I heard these words during an interview I took in China during a research trip. I have never forgotten the emotion in the speaker - what the Chinese call filial piety.
Yet that is also how I learnt, starting over forty years ago, and I continue to this day. I train to find the meaning in what I have been taught - I teach to pass on what I have been taught. And that is how kung fu endures. Yet I am also one of the fortunate ones. I am in no doubt of the style I practise - the White Crane System of Kung Fu. I know my Master's name and also revere his memory - Master Ang Liang Huat.
We all think that we are living in times of huge change, and in terms of technology and comfort we are. But as a youngster growing up in Singapore over fifty years ago... that was a period of profound and rapid change... political, social, economic. Yet essentially Wushu does not change... not for those who treasure its heritage... it stays unchanging for generations, with some bits being lost, bits being added from outside influences... and then one day you come along and join in. And you can make it your own.
Learn until you die - that is what I try to do. See you in class.
