    What comes to mind when you think of kung fu? If your mind is filled with images of Shaolin monks (僧侣), Bruce Lee, or Kung Fu Panda, you wouldn't be wrong. But for Alex Brown, an American filmmaker, the first thing is non-violence (非暴力), "Kung fu also means wushu in Chinese. Wu means zhige (止戈) in Chinese, so the real meaning of kung fu is the art of stopping fighting."

    Brown decided to make searching for kung fu long ago. It was not from three-minute passion (热情).

    In the 1970s, he was a karate (空手道) student in Hawaii. "My teacher always told me that if I want to fully understand karate, I have to go to the Shaolin Temple in China. That's where the origin is." Brown said. So Brown dreamed of going to the Shaolin Temple in China and learning about kung fu.

    In 1981, Brown visited the Shaolin Temple for the first time.

    "I practiced many different kinds of Chinese kung fu for over 40 years," Brown said. The movie comes from his passion, understanding and discoveries.

    The thought of making a film about kung fu stayed in Brown's mind for years. Last year, he found a producer (制片人), and the dream finally came true.
