At the beginning of August,About Meimosheng and Martial Art Articles Chinese painter MeiMosheng taking along a landscapes and ink works flew to London to attend the display held by the Olympic Fine Arts. MeiMosheng guested Jinghua Teahouse in the past few days and stated that he was fond of the athletes from different countries showing a different national character, this was very funny. He appreciated that Olympics could make all countries lay down the difference of races, regions and states differences then come together, become a feast enjoyed by the whole human beings.
Scrapper Was Defeated by Mei.

The Function of WuShu isn't Struggle or Athletics.

It Is Difficult That WuShu to Be an Olympic Item.
There is an argument in sports and WuShu communities about whether Chinese martial arts should strive for joining Olympic Games.

There were many problems about traditional sports like martial arts to be competitive items because of the difference in culture attitudes and realization of learning.
Firstly, we should draw up many rules that could be measured, but martial arts itself is a way to cultivate yourselves, not for competition, so it is very hard in operation. MeiMosheng contained that traditional Chinese martial arts sports items can be extended to overseas is good, but it is not necessarily for overseas promotion to cater to Western tastes. He insisted that our Chinese youths should be confident about our national traditional cultures, be responsible for inheritance of traditional cultures and keep a calm mentality.
