It's 10 am on a school day morning in Shanghai
and students are standing in lines on the playground, doing their morning
exercises. As a teacher at the front calls out, "Yi, er, san, si..." the
students extend their arms, then bring them to their chests; bend their knees,
then straighten up. Many of the students seem bored.
Meanwhile, in a primary school in
Xiangyang, Hubei Province, students are dancing to pop music. Which would you
rather do?
Since
1951, morning calisthenics(健身操) have been a part of
Chinese life. The school in Xiangyang wanted to make morning exercises more
fun, so it looked to a group of people who seemed to really enjoy exercising damas(大妈)! These "aunties" dance on public squares each evening,
often driving neighbours crazy with their loud music. But it is good exercise
and they are having fun. So, why shouldn't students be allowed to follow their
example?
Well, on the Internet, most posters said
dancing in the primary school in Xiangyang looked funny. One poster said that
calisthenics were old-fashioned and that "the organized movements leave no
room for personal freedom".
Fitness is essential for young people. Too
much study and too much computer time are making many young Chinese fat and
unfit, so it's important that they become more active. And being active is the
key, even if that means doing away with calisthenics and, instead, dancing like
damas.
