1932 On July 30th, the 10th Olympic Games was held in Los Angeles, USA. Liu Changchun, a student of Northeastern University, attended the meeting as the only athlete representative in China, and wrote a historical chapter of China's formal participation in the Olympic Games. Liu Changchun: Liu Changchun190910/KLOC-0 was born in the home of a poor farmer in Xiaoping Island, Dalian on October 25th. When I was a child, I especially loved sports. When I was studying at Shahekou Central Primary School in Dalian, I was often slapped by Japanese teachers because of group fights between Japanese and Japanese pupils. This planted the seeds of hatred in his young mind. He made up his mind to play football and sprint hard, and he was bent on overwhelming the Japanese through sports. 14 years old, in the track and field competition between Chinese and Japanese primary and secondary schools held in "Guandong Prefecture" (referring to the area south of the line from Pulandian to Qiziwo in Liaodong Peninsula), the score of11.8.59 seconds has far exceeded the level of middle school students at that time. After graduating from Dalian No.2 Middle School, I worked as an apprentice in Dalian Glass Factory, during which I worked hard and further improved my 100-meter performance. 1927, at the spring sports meeting sponsored by China Youth Association, his 100-meter performance reached 1 1 sec. In the same year, by chance, he was discovered by Sun Qingbo, a member of Northeastern University football team who went to Dalian to participate in the competition. Zhang Xueming, the younger brother of General Zhang Xueliang, took him back to Shenyang and was admitted as a preparatory student by Northeastern University. After the establishment of the Department of Physical Education, it was officially transferred to the Department of Physical Education of Northeastern University. 1929 10, General Zhang Xueliang invited the first-class athletes from Germany and Japan to Shenyang to participate in the track and field competitions of China, Japan and Germany. The German track and field team that came to Shenyang won the runner-up in the 9th Olympic Games. The Japanese athletes who participated in the competition were all national players, with strong strength and competitiveness. China track and field team is based in Northeastern University. The competition was held in the gymnasium of Northeastern University. As a result, Liu Changchun, a student from Northeastern University, was only one inch behind Yanrulatbier, a German sprinter, in the1000-meter race, ranking second with a score of10 "8, leaving all other German sprinters, Japanese sprinters Yoshioka Lund and Scud Okakenjiro behind. In the 200m race, Liu Changchun won the second place with a score of 21"6. This sprint was the best in the Far East at that time, and China people ascended the throne of the Far East sprint for the first time. In recognition of Liu Changchun's outstanding achievements, President Zhang Xueliang awarded him a special prize and a special monthly allowance for 30 yuan. President Zhang Xueliang also started as the instructor of the track and field teams of Liu Changchun and Northeastern University with high salary, retained German track and field stars, maintained the world record of 5000m long-distance running, and strengthened the training of the track and field teams of Northeastern University. Just as Liu Changchun's sprint performance has improved rapidly, a bright future is in sight. 193 1 year, Japanese imperialism launched the "September 18th Incident" and occupied the whole Northeast by force. 1March 932, the "Puppet Manchukuo" was established. Northeastern University was forced into exile in Peiping, and Liu Changchun returned home alone the next day after the September 18th Incident. The Japanese imperialist aggression was opposed by all countries and people in the world, including the people of China. In order to get rid of its international isolation, the Japanese had the idea of Liu Changchun and directed what Liu Changchun called a "farce to represent Manchukuo in the Olympic Games". Use all kinds of despicable means to force Liu Changchun to submit. One of the technologies is to monitor and track Liu Changchun's whereabouts. The day after Liu Changchun returned to Dalian, he was sent by the local Japanese police for questioning to find out his next plan and whereabouts. In order to avoid the entanglement of spies, Liu Changchun arrived in Peiping by boat via Tianjin the next day. The second technique is to seduce with "high officials and high salaries". 1In February and March, 932, the Japanese sent people to the Liu family twice. For the first time, they asked the Liu family to write to Liu Changchun and ask him to return to Dalian, saying, "As long as he returns to Dalian, Manchukuo will give him the biggest official in the Education Department and the Sports Department." For the second time, Liu Changchun was explicitly asked to represent Manchukuo in the Olympic Games. The enemy's wishful thinking ended in failure; The third technique is to create facts first and force Liu to submit. Following the instructions of the master, the puppet Manchukuo newspaper published the news that Liu Changchun and others would represent Manchukuo in the 10th Olympic Games. Instead of the puppet government of Manchukuo, Japanese imperialism also declared the list of Liu Changchun and others who participated in the Olympic Games to the Olympic Committee. However, regardless of the truth, the Olympic Committee