Fighting poverty, filmmakers are in action.
Recently, Jackie Chan, who has always been a positive energy benchmark in the entertainment industry, proposed to organize film and television artists to fulfill their social public welfare responsibilities and participate in poverty alleviation at this year’s National People’s Congress. He believes that entertainers should become the vanguard of poverty alleviation forces, give full play to their social influence, and call for serious investigation to achieve accurate poverty alleviation in the true sense.
Jackie Chan proposed that artists should help the poor.It is duty-bound to attack hard
Poverty alleviation is a major livelihood project and the common responsibility of the whole society, and film and television artists are duty-bound! Jackie Chan’s initiative has won wide recognition and positive response from the industry. On the occasion of the two sessions, the Media Center of the Film Channel specially planned a large-scale special topic of "Fighting Poverty and Fighting Filmmakers in Action", and carried out an echo report of "On-site suggestions and positive responses".
During the two sessions, frontline reporters interviewed Jackie Chan, Feng Yuanzheng, Gong Hanlin, Jianqi Huo, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Kaili and others on topics such as "Precise Poverty Alleviation", "Actor’s Social Responsibility" and "Star Public Welfare", and they all received positive responses.
Off-site, we invite literary and art workers who are keen on public welfare and have a strong sense of social responsibility to respond to Jackie Chan’s appeal and participate in discussions on topics such as "precise poverty alleviation".

Therefore, he hopes to call on all walks of life to jointly fight the tough battle against poverty, and at the same time, he expresses his gratitude for everyone’s support and response. "Over the years, I have been supported by the performing arts, and I have called for everything. They all believe me and I thank them. It is much more convenient to do charity now. "
As a senior in the entertainment industry, Wang Xueyin is also one who fully supports the fight against poverty. Facing our camera, he said: Accurate poverty alleviation is a very great commitment of the country, which can make the lives of farmers in our country better and better, which reflects the strength of our country. And let the whole society understand the good intentions of the country, what is precision poverty alleviation, and what role it can play after precision poverty alleviation.

In response to Jackie Chan’s call, young people in the entertainment industry are also taking action. Zhou Dongyu, a young actress, will bring her story in the interview. Having filmed in Bailihuang, she has a deeper understanding of poverty. Combining her own experience, she expressed her support for poverty alleviation and her love for beautiful rural areas: "To tell the truth, I like some beautiful rural areas, but now some places in our hometown are also quite poor and have not paved the way. Therefore, we must work hard to make every rural area and every mountainous area more beautiful. This is also my great wish. "
Yang Yang established Sunshine Special Fund.

He was awarded the Beijing Development Action Ambassador by the China Development Research Foundation, and he also has his own understanding of precision poverty alleviation. In the interview, he said: "Accurate poverty alleviation is a more efficient and scientific way to help the poor, that is, who should use the money, how to use it, and how to use it, which is more targeted." Yang Yang, which set up the Sunshine Special Fund, is doing its bit to help more children, hoping that the children will not lose at the starting line.
2018 is the first year to implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up, and a crucial year to build a well-off society in an all-round way and get rid of poverty. "Let the poor people and poor areas join the whole country to enter a well-off society in an all-round way" is not only a slogan, but also a cohesive force. Accurate poverty alleviation requires the participation of the whole society. As a public figure, we should stand at the forefront of poverty alleviation. On the road to poverty alleviation, only when everyone does their duty and contributes can the trickle converge into a powerful and majestic force.
The Film Channel Media Center will gather together, give full play to the influence of its own media platform, draw attention from the society with the help of the influence of public figures, unite the forces from all walks of life, participate in precision poverty alleviation together, and jointly launch the historic decisive battle against poverty! In the future, the movie channel will invite more filmmakers to join the action of "getting rid of poverty". (Names are sorted by surname pinyin)
China news agency, Shanghai, July 28th (Reporter Li Shuzheng) "Shanghai has ‘ Magic Capital Enchantment ’ Typhoon can’t ‘ Break the defense ’ 。” Whenever a typhoon strikes, the first reaction of Shanghai netizens is often like this.
On the 28th, the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory announced that the impact of Typhoon Fireworks on Shanghai was basically over. In the face of the "fireworks" which ranked first in rainfall and second in maximum wind speed in the process of typhoon influence in recent ten years, Shanghai passed safely without major accidents and accidents, and the city was running smoothly.
