On the afternoon of October 31st, the Institute of Physics (IOP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) hosted a health activity themed "Eastern Vitality • Harmony of Body and Mind" for foreign scholars in the activity room of Building R. Eight foreign scholars participated in the event, which focused on promoting traditional Chinese health preservation culture and enhancing their physical and mental well-being. 

The activity featured Baduanjin (Eight-Section Brocade), a traditional health Qigong practice. The instructor explained its historical inheritance, health value and the core essence of body-mind harmony, and guided the scholars to practice gentle and coherent movements with soothing background music. Foreign scholars shared their insights during the break, saying the activity helped relieve research stress and deepened their understanding of Chinese culture.

This event is an important measure to enrich the cultural life of foreign scholars at IOP, enhancing their sense of identity and belonging. In the future, IOP will continue to launch more diverse cultural and health activities to create a harmonious and healthy environment for foreign scholars.
