1st World Shadowboxing Convention for Longevity Scheduled Late This March

March 22-26 will see the first International "Longevity" Shadowboxing (Tai Chi Chuan) Health Conventions held in Sanya, Hainan Province. As estimated, over 3000 fans will take part in this great event.

The global event, known in Chinese as "Shoubinanshan" or "enjoying a long life as to match the Southern Mountain" in English, is jointly organized by China Martial Arts Association, the Martial Arts Administration Center of the State General Administration of Sports and the municipal government of Sanya. The preparatory work is now underway.

The theme topic is, as reported, "Science & Health", which is meant to go in for "Peace and Friendship".

The opening ceremony "Radiance of Health" will as scheduled be held at Zhonghuacheng (City of China) Square this 22nd. And then about ten thousand Tai Chi players from home and abroad will give a show of the shadowboxing somewhere near the Dadonghai as a sort of supportive activity for Beijing's bid for 2008 Olympics.

Statistics showed that more than 2000 people from China and some 1000 from Japan, America, Canada, etc. have registered their participation in it. Those from Japan alone have come to some 360 in all. The total number is expected to exceed 3000 in due course.
