On March 12th, Chen Yibing, the Olympic champion of gymnastics, posted a video about giving a PE lesson in Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai on his blog. A sentence went with the video: “Take things as I come. Now that you’ve attended my courses, I’m looking forward to your performance on the final exam.”

In the video, we can see students standing aside who could not help expressing their surprise while Chen Yibing demonstrated difficult moves with ease at the university stadium. The topic of “how students react when they were attending the course given by Chen Yibing” went viral on Weibo.

In the spring of 2021, Chen Yibing started to offer the course Sports, Losing Weight and Getting In Shape in Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai. He treasures the chance of being a teacher and gets into the swing of his work. He will carefully prepare for every course and insists that the content of courses must not be regurgitated. He devotes himself to developing new moves which will not be taught in courses until he emulates the moves himself.

He is committed to spreading an active mood and sportsmanship featured by cooperation to his students, hence his courses always reach the maximum capacity in seconds. Some students are “eager” for the courses but “not bold enough to select,” and some other students regard attending the courses as their greatest fortune. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time an Olympic champion has given courses in Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai.

Miss He Kexin’s encounter with Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai

Early in 2019, the Olympic champion, He Kexin, came to Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai giving courses like Cheerleading Dance and Body Shaping for Women. She upheld an instructional objective as “make every girl more beautiful and confident and give them chances to recognize their own charms and rebuild their recognition about themselves.” Under her guidance, her students had their bodies become upright and their self assessment become more confident. The courses have therefore become welcome and approved by female students.

How do the students feel about being with the Olympic champion?

As for the experience of having such PE lessons, students from Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai state that they can truly feel the happiness of sports due to the outstanding faculty resources and instructional infrastructure offered by the university.
