My Sifu made a trip to Guangzhou last week and bought a stack of old martial arts magazines dating from the 1980s. Although I have written in a previous post about his collection of old martial arts magazines and manuals from the 1930s, this was interesting on a different level as one could actually see many of the famous personages whom I have actually met, as they were in their youth. The level of articles was also generally higher than those in the martial arts magazines from China nowadays, which mainly consist of regurgitated articles that practitioners of no particular renown (or skill) have to write and publish in order to obtain their danwei or ranking. Anyhow flipping through the 20-30 copies I found 3-4 excellent articles that I hope to translate in the coming weeks.
But in the meantime here is a cover photo of CXW from the 1980s - enjoy.
