Grand Master Zhao Jin-Xiang: Chinese Soaring Crane Qigong was developed by Grand Master Zhao Jin-Xiang in the late 1970’s after the Cultural Revolution. He was the first master in
China
to teach qigong to the public and started with nine students at a park in Bejing. Some of his students were seriously ill and all of them regained their health to become the first teachers of Soaring Crane Qigong. Later, as his teachers spread all over China, millions of people improved their health. His work is carried on by his certified teachers.
