Why Wing Chun? Why Shenzhen?
Password 1: Rooted in Lingnan culture to create a model of "double creation".
Contemporary China is full of magnificent mountains and rivers, heroic feelings and a great future.
**At the symposium on cultural inheritance and development, the general secretary emphasized that Chinese culture has a long history and Chinese civilization is broad and profound. Only by having a comprehensive understanding of the history of Chinese civilization can we more effectively promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, more effectively promote the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
The dance drama "Wing Chun" is produced by the Propaganda Department of the Shenzhen Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports, created and rehearsed by the Shenzhen Opera and Dance Theater, and is jointly funded by the 2022 National Arts**, Guangdong Provincial Literary and Artistic Boutique (Literary and Artistic Talents) Special Support Fund and Shenzhen Publicity and Culture**.
"Wing Chun" is the concrete embodiment and vivid epitome of Shenzhen's in-depth implementation of first-class cultural ideas and earnestly undertaking the new cultural mission of the new era, and it is a powerful action of Shenzhen to explore new experiences for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
The dance drama "Wing Chun" was born in the pluralistic and open city of Shenzhen, showing the tendency of today's literary and artistic creators to be more innovative, relaxed, soft and diverse. This is a great progress in the concept of Chinese dance drama creation, and it is a self-confident and conscious creative expression of contemporary Chinese culture.
Xu Rui, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and vice president of Beijing Dance Academy.
In the play, the hot-blooded Wing Chun, the full and affectionate Xiangyun yarn, the layers of wok ear towers, and the 72 tenants full of fireworks and other elements with Lingnan style have aroused strong empathy and empathy from audiences around the world during the tour.

Wing Chun and Xiangyun Sha are both national intangible cultural heritage items, which are good excavation points, highlighting the characteristics of Lingnan culture, and the most important thing is to have courage and ability.
Jin Hao, a researcher at the Dance Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Arts.
Shenzhen's rich real-life texture has laid a solid foundation for the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture, and for telling the stories of Guangdong, the Greater Bay Area and China in the new era.
Rooted in Lingnan culture, it creates a model of "entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship", and "deep-rooted" creation arouses empathy and resonance. There is no doubt that this is the fundamental reason why "Wing Chun" can achieve "a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, and an innovative chapter in the circle and overseas".
Password 2: Shine a light on the humanity of ordinary people.
The most touching in the ordinary, everyone who has watched "Wing Chun" has a feeling of being able to see their own figure.
Why? Because "Wing Chun" is a masterpiece that pays tribute to ordinary people, builds an "ordinary world" in the new era, and praises the glory of ordinary people's humanity.

Wing Chun unfolds with a two-line narrative. One line is about Ip Man's dream of carrying forward Wing Chun in Hong Kong; The other line is about the experience of a Shenzhen crew filming the movie "Wing Chun", and the film crew struggled on the set of the film with the dream of carrying forward Ip Man's deeds.
The road to chasing dreams was not all smooth sailing, Ip Man and the crew both encountered specific problems in their respective time and space, faced various difficulties, and hesitated for a while. However, they all insisted on their dreams, did not give up easily, and went all out to defeat the various "little monsters" in front of them, and finally turned their dreams into reality.
When "Yip **" stepped into the martial arts street with the plaque of "Wing Chun Tong" in his arms, it was just to open a door to Wing Chun; Spanning nearly half a century of time and space, there are also people who go to the mountains and seas with dreams, just to pursue the light in their hearts!
The people of the two eras walked in the opposite direction, echoed and resonated with each other, and finally converged on the stage and merged into one. They are gathered by "heroes", unfolded by "light chasers", and finally settled on "ideals", which is in line with the urban spirit of Shenzhen.

