TIANJIN  http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysargentina.com/Lucas-Biglia-Jersey/ , Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- Despite a worse start, Tan Zongliang of Shandong managed to surpass the world record in the men's 10m air pistol final with 242.3 points at the 13th Chinese National Games here on Wednesday.

Ranking fifth after the qualifier, Tan started the final with a disappointing 8.7-point shot, but managed to rule the final after 10 shots.

It was the third gold for the 45-year-old shooter who had his seventh outing to the Chinese National Games since 1993. Tan nailed two golds from the 7th and 10th Games respectively, and ranked second at the 12th Games in the same event.

It seemed to be a coincidence that Tan seized a shooting gold every 12 years at the National Games, dubbed the mini-Olympics by the Chinese.

"The gold was unexpected but reasonable  http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysargentina.com/Lionel-Messi-Jersey/ , because I did focus on every shot without any thoughts of the result," said the veteran. "It's an honour to make the final for a shooter."

The current world record of 241.6 points was set by Christian Reitz of Germany on March 10, 2017 at the European Shooting Championship in Maribor of Slovenia.

Ji Xiaojing of Qinghai claimed gold with 35 hits in women's 25m pistol event, bouncing back from a 6th place in the qualifier. Xiong Yaxuan of Jiangxi also came from behind in 8th place of the qualifier to a silver medal with 32 hits. Zhang Jingjing from Fujian, currently ranking world No.1, won the bronze with 28 hits.

Rio Olympic champion Zhang Mengxue missed the second series  http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysargentina.com/Jonathan-Maidana-Jersey/ , and only finished sixth in the women's 25m pistol final.

Scoring 251.2 points in the final, Li Jiahong of Heilongjiang pocketed the gold in the men's 50m rifle prone for an advantage of 0.3 points over the silver medalist, Liu Yukun of Shaanxi. Kang Hongwei from Zhejiang won the bronze with 228.8 points.

Li, runner-up of the event at 12th Games, said the gold was perfect for him.

"It is my first national games, and any result is acceptable  http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysargentina.com/Javier-Pastore-Jersey/ ," said the 20-year-old Liu, who ranked sixth in the men's 10m air rifle final on Tuesday.

President Xi Jinping said on Monday that history and facts can never be changed while attending a ceremony commemorating the start of China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

"History is history and facts are facts. Nobody can change history and facts. Anyone who intends to deny, distort or beautify history will not find agreement among Chinese people and people of all other countries," Xi said, referring to concern that Japan is trying to distort the history of the war.

The ceremony was held at the Museum of the War of the Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Beijing.

"It's a pity that a small minority of people still ignore the iron-clad history and the fact that tens of millions of innocent people sacrificed their lives in the war nearly 70 years after the victory of the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japanese aggression and the world anti- fascist war," he said.

This minority has repeatedly denied or even beautified the history of invasion  http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysargentina.com/Guido-Pizarro-Jersey/ , undermining mutual trust among states and creating regional tensions. Such behavior has been strongly condemned by the world's peace-loving people, said Xi.

"History is the best textbook, as well as the best dose of sobriety," Xi said, adding that Chinese people who remember the torment of war have always been in pursuit of peace.

"History tells us that any aggression by force is doomed to fail," Xi warned. "China will unswervingly pursue the road of peaceful development and hope all other countries in the world can take the same road."

Xi's remarks came after Japan's reinterpretation of its pacifist Constitution last week.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's cabinet endorsed a reinterpretation of its pacifist Constitution on July 1 for the right to collective self-defense  http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysargentina.com/Gonzalo-Higuain-Jersey/ , fueling concerns over Japan's return to its past militarism.

Previously, right-wingers in Japan initiated a series of provocations, from the "nationalization" of China's Diaoyu Islands by the former Japanese government to Abe's ridiculous visit to the Yasukuni Shrine.

Japan invaded northeast China in September 1931. But historians agree that Japan's full-scale invasion started on July 7, 1937, when a crucial access point to Beijing, Lugou Bridge  http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysargentina.com/Gabriel-Mercado-Jersey/ , was attacked by Japanese troops.

Around 35 million Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed or injured by Japanese troops during the war against Japanese aggression (1937-45), with at least 300,000 people slaughtered in the Nanjing Massacre alone.

Xi said the Chinese nation at that time faced the most direct threats, prompting "all ethnic groups, classes, parties  http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysargentina.com/Facundo-Roncaglia-Jersey/ , social organizations and patriots from all circles, as well as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots and overseas Chinese, to unite and throw themselves into a grand struggle which meant life and death for the Chinese nation."

He added that the Communist Party of China had also shouldered its historical responsibilities by calling f.  Cheap Jerseys    Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping    Cheap Wholesale Jerseys    Cheap Jerseys China Free Shipping    Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys    Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping    Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale    Cheap Football Jerseys    Wholesale Jerseys    Wholesale Baseball Jerseys
