 Wu Xiubao Biography - Center for Taiji Studies
Wu Xiubao quickly developed a deep respect for Chen Zhaokui's martial ability, frequently commenting in our interview that Chen Zhaokui's skill was so high that when he threw an opponent his movement was so small and refined that it was often not possible to see what technique or movement he had performed.
This was a time of political unrest in China, and the younger generation in the Chen Village was segregated from and unable to study with Chen Zhaokui, who by then was considered by many to be one of the greatest living practitioners of the 18th-generation of the Chen family.
Ultimately, at the request of younger generation practitioners, Wu Xiubao was instrumental in persuading Chen Zhaokui to return to the Chen Village and teach, obviously a pivotal occurrence in the transmission of the Chen style Taijiquan.

 Small Change: Alice Wu's "Saving Face"
Wu's desire for a more inclusive world -- fl and white and Asian, gay and straight, young and old -- admirable though it may be, is mired down in the awkwardness so common to virginal directorial attempts.
That the admittedly semi-autobiographical debut marks Wu's personal coming out to her Chinese-American community makes the movie somewhat liberating; but this extratextual knowledge aside, "Saving Face" does little to promote more dimensional depictions of minorities in the strikingly non-melting pot of Hollywood.
Rather than seeking to compensate for years of absence with a grand gesture, Wu sidesteps hyperbole by paring her movie down to the level of lived experience.