Everyone has a martial arts in their hearts, a few people become heroes, and most people become the light that illuminates heroes. When countless faint lights are lit, we will find that these lights are shaped by countless ordinary people.
**The general secretary said that good days are all based on struggle. In fact, each and every one of us is not a hero!
In Wing Chun", the image of "Chinese heroes" represented by Guangdong martial arts masters was created, and the spirit of martial arts and virtue of "helping the weak and helping the weak with martial arts" was used to unite people's hearts and promote national self-confidence; It also pays tribute to the creation, struggle, unity and dreams of every ordinary person under the inspiration of the "heroic spirit"!
The heroic spirit in traditional Chinese culture is deeply connected with the people and the earth. The "bridging" in Wing Chun is actually a reflection of traditional Chinese wisdom – communication rather than severance, communication rather than hostility, and win-win rather than zero-sum game.
More than 40 years ago, the footsteps of China's reform and opening up, it was the people of Shenzhen who told a 'story of spring', and entered a new era, and the cultural people of Shenzhen, with the spirit of self-improvement, wrote "Wing Chun" on the Chinese stage, which reached a harmonious synchronization in economy and culture.
Song Guanlin, director of the National Art ** and vice chairman of the Chinese Cultural Management Association.
The dance drama "Wing Chun" is a cultural testimony of the blood thicker than water in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, showing the beautiful scene of Shenzhen and Hong Kong jointly opening a new situation and jointly building a humanistic Bay Area.
Kevin Yeung, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Looking back on the past year, the situation facing China's development is complex, with an increase in unfavorable factors in the international political and economic environment, and the superposition of domestic cyclical and structural contradictions. Some enterprises are facing operational pressure, and some people are encountering difficulties in employment and life.
These, ** are all concerned. The party and the people are working together, working together, and struggling together, people from all walks of life are sweating, and every ordinary person has made extraordinary contributions.
Excellent literary and artistic works can enhance the spiritual strength of the people, gather people's hearts, warm the hearts of the people, and strengthen confidence.
"Wing Chun" makes us firmly believe that as long as we adhere to the same path and do not change, we all face difficulties, dare to fight, work hard, and overcome difficulties, we will definitely be able to gather the torrent of China's high-spirited progress in the new era, make the blueprint a beautiful reality, and make the days more prosperous.

"Made in Shenzhen" literary and artistic boutique creation has its own unique model, the first non-governmental cooperation, mainstream values and the operation mechanism of the enterprise to find a combination point. When human resources and cultural capital from all over the world are absorbed into Shenzhen, through the effective guidance and active promotion of the government, it provides a surging impetus for the creation of Shenzhen's literary and artistic masterpieces.
Cultural scholar Hua Jian.
Following the framework of Guangdong's literary and artistic development, Shenzhen continues to carry out foreign cultural exchanges and cooperation, increases the support for literary and artistic masterpieces, and innovates and forms a literary and artistic work creation mechanism and promotion mechanism of "first-class guarantee of social capital and cultural enterprise".
In addition, we will deepen the reform of art troupes, implement the "Famous Literary and Artistic Artists" plan, and introduce top talents through the "project system" operation. The birth of "Wing Chun" was completed by the top artistic creation lineup in China and the Shenzhen Opera and Dance Theater, which has only been established for 5 years and has an average of 24 years old.
The footsteps of "spring" do not stop, and the "dance martial arts" is more and more peaking.
Today, Shenzhen has formed such a consensus on literary and artistic creation: take root in the hot land of Shenzhen's first demonstration, promote cultural self-confidence and self-improvement, focus on the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and devote itself to creating literary and artistic masterpieces that can be spread and shouted throughout the country and even the world, and constantly set a new benchmark for culture and art, so that "produced in Shenzhen" not only has the "energy" of inspiring spirit, but also has the "flow" that the people love and are willing to praise.
The creation of Shenzhen's literary and artistic masterpieces, represented by the dance drama "Wing Chun", has successfully achieved a "breakthrough" on the stage at home and abroad, which is a microcosm of China's literary and artistic masterpieces, and the path of China's excellent traditional culture to the world is getting wider and wider in the practice of inheritance and innovation.
