Fourteen-year-old Govin Quinebulani may not be fighting "tooth-and-nail" to realize her dreams, but fighting she certainly is.
Since the age of 3, Govin has been practicing the traditional Chinese martial arts or wushu. For as long as she can remember, she has attended tournaments and dreamed of competing for the Indonesian national team.
Also known as kung fu, wushu is a graceful and expressive set of movements akin to floor gymnastics. Highly photogenic, the sport came to the world's attention during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Wushu is often performed with swords or staffs, and completely unlike the version widely seen in action movies. But it is also a full-contact sport, highly reminiscent of big screen fight scenes, with strictly no biting or scratching allowed.

Celebrated 15 days after the Spring Equinox, this holiday tends to fall somewhere in early April. This year, Qingming is today.
During this time, families who practise ancestral worship gather at the graves of loved ones, keeping them neat and tidy before leaving offerings to the deceased.
The origins of Qingming can be traced back to the Hanshi, or Cold Food, Festival, which commemorated the deeds of one Jie Zitui, a Jin nobleman from the 7th century under the Zhou dynasty.
The traditions of that festival – which is rarely celebrated although still observable in China, Vietnam and South Korea – ended up being conflated with those of Qingming.
The significance of Qingming to the Chinese community
It is indeed a holiday of importance, when families gather at ancestral tombs to pay their respects to loved ones.
