Reflections on the Development of Mass Sports in the New Era

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that national fitness is the foundation and guarantee for all the people to enhance their physique and health and that the people's health is an important part of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Combing systematically through the developing history of mass sports since the reform and opening up, combined with the systematic study of the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics, closely linked with the actual work of sports, we start with the historical proposition that socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era and put forward time definition and main features of the development of mass sports in the new era. At the same time, we must directly face the issue and put forward specific ideas on how to develop mass sports in the new era.
