In Copenhagen, the coaching team organized three themed events. The first, held at the China Cultural Center in Copenhagen, attracted many local wushu enthusiasts.
Mu Xianghong, director of the China Cultural Center in Copenhagen, emphasized in his opening speech the significance of wushu as a cultural bridge.
Zhang Luping, leader of the coaching team, introduced the history and development of wushu. Li Jianwen, an associate professor from Shanghai Sports University, explained basic wushu theory in an accessible manner, followed by superb performances that brought the event to a climax.
Another event took place at the Happy Mermaid Chinese Culture School, attended by guests including Tong Xin, spouse of the Chinese ambassador to Denmark, and Shen Ang, director of the consular section. Tong stated in her speech that wushu is not only a sport for physical fitness but also a bond for China-Denmark cultural exchange.
During the event, 300 teachers and students learned wushu from the coaches, enjoying the fun of wushu amid laughter. Local Danish wushu organizations also attended to showcase their skills and interact with the Chinese coaching team.
To meet the needs of enthusiasts, a third Wushu Camp activity was held at the China Cultural Center in Copenhagen over the weekend, attracting more than 60 local residents. Coaches provided professional guidance in small-group teachings.
This Wushu Camp activity marks the first collaboration between the Chinese Wushu Association and the China Cultural Center in Copenhagen to carry out wushu exchange activities in Denmark. With a mix of theoretical courses and technical training, the events allowed Danes to appreciate both the strength and beauty of wushu and deepened their understanding of Chinese culture. The activities fostered closer hearts between the peoples of China and Denmark.
