After the founding ceremony, the organization talked to Chen Qiang and asked Chen Qiang what kind of work he wanted to do. The organization also gave Chen Qiang two suggestions, one is the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee, which is responsible for the work with overseas Chinese, after all, Chen Qiang has a great reputation in the Chinese world, and it is also suitable to do this kind of thing. The second is to engage in the sports industry of New China, Chen Qiang, as an athlete, can be regarded as an old profession engaged in sports.

As a sports person, Chen Qiang chose the latter without hesitation.

The All-China Sports Association, which was in charge of national sports affairs at the time, had already fled the mainland by this time, and it was unlikely that it would resume operation within a few years. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, sports were led by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, until 1952, when the National Sports Committee was established, referred to as the "State Sports Commission", as a functional department in charge of national sports work, and later this department was changed to the current State General Administration of Sports.

At the same time as the National Sports Commission was established, a National Sports Federation of China was also established, as a national mass sports organization, under the leadership of the National Sports Commission, that is, we often call the "Sports Association", which is recognized by the International Olympic Committee. For example, the Football Association, the Basketball Association, the Athletics Association, and the Swimming Association are all subordinate organizations of the National Sports Federation.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the development of sports was quickly put on the agenda, and less than 20 days after the founding ceremony, the National Universiade was held on behalf of sports workers to discuss the development of sports in New China. The meeting put forward the work guidelines for the development of sports in New China, and the specific implementation rules still need to be carefully studied and formulated by professionals.

Chen Qiang is obviously a professional in the sports industry, so after the meeting, Chen Qiang was called to a small conference room to solicit opinions.

"Comrade Chen Qiang, you are the only world champion in our China, and you must have unique views on the development of sports. The person who spoke was surnamed Wang, and he was about forty years old, not very old, but he was an old revolutionary, and it was said that he was a comrade who had walked the Long March.

"Director Wang, I can't talk about unique opinions, but it is my honor to be able to make suggestions and suggestions for China's sports industry." Chen Qiang paused, and then said, "Then I'll briefly talk about my thoughts." ”

"Comrade Chen Qiang, please speak." Director Wang immediately picked up the pen and prepared to write down the key points in the small notebook.

Chen Qiang said: "Our China's sports industry, compared with developed countries in Europe and the United States, started late, slow development, of course, this is caused by a variety of factors, we do not delve into the historical reasons for the backwardness of China's sports development, just talk about the current situation of China's sports industry, I summarized it, I think there are mainly the following four problems. The first is the weak constitution of the people, the second is the low level of sports, the third is the lack of professional talents, and the fourth is the withering of stadiums. ”

"Comrade Chen Qiang, you summed it up very accurately, Comrade Chen Qiang really deserves to be the best athlete in our country, and he has been abroad for so long, and he can understand our China's national conditions so accurately." Director Wang spoke.

"When I am abroad, I always pay attention to the situation at home, and I always hope to revitalize China's sports industry." Chen Qiang replied.

"Comrade Chen Qiang really has a heart. In fact, the situation you mentioned exists in all walks of life in New China, such as our industry, where the skill level of workers is low, professional engineers are scarce, and the equipment of factories is incomplete. Director Wang paused, and then said: "Comrade Chen Qiang, what work do you think we should do in view of the current situation of sports in our country? If you have a specific idea, please feel free to say so. ”

"Director Wang, China is a big country with a large land area and a large population, so if we want to develop sports, we need a long-term plan. I believe that first of all, it is necessary to establish and improve the functional departments of governments at all levels for the management of sports, and shoulder the responsibility of the state for the development of sports. With the country taking the lead in the development of sports, the people will have the backbone, which will inevitably achieve twice the result with half the effort. Chen Qiang said.

Director Wang nodded: "Comrade Chen Qiang is right, we have also discussed this issue before this, and we are already planning to establish the National Sports Association. ”

"The National Sports Federation is a mass organization, but it is not enough to rely on mass organizations to develop sports, I think we should also set up a special functional department to manage sports work, make overall plans for sports undertakings, and adhere to the leadership of the state." Chen Qiang said.

"Makes sense." Director Wang took this very seriously.

Chen Qiang continued: "In addition, I suggest that the establishment of the National Sports Federation as soon as possible as you just said. ”

"Why?" Director Wang asked.

"Director Wang should know that there was a National Sports Association of China before liberation, right?" Chen Qiang asked.

Director Wang nodded: "I know this, this was the leading organization of national sports at that time, and it held several national games. The functions of the National Sports Association, which is about to be established in New China, are similar to those of the National Sports Association. ”

"Does Director Wang know that the National Sports Association is China's official sports organization recognized by the International Olympic Committee? That is, the Chinese Olympic Committee. Chen Qiang then asked.

"Oh? I don't know much about the operation of the IOC, and I have to learn from Comrade Chen Qiang. Director Wang said.

