Before 1940, the Republic of China adopted a compilation and review system for textbooks, which meant that scholars could compile their own textbooks, but they needed to be reviewed by the Ministry of Education.

However, as Nanjing gradually gained power, the Ministry of Education also began to get involved in the compilation of textbooks.

In the early thirties, although the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China also compiled textbooks, it did not force schools to use the textbooks compiled by the Ministry of Education.

In 1936, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China formally established the Textbook Editing Committee, and since then the Ministry of Education has been implementing the textbooks compiled by the ministry.

In 1940, the Ministry of Education simply formulated laws and regulations, abolishing the system of editing and reviewing textbooks, and changing it to a ministerial system, stipulating that all textbooks for primary and secondary schools in the country should be compiled by the Ministry of Education in a unified manner.

At that time, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China compiled a large number of articles on political education such as articles and announcements by party and government dignitaries, which unprecedentedly highlighted the spirit of serving politics and caused widespread resistance in the educational circles at that time.

At the end of 1933, the Ministry of Education had just begun to be involved in the editing of textbooks, and the political intentions of the textbooks edited by the Ministry of Education were not so obvious.

When Chen Qiang heard that the Ministry of Education had decided to edit physical education textbooks, he was immediately interested, and he decided to get involved.

Physical education textbooks were a blank field at the time. At that time, physical education in China was still in its initial stage, and although sports scholars such as John Ma and Song Junfu also edited some physical education textbooks, they did not form a complete physical education system.

Moreover, the physical education textbooks of that era were also very backward, and they were too far behind later generations in terms of scientificity, rigor and practicality. At that time, the physical education textbooks were far inferior to the Chinese textbooks, and the Chinese textbooks of that era, even if they were put to later generations, could be regarded as high-quality. And the physical education textbooks are really bad in Chen Qiang's opinion.

When it comes to physical education textbooks, that is Chen Qiang's best field, and in later generations, he participated in editing more than one physical education textbook, from primary school, to middle school, to university, Chen Qiang is an expert. It is precisely because this is what Chen Qiang is good at that Chen Qiang decided to join the editing of physical education textbooks of the Ministry of Education.

Chen Qiang has sports knowledge ahead of this era, but many times he does not want to pass on these advanced sports knowledge to others, in this era, China is lagging behind Europe and the United States after all, a new sports skills spread, the biggest beneficiary must be European and American countries.

Athletes from European and American countries eat and drink well every day, and can put their minds on sports, while the Chinese are still hungry and have to fight the invaders, how can they practice sports! The emergence of a new technology must be mastered first by European and American athletes.

However, the editing of physical education textbooks is different, there is a saying that if the youth is strong, the country is strong, if you start to pay attention to physical exercise and start to participate in sports when you are a student, then after a few years, the physical fitness of the people will definitely be greatly improved.

To revitalize the country, we must start with education, and the development of sports must also start with children. Chen Qiang, as a professor of the University of Physical Education in later generations, how could he not understand this!

Chen Qiang went to the Olympics alone to brush gold medals and break records, which can help Chinese shake off the hat of "East Asian sick man", but as far as China as a whole is concerned, there are still a large number of "sick men", and Chen Qiang's achievements alone cannot change the status quo of 40,000 Chinese.

However, the development of physical education can fundamentally change all Chinese, make Chinese become physically strong, and let Chinese truly get rid of the hat of "the sick man of East Asia".

Of course, Chen Qiang understands these truths, but when he just crossed over, he was just a precarious newsboy in Shanghai, who wanted money but no money, no fame, no connections, and no connections to develop physical education at that time, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream!

What is the use of editing a physical education textbook even if you are a newsboy? Not to mention that it is a sports textbook, even if Chen Qiang wrote out "A Brief History of Time", people may ask, you are a little newsboy who sells newspapers honestly, and you still have time to pick up?

The meal should be eaten in one bite, and the road should be walked step by step. When you just landed, obscene development is the king, and when you pick up a god costume, it's not too late to get up again.

Chen Qiang originally planned to wait for a few years, after graduating from university, he slowly accumulated some accumulation, and then began to edit physical education textbooks. However, now that there is such a good opportunity in advance, Chen Qiang will certainly not miss it. Chen Qiang intends to integrate the advanced sports concepts of later generations into the textbooks of this era, so that Chinese people can start to participate in sports from their student days, so that Chinese people can start to become strong from an early age, and truly throw off the hat of "the sick man of East Asia"!

……

A middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old took Chen Qiang and walked towards the textbook editor's office.

"Chen Qiang, Professor Wu of Central University and Professor Yuan of Zhejiang University happen to be here today, I will introduce you later." The middle-aged man spoke.

