A musical on Wing Chun delights the audience in Heshan

The musical “Shadow of the Hero: Wing Chun” was recently staged in Beijing. It's based on the life story of Liang Zan, the grandmaster of Wing Chun, a Chinese martial art, from Heshan, Jiangmen. A Wing Chun wooden dummy was very popular outside the venue, and both adults and children tried to experience the unique charm of Wing Chun. Such a scene can be seen everywhere in Heshan, which is full of a strong martial arts atmosphere. Wing Chun artists try to promote this special kind of martial art; some run public martial arts schools in their spare time, while others spread it overseas. #artandculture

近日，以江门鹤山咏春宗师梁赞生平故事为基础改编的音乐剧《侠影·咏春》在北京上演。场外一处咏春木人桩备受欢迎，大、小观众竞相击打体验，感受咏春的独特魅力。这样的场景，在咏春故里鹤山随处可见。鹤山民间，尚武之风盛行。咏春拳传承人各司其职，有的业余时间开设公益性武馆，有的则在海外传播。
