The Edict has been issued!

圣旨已经传达下来了。正如我所料,去年参与中国之旅的学生必须将所学的少林拳搬上舞台与全校分享。所谓:“是福不是祸,是祸躲不过”。我早在去年就已经让他们做好心里准备,不要以为随便学学就算了。因为在出发之前,意思已经很清楚传达给他们,所以这次新春表演是势在必行。既然要做,就做得最好。既然要表演,就认真对待,让别人看了赞叹,而不是觉得自己上台很丢脸。要知道,如果这一点点演出都觉得丢脸,要不就是自己当初没有认真学习,要不就是唾弃自己的丰富文化精华。

不管别人怎么说,怎么嫌弃,只要自己尽力做得最好,那我一定全力支持到底!

The imperial edict has been issued. As expected, those who went for the China Cultural Trip last year are required to put up a performance to share what they learnt about shaolin fists with the school. Knowing it to be inevitable, I have put the point across clearly to those who went. Also, our leader made it known before departure that they would be required to perform what they have learnt, so this news should not come as a surprise to anyone at all. Since the task has been set, we should aim to do our best. Do it once, do it good, and get it over and done with. The worst type of mentality is to think that it's a disgrace to perform. Why? Because such an answer will mean that the student didn't take the experience seriously or was looking down at the rich culture and heritage. If you do your best and put up a good performance, who would be looking down at you?

Regardless of what others may say, I will only say I will give my fullest support to all performers as long as they are determined to do a good one!
