Real Life in China: Culture Clubs

China has a huge industry aimed at providing a holistic education to the Nation’s children. "Culture Clubs" are everywhere in Chinese towns and cities, and offer a vast array of dance, drama, performing and visual arts curricula alongside traditional Chinese culture such as calligraphy and chess. These innovative education providers form a very necessary counterpoint to the antiquated and often draconian pedagogy prevalent in China's primary and secondary school system.
