Kung fu master from Cameroon wants Chinese culture to 'light up' lives

YAOUNDE — Fabrice Mba's passion for Chinese culture and martial arts budded in the southern Cameroon town of Sangmelima, where he grew up watching kung fu movies.

His elder brother was a projectionist and as a youngster, Mba often helped him sweep the theater.

For the first time, he saw Shaolin monks on the screen. "I discovered kung fu and Chinese culture. It spoke a lot to me."
