1918 was also an extremely important year in the history of Chinese sports. On April 10, 1918, the government jointly governed by the Kuomintang, the China Progressive Party, and the National Socialist Party was established. This was less than two years since the establishment of the National Government in 1916. The third reorganization in 2016 was different from the previous two in that the cabinet members of the China Democratic Party who originally belonged to the Liberation Association basically disappeared except Cai Yuanpei. The list of members of the Government Affairs Council is as follows: Chairman of the National Government: Sun Wen; Executive Vice-President: Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council: Xiong Xiling Deputy Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council: Ye Zuwen (in charge of finance, transportation, commerce), Zhou Zhiyun (in charge of industry, land and resources, agriculture and forestry), Tang Shaoyi (in charge of diplomacy) , Justice), Secretary-General Tan Yankai (in charge of education, public security) List of members of the Political Commissar Yuan: Xiong Xiling, Ye Zuwen, Zhou Zhiyun, Tang Shaoyi, Tan Yankai, Zhang Jingjiang, Li Zongren. Component departments: Zhang Jingjiang, Chairman of the Joint Reserve Management Committee of the Bank of China. Minister of Finance: Liao Zhongkai, Minister of Foreign Affairs: Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Defense: Li Zongren. Minister of Commerce: Zhang Jian, Minister of Justice: Xu Qian, Minister of Public Security: Hao Bing. Minister of Transport: Zhan Tianyou, Minister of Industry: Tan Kah Kee, Minister of Land and Resources: Tan Yankai, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry: Wang Jingwei, Minister of Labor: Zou Lu, Minister of Health: Xie Chi, Minister of Education: Cai Yuanpei. Governor of Hunan Province Tan Renfeng Governor of Hubei Province Yang Yongtai Governor of Guangxi Province Wang Zhixiang Governor of Fujian Province Lin Sen Governor of Jiangsu Province Ju Zheng Governor of Zhejiang Province Chen Yi Governor of Anhui Province Governor of Guangdong Province Chen Shao Governor of Jiangxi Province Lin Xiumei Sichuan Province Chang Zhanglan, Governor of Guizhou Province Liu Xianshi, Governor of Yunnan Province Li Gentan, Governor of Shaanxi Province, Chang Jingmu Mu, Mayor of Shanghai Liu Hongsheng, Mayor of Nanjing City, Yu Youren, Mayor of Wuhan City, Cao Rulin, Governor of Henan Province, Yang Du, except Cao Rulin, who succeeded Wang Zhenyu¡¯s younger brother Wang Zhenbang's appointment as mayor of Wuhan triggered heated discussions. The only position that the Kuomintang lost in the entire list of the Government Affairs Council of the third National Government was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. According to Wang Zhenyu's wishes, Tang Shaoyi, the former Minister of the Kuomintang department, became the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Wang Zhengting was sacked in this government reshuffle. But it was a blessing in disguise. Wang Zhengting's new position was actually the chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee. Wang Zhengting, who was frustrated in his officialdom, accepted this new appointment without saying anything. What he didn't expect was that this position would make him still be dismissed many years later. Remembered by history. The headquarters of the Chinese Olympic Committee was set up in Shanghai. It is said that this was Wang Zhenyu¡¯s request. For this reason, Wang Zhenyu also summoned Wang Zhengting, the first chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee, in Wuhan alone. The then Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, Xiong Xiling, even wrote an inscription for the Chinese Olympic Committee. Words: "Develop sports and strengthen national institutions." Wang Zhengting originally thought that the Olympic Committee was just a job to accommodate him, but after he was personally received by Wang Zhenyu and interviewed for more than three hours, his view changed. When he arrived at the headquarters of the Chinese Olympic Committee in Shanghai, He firmly believes in what Marshal Wang said that he will create a big scene. The Olympic Committee headquarters, which was converted from a Sihang warehouse on the Huangpu River, is almost the most luxurious office building of all Olympic committees in this era. There are more than 400 staff members who maintain the daily operations of the entire organization. Wang Zhenyu uses precious military funds to The Chinese government has allocated 300 million yuan as start-up capital for the Chinese Olympic Committee and requires the Chinese Olympic Games to immediately come up with a twenty-year vision plan. And Wang Zhengting did not live up to Wang Zhenyu's expectations. He immediately organized these sports enthusiasts from fresh graduates from various universities to start working day and night. On May 5th, a 200,000-word planning report was placed on the left Wang Zhenyu¡¯s desk. To the great surprise of Chen Brei, who was familiar with Wang Zhenyu¡¯s habits, Wang Zhenyu took the initiative to cancel the meeting plan with the British and French consuls on this day, and instead spent an entire afternoon talking to Wang Zhengting alone, reading the plan while communicating. Also attending this meeting were Zhang Boling, Shen Siliang, Yuan Dunli, Hao Gengsheng, Gao Zi, Wu Yunrui, Ma John, and Jiang Xiangqing. According to Wang Zhenyu¡¯s opinion, the charter of the Chinese Olympic Committee finally announced was named "Republic of China" Constitution of the Sports Federation and the Chinese Olympic Movement Committee. According to the provisions of this charter, the Sports Federation of the Republic of China is a non-governmental sports association, while the Chinese Olympic Movement Committee is a subordinate organization of the International Olympic Committee, and will subsequently submit a membership application to the International Olympic Committee. As a non-governmental organization, the Sports Federation of the Republic of China adopts a membership system and has branches in various provinces and cities across the country. Its main work is to select national team members for relevant sports at all levels, organize various sports competitions, and popularize and promote modern sports. Enrich national