After the lecture, Zhang held fast to his skeptisim despite the favorable comments from the audiences. Soon afterwards, the school invited Dr. Yan again. The admission tickets to the lecture were sold out in no time. Zhang, nonetheless, was still nonchalant. But, unable to resist the eager entreaties of his ten year old son, he eventually went to the lecture. The lecture started at 8:30 p.m. Zhang followed the instructions of Dr. Yan. At first, he felt nothing special. After three rounds, he started rotating all over. Zhang thought to himself, "The magnetic field here is real strong." Therefore, Zhang rotated from practically the very beginning of the lecture to the very end. It lasted nearly seven hours. The next day after the lecture, Zhang practiced according to the instructions of Dr. Yan. He found, to his surprise, that even in the absence of Dr. Yan, he could have the movement as he had was in the lecture. In addition, the more he practiced, the more violently he moved. The energy within him stretched to reach the ailing parts of his body with an uncontrollable pace. Zhang loved to play basketball. His legs had been injured twelve times. He had to wear kneepan in winter. Zhang used to worry that he would have to suffer from this chronic illness in his old age. Yet, after only half a month’s practice of Qigong, the pains in his legs were considerably alleviated. When winter came, he did not need kneepads at all. Moreover, he feels at ease when mounting stairs or riding a bicycle. His left ear suffered from neural deafness. Whenever he practiced Qigong, he could feel the Qi gathering around the ear. What is more interesting, after practicing for a while, Zhang can alleviate the sickness of others as well. He helped to relieve the pain in the neck bone and stomach of 178 his wife.

I had no such a desire in the past few years! Since then I have been practicing every day, half an hour or more at a time. It’s truly a fascinating experience. First time I found myself hard to concentrate, But the second time, I forced myself to think nothing. In a moment there appeared a scene in front of me: I was Sitting on the grass around a lake. Opposite there were high mountains and big trees, through which the sun was shining brightly. With the wind Stroking the branches, the Sunshine seemed to be hiding itself from time to time. At that moment I felt a fit of cold and hot, Well, the same thing happened in my later practice, except that I saw more things, for instance, one day, I was on a boat in the lake and a woman with a child on her back was rowing the boat. Somehow the boat began to rock and I, too, and such. Afterwards in the course of my practice more was added, Sometimes the sun was high in the blue sky; sometimes it was covered by clouds. Washed by the sunshine, I felt hot; under thunder and lightning, I felt cold. I remember once that I was on a boat, but in some way I changed my place~I was lying on the glass. The sun was so fierce as to make me too hot to bear. Standing up, I went to the lake and Jumped onto the boat which was still in the centre of the lake. I washed my face with the ling a lot more Comfortable. Then in On May 15, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to meet Dr. Yan who encouraged me a great deal, A year later unexpectedly I could not only stand up, but walk as before.

In the United States alone, chapters spread in 30 states and more than 60 main universities such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford and Columbia. Many prestigious research institutions, among them are Harvard University, Princeton University, Fitzer Foundation and Stanford Mind-being Research Center, tried actively to interact with the Association in seeking cooperation with Dr. Yan Xin in scientific research on Qigong. Last summer the College of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine in Hawaii gave Dr. Yan an honorary M.D. degree.
