Featured with universality, Shaolin kung fu is a perfect exercise for people aged from 3 to 80. The online games received registrations from many families.<\/p>\n

“The Kung Fu contest is not only about skills, but also an expression of cultural heritage, and a display of the tiger-like spirit in the Chinese Year of the Tiger,” said Abbot Shi Yongxin, who exalted the outstanding performance of contestants across the world.<\/p>\n

The online contest not only received extensive support from governments and enterprises but also got foreign media coverage.<\/p>\n

Austrian Ambassador to China Andreas Riecken sent a congratulatory letter to Abbot Shi Yongxin on January 28. The ambassador spoke highly of the contest: “The Shaolin Kung Fu Online Games help promote mutual understanding between Chinese culture and other cultures in the world through Shaolin kung fu.” The Ambassador also wished the contest a complete success at the end of the letter.<\/p>\n

The temple also received congratulatory messages from government officials around the world including Heinz Fischer, former president of Austria and president of the Austria-China Friendship Association (ACFA), Slovakian Culture Minister Nat\u00e1lia Milanov\u00e1, Mayor of Slovakia’s Brezno City Tom\u00e1\u0161 Abel, U.S. Congresswoman Grace Meng, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Austrian Buddhist Religious Society President Gerhard Wei\u00dfgrab, Chu Kwok-keung, member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong SAR, and Macau Legislative Assembly Members Ma Chi-seng, Zheng Anting, and Pang Chuan.<\/p>\n

Italian TV channel Rai 2 produced a report on the contest, introducing Shaolin kung fu in detail and the Temple’s donation to Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Local contestants also expressed their love for Shaolin kung fu in the report.<\/p>\n

The result will be announced on February 15. An award ceremony will be held and broadcast to audiences via live streaming.<\/p>\n