telegraphed the proposal of Manchukuo and demanded that the application for the national flag and national anthem of Manchukuo at that time be submitted quickly. When Liu Changchun learned in the newspaper that "Liu Changchun and Yu Xiwei will represent Manchukuo in the International Olympic Games held in July in Los Angeles, USA", he was extremely angry and immediately issued a statement in Ta Kung Pao: "If I still have a conscience and my blood is still flowing, how can I forget my motherland and be an ox and a horse for the puppet Manchukuo?" It attacked Japanese imperialism and exposed its reactionary plot to the world. The Olympic Games have been held for nine times from the beginning to 193 1. Although the China municipal government began to contact the Olympic Games on 1924, and Song Ruhai was sent to visit the 9th Olympic Games on 1928, he never formally participated. On the eve of the 10th Olympic Games, many people of insight in China put forward a motion that China should send representatives to expose the Japanese conspiracy. The Nanjing government of the Kuomintang, fearing to offend the Japanese, did not send representatives to participate in the declaration on the pretext of insufficient funds, but only sent Shen Siliang, director-general of the Sports Federation, to the United States as an observer. Someone mentioned this to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was furious and swore angrily: "Niang Xipi, the * * * production party calls for revolution every day, and the more fierce it is, the more it will hit me on the head." You blind people came to me for this scandal. I don't care whether the Olympic Games are Olympic Games or not. "Scared a lot of people never mention it again. When General Zhang Xueliang heard the news, he said angrily, "Everything has its merits. It would have been a good thing to go abroad to participate in the competition. How can it be impossible because the commander-in-chief does not support it? " "The government doesn't support me." I said, "I'll pay for this money. "President Zhang Xueliang donated 8,000 yuan for Liu Changchun's travel expenses, invited Liu Changchun to his official residence, and encouraged Liu Changchun to say," Now, our hometown is occupied by the Japanese invaders, and the country is in crisis. More ambitious young people like you are needed to win glory for the country at the Olympic Games. " "I believe that people all over the country also hope that you can achieve good results in the competition and grow up the aspirations of China people". On July 1932, at the graduation ceremony of the physical education department of Northeastern University, President Zhang Xueliang personally announced that Liu Changchun, a student of Northeastern University, and Song, a professor of physical education department of Northeastern University, would represent China in the 10th Olympic Games. At this time, there is only one month before the opening of the Olympic Games, and the deadline for registration is even shorter. In order to register Liu Changchun in time, Mr. Zhang Boling, president of Nankai University, director of the board of directors of Northeastern University and director of the National Sports Federation, sent an urgent telegram to the Olympic Games and finally signed up. Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts in Qi Xin, everything was ready soon, and everything was ready to go. 1On the morning of July 8th, 932 10, Liu Changchun, with the great trust of the people, set off from Shanghai by Wilson, the president of the mail ship, and went to the United States to participate in the Olympic Games. After a whole 25-day long voyage at sea, I arrived in Los Angeles at 4 pm on July 29th. He was greeted at the dock by representatives who went to the United States to visit the Olympic Games in advance, Shen Siliang, director-general of the National Sports Association of China (Shen Siliang was then the president of Shanghai St. John University and a member of the Olympic Committee), students studying in the United States in China and Shen, a former physical education professor at Northeastern University, and hundreds of overseas Chinese representatives. On July 30th, the day after Liu Changchun arrived in LA, the 10th Olympic Games officially opened. At the grand opening ceremony, China entered the stadium with the eighth place, and the team improvised. Liu Changchun holds the national flag, followed by Shen Siliang, the general representative, followed by a four-person team of Song, Zhou, Shen and (American, Shanghai Xiqing Sports director). The opening ceremony lasted for two hours and ended at 4: 30 pm. On July 3 1 day, the sports competition officially began. Liu Changchun took part in the 100 meter preliminaries that day and was assigned to the second group. Six athletes took part in the competition and won the first place. As a result of the competition, Liu Changchun wrote in his diary: The first place was Xing Busen, winning 4 yards, and the score was10.9 seconds, and the rest was fifth, which was around 1 1 second. At least the first 50 or 60 meters ahead, the last 80 meters or so, was overtaken by the latecomers, originally due to one-month graduation exam, sailing fatigue, lack of practice. On August 2 1, Liu Changchun set off for home and arrived in Shanghai on September 16. In the 10th Olympic Games, although Liu Changchun didn't get the ranking, people will never forget his spirit of defying difficulties, fighting bravely and winning glory for our country.
