The Contemporary Choir’s Post

really starts giving you an insight into the value of our INCLUDE project

"No matter how broken or stressed you feel, singing has the power to heal. 🎶 Whether it's belting out your favourite tune in the shower or joining a choir, the act of singing releases endorphins, reduces stress, and lifts your spirits. So next time you're feeling overwhelmed, turn up the music and let your voice be your guide to inner peace. #SingingHeals #StressRelief #MusicTherapy"

Visiting a part of the world with a vastly different political system and culture was eye-opening. Besides singing, one of the most striking experiences was browsing Chinese web browsers and news sites and noticing the state propaganda around the city. The way current events were presented, often with a much more positive spin, was interesting. While I strongly oppose mass surveillance, I was surprised to see an unexpected benefit: the freedom cyclists had to leave their expensive bikes unattended without fear of theft. Although I believe this advantage doesn't outweigh the significant human rights concerns, it did offer me a glimpse into another perspective. Finally, seeing the Great Wall of China, which dates back to the 7th century BC, offered some timeless lessons. The sheer size and endurance of the wall showed me just how far civilizations will go to protect themselves, both physically and psychologically. The wall wasn’t just a physical barrier; it was also a psychological one, sending a message of strength and deterrence to potential invaders. It drove home what I had seen throughout Beijing - that sometimes the perception of power can be just as important as actual power. The wall also made me think about the downside of isolation. While it provided security, it also symbolised a desire to keep out external influences, which, over time, led to stagnation and, eventually, the wall falling into disrepair. This had a negative impact on the Chinese economy at several points in history, even contributing to the collapse of some empires. So, while barriers can protect, they can also limit growth and exchange—something that feels like a perfect analogy for my first year at Kings.
