Jimmy Fong enjoys teaching martial arts in his Cai Li Fo Boxing Hall in the Huadu district of Guangzhou, Guangdong province.

The 34-year-old Macao resident said that as a Chinese person, he would like to return to the mainland to develop Cai Li Fo boxing and spread Chinese culture.

Cai Li Fo is commonly known as Choy Lee Fut kung fu in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions.

"I hope to be able to further expand the boxing hall and construct more training venues and dormitories to recruit more students to pass the style on to more young people in the years to come," he said.

Fong said he believed he would achieve the goal, as local government and villagers support his efforts. Currently, his hall has two classes, with 40 to 50 students each.
