At the beginning of the last century, some China students contributed to Tianjin Youth magazine, asking "Three Questions about the Olympics": When can China send athletes to the Olympic Games? When will our athletes win the Olympic gold medal? When can our country hold the Olympic Games? After a hundred years of continuous pursuit, these three questions have been answered, and the Olympic dream of the Chinese nation has finally come true. Zhang Boling Olympic Games was held in the spring of 1909, when China took off. Zhang Boling, the president of Nankai University, has just returned from an inspection tour in Europe. At the awarding ceremony of a track and field sports meeting, he showed the photos of the fourth Olympic Games to college students with a slide projector. At that time, the word "Olympic" began to spread in China. The World Bulletin predicted the second Paris Olympic Games in 1900, which was the earliest Olympic Games record in China. Zhang Boling regarded this new thing as hope, and he decided to devote himself to education and forge the spirit of China people. Promote sports and strengthen the physique of China people. He founded Nankai University in Tianjin, and predicted that "the day of the Olympic Games will be the time when China takes off!" On the morning of May 28th, 1905, when the bell rang, Juren of Kyoto University Hall and Gong Sheng lined up to gather. They gave up silk robes and robes and put on uniform cotton sportswear, white shirts and tights. This sports meeting is the first time in China. As can be seen from this schedule, there are many events, including 100m running, high jump, long jump and throwing. This sports meeting became a major event in Beijing social circle at that time. Ambassadors and their wives and journalists from newspapers all over the world also watched the game. 19 10 Nanjing 10 June, another large-scale inter-school sports meeting showed a meaningful detail: in the high jump competition, Sun Baoxin, a player from North China, crossed the crossbar twice, but the braid on his head was knocked off twice, which made the referee shout, "Cut off the braid on his head!" Many athletes also shouted: "Cut the braid!" Just one year after the Olympic Games, with the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the Millennium monarchy came to an end.

However, at that time, saving the nation from subjugation was the top priority of the Chinese nation, and China and The way of the Olympic Games were also extremely bumpy. Liu Changchun, the first person in China Olympic Games, was the most famous sprinter in 1930s. His tortuous trip to the Olympics is the best testimony of this history. /KOOC-0/93/KOOC-0/September/KOOC-0/8, the Japanese Kwantung Army repeatedly threatened and lured Liu Changchun, and released false news for five consecutive times, falsely claiming that Liu Changchun would represent the so-called "Manchukuo" in the/KOOC-0/932 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
