Who is Lipeng from American Shaolin: Flying Kicks, Buddhist Monks, and the Legend of Iron Crotch: An Odyssey in the New China and what is their importance? | English & Literature Questions & Answers

Lipeng is one of the monks at the Shaolin Wushu Center. He is very skilled, and is an expert in Ditang Quan (Floor Boxing). He is a crowd pleaser as his kung fu looks extremely impressive. When he was younger he could perform a handstand with only two fingers, but now he is too old and his bones are too heavy to be able to support himself in this way. A picture of him doing the two-fingered handstand has been circulated in the media, however, which attracts some people to the temple wanting to learn how to do this.