What exactly is the "magic capital enchantment" that Shanghai people talk about?
"Enchantment" originally refers to an area protected by some supernatural power, forming a barrier separated from the outside world. In 2012, the "Magic Capital Enchantment" first appeared in Shanghai media reports on typhoons, meaning that the operation of this mega-city was not invaded by typhoons.
Shanghai is an insulator of typhoon? Looking back at meteorological data, this is not the case. In the "Magic has a typhoon ‘ Enchantment ’ " This statement appeared in the past ten years, which is precisely the decade when Shanghai suffered the worst typhoon since 1949.
According to the data of Tropical Cyclone Data Center of China Meteorological Bureau, there have been nine typhoons landing in Shanghai since 1949, including four in this decade.
Whether it’s Typhoon Phoenix, which landed in Shanghai in 2014, Typhoon Abe, Lark and Wambia, which landed once a week in 2018, or Typhoon Fireworks & HELIP; … The pressure of flood control and typhoon prevention in Shanghai is not small.
"What is there in Shanghai ‘ Magic Capital Enchantment ’ It’s just that someone is guarding. " On the social platform, there is also another kind of "unbelieving" voice.
Before the typhoon "fireworks" came, a video of "tying the plane" became popular on the Internet. Affected by the typhoon, all flights in and out of Shanghai Pudong and Hongqiao airports were cancelled on the 25th. China Eastern Airlines tethered the aircraft to ensure that the aircraft would not move when the typhoon struck.
"Why is there a kayak in the subway station?" On the 24th, some people found this "fresh object" in Zhongshan Park Station of Metro Line 2, and they were curious to ask. In fact, in response to the "Typhoon" fireworks, more than 50,000 policemen in Shanghai are waiting for their death. Canoeing in the subway station is one of the relief materials prepared in the previous flood control and typhoon prevention drills.
According to the characteristics of the police situation in the flood season in previous years and the actual situation in the jurisdiction, the Shanghai fire department improved the emergency plan for 608 underpasses, 13 river-crossing tunnels and 457 sections prone to water accumulation in Shanghai. There are 37 pre-garrison points in some areas. Before the "fireworks" came, 121 flood control vehicles, 86 boats, 465 pumps and more than 6,000 sets of water rescue and life-saving equipment were ready.
By 12: 00 on the 25th, before the first landing of Fireworks, Shanghai had transferred more than 360,000 people, including construction workers working outside the first-line seawall, residents living in dilapidated houses and shed houses in the field, construction workers working in temporary houses on the construction site, and boat people entering Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind.
"Would rather ‘ Ten against nine empty ’ " It is a vivid embodiment of Shanghai’s concept of putting people’s lives and property first.
"There are 54 sections of roads with accumulated water, 15 residential areas with accumulated water, and 13 underpasses with accumulated water. At present, except for 2 roads and 7 underpasses, the remaining accumulated water has been eliminated … …” During the typhoon "Fireworks" affecting Shanghai, the "Flood Control and Typhoon Prevention Map" formed by the "One Network Unified Management" flood control and typhoon prevention command system has been updated in real time.
Relying on the construction of "unified management through one network", the "urban brain" function of Shanghai’s urban transportation centers at the two levels has gradually emerged, and the early warning and judgment have become more accurate.
Pudong New Area Urban Operation Center said that the application scenario of flood control and typhoon prevention has realized the automation of the response to the plan. Under the command of version 3.0 of "Urban Brain", the flood control and typhoon prevention have realized rapid response and scientific scheduling.
According to the statistics of Pudong New Area Urban Transportation Platform, as of 0: 00 on the 26th, during the period of typhoon "fireworks", the platform has accepted 1,152 requests from citizens for flood control and typhoon prevention.
When Shanghainese talk about "Magic Capital Enchantment", what are they talking about? Perhaps it is not some supernatural force, but everyone’s "Shanghai". (End)
Cailian News on January 26th (Reporter Wang Haichun)A high-standard meeting held by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development today has become the focus of attention of all parties. The theme of this meeting is closely related to the coordination mechanism of real estate financing which is highly concerned by the market.
On January 26th, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development held a meeting to deploy the coordination mechanism of urban real estate financing. At the meeting, Ni Hong, Party Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, pointed out that accelerating the implementation of the coordination mechanism of urban real estate financing was effective, supporting the development and construction of real estate projects, and meeting the reasonable financing needs of real estate enterprises with different ownership equally.
