ABSTRACT

To strengthen people's bodies we should promote and develop physical exercise and sport so as to improve our race and save our country. In ancient China, hunting and archery were compulsory in schools. In modern times, exercise and sport are practised in powerful Western countries. Their people, men and women, the old and the young, all participate in exercise. In our country, although there is some progress in schools in recent years the situation is far from satisfactory. Some schools have concentrated on training top athletes and have ignored the majority's physical education. The staff of Party offices, the social services and the army is too lazy to engage in any physical activity. They don't show any interest in exercise. If this situation continues, it will destroy our nation.
