Kan, a "post-90s" girl, was a gold medalist in women's martial arts at the 2010 and 2017 Asian Games. "Before the 4th Gansu University Students' Games, all the athletes are amateurs. And their ability to train hard and surpass themselves is a great achievement," Kan said.

Besides Dan, seven students of different majors at Lanzhou University are preparing for the Games. "The origin of traditional Chinese martial arts comes from traditional Chinese culture. It can strengthen the body, and it can make people understand the changes and possibilities of everything," said Li Shaocheng, professor of Physical Education and martial arts coach from Lanzhou.

The boom in traditional Chinese martial arts at universities tallies with China's continuous promotion of public fitness activities.

A 2018 report by China's General Administration of Sport showed that by the end of 2017, the country had two million social sports instructors and 100 million people participating in fitness activities every year.

"Rome was not built in a day. Practice makes perfect and I will try my best to get good results in the upcoming Games," Dan said.