According to the information released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in official website, the heads of the relevant departments of the Central Finance Office and the Central Finance Office, as well as the relevant heads of the housing and urban-rural construction departments (commissions) of various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and the heads of 35 key city governments attended the meeting.
In view of the current financing difficulties of some real estate projects, the meeting stressed that all localities should focus on projects, pay close attention to research and put forward a list of real estate projects that can be given financing support, coordinate financial institutions within their respective administrative regions to issue loans, and accurately and effectively support reasonable financing needs.
The meeting demanded that the credit funds should be operated in a closed way and used in compliance, and resolutely prevent misappropriation. At the provincial level, it is necessary to track and monitor the implementation and strengthen supervision and guidance. At the national level, an information platform for urban real estate financing coordination mechanism projects will be established, and weekly scheduling and monthly notification will be implemented. It is understood that before the end of this month, the first batch of projects can win loans after landing.
The chief researcher of Guangdong Housing Policy Research Center pointed out that this meeting has become the focus of attention of all parties because it is related to how to implement the coordination mechanism of real estate financing.
"Forming a specific project landing, the coordination mechanism will have practical significance, and the landing of the project will help to better explore a more mature financing coordination mechanism. Judging from the contents announced at the meeting, the high-level officials made it clear that the main responsibility, management responsibility and territorial responsibility of the competent authorities should be brought into play to solve the distrust between banks and housing enterprises. While forcing real estate enterprises to strengthen their management, this mechanism also puts forward requirements for banks to improve their ability to identify and control risks. Only through joint coordination and efforts can we truly implement support for stable enterprises. " Li Yujia said.
According to the information released by the State Financial Supervision and Administration, the General Financial Supervision and Administration held a meeting on January 26 to deploy and promote the implementation of the coordination mechanism of urban real estate financing. The main responsible persons of various regulatory bureaus, some regulatory branches of the General Administration of Financial Supervision, as well as national commercial banks, city commercial banks, provincial rural credit cooperatives and other institutions attended the meeting.
The meeting stressed that financial institutions should attach great importance to it, strengthen organizational leadership, establish internal mechanisms and clarify working rules. For projects that meet the credit conditions, it is necessary to establish a green channel for credit granting, optimize the approval process, shorten the approval time limit, and actively meet the reasonable financing needs. For projects that encounter temporary difficulties in development and construction, but the funds are basically balanced, we will not blindly lend, cut off loans, or press loans, but support them by extending existing loans, adjusting repayment arrangements, and adding new loans. At the same time, financial institutions should strengthen the closed management of funds to prevent the misappropriation of credit funds.
Previously, on January 12, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the General Administration of Financial Supervision jointly issued the Notice on Establishing a Coordination Mechanism for Urban Real Estate Financing. The circular is clear, giving full play to the leading coordination role of the city government, establishing a coordination mechanism for urban real estate financing in cities at prefecture level and above, judging the real estate market situation and real estate financing demand, coordinating and solving the difficulties and problems existing in real estate financing, and combining the development and construction of real estate projects and the relevant situation of project development enterprises according to the principle of fairness and justice, putting forward a list of real estate projects that can be given financing support, pushing financial institutions and providing financing support.
Experts in the industry believe that the establishment of a coordination mechanism for urban real estate financing is actually to find a win-win point, and to accurately support the reasonable financing needs of real estate projects by distinguishing group risks from project risks. With the support of such favorable policies, the lending speed of financial institutions for some projects is expected to accelerate in the future.
According to Yan Yuejin, research director of Yiju Research Institute, the establishment of a coordination mechanism will help the financial sector and the housing sector to coordinate their operations and give play to the accuracy and timeliness of policies, which is an important measure to promote a virtuous circle of finance and real estate.
"According to the document, the coordination mechanism is headed by the deputy mayor of the city government in charge of housing and construction, and a real estate financing coordination mechanism with local housing and construction departments and agencies dispatched by the General Administration of Financial Supervision as member units is established." Li Yujia said.
The industry believes that the relevant departments take the lead, which shows that the regulatory authorities attach great importance to this mechanism, and this coordination mechanism has a strong landing on the practical level in classifying and financing housing enterprises.
Yan Yuejin pointed out that for high-quality housing enterprises, there are four main criteria for obtaining support, including normal development and construction, adequate collateral, reasonable assets and liabilities, and guaranteed repayment sources.
