At first, no one paid much attention, thinking it was just a temporary influence of Tai Chi Chuan.
A few days later.
People discovered that the number of old men practicing Tai Chi in the park in the morning...
was increasing!
And it wasn't just the old men.
Some old ladies had actually betrayed square dancing and had taken to the embrace of Tai Chi.
Then...
School entertainment performances;
Company culture and art performances;
Various martial arts competition events;
All had Tai Chi elements appearing!
Wham!
The influence of Tai Chi exploded!
It involved different age groups!
On the internet.
Netizens were frantically discussing:
"My grandpa has become obsessed with practicing Tai Chi!"
"My grandfather too, whenever he's free he heads out to practice and even spars with some old men in the community."
"Wow."
"That's nothing, our gym teacher actually started teaching us Tai Chi in PE classes instead of just running laps around the track."
