Md Jobayed, a student from Bangladesh studying at Jiangsu Vocational College of Information Technology in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, has developed a deep appreciation for tai chi, drawn by the rich local culture.
Through his practice of tai chi, he has discovered the wisdom of softening force and going with the flow. His experiences with pottery have similarly taught him that only by slowing down and mindfully guiding the clay can it truly take shape. These practices have enriched his understanding of the philosophy embedded in Chinese culture that is known as "overcoming hardness with softness", showing how softness is not a sign of weakness but rather a higher form of strength.