"This standard has a strong reference significance. According to this standard, housing enterprises can improve their work from the perspectives of engineering, assets, finance and sales, so that enterprises can meet relevant standards and obtain financing support." Yan Yuejin said.
It further stated that for enterprises with short-term capital pressure, it is necessary to prevent the situation of "loan withdrawal and loan pressure", and at the same time, it is necessary to provide relevant support through extension, adjustment of repayment arrangements and new loans.
"For enterprises that violate the law or evade debts, they should make risk warnings to financial institutions such as banks." Yan Yuejin said.
Li Yujia pointed out that credit is based on trust, so the purpose of establishing a coordination mechanism is to establish a docking platform for both parties to fully communicate; However, whether to lend or not will still be in accordance with the bank risk control and credit approval process. At the landing level of specific projects, it will be market-oriented, legal and voluntary, and will not be mandatory.
"One of the key factors is to consolidate the main responsibilities of all parties and explore new mechanisms and models. For example, housing enterprises should standardize financial data, operate in good faith, bid farewell to the highly leveraged model, and let banks trust housing enterprises. Banks should also increase the transformation of business systems and risk control models, instead of blindly adhering to the old model, that is, taking the implicit government guarantee, collateral and the rise in the value of collateral as the conditions for capital investment. " Li Yujia added.
Wang Xiaoyu, chief analyst of Zhuge Data Research Center, said that under the current market background, housing enterprises have weak investment confidence, and they are relatively cautious in taking land and starting new construction. From a macro point of view, this policy is a further measure of financial support for housing enterprises, and it is a favorable policy for housing enterprises.
"At the same time, it should be pointed out that financing can solve the current cash flow crisis and improve the liquidity of funds, but in the long run, the development of enterprises still needs to rely on their own hematopoietic capacity." Wang Xiaoyu said.
BEIJING, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) According to the latest weather forecast, affected by strong cold air, there will be a large-scale gale cooling and rain and snow weather process from north to south in China from 16th to 18th. The temperature will drop by 8 ~ 10℃ in most parts of the central and eastern regions, and the temperature will drop by more than 12℃ in some areas. There are 4 ~ 6 northerly winds in most areas north of the Yangtze River, and the gusts can reach 7 ~ 8.
Cold air has caused temperatures in Northeast China and North China to hit a new low in winter.
In November, several rounds of cold air continuously pulled many places in China from late autumn to early winter from north to south, and some areas ushered in the first snowfall or "coldest day" in the second half of the year.
Taking the 14th as an example, the temperatures in Northeast China, North China, Huanghuai and other places dropped significantly, with most areas in Northeast China and North China spending the coldest day since this winter.
According to the weather forecast, the highest temperature in the north-central part of Northeast China and the eastern part of Inner Mongolia fell below freezing point on 14th, while the lowest temperature dropped below minus 10℃. For Harbin, Changchun and many other places, it is the first time this winter to experience that the temperature is below 0℃ all day, and the highest temperatures in Beijing and Tianjin will also hit a new low this winter. It is estimated that by the 15th, Beijing, Shijiazhuang and other places in North China are expected to refresh the lowest temperature since the second half of this year.
Sun Jun, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said that the cold air currently affecting the central and eastern regions began to affect China on the 13th, and the impact period was mainly concentrated on the 13th and 14th.
"The current round of cold air has a small influence range and weak intensity, mainly affecting northeast China, North China, Huanghuai and Jianghuai areas. The cooling range reaches 4 C-6 C, and the local area exceeds 8 C. At the same time, the above areas are accompanied by 4-5 northerly winds." Sun Jun said.
According to reports, as far as the cooling situation is concerned, in this round of cooling, the cooling rate in Hebei is relatively large. Among them, from 8: 00 on the 13th to 8: 00 on the 14th, the temperature drop in mountainous areas in western Hebei, such as Zanhuang, Lincheng and Neiqiu, reached more than 10℃. During the daytime on the 14th, the temperature in the eastern part of Northeast China, Huanghuai and Jianghuai areas will be lower than that on the 13th. At present, the front of this cold air has reached the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but it will not continue to affect Jiangnan and South China southward.
A new round of strong air conditioning has cooled down locally in the middle and east of the road or exceeded 12℃
However, when people in Northeast China and North China are discussing the new low temperature, a new round of strong cold air with larger scope and wider influence is already on the way.
