Purpose —The purpose of the paper is to discuss some of the mysteries around the much-touted recent success of school education in China and to explore some of the key conditions that may underpin the success. Design/Approach/Methods —It is a conceptual paper. A wide range of available data and literature has been consulted and analyzed to carefully marshal arguments about how to understand the mysteries and the conditions underpinning the success. Findings —The paper discusses four mysteries around education success in China. It argues for the development of a fuller and more contextualized perspective to view the success. The paper further suggests that neither of the four general conditions for success—values, reform, leadership or teaching approaches—taken alone, can explain pathways to success. Originality/Value —The paper provides an original explanatory description of the mysteries of education success and underlying conditions. This paper helps fill a gap in Western understanding of the “why” and “how” of school success in China.

Using the methods of documents and materials, the authors analysize the possibility of “Gangnam style" would replace the broadcast gymnastics and discusse the related questions about school physical education. The conlflict between "Gangnam style" and broadcast gymnastics is a critical shock for the traditional sports. In this artical, the author think that there are eight contradictions and problems in the cultrual section of Chinese physical education. Apart from highlighting physical education and raise the position of physical education in China, the development of physical education should be focused on the development of students; and should aim at the physical health of students. In the forms and contents of physical education, it should cater for the era, culture and mind. We should keep innovating, changing, enriching and improving physical education. The contents and forms of school education should be in tune with advancement, culture and era. Only in this way, chinese physical education will be florish.

As a consequence of the diminished role that Greek and Roman antiquity plays in secondary school education, the impact which Classical antiquity still has on our contemporary culture is underestimated in public opinion.
