Over two years (1956-1958) – Nikolai Klindukhov trained 23 sculptors in China, including Zhao Shutong, Shen Wenqiang, Gao Xiulan, Yang Meiying, Fu Tianqiu, Su Hui, Ling Chunde, Shi Yi, Ma Gaihu, and Yu Jinyuan. Afterwards, the students traveled across the country to engage in teaching Soviet-style academic sculpture – spreading to many art schools across the country – becoming an important part of the formation of the sculpture education system throughout New China.
Well, as I grew-up practicing martial arts, I became adept at deliberately clashing with Neo-Nazis and fascists – giving them a good beating that broke their noses, teeth and hearts. The few bruises I received in return were worth cost. I enjoy fighting and am a member of the far-left (I have also been a Buddhist monk). I believe in militant peace where the balance of nature is retained through inner and outer discipline. Most far-right thugs I have encountered are riddled with fear – even those who train in boxing or whatever. Get past the surface bluster and they crap themselves. Those on the left must practice martial arts for self-defence and continue the grand tradition of the “Red Army”. We must defend ourselves and one another from far-right violence. To be clear, I do not agree with – or advocate – violence. However, just as long as violence exists within society that targets “us” – we must be prepared to defend ourselves from it. Our minds must be “still” and “quiet” whilst our bodies must be “fit” and “strong”. We must psychologically undermine the far-right so that its physicality is merely a “husk” that can be smashed and pushed aside. We must inwardly defeat the far-right before we are able to decively defeat it outwardly.