cultural life and so on. Its organizational structure is elected through indirect elections. First, national sports committee members are elected at the county level with one indicator per county to participate in the work of provincial and municipal Olympic committees (also sports federations). Secondly, they are elected according to provinces, regions, population The proportionally elected representatives will work with the heads of each sport to form the members of the Sports Federation of the Republic of China and the Chinese Olympic Committee. This organization will exist as the highest authority of the Sports Federation of the Republic of China and the Chinese Olympic Committee. Elections According to regulations, it is held every four years, and re-election is allowed, but the age of the official staff is not allowed to exceed seventy years old, and honor is not limited thereto. The person responsible for the daily work of the entire organization will be a chairman, three vice-chairmen, and a secretary. The 15-member Executive Committee is led by a five-member Presidium composed of the Chairman, with the same term of four years. As for the current focus and direction of the entire organization's work, Wang Zhenyu clearly put forward three points: First, coordinate and cooperate with local governments to formulate a sports venue grade standard, which will be constructed in each provincial capital over a ten-year period. Large-scale Olympic sports centers with a capacity of more than 50,000 people are not allowed to exceed 20,000 outside the provincial capital. At the same time, we must obtain land allocation from local governments for all public primary schools, middle schools and universities to build sports venues. This must also be done in factories and mines. Provincial and municipal Olympic committees are required to establish relationships with local primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, and large factories and mines, and encourage sports enthusiasts in these places to form sports clubs. Second, establish the Chinese Football Association, designate football as the national sport, and promote it on a large scale across the country. It plans to hold the four-year China Cup Football Tournament (with representatives from all provinces and cities participating) and the Football Club League within two years. . Third, establish mechanisms such as coach training and athlete selection, and be prepared to participate in the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, strive to achieve good results, and change the world's views on the Chinese physique. They have money, people, and direction. If Wang Zhengting and others can't do their jobs well, it will be a joke. It is worth mentioning that at this time, the International Olympic Committee was not as rich as later generations. The then Chairman of the Olympic Committee , the French founder of the International Olympic Movement, Coubertin, even used his own money to promote the sport, which directly led to his financial difficulties in his later years. However, history has changed here. When the report of China's application for membership appeared on his desk, the father of sports who had suffered a lot of hardships shed tears with excitement, because the Chinese sent not only an application for membership, but also There is a remittance of 100,000 U.S. dollars and an invitation, inviting Mr. Coubertin of the International Olympic Committee to lead a delegation of no more than fifty people to come to China to guide the development of the Olympic work. If he can come, the Chinese Olympic Committee will provide The Antwerp Olympics provides a sponsorship of US$200,000. In August 1918, Coubertin and his party of 20 people boarded a cruise ship of the China Ocean Shipping Company to transport the returning expeditionary force, and headed for the mysterious East together with the Chinese soldiers whose faces were full of homesickness. Coubertin in China A total of three months of visit and guidance were given, including an inspection of the Shanghai Olympic Sports Center, which was the first to be constructed. This stadium with a capacity of 80,000 seats made Coubertin wish he could move the Olympic Games directly to be held here, and the Chinese Olympic Committee What was shown during this inspection made Coubertin even more satisfied, because he saw a mature and efficient organization in operation, which made him envious. After inspecting the Wuhan Olympic Center and the first Wuhan Sports Games in Wuhan, Coubertin had dinner with Wang Zhenyu, an Eastern authoritarian warlord. Coubertin praised Wang Zhenyu as an elegant and polite man, and Wang Zhengting, chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee, was directly appointed by Coubertin as the third vice president of the International Olympic Committee. ,,. "While the Chinese people's sports career was booming, in a basement in Germany, a secret meeting to determine the fate of the world was going on intensely. Yu Dawei never dreamed that he, an ordinary sponsored overseas student, would be assigned to participate in such an important underground meeting, and the things to be discussed in this meeting were so appalling that it made his blood boil as a Chinese. After the February Revolution broke out, the Germans failed without any surprise. This time it was a complete failure. The Allied forces unceremoniously entered German territory. If it were not for the British mediation, the Ruhr industrial zone would now have become It became part of the French territory. This damn war caused the Germans to lose their few colonies. The domestic conflicts further intensified and the society fell into unprecedented turmoil and unrest. But these are not important. What is important is the tolerance of Germany. The Croatian aristocrats and capitalists were not reconciled to Germany's defeat. They were busy suppressing the domestic workers' uprising while secretly planning to find ways to create conditions and opportunities for Germany to rise again. At this time, a Chinese diplomat named Wang Chonghui passed by Yu Dawei, a 21-year-old Chinese student studying abroad, got on the line with these damn Germans. Although the Germans hated the Chinese army in the European War, theyThey are about to drown and have no better choice now. They must grasp the last straw.
