Thanks for posting, very interesting interview, did not know that she was a student of Feng Zhiqiang during the same period as Chen Zhonghua, nor that she was Zhang Ziyi's bagua coach for Wong Kar-wai's film The Grandmaster!

Although I personally am not a big fan of her taiji / xingyi (too wushu-y), one cannot deny that she has put her whole life into martial arts, and has trained harder than most people ever will, she deserves respect for that if nothing else.

Also the section about how impoverished a lot of the old masters (Lei Muni, Hong Junsheng) were and how she tried to help them out was very moving.
