they get the lions? Doesn't it mean that the lion has become extinct in China and has become a sacred object? And this lion is clearly characteristic of African lions.

So in fact, the so-called safe zone cannot be considered a safe zone. Probably only the safe zone of an island city like Tokyo is truly safe.

Looking at all this alone, it is difficult to equate China with civilized countries. But in fact, Chinese clothing is no longer a simple clothing, not just glamorous, more to highlight practicality. For example, the ability to protect. Their hangers are no longer considered hangers, but outer armor. The people in the Tokyo Safe Zone are lighter and simpler. There are also few pendants, and there are almost no weapons.

But this is not the case in other cities, where all kinds of scimitars seem to have been made by ordinary people themselves. In the program, there are people who participate in the event who go to the weapons processing factory to select alloys and customize weapons suitable for themselves under the guidance of weapons experts. So almost everyone's cold weapon is different.

When you step out of the safe zone, you have to officially give you a gun. According to individual characteristics, some are equipped with short guns, some are equipped with long guns, and some are equipped with sniper rifles. All of them also have to be armed with grenades. That's already a formidable army. At this time, the role of the hanger is very obvious. Firearms, ammunition and household items are reasonably and neatly hung on the hangers. Their sleeping bags are thin. They also had communication devices on their helmets and were able to talk to each other, and Latour didn't find out where the telegraph was on its back.

And the real army, it is said that there are not even sleeping bags. The costumes are more advanced than these people's, and you can sleep in the wild without worrying about anything.

When he saw the show, Latour didn't say anything more. He believed what Zhang Chun said. It is true that the Chinese Games are not a performance, not something used to make money for businessmen, but have practical value.

"Once a Holy Land" is a program in which educators take students to support desert management. It shows the determination of the Chinese to turn a desert into a pasture and forest, and it seems to have achieved considerable results. Although the towering sand dunes of Badain Jaran block them like demons.

"Rural Chronicles" is a series of documentaries about the life of rural people, about how the newly assigned students and staff integrate into the countryside, and talk about some rural customs. A common feature is that all the people who come have to worship the oldest tree in the village, because the youngest of these trees is a hundred or two hundred years old, and it is the oldest creature in the village. In some villages, the trees are even more than 500 years old. The people who planted this tree were the ancestors who created this village. The Chinese's respect for their ancestors is reflected in these everyday details. Every child is born and is taken out of the village by an adult to the mountains to select a small sapling as a tree of life and mark it so that the tree will not be cut down. After the death of the elderly, they will scatter the ashes under the tree, representing the birth of nature and looking back on nature.

However, because of the differences in people's personalities, there are still conflicts, and some conflicts seem very ridiculous. When there are disputes and mutual intolerance, there is a big fight. But it is generally stopped by the elderly. All the young people have a lot of respect for the old people. Although he was still angry, he still recognized the old people's decision. It also makes the show a lot more interesting.

This is almost always the case with Chinese television programmes, which are part of the ethnic integration approach. No matter where you come from, this culture of tolerance, respect for ancestors, respect for nature will quickly integrate you into the crowd.

Latour was surprised to find that the National Games included the Seattle Indian Autonomous Prefecture in the United States and the Yakutia region in Japan.

It's just that the level of movement of the Indians and Yakuts is far from that of China and looks silly. There are Chinese who are training for them.

The Japanese emperor in China could not control the National Games, but the Japanese government refused to allow the Japanese in Japan to participate in the National Games, but did not object to the formation of teams from ethnic minorities in Yakutia.

"You see, the level of sports in different regions is unbalanced, and there are many reasons, so if you really want to determine who is superior and who is inferior, it will form regional discrimination, which is not conducive to the promotion and popularization of sports." Zhang Chun explained.

"Commercialization can solve this problem, and entrepreneurs will find ways to do it for the sake of profit." Latour explained.

"That would only lead to the formation of an aristocratic culture, such as equestrianism in England, which is completely different from equestrianism in our country. Equestrianism in England is aristocratic equestrianism, and ours equestrianism is practical equestrianism, a skill that shepherds must use in their lives. For example, golf, and even synchronized swimming, etc., all became the entertainment of the aristocracy. This is contrary to the purpose of the National Movement. It also seems to be different from the purpose of the Olympic Games. Many sports will deteriorate in the process of commercialization and become no longer suitable for ordinary people. ”

"But the level of ordinary people is always much lower, as you can see in the show, it's more like a game than a competition." Latour frowned.

"This is the case now, but don't you think that the overall level of exercise will only improve if the general level of exercise of the common people increases?" Zhang Chun asked.

Latour opened his mouth for a long time before he said, "Time will tell, but I hope you are doing the right thing." (To be continued......)
