This year, Dec 5 marked the 37th International Volunteer Day for Social and Economic Development. On the same day, Guiyang carried out volunteer fitness activities to promote a healthy lifestyle.

One of the volunteer instructors, Guiyan native, Tang Weixing, a renowned professional Go player who has won two international championships – the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance World Masters Baduk and the Ing Cup – gave free lessons to some Go enthusiasts at the Guiyang Chess Institute.

A Go enthusiast surnamed Xiang who attended the lessons said "Go is a charming game. You won't repeat the same gameplay in the next 10,000 games.” 

A swimming public welfare class was also held at the Guiyang Resident Fitness Center on the same day. "Pay attention to arm and leg movements," stated Gao Meixin, swimming coach, to those in attendance. "Those who have mastered basic swimming skills learned tactics on drowning prevention, rescue and self-rescue," Gao said. 

Additionally, Guiyang Sports Service Center for the Elderly also organized activities to encourage the elderly to participate in sports activities such as tennis, aerobics, and square dance.

Guiyang will continue to carry out activities to promote the development of national fitness.
