Martin, Bulgarian student:

"I think it's great. I would definitely look more into Kung Fu now, into its history, how it was founded and so on - because I really enjoyed it."  

Daniel, Bulgarian student:

"When I was a kid, I used to watch Kung Fu Panda! I was a big fan. Now I get to experience my childhood dream. I really like the time here in China. I want to come with my whole family to show them around."  

At Foshan's Hongsheng Memorial Hall, these Bulgarian students discover Cai Li Fo Quan martial arts - where wooden benches and folding fans become weapons in this national intangible heritage. Their sharp focus and crisp stances reveal natural talent.  

Local masters showcase the art's signature blend - agile shifts between offense and defense. More than combat, it's living tradition. Foshan, birthplace of legends like Ip Man and Bruce Lee, has spread this legacy to 176 countries with over 10 million practitioners worldwide.  

Svetla Hristova Hadzhikulova, Bulgarian teacher:  

"Culture, and events, and different interesting things (in China). It’s a really great opportunity to know each other, and maybe they want to come here to study, to continue their higher education after finishing high school, they can come to China to study in universities."  

Bulgarian students:

"Learn Chinese Kung Fu! Welcome to Foshan!"
