Chapter 40 Unification

Recently the Olympic Games introduced the Olympic Cheering gesture. The first step of the gesture: applaud twice, which represents "welcome guests from all over the world and make friends from all over the world". The second step of the gesture: make fists with both hands, raise your thumbs up, and stretch your arms forward and upward, which means "we gather under the five-ring flag". The third step of the gesture: applaud twice, which represents "showing the demeanor of athletes and promoting the Olympic spirit!" The fourth step of the gesture: Make a fist with both hands and stretch your arms upwards, which means "We cheer for the Olympic spirit to be faster, higher and stronger!"

It is reported that during the Olympic Games, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee will be coordinated by the Volunteer Department. Before and during the competitions, the promotional video of "Come on for the Olympics and China" will be played on the spot, and a number of volunteer guides will be arranged at the competition site Lead the audience to cheer. At the same time, 30 cheerleaders and "civilized cheering gesture promotion ambassadors" designated by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee to perform in various venues will lead all the audience to cheer for the athletes through gestures.

It is also reported that the Ministry of Education will also provide training to the 800,000 student spectators who enter the Olympic stadium to popularize civilized gestures in the stadium through major, middle and primary schools across the country. I think it is not difficult to come up with this gesture, but what I admire is the difficulty of coming up with "representing" after each gesture.For example, if I give a thumbs up, it means I praise you, and if I raise my middle finger, it means I despise you, but I make fists with both hands, thumbs up, and arms stretched forward and upward, which actually means that we meet at the Fifth Ring Road flag, which confuses me very much.

If this is just the hand gesture of the Chinese official cheerleaders in the Olympic Games, there is nothing wrong with it. Cheerleaders generally have to be uniform, but if these things are not only very formal, but also a bit silly, it will reduce the fun of watching sports games.Relevant departments feel that this is a guide to civilization, and with such a gesture, uncivilized phenomena such as national abuse can be put an end to it.I want to say, first of all, if you all make the same gestures, it should be uncivilized or uncivilized. Otherwise, we have done radio gymnastics for decades, and we have long been an extremely civilized country.Secondly, I believe that during the Olympic Games, there will be no uncivilized things for the audience. The Chinese people can still do a good job in understanding the general aspects. We can't imagine the audience atmosphere of Chinese football as the audience atmosphere of the Olympics.I think this point, the relevant departments should also be very clear.

Therefore, I think the launch of this unified cheering gesture is actually suspected of flattery. It is a public relations activity for the relevant departments to see. The theme is that you unite your thoughts and we unite your actions. This is not how China accomplished the great cause of reunification.I think that although we have always emphasized that the Olympics should be separated from politics, the actual situation is clear to everyone.Now that we are constantly suffering from natural and man-made disasters, the Olympics should really be separated from politics, because we link the Olympics and politics so closely that everyone will be more nervous.The Olympic Games should let the common people relax and have fun.The Olympic Games should be a big PARTY (forgive me I really can’t think of a Chinese that can replace this English here, parties and banquets are not suitable), of course, this gesture is not a mandatory promotion, but if it is promoted strongly, it will also reduce watching sports Charm.

Some people compare this gesture, which can change slogans, with smiling when people are happy, and frowning when they are sad; nodding to express approval, and shaking their heads to express negative, saying that under the promotion, it may become an international representative... It means... a popular gesture that means I don't know what it means, just like the V for victory and the OK gesture for victory.What I want to say is that it is completely impossible.First of all, this is not a gesture, this is a set, I wish it was a radio gymnastics.In addition, people use simple things to express complex things, and we use complex things to express simple things.But the most important thing is that our set of exercises has no original gestures and aesthetics. If someone sees me in the future and does this exercise for a long time, he will say, Han Han, hello, Han Han, come on... I will definitely pretend not to know this people.

In addition, there are two points of this gesture that are worth discussing. First, this gesture is obviously easy to accidentally injure people around.Second, the muscles mobilized by this gesture are unreasonable, and it is easy to get tired when doing it.Don't let the athletes have nothing to do, and the audience will all cramp. If you really want a pose, I think it’s good to hold fists as suggested by a netizen in the message. On the one hand, people are full of mysterious yearning for our martial arts. On the other hand, this action is not tiring. After winning the gold medal, the audience stood up, clasped their fists, shouted in unison, and gave in.

However, I think it is still useful for the audience to remember this gesture. When Chinese athletes and foreign athletes compete to the last moment, we make this gesture and mutter words. Foreign athletes who have never seen this formation must be terrified. Thinking that we are playing tricks will definitely affect the state of competition.Thus……
