A stress-relief festival kicked off on Wednesday in southern China's
Guangzhou, attracting many local office workers to take part, the city's
Information Times reported.

The festival is the first of its kind in China. It aims to help office
workers drive away the huge pressures triggered in their daily lives.

People were invited to learn stress-relief dances and take part in some
adventurous activities involving a giant frisbee and a roller coaster.
They can scream as loud as they want while using these breathtaking
stress relievers. After getting off the machines, they will find their
bad moods have completely vanished.

Huge pressures nowadays have become an important health problem for
office workers. A survey showed the pressure Chinese face today is five
times larger than those experienced 20 years ago. Ninety percent of
people have disrupted their well-balanced lives due to the problem.

High work loads, keen competition and difficulty in good communicating
with colleagues, bosses and clients were ascribed as the main reasons for
the pressure.
