Chen Xiaoxing and Me

An article on Grandmaster Chen Xiaoxing from Kung fu Tai Chi Magazine in 2005. Look closely at the bottom right photo on page 5. It's a picture of my graduating class at the Chen Village School in  1988. I'm in the second row, 3rd from the left - the already-bald white guy. I have no idea why they chose that photo. There have been many graduating classes since then and surely there have been other foreign students. It was quite a shock to see it when I looked through the magazine at the news stand.

I made the pictures extra large so you can read it easily. You'll have to scroll across the pages to see everything. Chen Xiaoxing just finished his final teaching tour of America recently. I wasn't able to attend one of his seminars however. I wonder if he would remember me...
