Book Signing event


July 30, 2006 was the big date for me, I had my first book, Joy of Wushu book signing event at Border, Santana Row in San Jose. It was a lot of fun!

The event kicked off by Lily’s speech, she was telling the stories about how she got inspired by a Chinese Wushu demonstrations and why it was such a joy to work on this project. I also said few words on how Wushu changes my perspectives on my own culture. Afterward, many of people from the book demonstrated Wushu and kung fu, and it was a big hit!! Check out some of the pictures, see with you own eyes! (Pictures from the event)

Nice seeing so many people who featured in the book came to the event and perform, like Jack Tu, Tiffany Ryes, Collin Lee and so forth. They were fantastic! I especially excited that Cheri and Jennifer Haight from Cirque du Soleil signed my KA program. They both are so sweet. If you go to Vegas, you have to see the show, it was beyond amazing!

I was very touched by my father-in-law, Ron. He flew all the way from LA to attend this event. Also so many my friends came to the event as well, seriously it means a lot to me. Thank you guys!

I am glad I worked on this book project; this project has giving me this wonderful opportunity to showcase one of the most important aspect of Asian Culture. I hope this project will raise the awareness of Chinese marital arts in the America, it makes this project worth while.
