Niu Guozheng's "Chinese-style Workout" records a unique nationwide social phenomenon of the 1990s. People from every social class became fascinated by qigong, a type of deep-breathing exercise. It was an indication of the loss of spiritual belief and idealism. Dramatic changes to the Chinese people's identity during the opening-up in the last two decades of the 20th century led to widespread anxiety and insecurity. This set of pictures vividly depicts people's lifestyles and their spiritual condition. (Curator: Liu Shuyong)
