Wu Di is dead, but Dillion Wu lives on.

It was almost year ago when Wu Di left for the Wushu World Championships, returned with a gold medal and then promptly retired from the sport and the Beijing team. Shortly thereafter, I caught up with the national hero (what, no parade?) and we had one last photo shoot at the team's top secret training facility. As always, security was tight (what, no bag search?), but I managed to sneak in due to my ability to easily blend with the local culture.

Anyway, Wu Di's last request was that I post a few of the photos. Naturally, I didn't. So, in honor of the memory of Wu Di, here they are.








Rest in peace Wu Di.



Long live Dillion Wu.