"Thank you, brother!" Chen Qiang hurriedly thanked him.

The middle-aged man, Zhang Daofan, was a former painter and the first Chinese student in the history of the Fine Arts Department at the University of London. This person is the backbone of the CC department, and after he fled from the mainland to Taiwan in the future, he also served as the "president of the legislature" and other important positions.

Today's Zhang Daofan is also a member of the Party Organization Committee and the Executive Committee of the Party Central Committee, and it is Zhang Daofan who is responsible for the work of editing textbooks.

The understanding of Zhang Daofan in later generations is probably that he became a "male junior" once and pried away Xu Beihong's ex-wife.

Zhang Daofan is the person in charge of the textbook editing office, Chen Qiang naturally can't be offended, and Chen Qiang wants to add some of his own things to the physical education textbooks, and he has to rely on Zhang Daofan's support, it just so happens that Zhang Daofan graduated from Nankai University, so Chen Qiang simply shouted "senior brother" one by one, and he also got closer to Zhang Daofan.

I saw Zhang Daofan walking and said: "Now the newspapers have been saying 'sports to save the country', if we want to save the country, we must strengthen the species, and the positive way to strengthen the species is to advocate sports." The Ministry of Education's compilation of physical education textbooks is also in line with the current situation. ”

Chen Qiang nodded, during the Republic of China, there were all kinds of oral examinations to save the country, such as reading to save the country, industry to save the country, national art to save the country, aviation to save the country, and even those who sell brain fluid shouted to save the country. Among them, "sports to save the country" is a relatively loud call.

Since the beginning of the 20 th century, when the West put the hat of "the sick man of East Asia" on the heads of the Chinese, the slogan of saving the country through sports appeared, and in the early thirties, after the outbreak of the "918" incident, the Chinese people's sense of shame for the "sick man of East Asia" has become increasingly deep, the survival of the nation is imminent, and resisting aggression has become the primary task of the whole nation. It was not until the 1936 Berlin Olympics that the Chinese team did not receive anything, and a voice of "sports is useless" appeared in public opinion, which made the voice of "sports save the country" gradually fade out of people's field of vision.

In this world, due to Chen Qiang's outstanding performance in the Olympic Games, this has given the Chinese people a shot in the arm, so the voice of the people about "sports to save the country" is even more unprecedentedly high, and Chen Qiang's success in the Olympic Games also seems to confirm that "sports to save the country" is a correct thing.

Zhang Daofan took Chen Qiang to an office, pushed the door in, and saw several desks inside, and there were four or five people working in front of the desk. When they saw Zhang Daofan, they all got up to greet each other.

Zhang Daofan continued: "Professors, this is Chen Qiang, everyone must have heard of Chen Qiang's name, so I won't introduce it much." ”

After Zhang Daofan finished speaking, he pulled Chen Qiang and began to introduce the other people in the room.

"This is Professor Wu Yunrui, head of the Department of Physical Education at Central University." Zhang Daofan pointed to a person and introduced.

"Professor Wu, hello, I have admired the name for a long time!" Chen Qiang said immediately.

Chen Qiang has really heard of Wu Yunrui's name, but not in the Republic of China, but in the future.

Professor Wu Yunrui is the founder of Shanghai University of Sport. He studied in the United States and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago and his master's degree from Columbia University. Today, Wu Yunrui is a professor and head of physical education at Nanjing Central University, and is also employed as a professor at Northeastern University and Beijing Normal University.

When Wu Yunrui saw Chen Qiang, he smiled and said, "Chen Qiang, I finally saw you." Last year, when you went to Chung-Ang University to raise funds, I happened to be preparing for the National Sports Work Conference, so I couldn't meet you. When you went to Chung-Ang University to give a lecture again this year, I happened to be involved in the drafting of sports regulations again, and I didn't meet you. Fortunately, it's only three times, and this third time, I can be regarded as seeing you. ”

"That's a good thing." Chen Qiang replied with a smile.

Zhang Daofan introduced another person: "This is the director of the Department of Physical Education of Zhejiang University, Professor Yuan Dunli." ”

Yuan Dunli also had the experience of studying in the United States, and he was a classmate of Wu Yunrui, and he also received a bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago and a master's degree from Columbia University. During the Republic of China, the "National Sports Law" and the "National Sports Implementation Plan" were drafted by Professor Yuan Dunli, and he also became the president of Beijing Normal University in the future. Today's Beijing Normal University, there is also a statue of Yuan Dunli.

