On July 11th, at the Sports Culture Forum of the 10thNishan Forum on World Cilivizations, Yannick Morin, President of the Brittany Regional Olympic Committee in France and friendly ambassador for the people of Shandong Province, shared his idea of"the embodiment of the Olympic spirit in Chinese culture". In his opinion, this topic is both rich in content and relevant to the current situation. Professor Morin believes that in terms of values, the pursuit of harmony is demonstrated in sports and physical activities, which in turn promotes mutual understanding between different civilizations and peoples around the world. On the path of education, the Olympics, through the medium of sports, is committed to cultivating people's qualities such as courage, determination, perseverance, and fair play, which are integrated and interconnected with the cultivation of noble character in traditional Chinese education. These commonalities demonstrate how the Olympic ideal transcends cultural boundaries and finds resonance in different philosophical and ethical traditions around the world. Professor Morin pointed out that the spirit of Olympism and Chinese culture complement each other, achieving an encounter between ancient traditions and modern ideas across time and space, and creating a beautiful example of the mutual development of tradition and modernity.