According to the forecast, starting from the night of 16th, a new round of strong cold air from the Mongolian Plateau will enter China, Inner Mongolia and northern Xinjiang, and will affect most of the central and eastern regions from north to south. Affected by this, there will be a large-scale gale cooling and rain and snow weather process from north to south in China from 16th to 18th.
According to meteorologists, the intensity of this round of cold air is stronger than that of the cold air from 13th to 15th, and its influence is wider, which will have a more obvious impact on the cooling in the southern region. In addition, the impact of this round of cold air process is mainly caused by strong winds.
According to the forecast, due to the influence of this round of strong cold air in the future, the temperature in most parts of the central and eastern regions will drop by 8 ~ 10℃, and the temperature in some areas will drop by more than 12℃, and the ground minimum temperature line of 0℃ will be pressed southward to the area along the Huaihe River in the early morning of the 19th. There are 4 ~ 6 northerly winds in most areas north of the Yangtze River, with gusts of 7 ~ 8, and 7 ~ 9 winds in the eastern and southern seas.
In terms of precipitation, there will be small to medium snow or sleet in most parts of eastern Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, heavy snow in eastern Jilin, small to moderate rain in Huanghuai, Jianghuai, Jianghan, Jiangnan, eastern Southwest China and South China, and heavy rain in parts of Jiangnan. In addition, from 16th to 17th, there was little to medium snow or sleet and local heavy snow along Tianshan Mountains in northern Xinjiang.
"This round of cold air process has the characteristics of fast moving speed, wide influence range and large cooling range. Cold air entered Inner Mongolia from the night of 16th to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River on the night of 17th. On the night of 18th, cold air will continue to move southward and reach the South China Sea. It can be said that in just two days, it swept across most areas in central and eastern China from north to south. " Sun Jun introduced.
Regarding the impact of cold air on agriculture, Sun Jun introduced that around the 19th, early frost will appear in parts of the western and southern parts of Huanghuai, Jianghuai and other places, and the windy and cool rain and snow weather is not conducive to facility agriculture and animal husbandry production, late sowing of winter wheat and the growth of open-field vegetables. For the southern region, the rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River from 17th to 18th is slightly unfavorable to the drying of autumn harvest crops such as late rice, fruit harvesting and the robust growth of autumn sowing crops, but it is beneficial to increase the storage capacity of reservoirs and ponds.
Why is cold air so frequent when winter comes too late?
Recently, the cold air affecting China has been coming one after another. The temperature in many places from north to south has dropped rapidly in a short period of time, and many netizens lamented on social networks that "winter came off guard".
For the frequent cold air attack, Sun Jun analyzed that the fundamental reason for the frequent cold air process in China in autumn and winter is the difference in thermal properties between land and sea.
"In autumn and winter, the land will form a strong high pressure, and the ocean will form a low pressure. The horizontal pressure gradient force will make the atmosphere move from a place with high pressure to a place with low pressure. From the perspective of climate system, the reason why cold air frequently moves south in autumn and winter is that the subtropical system and tropical system move south, the warm and humid airflow moves south, and the ground cold high pressure tends to be active in the middle and high latitudes, so the northwest airflow guides the cold air mass to move south. " Sun Jun said.
In the recent "Direct Weather — — In the program "Talking to Scientists", Wang Yongguang, the chief climate expert of the National Climate Center, predicted this winter’s climate, and said that from the previous data forecasting model and diagnostic analysis, China may still be warmer this winter, "the impact of warmer air quality can not be ignored, including Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and Yangtze River Delta region, and it is still necessary to strengthen prevention".
As to how to define "cold winter" and "warm winter", Ding Yihui, academician of China Academy of Engineering and special adviser on climate change of China Meteorological Bureau, explained that the climate change can be described by two parameters, one is the average temperature, and the average temperature of a winter for 90 days exceeds the average for many years, which is warm winter, and the other is cold winter, which is the problem of average. Another parameter is extreme events, such as sudden and violent cooling in a few days in a winter and cold wave weather.
"If the average is a warm winter, it does not mean that there will be strong cold events and warm events under this warm winter." Ding Yihui said.
"The entry of flag rugby into the Olympics is progressing smoothly, and we also hope to help China rugby lay out in advance and catch up." Jia Hengxuan, the media director of nfl (Major League Football) in China, made a big discovery when interviewed by Jiefang Daily and Shangguan News recently.
