外媒看中国：94岁功夫奶奶镇守小镇无人敢犯

Zhang Hexian, 94, has been protecting the members of her village and fighting injustice for decades and has recently become a star on Chinese social media.

张合仙（音译）现年94岁，她保护家乡村民、维护公平正义已经好几十年了。近日成为中国社交媒体上的明星。

After photos and videos of the “Kung Fu Granny” practicing her craft surfaced on the Internet, stereotypes of inactive old women took a punch.

展现张奶奶功夫绝技的“功夫奶奶”的照片和视频一经流出，颠覆了印象中老态龙钟的妇人形象。

Kung Fu keeps Zhang in good health and in tip-top shape. According to her son, Feng Chuanyin, she has never been to the hospital – and never takes vitamins or supplements.

每天习武让张奶奶身体健康，头脑灵活。据他的儿子封传尹（音译）说母亲从来没有去过医院，也不吃维生素或者是其他补品。

Zhang began learning Kung Fu from her father at the age of 4 and has not stopped practicing her skills. She has even become quite the teacher herself, according to her students in Zhejiang Province who called her “wing-footed.”

她四岁师从父亲习武，从未间断。一位学生号称她“飞毛腿”来自浙江省，说老师后来甚至无师自通。

Zhang’s practice has even helped save her life. According to Xinhua News, Zhang encountered three robbers on a mountain and challenged them, asking, “Dare you come and fight me?” Before they could respond, two robbers felt the wrath of the Kung Fu Granny and were immediately taken down. The third reportedly escaped knowing he would not stand a chance.
