Kung fu girl group puts fresh spin on ancient Chinese art

This photo taken on February 21, 2025 shows Duan Ruru (L), a founding member of the Emei Kung Fu Girls, and Liu Qiao demonstrating their martial art movements at the Zhongfei temple in Emeishan, China's southwestern Sichuan province.

That is now changing thanks to a group of women from Generation Z, who mesh skilful swordwork with social media smarts to help put the sect back on the map. - To go with 'CHINA-WOMEN-KUNG FU, FOCUS' by Mary YANG (Photo by Adek BERRY / AFP) / To go with 'CHINA-WOMEN-KUNG FU, FOCUS' by Mary YANG

For half a century, the existence of this masterpiece designed by modernist architect Marcel Breuer, has been mainly known to the Benedictine monks who worship there, and the hordes of architects who make pilgrimages to Saint John's Abbey Church each summer. But these days, it is finding new fame as the basis for "The Brutalist," the epic drama about an immigrant architect, haunted by the Holocaust, that is a favorite to win best picture at the Oscars.
