In a bold move to reform the National Games, the 13th edition in Tianjin four years ago opened its doors to amateur competitors, as some 8,000 non-professional competitors from all over China, and even from abroad, got a chance to shine on the national sporting stage. And a total of 185 events across 19 sports in mass program are included for the 14th National Games.

UPHOLDING OLYMPIC SPIRIT
At the Tokyo Olympics, China won 38 golds, 32 silvers and 18 bronzes, equalling its haul of gold medals at London 2012 for the best performance at an overseas Olympics.
Despite missing out on a medal in Tokyo, 32-year-old sprinter Su Bingtian has been hailed as a hero by many Chinese sports fans for bettering the men's 100m Asian record to 9.83 seconds.
"There is room for improvement for me," Su said of his breakthrough one month ago. "Many say that is the limit for the Asian, but I don't think so."
Su is just a vivid manifestation of the Olympic Spirit which President Xi has called for Chinese athletes to uphold.
When meeting with the Chinese delegation for the Sochi Olympic Winter Games in 2014, Xi noted that good results were not reflected merely in the number of medals, but more in the Olympic Spirit they demonstrate by constantly improving and excelling themselves.
In an open letter addressed to the postgraduate class of Olympic and world champions at the Beijing Sport University, Xi urged them to make greater contributions to China's sporting culture and society.
"I hope you maintain your efforts, continue to build China into a leading sporting nation and bring more positive energy to Chinese society," the Chinese President said.
More than 200 doping control officers are expected conduct a record number of doping tests during the ongoing 14th National Games. It is in line with Xi's wish that athletes go for "ethic, friendly and clean" gold medals.
Xi once said the fight against doping in sports should be resolutely pushed forward, and vowed "zero tolerance" for doping in sports.
"SIMPLE, SAFE AND SPLENDID" BEIJING 2022
Beijing is set to become the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Games when the 2022 Winter Olympics open in the Chinese capital next February.
From bidding to preparing for the Winter Olympics, President Xi has been playing a leading role.
Hours before the IOC members cast their votes on the host city for the 2022 Winter Olympics on July 31, 2015, Xi delivered his speech on television to guarantee a "fantastic, extraordinary and excellent Olympic Winter Games." Following his inspection tours of Beijing and Hebei in January this year, Xi called for advancing preparation work for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics against difficulties and "with greater perfection."
Before China was awarded the 2022 Winter Games, engaging over 300 million Chinese in winter sports has already been in Xi's mind.
Staff in Beijing's Badaling ski resort had busy days during the Spring Festival this year, as over 10,000 people took to skis during the span. "This reflects the implementation of engaging more than 300 million people to winter sports," said Wu Bin, general manager of the ski resort.
According to a Legacy Report released by the BOCOG on June 23 outlining the pre-Games legacies achieved by Beijing 2022, a record 224 million Chinese people participated in ski and skating activities during the 2018/19 winter season.
Just as China held the 2008 Summer Olympics to push its economic and social development, Xi also intends to host the 2022 Games as a catalyst to promote sustainable economic growth not only in Beijing, but in areas surrounding the capital.
In 2015, 16.8 percent of the 100,000 residents in Chongli, Hebei Province were classified as living below China's national poverty line, with most locals leaving to work in Beijing and other major cities.
