Reveal the veil of Chinese Kong Fu
阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯，几乎每条街道都会有一家华人超市。住在布市的巴夏习惯从中国超市买物美价廉的生活用品，同时会猜测超市老板会不会身怀绝世武功。
Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, has Chinese supermarkets in almost every street. Basia, who lives in Buenos Aires, is accustomed to buying inexpensive supplies from the Chinese supermarkets. At the same time, he guess that the Chinese owners must possess some Kong Fu.
巴夏很多朋友和他一样，认为当地华人有深藏不露的功夫。这个以地心为基点正对中国上海的城市，对中国功夫仍然不甚了解。
Basia’s several friends, like himself, believe that the local Chinese have some hidden talents. The city geographically oppsite to Shanghai is still not familiar with Chinese Kong Fu.
2018年2月，中国外文局首次发布 《中国话语海外认知度调研报告》。在认知度排在前100名的中国词中， “少林”一词高居榜首，武术词汇更是占了近十分之一的比重。中国人见怪不怪的武术，在外国人眼里却是神奇高深的秘术。“神秘”的功夫，和中国的科技进步、经济发展结合在一起，让网线另一端的巴夏甚至很多人都怀着疑问：中国人到底是什么样的。
In February 2018, the China Foreign Languages Bureau released the “Report on the Recognition of Chinese Discourse Overseas” for the first time. In the Chinese words ranked in the top 100 in recognition, the word “Shaolin” topped the list, and the martial arts vocabulary accounted for nearly one-tenth of the proportion.
Marvelous martial arts by the Chinese people are magical and profound in the eyes of foreigners. The “mysterious” Kung Fu, combined with China’s scientific and technological and economic progress, has made Basia and more other people at the other side of the planet wonder what the Chinese are really like.

李小龙半个世纪前凭武打片火遍全球，恐怕目前他的电影和武打套路仍是很多外国人对中国功夫认识的主要来源，巴夏是如此，阿根廷人或许也是如此。布宜诺斯艾利斯有丰富的街头文化，被问及布市街头中国元素的涂鸦，巴夏拍下的就是这样的一幅图。
Bruce Lee made Kung Fu popular all over the world half a century ago. I am afraid that his films and skills are still the main source of foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese Kung Fu.
Basia's ideas about Kong Fu derived from it , maybe so do many other Argentinean. Buenos Aires has colorful street culture and when Bsia was asked about the graffiti of the Chinese elements on the streets, he showed this picture:
布宜诺斯艾利斯街头涂鸦
中国的影视作品作也往往给人留下中国功夫高深莫测的印象。《卧虎藏龙》作为第一部获得奥斯卡最佳外语片的华语电影，也让轻盈缥缈的武侠动作成为中国功夫的标签。，他说“看到高手们飞来飞去，会觉得中国人有一种神秘的力量”。
China's films often leave people with the impression that Chinese Kung Fu is inscrutable. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as the first Chinese movie to win Oscar's best foreign language film, has also made the light and graceful movement a label for Chinese Kung Fu. Basia sometimes sees shopkeepers watching China's Xianxia TV dramas at Chinese supermarkets. He said that "when seeing the masters flying around, I feel that Chinese must have a mysterious power."
最受关注，却缺少正确宣传的中国功夫已悄然在阿根廷生根发芽，陈敏是探路者，也是带路者。从浙江武术省队退役的陈敏2008年来到阿根廷，租借了布宜诺斯艾利斯科尔多瓦街探戈俱乐部的一处场地开武馆，从开课第一天的1个学生到400多人，她一直想把中国武术原汁原味地带给阿根廷人。
Kung Fu, with the most concern and lackage of correct pubulicity, has quietly growing in Argentina. Chen Min is a pioneer.
Chen Min, who retired from the Zhejiang Wushu Provincial Team, arrived in Argentina in 2008 and rented a venue at a tango club in Cordova Street, Buenos Aires. Her class has attracted more than 400 Argentina students since then.
很多阿根廷人初到班里，对中国武术充满幻想，拿着外国电影里看到的套路要学，哭笑不得的陈敏不得不解释说，中国武术并不是他们想象的那样。她经常对外国习武者说的一句话就是，加了奶酪的中餐还叫中餐吗？
Many Argentines arrived early in the class and were full of illusions about Chinese Kung Fu. They wanted to learn the routines they saw in movies. Chen Min had to explain that Chinese Kung Fu was not exactaly as what they imagined. She always tells the metaphor to her students: the Chinese food with cheese added is not real Chinese food.
