At the age of just 18, Zhao Gang, the son of Manchurian
intellectuals, was the youngest member of the legendary Star Group,
alongside Ai Weiwei as well as Huang Rui. In 1979, the way the
up-and-coming avant-garde group in China protested against the
party’s control of art was as influential as it was unsuccessful.
Later, he studied in Europe and in the United States, acquired
American citizenship, and is regarded as one of the outstanding
“representatives of his generation, who truly understands East as
well as West and speaks Chinese and English as a native language”
(Phil Tinara) and who, as a passionate painter, consequently, also
blends the visual language of East and West into a hybrid in a
subtle, rebellious, sensitive, frenetic, mischievous, and absurd
manner. In 2018 he took part in the survey exhibition “Art and
China after 1989: Theater of the World” at the Guggenheim Museum,
which showed the crème de la crème of contemporary art. The
publication provides an overview of six central exhibitions from
recent years, and takes a retrospective look at his work and life.
A truly remarkable story of Zen medicine and how you can bring its
practices into your own life. Author Shi Zxinggui began studying
Zen medicine-a combination of meditation, gentle physical activity
and medicine-as a child under the tutelage of the Shaolin Temple's
Master Dechan. She carried it with her, eventually going on to
lecture on the subject in both China and abroad for several
decades. When she was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer,
Zxinggui returned to the Shaolin Temple, hoping the Zen medicine
she'd spent so long teaching others about would help her. After
careful nursing and appropriate mind and body exercises, her cancer
went into remission. Since her own cancer battle, Zxinggui has
helped many other cancer patients, devoting her life to this work.
This book, which draws on the author's 20 years as a cancer
fighter, 50 years as a doctor and life-long wisdom as a Zen
practitioner, provides insight into how readers can implement these
strategies, which emphasize daily health care and cultivation of
the body and soul, into their own lives-not only to help with
physical diseases, but also to ease mental anxieties and inspire
others to live a clean, healthy life. Ailments addressed in the
book are varied, and include: IBS Lumbar disc herniation Back and
leg soreness High blood pressure Asthma And many others
