Revive the Scales: Meeting China’s Young Buhurt Enthusiasts
Chinese armor is quietly making a comeback — the kind you may have seen at the Terracotta Warrior exhibition or in the hit video game Black Myth: Wukong. In Beijing, we follow a group of young enthusiasts wearing head-to-toe armor that weighs 30 kilograms, clashing steel on steel in buhurt tournaments, chasing a battle cry they describe as, quote: “written in the gene.” Get a glimpse of the training base of the Beijing Shanhe team in this episode, and see how the warrior spirit of ancient soldiers is being revived among today’s youth.
