Cute kids? Well, they can kick you a**. These young kids are masters of Shaolin Kungfu, one of the oldest forms of Chinese martial arts. At around four years old, many are sent to the temple to start their training. We visited the place in central China’s Henan province to see what a day is like for them.

@@Teknobie Why do boys in boarding schools call or write to their family? It’s apparent that there’s rule in implementation and you won’t see them 24/7 in the school. Maybe the highly disciplined atmosphere in Shaolin sounds like a nightmare to you who may be cultivated in the west, but we don’t think like that at all. I’d admit I dreamed about growing up in Shaolin and becoming a master of martial art and parents couldn’t agree with me especially they thought I was girl.

the reason that the shaolin temples mostly only accept young children is because they do not know how the world functions; they have no standards, so it'd be normal for them, and that they would not have any mental issues to begin with, and hopefully never do even if they leave the temple.

"Young Masters Overcoming Pain" Young masters, bold and strong, Faces lit with fire and song, They rise above the pain, Defying all the strain. With hearts of steel, they take the lead, Their spirits never crushed or meek, They stand tall, they don't back down, Their will to win, a powerful crown. For they know that pain is just a test, A challenge that they must invest, They push through, they don't give in, For they are masters of their own kin. And when they've overcome their strife, They bask in their hard-won life, Their journey, though it may be rough, Has made them stronger, that's enough. So here's to young masters everywhere, Who rise above and show they care, For they inspire us all to be, The best we can, as we break free!

The US media and films played a major role in both supporting as well as criticising the war. Hollywood made films in support of the war, such as John Wayne's Green Belts (1968). This has been cited by many as an example of an unthinking propaganda film that was responsible for motivating many young men to die in the war. Other films were more critical as they tried to understand the reasons for this war. John Ford Coppola 's (1979) reflected the moral confusion that the war had caused in the US. 👍👍👍👍👍