Ordinary people may not know about these two people, but Chen Qiang, as a professor at the University of Physical Education, has naturally heard of the names of these two people. Wu Yunrui and Yuan Dunli are the first generation of physical educators in China, and they can be regarded as the pioneers of modern physical education in China.

……

Although Chen Qiang is very famous and has made great achievements on the sports field, he is too young after all, and compared with these professors, he is also soft-spoken, and these professors do not think that Chen Qiang can really edit physical education textbooks, but Chen Qiang was arranged by the Ministry of Education to gild.

Chen Qiang has just arrived, and he also knows that he has no right to speak here, and in the face of these older generation of sports people, Chen Qiang's heart is full of admiration, so he is also quite modest, listening more and asking more and expressing his opinions less, and looking like he is humbly learning every day.

Chen Qiang's attitude has also won the favor of these physical education professors. Everyone thinks that although this young man Chen Qiang became famous at a young age, he is not inflated at all, and he respects them very much, of course, he must give Chen Qiang a five-star praise.

In just a few days, Chen Qiang became acquainted with the professors in the textbook editor's office.

……

Professor Wu Yunrui had a large piece of rice paper in front of him, and I saw him holding a brush in his hand and his eyes closed, as if he was brewing something. After a while, Wu Yunrui opened his eyes and picked up a pen to draw on rice paper.

After half an hour's effort, Professor Wu finished painting, and looked at his work quite proudly, with a smile on his face.

Then Wu Yunrui raised his head and looked at everyone in the office, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Qiang, the newcomer.

Wu Yunrui beckoned to Chen Qiang: "Xiao Chen, come and see, how is my hibiscus painting!" ”

Chen Qiang walked closer and looked down at Wu Yunrui's work, to be honest, he really didn't see that Wu Yunrui painted hibiscus.

However, Chen Qiang also looked at it very seriously, and then nodded and praised: "The painting is good!" ”

"Where is Lao Wu's painting!" Professor Yuan Dunli leaned over and asked with a playful face.

"Well...... Chen Qiang said that "the painting is good" is purely a compliment, where can he say where Wu Yunrui paints well!

So Chen Qiang had no choice but to say: "Although I don't know how to paint, I think Professor Wu's painting is quite similar." The image of the painting should be good! ”

"Hahaha!" Yuan Dunli immediately laughed, the painting is good, this is the most straightforward evaluation he has ever heard.

Wu Yunrui waved his hand at Yuan Dunli with some annoyance: "Old Yuan, are you here to deliberately dismantle my platform again?" ”

"It seems that you are quite self-aware of your own level!" Yuan Dunli said teasingly.

Wu Yunrui and Yuan Dunli have been classmates since the United States, and the two can be said to be irreversible friends, so the two often tease each other to dismantle the stage.

I saw Wu Yunrui paint a scroll, and then handed it to Chen Qiang, and said, "Xiao Chen, since you think this painting is not bad, then I will give it to you!" ”

"Thank you, Professor Wu." Chen Qiang immediately thanked him.

Since they sent it, Chen Qiang couldn't refuse, if he said "I don't want it", it would hurt Professor Wu's face, so Chen Qiang took the painting over.

Yuan Dunli said from the side: "I said Lao Wu, Chen Qiang is the world's No. 1 athlete, even if you give something, it has to be a decent gift!" It's just your broken painting, it's ugly and ugly, and it can't be sold for money, so it's not a shame for you to give it to others! ”

Yuan Dunli teased him like this, and Wu Yunrui suddenly felt a little blushing.

The future Wu Yunrui can also be regarded as a master of calligraphy and painting, at least among sports experts, he has the highest level of painting. However, Wu Yunrui became interested in painting only after he met Xu Beihong, and Xu Beihong only began to teach at Nanjing Central University in 1929.

Wu Yunrui also knew that the level of his painting was not up to the level of giving away, and he was ridiculed by Yuan Dunli, and Wu Yunrui couldn't hold his face anymore.

I saw him open the drawer, take out a rolled-up painting from it, hand it to Chen Qiang, and at the same time said: "Xiao Chen, this is also for you, the provincial old Yuan said to send a gift to pick the door!" ”

Chen Qiang opened the painting and saw a galloping horse painted on it. The details on the horse's face and legs, as well as the flowing mane, are simply amazing and lifelike, and Chen Qiang even has a feeling that the horse in this painting is a living thing!

Even Chen Qiang, a person who doesn't know how to paint, thinks that this horse painting is really good!

Chen Qiang looked at the payment again, and the word "Beihong" came into Chen Qiang's eyes.

"This is Xu Beihong's work!" Chen Qiang exclaimed.

