45. Coubertin and French Sports are in deep feelings

Mr. Coubertin, the "father of the modern Olympics", graduated from the Paris Institute of Political Science at the age of 20. After graduation, Coubertin gave up his job as a lawyer in the Paris court arranged by his father for him. The decent work made many people yearn for it, but he did not accept the affection of his father and did not care about his family's opposition, so he raised funds to go to the UK for investigation. From this point alone, it can be seen that this person is not simple.

Coubertin went to the UK to inspect with the sacred mission of education to save the country. He visited famous universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, Wellington, and Harrow. Wherever he went, he gained a lot. What impressed him the most was the importance of British schools on physical education. British schools attached great importance to physical education, which was reflected in the students' high qualities: strong body, energetic, and generous manners, giving people a sense of vigorousness.

After returning to China, Coubertin worked in the Paris education department. He was determined to reform French education. With his advocacy and efforts, sports activities in French schools flourished. The spirit of French students was completely renewed, and France's education career showed a new atmosphere.

Shortly after that, the world responded, and the Modern Olympics came into being under his agitation and publicity.
