Other recreational activities in the training camps include shadow-boxing, waist drumming originating from northern Shanxi Province and unarmed combat displays.
Cui Li, the political commissar of a square array, said the cultural activities "with distinctive Chinese characteristics", had made the training more interesting and enabled the soldiers to improve the quality of their learning.
Life in the training camp is short, but the glorious tradition and the honor of taking part in the military parade would be cherished for a long time, he said.
