Party member vanguard "ping pong" produces brilliance
A new starting point, a new journey, a new achievement. The "Table Tennis Pioneer Striving for a New Journey" 2023 celebration of July 1st, organized by the Shanghai Table Tennis Association, began shooting at the Jing'an District Sports Center.
This competition attracted a total of 28 teams from table tennis associations and enterprises and institutions in all districts of the city to participate. The names of the eight groups participating in the competition are meaningful. From the Party building group, the Long March group, the Yan'an group, the liberation group, to the founding group, the reform group, the development group, and the dream group, they respectively represent the glorious history of the CPC for a hundred years, making the competition more educational in reviewing the history of the party and adhering to its original spirit. After intense competition in group round robin and knockout rounds, the final ranking was determined.
Sports carry the dream of national strength and national rejuvenation. If sports are strong, China will be strong, and if national sports are prosperous, sports will be prosperous. Many of the contestants who participated in the competition on that day were party members and pioneers who loved their jobs, worked hard, and were brave enough to take on responsibilities. They put on sportswear and picked up their rackets, and also performed brilliantly in table tennis.
Wu Qilin, who represents the Changning District Table Tennis Association in the competition, is a veteran party member with 37 years of party experience. After retirement, he had more time to play table tennis with a group of friends. "When he was young, he would play table tennis, but now he plays twice a week. Although his level is not high, the key is to participate, and the intensity of the exercise is moderate, in order to have fun." Being able to participate on July 1st, Wu Qilin said, "It's very special and meaningful!"
The Shanghai Medical Union team is composed of table tennis enthusiasts from various units such as the Municipal Public Health Clinical Center, Cancer Hospital, Municipal Blood Center, and Municipal Clinical Laboratory Center. Wu Bin, the leader and coach of the Shanghai Medical Union team, received professional training in table tennis when he was young. He has served in the military for 22 years and told reporters that there are many friends in the medical and health system who enjoy playing table tennis. The recently concluded "Medical Workers Cup" competition in May attracted over 400 medical workers from 62 medical and health units in the city. The annual "Medical Workers Cup" has become a platform for selecting outstanding players.
Qin Boeing is a researcher at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center. During the 2020 epidemic, he first entered the P3 laboratory to carry out testing work and worked continuously in a closed loop for three months. In addition to busy work, table tennis has become the best choice for him and his colleagues to relax and relieve stress in their daily lives.
On the occasion of celebrating the 102nd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the Municipal Table Tennis Association held this table tennis competition, endowing it with extraordinary significance. It is not only an annual characteristic brand competition of the Municipal Table Tennis Association, but also a specific measure to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and promote the national strategy of national fitness.
Wang Liqin, Vice Chairman of the China Table Tennis Association and President of the Shanghai Table Tennis Association, stated that in order to better meet the needs of citizens for table tennis, the Shanghai Table Tennis Association will innovate table tennis event platforms, enrich event content, promote and popularize table tennis, hold more popular events and activities that citizens love, and encourage more citizens to participate in table tennis. With a healthier physique and a more spirited attitude, the association will strive for a new journey and make achievements in the new era.
When the agricultural interest "jade" sees warmth, Lian Jun
"Wearing a red tassel hat, wearing a green mountain robe, holding a pearl hidden in one's arms, it is sweet and soft." The Shanghai Agricultural Fun Sports Games and the "Quanjia Lai Sai" Jiading District Amateur League Huating Town Colorful Sports Series "When Farming Fun 'Jade' Meets Warmth Lianjun" event was a hot event in Lianjun Village, Huating Town.
Riding on the gentle morning breeze, nearly a hundred parent-child families from across the city participated in the "Cute Baby Treasure Hunting Corn Field, Big and Small Beads Falling on Jade Plate, Pi Li Pa Le Hua" competition and the "Nostalgic Blackboard Newspaper, Fashionable Fruit Plate" experience project.
In the greenhouse, on corn stalks over two meters high, towering corn plants tilt their heads and droop their red or yellow corn whiskers, emitting a sweet fragrance. The "Cute Baby Searching for Treasure Corn Field" tests recognition and speed. With a whistle, the children charge into the corn field, find the corn with their corresponding number, twist and pull, and then pull it off. Holding a big corn in his arms, his small face was filled with the joy of a warrior returning home.
Peeling corn kernels by hand is a test of skill and patience. I saw some parents tightly gripping the corn roots with one hand and pressing against the tail tips with the other, turning back and forth a few times, and in an instant, big and small beads fell onto the jade plate. The seemingly flowing movements are actually quite challenging. Some parents can't find the trick at the moment, so they look around and cheat on the spot.
Live popcorn is undoubtedly the most popular part, pouring in small corn kernels and opening up large popcorn. The freshly baked and slightly sweet popcorn was instantly eliminated by the snack vendors. Finally, the children take a group photo with their handmade fruit platters in front of their nostalgic blackboard newspaper, recording happy moments.
In recent years, against the backdrop of rural revitalization, Huating Town has fully tapped into its resource advantages, strengthened the integration of sports with agriculture, tourism, culture, and other diverse fields. With the agricultural seasons of spring sowing, summer sowing, autumn harvest, and winter storage as the main line, it has carried out "field classroom" agricultural fun competitions such as sowing, harvesting wheat, transplanting seedlings, fishing for lobsters, breaking corn, fishing for fish in muddy waters, and harvesting rice. It has continuously improved the rural sports and fitness service system, cultivated and created a "rural colorful sports" characteristic brand, and played the diverse role of sports in promoting rural revitalization.
Building a new sports brand for the Chamber of Commerce
On the occasion of July 1st, the first Shanghai Provincial Chamber of Commerce Badminton Friendship Tournament was held at Baoshan Sports Center. This competition features four events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, and mixed doubles, attracting representatives from 21 provincial chambers of commerce and more than 300 participants.
On the court, the contestants have agile steps and agile movements, showcasing their respective skills and showcasing techniques such as high shots, blocks, dunks, splits, and dribbles to the fullest. The crisp sound of hitting the ball on the court keeps coming and going, fully demonstrating the competitive charm of entrepreneurs beyond business operations.
This competition has become a link between various provincial chambers of commerce in Shanghai, and also a joint construction activity between the Shanghai General Administration of Sports and various provincial chambers of commerce to optimize the business environment. Hong Qinghua, president of Shanghai Anhui Chamber of Commerce and chairman of Jingyu Group, said that badminton not only helps strengthen our physique, but also helps us in our daily life and work. There is a saying in badminton return technique, "stretch your arms first and then step your legs", which means that no matter whether you can catch the incoming ball or not, you must work hard to catch it. The same applies to business operations and enterprises. I hope that in the future, this competition can be transformed into an annual brand event held by the Shanghai Provincial Chamber of Commerce, providing a stage for everyone to exchange emotions and exchange skills.
Xue Sasa, Deputy District Mayor of Baoshan District People's Government, stated that Baoshan is currently in a critical stage of "northern transformation". Baoshan District actively implements the Healthy China strategy, focuses on people's livelihood needs, and regards the development of sports as an important means to improve people's quality and enhance urban soft power. In order to meet the diverse and multi-level sports and fitness needs of the masses, it has created a number of independent brand competitions such as "Battle FUN Baoshan" and "Super Cup". I hope that friends from provincial chambers of commerce in Shanghai can actively participate in Baoshan sports events, participate in the development of Baoshan sports, share development opportunities, and create a better future together.
This competition is jointly organized by the Shanghai Sports Bureau, Shanghai Sports Federation, and Shanghai Anhui Chamber of Commerce.
