I am in charge of my body, from broadcast gymnastics to aerobics, from folk prescription to health club. Thirty years of reform and opening up have given us a new understanding of our own concepts of body and health. 1957 The news bulletin "Intermittent Exercise" shot by the Central News Recording Film Studio recorded the scene of people doing broadcast gymnastics during work breaks: How can they do it in such a heavy rain? They really have a way to open a new playground here. The person who designed this house would never have thought that the corridor could still play such a role. Such a scene continued until after the reform and opening up. In all parts of China, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, as long as the music on the radio plays, people will do radio exercises on balconies, roofs, streets and even roadsides. Zhang Hong (Professor of Tongji University): Broadcast gymnastics is the embryonic form of modern body culture and modern civil politics. Because China has a nightmare of the sick man of East Asia, and this nightmare has been haunting him. He must get rid of this kind of thing in droves, how can he make himself healthy? There is no doubt that in the state at that time. It is necessary to get up early and exercise all parts of the body in this way before you can become healthy. Radio gymnastics begins music: develop sports, strengthen people's physique, be vigilant and defend the motherland, and now start to do radio gymnastics. 195 1, 12, 1, china national radio began to broadcast gymnastics passwords. Every morning, millions of people do sports with radio music, which is unprecedented in the history of China. Since two years ago, the new regime has been striving to build a modern China. People's health, as an important indicator of modern countries, has begun to be valued by the state. 195 1 year, the National Sports Federation launched the first set of broadcast gymnastics. In the hot construction era, the government advocates that "health is the capital of revolution", physical exercise is the means, and the goal is to work better. Zhang Hong: You keep healthy or make your body strong. More importantly, you should devote yourself to revolutionary productive labor. It is not your choice to take part in mass fitness activities, but the needs of the revolution. For a long time, all we saw were uniform clothes and uniform movements. For many people, broadcast gymnastics is more of a sign to remind people of the beginning of work and study time and to remind people to activate their bodies. Zhang Hong: In the farming age, you will be awakened by the barking of chickens and dogs. If you don't need to run for survival, you can't choose. You can choose between sunny and sunny days, but in the modern national order marked by broadcast gymnastics, people don't have this right.
