On 2 January 2022 Zhang Guangde’s New Year International Meeting and year-end global Daoyin Yangsheng Gong performance was held on Zoom. Nearly four hundred people from more than ten countries—Britain, France, Russia, the United States, Canada, Belgium, Spain, and others—took part. Hu Xiaofei organized and hosted; Choy Linlin interpreted.
Guests included: Zhang Guangde, founder of Daoyin Yangsheng Gong, professor at Beijing Sport University, honorary director of the Daoyin Yangsheng Center, dual ninth duan in wushu and Health Qigong; his senior disciple Yang Bailong, professor at Beijing Sport University, ninth duan in Health Qigong; Zhang Zheng, vice president of the Chinese Wushu Association; Yang Hui, director of the Daoyin Yangsheng Center at Beijing Sport University, and Zhuang Yongchang, deputy director.
Yang Bailong gave the opening address; Yang Hui spoke on behalf of the Daoyin Yangsheng Center; Zhang Zheng spoke. Zhang Guangde sent New Year greetings to practitioners overseas. Everyone opened their cameras and performed Daoyin Health Practice and Yangsheng Zhuji Gong (Foundation Practice). Zhang Guangde commented and thanked participants from each country.
The original writes this meeting as three things: letting practitioners worldwide see Zhang Guangde; letting him know how far Daoyin Yangsheng Gong had come in each place; and calling more people to practice together. The text also has an announcement of a March competition, which is not taken in here.
