Running like a snake to promote health
Print Edition
Nearly 2,500 students running in changing formations that resemble the classic game Snake have become the latest hit on Chinese social media.
In a recent viral video, students from Haimen No. 1 Middle School in east China鈥檚 Jiangsu Province are seen running on the school playground in exquisitely choreographed formations, which, if seen from above, are similar to the slithering snake from the iconic mobile game.
The video has become an instant sensation on China鈥檚 Twitter-like Sina Weibo, garnering more than 30 million views.
鈥淎s a diehard Snake fan, I would have been much more willing to attend my high school morning exercises if they were this fun,鈥 a netizen said on Sina Weibo.
Chen Jianming, the school鈥檚 PE teacher who choreographed the exercises, said the exercise routine begins at 9am every school day and lasts for about half an hour.
The formations were specially designed to allow the school鈥檚 2,000-plus students to exercise at the same time on a small playground as well as to add more fun to the daily exercise routine, according to Chen.
鈥淲e hope to bring more interesting elements to the exercises to attract more students,鈥 Chen said. 鈥淭he students get to train their bodies while building a strong team spirit.鈥
鈥淭he exercises were a lot of fun,鈥 said Shen Yifan, a senior student at the school. 鈥淭hey help relieve pressure from my studies and bring all students together.鈥
