The first movie I ever saw in the cinema? The Shaolin Temple in 1982.
I remember being totally captivated by Jet Li – though back then, he was just ‘Jet Lee’ – and the epic martial arts moves that made me feel like I could take on the world (or at least, try to). Sure, there was action, comedy, and even a little romance, but what really stuck with me was the idea that martial arts wasn’t just about fighting—it was about discipline, balance, and precision.
Now, seeing Mrs. Chen’s tai chi moves, I can’t help but feel like I’ve come full circle. A little less kung fu action, a little more zen, but the essence is the same. Sometimes, you need to slow down and find your balance—even if the world around you is speeding up.