The next moment, Chen Qiang directly handed the galloping horse back to Wu Yunrui, and at the same time said, "Professor Wu, this gift is too precious for me to accept!" ”

"What is precious, this is what Lao Xu painted for me, and it has been used for copying, and I still have it there." Wu Yunrui opened his mouth and said.

Yuan Dunli next to him also followed: "Xiao Chen, you just accept it, this old Wu and Xu Beihong, that is not an ordinary relationship, others ask Xu Beihong for painting, and offer a large amount of pen money, Xu Beihong may not be willing, but Lao Wu and Xu Beihong want to paint, that is a matter of one sentence." ”

Wu Yunrui and Xu Beihong are indeed good friends. In Central University, Wu Yunrui is the director of the Department of Physical Education, Xu Beihong is the head of the Department of Art, the two have a lot of contacts, and since Wu Yunrui began to study painting, he and Xu Beihong have a very deep friendship. According to Mrs. Xu Beihong's recollection, when Xu Beihong was seriously ill in 1944, he relied on Wu Yunrui to take care of him, and finally recovered.

Chen Qiang accepted the galloping horse, and then carefully put away the painting.

"After so many years of traveling to the Republic of China, the most valuable thing in my hands should be this painting. This is Xu Beihong's horse! If this horse is placed in the auction house of the future generations, it is worth at least 100 million! This Professor Wu is generous enough, and he gave away 100 million with a shake of his hand. ”

At this time, Wu Yunrui spoke again: "Xiao Chen, in a few days, the library of the Central University will hold an exhibition of works by the art department of the West Painting Group in Hangzhou, if you are interested, you might as well go and have a look, Lao Xu will also be on the scene." After this exhibition, Lao Xu will have to go to France to hold an art exhibition, and he may not be able to return to China until next year! ”

As soon as Chen Qiang heard that he could see Xu Beihong, he immediately nodded and agreed, saying that he would definitely go back to Central University to watch the art exhibition.

……

Central University held an exhibition of works in Hangzhou, although these works were mainly painted by students of Central University, but for the sake of Xu Beihong's face, many well-known painters came to cheer.

In fact, these well-known painters also came to see Xu Beihong off, because Xu Beihong was about to leave for France to hold an exhibition of modern Chinese paintings at the National Museum of Fine Arts in France.

At the art exhibition of Central University, Wu Yunrui introduced Xu Beihong to Chen Qiang, and Chen Qiang took a photo with Xu Beihong with great interest.

After a few greetings, Xu Beihong said: "Lao Wu, I changed my itinerary and don't go directly to Shanghai to take a boat, I want to go to Hong Kong first, and then take a boat from Hong Kong directly to France." The itinerary should also be advanced. ”

"Why?" Wu Yunrui was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something, and immediately asked, "Is it because of the things in Fujian?" ”

Xu Beihong nodded: "During the Songhu Anti-Japanese War last year, I organized an art exhibition to raise funds for them. Now that this kind of thing has happened, I am afraid that Nanjing will get me in trouble. ”

"It's okay to leave this place of right and wrong early." Wu Yunrui nodded and said.

Chen Qiang originally listened to the conversation between Xu Beihong and Wu Yunrui, but when he mentioned "Fujian", Chen Qiang understood.

When the "128" Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the 19th Route Army resisted Japan in Shanghai, Xu Beihong and several patriotic painters once held an exhibition to raise funds for the 19th Route Army, and Xu Beihong also painted a work praising the 19th Route Army's Anti-Japanese War.

In the same month, the coup d'état launched by the Nineteenth Route Army in Fujian publicly declared that it would not fight a civil war and would resist Japan, and the people's government that had been established in Fujian was clearly working against Nanjing.

In this case, Xu Beihong is likely to be regarded as a "dissident" by the Nanjing high-level, and may be "eradicated" at the first order, so Xu Beihong decided to leave for France in advance.

……

Xu Beihong went to France in advance to hold an art exhibition, and the textbook editor's office has also drawn up the outline of physical education textbooks and reported it to the Ministry of Education.

Chen Qiang basically did not participate in the editing of the outline of this physical education textbook, because Chen Qiang came to the textbook editor's office relatively late, and most of the textbook outline has been completed. Moreover, Chen Qiang is a new junior, and it is impossible for him to revise the syllabus that these professors have prepared.

However, after Chen Qiang read this outline, he is 100% sure that the top management of the Ministry of Education will not approve it.

Because the syllabus of this set of physical education textbooks is basically copied from the American physical education system, China does not apply it at all.

Moreover, according to this physical education system in the United States, from the important to the local to the school, a large amount of money is required, and the cumulative amount is quite a lot.

This involves spending money, and the top management in Nanjing does not approve it 100%!
