What Is So Special About The Dance Drama Wing Chun (詠春) As An Art Furore ? Will The Competition From Shenzhen Force Hong Kong To Do Our Cultural Best?
In the Western world, martial art is the art of motion. For the Chinese, martial art is more than that. It is a master’s philosophy and use of his body to accomplish visual art result.
Success is no accident. Many in the art world just want to follow success and not create it. Great stage works never come from comfort zones. The real risk facing the performing art circles in Hong Kong is the lack of enough top-notch breakthroughs and talented persons, apart from the usual problem: insufficient financial resources to make a big dream possible.
The world has changed. Home cinema, home video game and home audio are the kinds of ‘home entertainment’, because of their instantly accessible enjoyment, are replacing the traditional places like theatres, movie houses and concert halls. Determining what play or dance to go to watch in a theatre can be exorbitant these days, especially when you have to take into account travelling expenses, parking and dinner, apart from the expensive tickets. Making the overall trip ‘worth it’ obviously favours the large budget stage productions these days.  
For the above reasons, the new dance drama Wing Chun (詠春), produced by the young city of Shenzhen (深圳) in China, has been extremely popular in the country for more than a year since 2023. The show went to Asian cities. Some said, “What a grand show! Almost 80 dancers perform on stage!” Some said, “The electrifying movements and gravity-defying choreography performed by the dancers create a visual spectacle that keeps us glued to the stage!” Some said, “The variety of striking scenes is another thing that makes me excited. Nobody performs ordinarily!” Some said, “The dancers, male or female, are good-looking, powerful and extremely stunning! They express their performing passion glamorously!” 
The story of Ip Man (葉問) who created the famous martial art of Wing Chun (詠春) is well-known among the Chinese. Ip man was born in 1893 and died in 1972. He developed the great martial art of Wing Chun when he was 20. He had a famous legendary student Bruce Lee (李小龍). After the Second World War, Ip left Foshan (佛山) for Hong Kong. The dance performance was chiefly about how he was struggling for a living in Hong Kong, bullied by the gangsters, training his students, sparring with other martial art masters and deserted by his loved wife. His life has an unbroken line of unusual events and emotions, resulting in a successful and yet regretful life.
The production is high-quality but a bit expected. It is said that the investment was fuelled by the Shenzhen government. The stage design, lighting, audiovisual engineering, music and costumes offer their best, though the show are somehow not good enough if it wants to be at the top of other top dances. The truly excellent ones in this case are the dancers. The physically captivating dancers have no stuntman. I can feel that they sometimes risk their bodies to complete dangerous movements. These marvellous performers make the show absurdly beautiful because it is the most rigorous job for a dancer to be equally capable of the best martial art skills at the same time.  
The southern island of Baoan (寶安) County became the British Hong Kong after the Opium Wars more than 100 years ago, while the primitive small village of Shenzhen was ignored on the border. In 1979, Shenzhen was suddenly made an Economic Zone for the ambitious economic developments of China. After about 40 years, the young au courant city managed to produce this art show that shocks the Asian art world. Hong Kong has a much longer cultural history and up to now, there has been no such comparable achievement. We should feel downcast by the scale of the threat that we see from this pioneering city neighbour.
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong announced in 2023 that Hong Kong, with the government’s help, will be able to produce big stage shows for large-scale long runs or re-runs. The ‘Signature Performing Arts Programme’ will provide a subsidy of up to Hong Kong $10 million, a matching funding of up to $5 million to match private sector funding and venue support so that these Hong Kong performances can become world-class art productions and the international cultural brand that can represent Hong Kong. This is surely a piece of exciting news. But, the local performing art sectors are too used to government’s money as their major source of funding. How to make profits is right now a big lesson for the local art groups to learn. Money can be a good reason for success. They must realize that there are 10,000 ways that make things not work. Complacency, inertia and lack of business sense are the imminent hurdles that they must overcome. 
We all do better when we can gather the most talented people from a larger pool to work together. The population of Hong Kong is just about 7 million. That of Chinese mainland is around 1.41 billion. A top-class performing art team must be made of many gifted artists, from front and back stage. It is almost a necessity that in order to accomplish the ‘signature stage projects’ of Hong Kong, we cannot work alone or simply let a few big stage groups determine the scene. Joint productions of Hong Kong and Chinese mainland will be the sensible path, and I am sure we can find and manage a right path. It is going to take some time, though. Flexibility is the art of creating way outs within the cul-de-sac, as a Turkish playwright pointed out.

Troubleshooting DSTV Error E48-32: Quick Fixes for Optimal Viewing
Tumblr media
Encountering with the E48-32 “No Signal” error on your DStv can be exceedingly frustrating and annoying. If you’ve exhausted all troubleshooting options and are still experiencing error e48-32 issues, it’s time to seek professional assistance from Capesat Dstv Installers immediately. They can resolve the error e48-32 in no time and restore your DStv service to optimal functioning.
They aims to demystify the issue, providing an easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach to resolving this common problem. Understanding the underlying causes and applying effective solutions will enable you to successfully address the issue of signal loss. Let’s see how they troubleshoot the thing and improve the quality and strength of your DStv signal.
What to Do When Your DStv Displays "No Signal"
To resolve your DStv signal issues, start by identifying the exact problem. You don't need technical expertise for this observation. Check the signal parameters on your DStv as it helps you quickly identify the issue. If your DStv reports no signal, it could be due to several issues such as a misaligned dish, a faulty LNB, loose cables, or incorrect decoder settings. Often, these problems are simpler to fix than they appear.  To resolve a DStv no signal error, please adhere to the following guidelines:
Check the Cables
Start by examining all the DStv cables behind your decoder. Ensure every F-type connection is secure. Make sure all wires are connected to the correct decoder ports. Pets can sometimes pull out cables, so check for any loose connections and reconnect them. If you're unsure how to connect them, contact Capesat Dstv Installers.
Restart Your Decoder:
Restarting your decoder can address a variety of problems, such as frozen images and decoder malfunctions. To initiate a reboot, press and hold the power button for at least ten seconds. Please be patient, as this procedure may require some time to complete.
Check the Satellite Dish Position
Visually check your satellite dish for corrosion or damaged arms. Ensure the bolts are tight to prevent the dish from moving out of alignment due to strong winds. If the dish can move freely, realign it and tighten the bolts.
Examine the LNB
Verify that the F-connectors on the LNB are tightly fastened and devoid of any rust. If the LNB is faulty, it may need to be replaced. Proper alignment of the LNB is also crucial.
A problem with the DStv installation has resulted in your DStv displaying no signal. This issue may stem from several factors. It may be improper dish alignment, a malfunctioning LNB, an incorrectly connected F-connector plug, loose cables, or an incorrect decoder setting associated with a specific type of LNB. With little knowledge, you can resolve incorrect decoder settings by restoring your decoder to its factory defaults.
The situation is often less complex than it appears at first glance. Therefore, it is advisable to follow the straightforward recommendations before reaching out to a certified DStv installer, which could incur significant costs. It is also important to be cautious, as some installers may not act in your best interest. They may take advantage of the situation and charge more.
Contact a Professional
These steps can help you regain your DStv signal, saving you time and money. Be cautious of dishonest installers who may try to take advantage of the situation. If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it may be time to contact a certified DStv installer like Capesat Dstv Installers in Port Elizabeth. They can perform advanced diagnostics to identify and fix the problem. They are committed to offering reliable and professional DStv services, ensuring you enjoy uninterrupted viewing. Their trusted specialists are available to provide unparalleled customer service. You can rely on Capesat Dstv Installers for seamless DStv service and the best in-home entertainment.
