Boomtown China

Practising Tai Ji to music

Practising tai ji (tai chi) to music outside the metro station in the brand spanking new neighbourhood of WanXia. This is not a common sight in the city of Shenzhen because this city of 9 million plus is only 3o years old and old people are not a common sight.

Many Chinese couples have told me when they bring their parens to Shenzhen, hopefully to live with them, the parents are bored in this new city far from their network of friends and in some cases away from their native dialect. Yes, even in China sometimes people are unable to verbally communicate with each other.
