Five years ago, representatives from all over the world gathered in Paris-the place where1894 announced the resumption of the Olympic Games-to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the resumption of the Olympic Games with us. In the past five years, the world has collapsed. Although the Olympic spirit has experienced everything that happened in these five years, she has no fear, no reprimand, and no victims of this disaster. The prospect of sudden opening proved that a brand-new important role was waiting for her.

The Olympic spirit is admired by young people who gradually become calm and confident. With the gradual decline of ancient civilization in the past, calmness and self-confidence have become more valuable support for ancient civilization; They will also become an indispensable pillar of the new civilization born in the storm in the future. Now, calmness and self-confidence are not our natural companions. People have been afraid since childhood, and fear has been with him all his life, knocking him down when he approaches the grave. In the face of such natural enemies who are good at disturbing their work and rest, human beings have learned to oppose courage, which is a virtue that was once praised by our ancestors. Can you imagine that contemporary people let the flower of courage wither in their hands? We know how to think about this problem in the future.

However, courage is only a martial virtue that creates heroes of the times. I said in a teaching paper before that the real medicine to eradicate fear is self-confidence rather than courage. Self-confidence always complements its sister's composure. So, let's review the essence of the Olympic spirit and the characteristics that distinguish the Olympic spirit from the pure competitive spirit. The Olympic spirit contains but transcends the spirit of competition.

I want to elaborate on this difference. Athletes appreciate their efforts. He likes the tension exerted on muscles and nerves, and because of this tension, even if he can't win, he will give people the feeling that victory is in sight. But this kind of fun remains in the hearts of athletes. To some extent, it is just fun. So imagine that when this inner happiness suddenly blends with the fun of nature and unrestrained art, when this happiness is haunted by sunshine, excited by music and treasured by a gymnasium with a cylindrical porch. This is the brilliant dream of the ancient Olympic spirit, which was born long ago on the banks of the Alfeus River. In the past thousands of years, it is this fascinating dream that has brought the ancient world together.

Now, we are at a turning point in history. Human beings are eager for progress, but often go astray because a correct idea is exaggerated. Teenagers are often out of balance by old and complicated teaching methods, stupid indulgence and reckless strict, poor and superficial philosophy. I think this is why we should ring the bell to reopen the Olympic era. People have long hoped to restore the sacrifice of strong muscles. We combined the Anglo-Saxon sports utilitarianism with the lofty and powerful ideas left over from ancient Greece, and created a new Olympic era. After evaluating the realistic possibility of hosting the Olympic Games in new york and London, I prayed to the immortal Greeks to find an idealistic medicine for this unexpected ingredient. Gentlemen, this is the masterpiece of 15-you just paid tribute to her. I'll be ashamed if your praise is addressed to people who work for them. The man didn't realize that he deserved such praise, because he just acted on an intuition stronger than his consciousness. But he happily accepted the praise of the Olympic ideal, and he was the first believer of this ideal.

I just recalled the celebration in June of 19 14. At that time, we seemed to be celebrating the Olympic ideal coming true again. Today, I want to see her in full bloom again, because from now on, if only a few people care about her, our cause will achieve nothing. At that time, it may be enough to have these people, but today it is not. It is necessary to contact people with the same interests. The fact is, why should the public be excluded from the Olympic spirit A young man's physical beauty and strong muscles, and his will to persist in exercising and winning will be linked to his ancestors' roster or his wallet by what noble laws? Although these contradictions have no legal basis, they are indeed more vital than the society that produced them. Perhaps there should be an autocratic decree supported by brutal militarism to deal a fatal blow to them.

Facing a brand-new world, we need to rectify it according to the principle that it is still utopia, but now it is mature enough to be used. Human beings must absorb all the forces left over from ancient times to build the future. The Olympic spirit is one of such forces, because the fact is that the Olympic spirit alone is not enough to ensure social peace, to distribute the right to produce and consume material necessities to human beings in a more balanced way, or even to provide free intellectual training opportunities for young people, so that they can keep their talents instead of staying in the situation of their parents' lives. However, the pursuit of strong muscles still needs the Olympic spirit. Strong muscles are the source of happiness, vitality, calmness and purity. Various forms of Olympic spirit endowed by the development of modern industry are bound to be enjoyed by citizens with the lowest status. This is the Olympic spirit of integrity and democracy. Today we lay the foundation for her.

The celebration ceremony was held in a very peaceful and joyful atmosphere. The ancient Supreme Council of Hervety and its respected chairman, senior representatives of Deus, the most generous and hospitable city leaders, world-renowned singers and a carefully selected and dynamic sports team gathered here, which established five reputations for this grand event: history, civic spirit, nature, youth and art.

May the lucky god who loves the brave be kind to the Belgian people. Not long ago, Belgium made a lofty gesture when bidding for the seventh Olympic Games next year.

The current situation is still grim. The dawn that is about to break is the dawn after the storm. But when the sun approaches noon, it will shine on the earth. The yellow-brown corn will weigh heavily on the reaper's arm.
