In a recent installment of CGTN’s global campaign ‘Ask China Expats’, Brazilian vlogger Rian Neves shares his experiences with China’s burgeoning fitness culture. Residing in the historic city of Xi’an in northwest China, Rian responds to questions from a fellow Brazilian curious about the Chinese people’s enthusiasm for fitness.
Rian highlights how fitness has become an integral part of daily life across the country. From early morning tai chi sessions in community parks to bustling gyms filled with energetic patrons, he observes a nationwide embrace of healthy living. “Chinese people truly enjoy the fun of fitness,” Rian remarks. “There’s a ‘Healthy China’ craze that’s inspiring everyone to get active.”
He notes that this trend spans all ages and demographics, with individuals participating in activities like martial arts, group dancing, and cycling. Rian attributes the fitness boom to increased health awareness and supportive initiatives promoting well-being.
The ‘Ask China Expats’ campaign aims to bridge cultural gaps by featuring foreigners living in China who share their firsthand experiences. Rian’s insights offer a unique perspective on how health and fitness are woven into the fabric of Chinese society, providing global audiences with a deeper understanding of these developments.
