Wang Min, a naturist from Chongqing, has a ready answer when asked why he became a nudist.
Nude sports originated in ancient Greece. At that time people believed that the human body is one of the most beautiful things in nature, and the best vehicle to demonstrate human self-confidence and pride. Therefore, the Greeks not only engaged in nudism during festivals and sports activities, but also in a variety of art forms to express and praise the human body.
In the early 20th century, Western European countries had evolved into industrialized societies. Some people began to put "Naked Beauty" into practice. They started to allow nudity on certain beaches or in some sports activities.
The floor of the small courtyard at the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum is rough and craggy.

The Silk Road. The very name conjours up images of hardy, courageous merchants fighting off bandits and warring tribesmen as their caravans, carrying exotic silks and spices, ventured warily along a series of ancient trade routes that stretched more than 7,000 kilometers from China to the Mediterranean Sea and provided a connection between East and West for centuries.
China's media landscape is changing fast. The increasing popularity of new media, especially the Internet and smartphone apps, has forced providers of traditional content into a period of painful restructuring.
Between Feb 20 and Feb 26, Beijing, Hebei province and its provincial capital Shijiazhuang issued orange alerts, the second-highest level, warning residents about severe air pollution affecting the region.
"Solving the problem of smog is every citizen's responsibility. Everyone's sense of social responsibility should prompt a change in the way we live. Let's all act now. Individuals can opt to use low-carbon transportation, and a reduction in the use of air conditioners and disposable goods should be encouraged."
Many cities that have analyzed their airborne pollution sources have discovered that a significant proportion of their pollutants do not come from local industry, but are carried by the wind from nearby regions or sometimes even farther away.
