Every morning, instructors from nearby martial arts schools come here to lead morning exercises. Anyone can participate and receive guidance, which serves as a subtle form of advertising for their respective schools.
Although many of the participants are too old to achieve any real mastery, the daily exercises are not strenuous. They focus on regulating one's breath and improving the circulation of qi and blood, which is highly effective for improving general wellness.
As a result, it wasn't just the elderly who participated; many young white-collar workers also joined the morning exercise groups. Many found that instead of feeling tired afterward, they had more energy throughout the day. Gradually, it became a regular habit, and they even began to form their own social circles around it.
Today, however, an unusual sound cut through the air before anyone had even begun to train.
DING! DING! DING!
It was the sound of text message notifications.
