Activity: “Chinese State Sports Policy: Pre - and Post - Beijing 2008”

I read this article written by Fan Wei in 2010.This was my first time reading an English article which related to Chinese sports policy. The article provides an overview of Chinese sports policy and practice from 1920s to the 2000s with particular emphasis on the post Beijing Olympics.

I was very worried before I read this article because I was afraid that I could not understand the specialized topic. However, I found it was not that hard than I expected. I learnt the development of Chinese massive sports and elite sports and understood how policy impacted the development of Chinese sports. This article helped me overview the Chinese sports policy and had a clear understand of each process. It will be a very useful experience and make contribution to my master study. As this article closely related to my major, I was glad to read this article before studying in my department.

Activity: “The Little Prince”

    2. Personally if I were going to enter this market based off of the 11 factors that influenced the people who completed the survey I would not enter this market. Starting at the first factor they say that mostly sporting appear were purchased for exercise not because they are a fan of a specific sporting team or player. The third factor pertains to the amount of money spent per year on sporting goods. It seems typically low compared to the US, because I know as a season ticket holder of the Philadelphia Eagles my family spends anywhere from 3000$-5000$ in tickets, jerseys, concessions, and apparel.

    Although it is impossible to know what was in the author’s mind as he wrote The Little Prince, several aspects of the novel can be read as commentary on the painful World War II period.
