The Chinese Wushu (martial arts) and Za-Ji (acrobatics) shows organised by Ms-L have received many excellent media reviews, some of which are posted on this website. The positive comments about Wushu suggests that Chinese martial arts have been widely accepted into British culture.

The Za-Ji show received mixed reviews, some of which were outrageously harsh for a debut performance. However, one thing is certain, the show gave the London media plenty to write about. The impact on the troupe was positive as the constructive criticism by the West End critics was used to further improve the show.

It was pleasing, however, that audiences of all ages were extremely enthusiastic about Za-Ji, with many people returning to watch the London shows twice. More than 200 people booked to join a trip to visit the acrobatic company in China following the show.

"When I first moved to the UK, I couldn't understand why British families loved watching basic circus acts and coarse pantomimes year after year. That's why I decided to introduce Chinese Za-Ji to the UK." said Liu Li.

Whereas Western theatre was introduced from ancient Greece back in 330BC, grand theatrical productions are relative newcomers to China. The status of ancient Chinese actors was little better than a prostitute and Chinese art suffered devastating damage during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and '70s.

Following the nation's economic success, there is no doubt that the rich and unique Chinese art forms are destined to leap from a hidden or crouching position to make an impression on the theatre and film world.
