Characteristics of Putian No.2 Middle School in Fujian Province

Physical education is a strong school and a century-old tradition.

As early as 1898, American principals such as Proust, the predecessor of Putian No.2 Middle School, introduced western sports. Since then, philosophy middle school has listed physical education as a regular course and opened basketball, volleyball, track and field, gymnastics and other projects. During 1908, President Zeng also served as a physical education teacher, personally teaching track and field knowledge and technology, and decided to hold a school sports meeting every semester, requiring each student to participate in two events. At that time, these sports were lively and novel and became the favorite activities of teachers and students after school. Sports soon formed group activities in schools, from which a number of top sports emerged. In the 1920s and 1930s, philosophy middle schools took the lead in the emergence of sports stars in Putian. 192 1 In the summer vacation, Cheng Tiansi and other four students were selected by the county to participate in the provincial intermodal games, and won the first and second place in the high jump respectively. 1925, Daik-miao Woo represented China in the 7th Far East Games, winning five championships and the only gold medal for the motherland. Because several school leaders attach importance to sports work, philosophy middle school has developed several times since the 1930s, becoming a strong sports school in the county and even the whole province, and has always been among the best in sports competitions. The "whirlwind" volleyball team has become a strong team in the province. In the 1934 Provincial Games, Lin Qiren, a philosophy student, won the decathlon champion and the first place in javelin, and Tang won the third place in javelin. In the 1940s, the Putian track and field delegation led by Wei Hu took philosophy middle school as the main force, which lasted for 56 days and won Lien Chan's victory, making a sensation in the national sports world and becoming an unprecedented feat in the sports history of China. 1946 In the summer, a basketball team of the US army passed by Putian and issued a "challenge book" as soon as it arrived. The school's "whirlwind" team fought proudly and won World War II, which shocked the US Army. At that time, Putian City was empty and people were worried. Philosophy Middle School is the first school in Putian sports development, and it can be called the birthplace of "the hometown of track and field".

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), under the leadership of the Party, Putian No.2 Middle School paid more attention to sports, and track and field activities became more common.