陈敏的朴实、专业和严谨，淡化了中国武术的神秘感，增添了学员对中国武术的尊重。很多学员在习武一段时间后，感觉身心得到全面改善，而反馈最多的则是来自小学员的父母，从前自由散漫的孩子变得规矩了，娇滴滴的孩子变得勇敢了。陈敏说：“武术原本就是强身健体，修炼心性，与神秘感相比，我更希望能激发学员心中对中国武术的敬畏和尊重。”
Chen Min's professionalism and sense of responsibility have eased the sense of mysterious of Chinese martial arts. After a period of time, many students feel that their minds and bodies have been improved.
The most important feedback is from the parents of young students. The children who had been naughty and unrestrained have become obeying rules, and the delicate children have become brave. Chen Min said: "Kung Fu, or material arts was not noly originally a physical exercise, but also cultivation of heart, I hope to arouse the students awarness of respect for martial arts."
陈敏一直坚信，武术是中国文化的名片，这张名片所传播的远非几个很酷的动作，更重要的是武德中所包含的中华文化和传统美德。陈敏在教学中时常会穿插一些武林中充满正义感的小故事，也会把中华文化中克己复礼、尊老爱幼、阴阳平衡、宁静致远等元素融入教学当中。她记得有的学员颇有感悟地说过，他研习的是武术，更是中国人的生活态度。
Chen Min has been firmly convinced that martial arts is a namecard for Chinese culture. It represents Chinese culture and traditional virtues contained in Kung Fu. Chen Min often interspersed with some stories full of sense of justice in teaching, and also incorporated elements of Chinese culture, such as self-denial, rites, love of youth, balance between yin and yang, and tranquility and wisdom. She remembered that some of the trainees had been quite sensible to say, it was the attitude of the Chinese people that he really learned from the training.
这样的武馆，在布宜诺斯艾利斯还有很多家。而几年的不懈努力也为陈敏赢得了知名度，2011年迪斯尼在南美地区筹拍儿童家庭喜剧《超级冒失鬼》，陈敏成为该剧第二主角。该片后来还获得阿根廷马丁·费耶罗2012年最佳儿童节目类大奖。一些忠实的小剧谜经常通过脸书、推特关注陈敏武术俱乐部的最新动向，而陈敏也通过社交网络积极地推广自己的武术文化。
There are many this kind of martial arts training institutions in Buenos Aires.
In 2011, Disney made a children's family comedy “Super Dared Ghost” in South America. Chen Min became the second protagonist of the play becuase of her teaching. The film was later awarded the best children's program category in 2012 by Martin Feyello of Argentina. Some loyal drama riddles often follow the latest trends of Chen Min Wushu Club through Facebook and Twitter. Chen Min also actively promotes her martial arts culture through social networks.
“功夫”一词，在中华文化的背景中泛指修身精神或技巧体现在人身上的境界，包括武功。而如今“功夫”在国外大多专指武功。但中国功夫不是电影上华丽的拳脚与特技。真正的中国武术，发于防身，立于健身，搏于赛场，习于日常，载于武艺，归于武德。拥有力量却不用来战胜别人，而只是以武会友，互通有无。从不炫耀武力，只是坚守着心中仁义礼智信勇的情操。中国的武术，中国的武者正是以一种独特的方式在异国他乡诠释着中国的文化，传承着中国人自强不息，厚德载物的精神和勤奋刻苦、天人合一的深层内涵。
The term “Kung Fu” refers to the realm of self-cultivation spirit or technique embodied in the realm of people in the context of Chinese culture, including martial arts.
Chinese Kung Fu is not a gorgeous punch and stunt in the movie. The real Chinese martial arts is developed in self-defense, standing in fitness, battling in the arena, learning in daily life, being contained in martial arts, and being attributed to morality. Chinese martial arts is a unique way to interpret China's culture in a foreign country. It inherits the Chinese people's spirit of self-improvement, dedication and diligence, and the deep connotation of unity between man and nature。
中国武术协会和王予诺导演正在联合拍摄新的宣传片，这部新的国家文化宣传片会被制作成西语等30多种语言的版本。民间人士的努力、官方的关注推动，致力于让全世界看懂中国，理解中国。巴夏，和他的朋友们也期待能看到不再神秘的，真实的中国功夫。
The Chinese Martial Arts Association and the director Wang Yunuo are jointly shooting new promotional videos. The new national cultural film will be produced in more than 30 languages including Spanish. Basia and his friends is looking forward to seeing the real Chinese Kung Fu, so do the rest of the world.
