'SOUL OF SHAOLIN' IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEEN AND TRUST ME, I HAVE SEEN PLENTY!
SO IF I SAY IT IS A WONDERFUL SHOW WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY, IT IS AS TRUE AS THE KAMA SUTRA AND LOTUS SUTRA! IF AFTER WATCHING THE SHOW AND YOU COME OUT SWEARING ON YOUR ANCESTORS' SOULS IT WAS LOUSY, WELL, THEN YOU CANNOT BE CHINESE, OMITIFU!
NO OTHER RACE CAN BOAST OF SHAOLIN TEMPLE KUNGFU! DUE TO THE BLESSINGS OF THE GODS AND GODDESSES, THE CHINESE RACE CAN TRACE AN UNINTERRUPTED HISTORY OF 6,000 YEARS OF CIVILISATION TO THIS VERY DAY AS I TYPE THIS KEYBOARD.
CHINA WOULD HAVE CONQUERED AND COLONISED EUROPE IF NOT FOR THE GREATEST AND MOST STUPID MISTAKE EVER MADE IN HISTORY---AFTER ADMIRAL CHENG HO'S EXPLOITS, CHINA DECIDED TO ABANDON ITS MARINE ENDEAVOURS AND EXPEDITIONS! CHINA FOOLISHLY CLOSED THE SHIPYARDS AND LOOKED INWARDS TO FOLLOW AN INTROSPECTIVE AGENDA, THINKING ONLY THE CHINESE WORLD WAS THE ONLY ONE WORTH ITS ATTENTION! ONLY PROVES EVEN THE SMARTEST AND SHARPEST RACE CAN MAKE INTER-GENERATIONAL MISTAKES!
NOT ONCE BUT TWICE! IF CHINA HAD NOT GONE COMMUNIST, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WORLD'S BIGGEST SUPERPOWER WAY AHEAD OF AMERICA AS CHINKS ARE SO GOOD AT MAKING MONEY.
LUCKILY, SHAOLIN KUNGFU MARTIAL ARTS SURVIVED DESPITE THE EVIL MAO ZEDONG AND COMMIES TRYING TO ANNIHILATE IT! IF NOT, ALL THE KUNGFU EXPERTS WOULD TODAY BE PRACTISING THEIR MOVES IN PADDY FIELDS.

Soul of
Shaolin theatrical show
Among
the oldest institutionalised styles of Chinese martial arts, Shaolin kung fu is first in terms of beauty and artistry. And kung fu enthusiasts would
be happy to know this magnificent martial art form will be on full display
at Resorts World Genting when the theatrical event, Soul of Shaolin: Hui
Guang's Story takes centre stage from 28
May to 26 June 2017.
A critically acclaimed show that
earned a nomination at the 63rd Tony Awards in 2009, it has held
more than 500 performances worldwide in such countries as the US, Australia,
Italy, Norway, India, Korea, Turkey, Macau, Hong Kong, and Turkey. When it opened at Marquis Theater on Broadway
in January 2009, all its seven performances were sold out—and Jan 15 was
promptly proclaimed China on Broadway Day by New York City.
At Resorts World Genting, Soul of
Shaolin: Hui Guang's Story will be held at Genting International Showroom at 9pm
or 4pm*, from 28 May to 26 June 2017. There will be two shows—at 4pm and 9pm—on
24 June. A total of 22 shows are scheduled, with each screening lasting 90
minutes (with 10 minutes intermission).
Billed as China's key cultural export
project by China's Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Commerce, the State
Administration of Radio, Film & Television, and the General Administration
of Press and Publication, the event is deemed “the Best of China” and is
brought to you by Asian Arts Connection.
Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang's Story is
a stirring portrait of the life of a Shaolin monk. The tale begins with a woman
who is forced to abandon her son when she finds herself pursued by a group of
bandits. The woman hides her child among tall grass before jumping off a cliff
in her effort to evade capture.
The child is later found by Na Luo, a
Shaolin kung fu monk, who also picks up a piece of broken jade he finds near
the former. Years go by, and the child, named Hui Guang, grows strong and
healthy—raised and taught by Na Luo and also Miao Xing, the abbot of Shaolin
Temple. Hui Guang's past is not hidden from him; the truth is revealed to him,
along with the piece of jade.
Depressed upon learning about his
tragic past, Hui Guang gets drunk and ends up provoking other monks.
He is then punished by Miao Xing who places him in a cave known as Bodhidharma. As it turns out, Hui Guang learns about being a paragon of virtue—that it is the real soul of Shaolin.

The story continues with him later
crossing paths with his mother. Still out looking for her son, she once again
finds herself in trouble when she runs into some ruffians. Hui Guang and Na Luo
come to her aid, and while fighting off the hoodlums, the former loses his
piece of broken jade. When his mother comes upon it later, she searches for him
at his temple.
Mother and son are reunited and both
wish to leave the temple to begin life anew. Unfortunately, temple rules
dictate that a monk that wishes to leave, must fight his way out. As it turns
out, the final opponent Hui Guang must face is Na Luo—and the latter chooses to
fake his vanquishing in order to help Hui Guang. The story thus ends well, with
Hui Guang and his mother leaving the temple to start a new life.
Tickets for Soul of Shaolin: the Story
