On April 29, 2007, over 100 million students in China participated in a national student sports program from 10-11am. The event saw 11 million students in Shandong province actively involved. The Ministry of Education encourages students to exercise for an hour daily for health, enabling them to work 50 years and enjoy life. The speaker believes senior high school students should also set aside an hour for daily exercise, despite their studies, as it helps build the body and clear the mind for more efficient work.