On the same day, Jia Hengxuan was invited to attend the Shanghai City Amateur Football League Finals and the East China Finals of the nfl Waist Flag Rugby Competition held in Xuhui District-this is the fourth year that the nfl and this Shanghai mass sports brand event have become attached to each other, and the two sides have jointly promoted and witnessed the "warming up" of rugby in Shanghai year by year.
It is no coincidence to reveal the inside information of "Waist Flag Rugby Entering the Olympics" on such an occasion. "The development of Shanghai Rugby is ahead of the whole country, and it is very suitable as a new starting point for China Rugby to impact the Olympic Games." Jia Hengxuan said.
"Flag at the waist for the Olympics" has been settled.
As early as last year, a news related to rugby aroused widespread concern in China’s sports world-the World Games held in July 2022 announced that it would cooperate with nfl to establish flag football as a new World Games event. At that time, the most talked about was the possibility of flag football entering the Olympics. After all, in the past 40 years, many sports have finally reached the Olympic stage through the World Games.
Today, the nfl’s news confirms everything. "The International Football Federation is working hard to promote the establishment of the flag football project in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The nfl is fully supporting them. Although the Olympic addition is a huge project, for now, everything is going well." Jia Hengxuan said.
Caption: Jia Hengxuan (right) is giving awards to athletes.
In fact, we have every reason to believe in the determination of Americans to promote flag football into the Olympics. American football has a very high popularity in North America, and the nfl is the most valuable professional sports league in the world, with the highest ratings for many years. For Americans, it is certainly the first choice to push American football into the Olympics, but it is almost impossible.
When considering whether a project can enter the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee has to weigh many factors. "Host intention" is a well-known one, but it can’t be the only consideration. In overseas markets, the audience and influence of American football can’t be compared with its position in North America, and its popularity and development level can’t reach the Olympic threshold. The reason is that the high-intensity confrontation and expensive equipment of football have become one of the reasons why many regions are discouraged from it.
In this way, the flag football, which is in the same strain as American football, has become one of the main events of the Los Angeles Olympic Games-as a non-contact, zero-equipped, small-space football competition form, the flag football has no requirements for the number, age and physical quality of participants, even if it has no sports foundation, it can quickly integrate into the team, and can realize mixed teams of men and women and compete in the same field. The biggest feature of flag football is to cultivate young people’s team spirit and leadership. Rugby requires a lot of team communication and cooperation. Through sports, teenagers can be guided to respect each other, and their self-confidence, courage and perseverance can be enhanced. Therefore, since the birth of flag football, it has quickly captured many fans around the world, and has huge participants in dozens of countries around the world.
Neighbors have taken the lead.
2028 seems far away, but many "neighbors" in Asia have taken action early, and Japan is very representative.
From 1998 to now, flag football has changed from an unknown sport in Japan to a popular sport on Japanese campuses. The data shows that more than one-third of primary schools (6,700 schools) in Japan have carried out flag football. Especially since 2011, flag football has been raised to the level of learning guidance for students in grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 in Japan. Since the flag football was declared to be the event of the World Games, Japan has taken precautions to promote its talent reserve and selection in its own country from the perspective of Olympic strategy.
In addition to Japan, South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines and other Asian countries also have good strength in flag football. As an early area to carry out flag football, these countries often win gold and silver in flag football games. I believe that once the project is successful in entering the Olympics, they will gain the first-Mover advantage. Therefore, if China Rugby wants to make a difference in this project, it is urgent.
Shanghai has the best rugby soil.
A good opportunity, a suitable soil, the seeds of love will have the opportunity to become a forest. Jia Hengxuan said that the nfl thinks that Shanghai can become this "starting point" because it has the best rugby soil in the country.
Patrick, an American who has been a rugby coach in China for six years, said frankly, "There is almost no gap between China players and American players." He once led a team to compete with nfl players in Major League Football. He thinks that China is almost the same as American players in terms of personal ability and potential ability, and the only difference is the growth environment, that is, "the soil of football".
