Features: IOC Executive Member He Zhenliang once said: In the late 19th century, Olympic Movement pioneers, led by Pierre de Coubertin, drew inspiration from the ancient Olympic Games in Greece and combined it with the needs of the time to ignite the flame of the modern Olympic Movement. Over a century, the legacy has been passed down, and the Olympic Movement has become a significant social and cultural phenomenon in the contemporary world. The Olympic Movement is a microcosm of human society, and understanding it helps us understand ourselves better. In the 21st century, as human society rapidly moves toward globalization, and in the era where knowledge economy and the internet have made the "global village" a reality, people are even more eager to learn about the Olympics and understand its essence.
