newspaper L’Humanité runs a feature on Shenzhen dance drama "Wing Chun" this Wednesday.
On Wednesday local time, the Shenzhen dance drama "Wing Chun" made an appearance on page eight of the esteemed French newspaper L'Humanité, once again capturing the world's attention.
當地時間8月7日，深圳原創舞劇《詠春》在法國《人道報》第八版精彩亮相，再次吸引了世界的目光。
With its European tour set to begin at the end of this month, "Wing Chun" is poised to delight French audiences with four performances at the Palais des congrès de Paris from Oct. 4 to 6, offering a deep dive into the rich tapestry of Chinese culture.
據悉，這部風靡業界的舞劇即將於今年8月開啟歐洲巡演，其中10月4日至6日，將在法國巴黎會議宮連演四場，讓更多歐洲觀眾感受中國文化的魅力。
The article described "Wing Chun" as an exceptional show created in Shenzhen, a global capital of innovation, which has been performed nearly 200 times across the globe.
該報以《詠春：中國功夫力量融合絲綢之柔》（Le Chant du Printemps: alliance de la force du Kung-Fu chinois et de la légèreté de la soie）為題，介紹了《詠春》是一部在深圳這座創新之都孕育而成的舞劇，已在國內外演出近200場。
The dance drama skillfully merges the kung fu styles of Wing Chun, Mantis Fist, Baguazhang, Baji Fist, and Tai Chi with both classical and modern dance forms. Xiangyunsha fabric (gambiered Canton gauze) is not only featured in the characters' costumes, but its manufacturing process is also artfully woven into the narrative. The martial arts' "hardness" and the fabric's "softness" form a harmonious blend, according to the report.
報道稱，舞劇《詠春》將詠春拳、螳螂拳、八卦掌、八極拳和太極拳五大功夫門派中的武學招式與古典舞、現代舞融為一體。劇中，香雲紗這一傳統面料不僅用於角色服裝，其製作過程也在劇情中得到了藝術化的呈現。武術的「剛」與香雲紗的「柔」完美結合。"The show captivated all spectators, conveying the gentle Chinese temperament, deep sense of justice, and helping the weak," it pointed out.法國《人道報》的報道還特別指出，「這個節目贏得了所有觀眾的喜愛，傳遞出中國人的溫良恭儉讓的美德和鋤強扶弱的精神。」

Since its founding in Paris in 1904, L'Humanité has been a influential voice in France, particularly in Paris. It boasts a stable circulation of 200,000, with 50,000 subscribers. The Fête de l'Humanité, initiated in 1930 by the French newspaper, draws hundreds of thousands of French attendees each year for a variety of exhibitions, concerts, debates, shows, and film screenings. Chinese delegations from various provinces and cities have been invited to participate, fostering a tradition of friendly Sino-French cultural exchanges.

It is expected that the coverage of "Wing Chun" in L'Humanité will not only enrich the cultural ambiance of the Paris Olympics, but also foster a deeper appreciation and love for Chinese culture among the French public.
此次《詠春》在《人道報》的亮相，不僅為巴黎奧運會增添了濃厚的中國文化氛圍，也讓更多法國民眾了解和喜愛中國文化。
