Ever since Chinese martial arts TV series arrived in Vietnam in the 1980s, they have garnered a large multi-generational audience. From Wong Fei-hung to Ip Man, these figures have inspired countless local fans to take up martial arts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, not many of them have the guts to show off their skills in public, let alone performing <\/span>kung fu<\/span><\/em> in front of law enforcers. At long last, someone came along, and that was a lady.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After being captured making a <\/span>shadowless kick<\/span><\/em> in front of a Covid-19 police officer, she went viral and was dubbed \u2018<\/span>Wong Fei-hung<\/b>\u2019 by local netizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the lady\u2019s display of kung fu<\/em> transpired.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the video, a woman was seen emerging from a cab at a Covid-19 security booth.<\/span><\/p>\n

She kicked off her slingbacks and started performing agile martial arts footwork.<\/span><\/p>\n

The police officer asked her to stop playing around, but she refused to cooperate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A few minutes later, she took her show up a notch by grabbing a stick and performing nunchucks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The passionate martial artist even knocked her stick on a truck nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n

A woman standing close to her, who seemed to be her companion, was busy explaining to the police officer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, she continued unleashing her \u2018Wong Fei-hung\u2019 spirit as other commuters stuck in the waiting line feasted their eyes on such a rare public performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, life is not like a movie and consequences are not scripted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without a second take, the martial arts lover was arrested shortly after that.<\/span><\/p>\n

TikTok user Phong Nguy\u1ec5nn<\/a> left a funny pun, \u201cShe mastered both Hung Ga Fist<\/em> and Drunken Fist<\/em>, and yet she couldn\u2019t block the authorities’ iron fist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jinrong fan C\u1ee5c Ki\u1ec3m So\u00e1t Ch\u00ednh T\u1ea3 TIKTOK<\/a> went a little overboard with a flippant remark, \u201cI recognize her. She\u2019s the 6th successor of Emei Sect and disciple of Zhou Zhiruo in Jinrong\u2019s The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber<\/em>. I saw her selling fish at a wet market.\u201d<\/p>\n

She even pointed her finger to the sky, shouting, \u201cBy the power vested in me and the Most High, I come to save my nation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Ph\u00e1p Lu\u1eadt B\u1ea1n \u0110\u1ecdc<\/a><\/em><\/span>, the lady was en route to Hanoi from Phu Tho when she was stopped at a Covid-19 security booth for inspection.\u00a0 <\/span>It remains unknown whether the lady was affected by a mental illness at the time of her arrest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Respond with understanding and compassion<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

At the end of the day, it\u2019s sad to see people being tied up and taken to a police station.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the lady did what she did because she has a mental illness, we hope that netizens can respond to her unusual behavior with understanding and compassion.<\/span><\/p>\n
