The advantage of sports is that you can play your life in a short period of time. It has a beginning and an end, allowing you to know how to fight, how to deal with the relationship with teammates and opponents, how to win, how to afford to lose, and how to face adversity. Rise in. More importantly, sports mimics the competition in life most realistically and intuitively.
Two young people, one in order to fight against discrimination against Jews, and one in order to be subordinate to their own inner beliefs, repaying God for the running talent given to them-"make God happy". They chose a battle for honor. The gentleman's spirit is in the afterglow of the setting sun Light up the long back of the last classical era. After the
victory, it was a kiss from a girl to you, a drunkenness with the coach, and a memorial to the deepest part of my heart! "It's time to live with your loved one. ""."Go to China to continue preaching". This is how they chose to return to life after winning the honor.
Humans are the hostages of history, and an era has the spiritual characteristics of an era. The past era has always become a bonsai that we can play at will. Our call to the past is to seek a kind of courage to transcend, to transcend the shackles of this era, to find us The real demand for survival, the kind of inner desire, the purification of the essence of things. Fire is victory, it is honor. There are no sponsors, no advertisers, and no invasion of commercial capital on the stadium, so it can be seen more clearly. To that kind of sportsmanship. "Sports can shape people's character, cultivate people's courage, loyalty and leadership, and most importantly, impeccable spirit and loyalty, collaboration and responsibility." From Great Britain to the United States, three hundred years Anglo-Saxons undeniably dominate our world. Their spiritual origin can be traced back to ancient Greece. In their education, sports are part of life. "The Greek sports, of course, is based on the Olympics. Logo. The people participating in the competition are citizens of various city-states. First of all, they are amateur players. Even if they win the championship, they are also ordinary members of citizens. There is no clear boundary between spectators and athletes. So everyone can participate in sports. This is a means of cultivating civic character. The ideal citizen of the Greeks, in Plato’s words, is brave but not rough, elegant but not weak. Poetry and sports cultivate the two poles of human nature. Therefore, the balance of these two kinds of education. In other words, sports are the basic means for people to develop their own personality. (Xue Yong) "Sportsmanship conforms to the historical development of Western civilization, so when we are labeled as "the sick man of East Asia" At that time, we should see the weakness of our own consciousness. Ancient Chinese officials are good at talking about literature, history, and philosophy. It is not as good as sociology and economics that requires a lot of empirical statistics. Most Chinese elites have become cultural elites. Up to now, it has emphasized intellectual education, neglected physical education, and neglected the consciousness of social service. The fundamental thing is to dominate quietness and abandon movement. "Mind calm and naturally cool" "Quiet to cultivate oneself, thrifty to cultivate virtue", "Static braking" is rooted in Taoism The natural expression of thought in the writing of scholars. Both Mao Zedong and Lu Xun can be regarded as heretics among Chinese scholars. Indispensable to his success is his continuous movement. Tenacious struggle and overcoming "resistance" character. He is in "Sports" "Research>" writes "If you want to civilize your spirit, you must first be barbaric and your physique.Then the spirit of civilization follows. The body is complete and the knowledge is complete." In his letter to his friends, he pointed out that "the only thing that is weak is a scholar. To correct this ill, you must develop the habit of working and studying at the same time, at least Develop the habit of reading and playing in parallel."
Therefore, it is natural for Abraham to carry his own responsibilities and honors on running. The advancement of the film comes from the gradual deepening of the two people’s understanding of the game. If you look at the big picture, it is actually The pursuit of the true meaning of life. Eric is different from Abraham. He is more talented. As a missionary, faith is his driving force and the "obstacle" to his real life. The problem of the Sabbath is his faith A challenge. The seemingly lucky and accidental exchange actually lies in his loyalty to God, so Erik’s problem is the dialogue between "man and God." Abraham's problem is that of others and himself, and that of "people and gods". "People" dialogue, racial discrimination from society and others is the reason that prevents him from entering the British upper class and gaining respect. This is his starting point. It is also the motivation to support his "unscrupulous" in order to achieve his goal without turning back. The real source of turning Stage fright before the final. This is the division where his eyes turn from others to himself. The ultimate meaning of the game is that one surpasses himself, and racial discrimination may be just an excuse for his own weakness. From two Cambridge principals toast to celebrate Abraham Victory recalled their previous confrontation with him, and found that it was not their staleness but Abraham’s immaturity. The
game is an instant bloom, not the purpose of life. But we can find from them that can let us The memory of the next generation's memorial service. He can give us the courage to live well and find our dignity.