Wang Datong can be said to be one of the earliest people to promote American football in Shanghai. He started to contact football at the age of 12, played high school football league in Hawaii, and was still an avid fan of the sport when he was studying at the University of Illinois. Since 2013, he has served as a player and coach in a well-known amateur football club in Shanghai. He told reporters that because American football is a non-Olympic event, there is little top-down support. The main development form of this project in China is the grassroots rugby club, which is organized spontaneously by rugby fans. Shanghai is the most representative American football town. There are not only many clubs, but also a set of scientific management models, which regularly organize training and competitions.
There are many "signs" that can prove this soil. In terms of participation, the number of domestic teams participating in organized amateur adult equipment leagues increased from 8 in 2014 to 64 in 2019, and the number of Shanghai teams accounted for one third of them; Many campuses in Shanghai have introduced rugby projects one after another, and there are countless non-governmental training institutions. As early as 2018, data showed that more than 8,000 primary school students in Shanghai were trained in rugby courses at least once a week. In the Super Bowl every year, nearly 10 million China viewers watch the live broadcast of the event on TV and new media platforms, among which Shanghai fans account for the majority.
The year-round folk games have become the core of revitalizing this football hotspot. In the past two years, the rugby amateur league, which was created by Shanghai Rugby Association (hereinafter referred to as "Shanghai Rugby Association"), has its sub-events and events including: American Rugby Amateur League, Waist Flag Rugby Amateur League, Rugby Amateur League, Touch Rugby League, Junior Rugby League, Magnolia Bowl American Rugby Championship, Shanghai Rugby Ten-a-side Championship, and Ambassador Bowl International Rugby Invitational Tournament …
In recent years, the competition system and stage of Shanghai rugby have been further enhanced and enlarged. Shanghai sports management department brought rugby into the city amateur league, and the government set up a platform to promote and popularize rugby with high-quality resources. As the main body of the competition, the "Football Association" attracted the nfl, the top professional sports league, to participate actively with the authoritative and professional style of running the competition. It can be said that many parties worked together to breed "soil" together.
Take Xuhui District as an example. In the past two years, the rugby atmosphere has been rich. First, with the help of the "East Wind" of the city amateur league, the sport itself is very compatible with the regional style. "As a city with a high degree of internationalization, rugby matches the regional characteristics very well and won the love of the people. At present, there are a large number of white-collar workers and teenagers participating in the district, and they need more rugby amateur events suitable for participation. " Zhang Ying, director of the Sports Bureau of Xuhui District, said that the Shanghai Urban Amateur Football League Finals has become an annual "sports festival" in Xuhui District, which is not only a platform for promoting rugby among the people, but also a stage for improving the level of domestic amateur rugby fans.
Is it feasible to form a national team through social training?
"On the development of flag football, Shanghai has always been a leader in China." The nfl’s judgment is convincing, because since 2003, the nfl has started to hold training camps for flag football coaches and referees in China; In 2008, nfl began to organize university flag football league in Beishangguang, with nearly 40 universities including Tsinghua, Fudan and Guangzhou University participating. In 2015, the nfl held a flag football tournament in China, covering primary schools, junior high schools, senior high schools, universities and public groups, achieving full age coverage.
In the nfl’s view, the biggest difference between football and other sports is the tacit understanding and team cohesion between players, which is the upper limit of the strength of a football team, not the talent of a few players. "We have reached a consensus with the Shanghai Football Association and hope to try to tap football talents through social training." Ding Ye, Secretary-General of Shanghai Rugby Association, revealed that the two sides are already planning to set up a rugby training base in Shanghai. "Our vision is to make full use of Shanghai’s unique rugby soil, select good young people who are talented and enthusiastic about rugby, and after a long period of training and running-in, continue to participate in high-quality competitions, and even go abroad to receive higher-level guidance and learn from international excellent teams, and finally build a truly competitive elite team of flag rugby.
Ding Ye said frankly that the "software equipment" to realize these ideas is relatively mature at present-based on the successful cooperation between Shanghai Football Association and nfl for many years, the latter is willing to provide the best coach resources, and in the key aspects of talent training, the connection between overseas high-level training platforms and leagues, Shanghai Football Association will play a good bridge role. "But beyond the’ software’, the creation of such an elite team still needs the intervention and guidance of the government, giving necessary hardware support such as venues and policies." Ding Wei said.
No matter what the result is, as long as we act immediately, it will be of great significance to take precautions at this moment once the flag football successfully enters the Olympics in the near future. Is it really possible for China’s first national flag rugby team to be born in Shanghai and sprint to the Olympic Games?
