2024-03-12 00:34:45

At the just-concluded National Two Sessions, sports-related content received widespread attention. From “Erbin” being out of the circle to the ice and snow economy boom, from increasing the time between classes to taking good physical education classes, from highlighting the “multiplier effect” of the event economy to preparing for the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics, from the deep integration of fitness and health to sports assistance Rural revitalization…sports have become high-frequency words in the mouths of representatives and committee members, and have become an indispensable part of people’s lives.

Sports carry the dream of national prosperity and national rejuvenation. If sports are strong, China will be strong, and if national sports are prosperous, sports will be prosperous. To speed up the construction of a sports power, we must adhere to the people-centered development idea, regard the people as the main body of the development of sports, and take meeting the people’s fitness needs and promoting people’s all-round development as the starting point and goal of sports work. Not long ago, the National Bureau of Statistics released the “Statistical Bulletin of the National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China in 2023”, which showed that there were 4.593 million sports venues across the country throughout the year, with a sports venue area of ​​4.07 billion square meters and a per capita sports venue area of ​​2.89 square meters. Throughout the year, Chinese athletes won 165 world championships in 32 events and set a total of 20 world records. Numbers speak for themselves—the construction of a sports power is on the road, and various goals are being continuously achieved.

At the same time, we should also be clearly aware that there are still many shortcomings and weaknesses that need to be resolved in the construction of a sports power. Old problems such as uneven and uncoordinated development in various fields of sports still need to be solved; sports management systems and mechanisms are difficult to adapt to new development needs. New contradictions such as poverty and insufficient innovation capabilities have become increasingly prominent; sports reform has lagged behind, systemic corruption has occurred in the football field, and the performance of the “three major goals” has continued to decline. This is a clear gap between the requirements of the Party Central Committee and the expectations of the people.

To solve these problems, we must be guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions and important instructions on sports, and find the key points and breakthrough points to solve the problem. We need to keep in mind that high-quality development is the last word in the new era, fully implement the new development concept, and promote sports as an important way to improve people’s health, an important means to satisfy the people’s yearning for a better life, promote people’s all-round development, and promote economic and social development. An important driving force for development and an important platform to demonstrate the country’s cultural soft power. We need to firmly grasp the key strategy of “reform and innovation”, persist in establishing first and then breaking down, seeking progress while maintaining stability, building consensus on reform, forming a synergy for reform, and striving to solve the deep-seated institutional obstacles and structural contradictions in the sports field.

Reform can only be carried out, not completed. The government work report clearly proposes to increase the intensity of sports reform. There are only 11 years left to achieve the goal of building a sports power in 2035. The construction of a sports power has also reached a critical period of climbing uphill and overcoming obstacles. Facing the complex situation and arduous tasks of sports reform, the sports system must focus on key areas and key issues and strengthen reforms. Top-level design, build a sports management system and mechanism with clear functions, smooth management, collaborative and efficient, actively explore the “three major ball” development model in China, ensure that football reform advances in depth along the right track, accelerate reform in the field of competitive sports, and create a new national model system, adhere to the “open door to open sports”, deepen the supply-side structural reform of sports, and actively cultivate new productive forces. It is necessary to uphold the party’s leadership, strengthen party building, carry forward the spirit of struggle, strengthen discipline and anti-corruption, provide strong political guarantee for the construction of a sports power, grasp the implementation of reforms with the spirit of “nailing nails”, dare to gnaw hard bones, and keep a close eye on , Repeatedly until the results are achieved.

General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions at last year’s Central Economic Work Conference on implementation work to the letter, to implement with vigor and resoluteness, to be truthful and pragmatic, and to dare to do good deeds. The education system must resolutely implement the Party Central Committee Various decision-making arrangements and the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions and important instructions on sports require not only the determination to work hard and work hard for a long time, but also the courage to reform and innovate and forge ahead, and more importantly, the courage to fight and The courage and ability to be good at fighting, the unswerving direction of deepening reforms, and the unremitting efforts to build a sports power in 2035!