So Chen Qiang introduced some knowledge about the IOC to Director Wang.

After the introduction, Chen Qiang continued: "Now that it is New China, our National Sports Federation should be a sports organization that can represent China!" The sooner our National Sports Federation is established, the sooner it will be recognized by the IOC. As far as I know, the Sports Association is now in name only, and it is estimated that they will not be able to resume their work within three years, which is a good opportunity for us to replace them at the IOC. ”

"I understand, Comrade Chen Qiang, this suggestion of yours is very important! I'll report back to the chief right away. Director Wang said solemnly.

New China has just been established, and there are few countries in the world that have recognized New China, if it can be recognized by the International Olympic Committee, it will be of great help to New China on the international stage.

Director Wang felt that he had gained an important harvest from Chen Qiang, but he was not satisfied, but then asked: "Comrade Chen Qiang, you just said first, what about others?" ”

"Oh, I continued. Second, I hope that the state can give funding to the sports industry to build a stadium first. Chen Qiang said.

"In this regard, the state will have a plan, although the country's financial situation is also very difficult now, but with the support of the masses, I believe that the construction of sports venues will certainly not be a problem." Director Wang spoke.

"Indeed, our development of sports is inseparable from the support of the masses, so the third point is to extensively carry out mass sports activities and enliven the amateur cultural life of the broad masses of the people. It's just that at present, the popularity of sports in China is still relatively low, and it is somewhat unrealistic to rely on the masses to carry out sports activities spontaneously, which needs to be organized. Chen Qiang said.

"Organizing the masses is not a problem for us. I believe that the general public will also be happy to participate in sports. Director Wang said with a smile.

Chen Qiang continued: "The fourth point is to form a sports team and improve the level of sports skills. ”

"Regarding the formation of sports teams, we will send people to the USSR next year to study." Director Wang replied.

"Fifth, develop sports science and technology to increase the vitality of sports development. This is a long-term project, which requires not only theoretical knowledge, but also practice, and may take several generations of accumulation before it can be effective. The sixth point is to set up sports newspapers and periodicals to increase sports publicity. Chen Qiang said.

"The sports newspaper is definitely going to be run, and I will contact the publicity department in this regard, work out a plan together, and then report to the chief." Director Wang spoke.

"Finally, establish sports schools and train sports talents." Chen Qiang said.

"Sports school? Is it a school that specializes in physical education? Director Wang asked.

"It is not a school that specializes in teaching sports, but a school that cultivates sports talents for the country. To put it simply, it is to add professional physical education courses in addition to the normal curriculum. For example, gymnastics, boxing, fencing, weightlifting, ordinary school physical education teachers are afraid that they can't complete the training of these events, right? This requires a sports school to complete the training of this type of athlete. In addition, sports such as track and field, swimming, basketball, football and other sports can also be given more professional training through sports schools, so as to cultivate higher-level athletes. You can think of it as a technical school in sports, this kind of school does not need a lot, but it must be specialized, and the source of students does not need to be many, but it must be the best of the best! Chen Qiang explained.

"I understand, this is equivalent to concentrating superior forces to make breakthroughs when we are fighting! It's a novel idea, and I'll report back to the chief. Director Wang said.

Chen Qiang continued: "In fact, the development of sports is not something that can be completed overnight, and it may take us several generations to achieve results. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, our country's sports, after all, the foundation is too thin, so I think that at this stage, we should focus on the development of sports and the popularization of sports, rather than competing with foreigners. Our country has a population of 400 million, and it will take many years for sports to become popular. ”

Chen Qiang said, took out a stack of manuscript paper from the briefcase beside him, and handed it to Director Wang: "Director Wang, I have written a detailed written report about what I just said, and I would like you to take a look at it." ”

"You've already written the report, that's great, this report of yours will definitely be carefully studied by the organization." Director Wang carefully put away Chen Qiang's report.

……

Director Wang submitted Chen Qiang's report, and only two days later, Director Wang brought news that the superior leaders attached great importance to Chen Qiang's report, and decided to immediately set up a preparatory committee of the National Sports Federation.

New China has just been founded, and it is indeed in great need of international living space, but now New China is not yet able to join international organizations, if it can be recognized by the International Olympic Committee, let the newly established National Sports Federation become China's Olympic Committee, it will be the first step for New China to step towards the world stage.

Originally, the All-China Sports Association recognized by the International Olympic Committee, but at this time, the Sports Association had already fled to Taipei, and the meeting was suspended, and there was not even a fixed contact address, which was the best time for the National Sports Federation to replace the National Sports Association and be recognized by the International Olympic Committee.

Just imagine, the current sports association has stopped working, and there is not even a contact address, the IOC can't find it even if it wants to find the sports association, and no one within the IOC will speak for this sports association that cannot be contacted.
