Project narrative
Between 2001 and 2003, the Chinese Embassy in Peru facilitated a grant of two Dragon heads to the Peruvian Sports Federation of Kung Fu Wushu in order to promote the practice of the Mou Schi dance. The handover ceremony took place at the National Stadium.
Staff comments
Estimate for the time of the donation is based on the tenure of Eduardo Schiantarelli Sormani (2001-2003) as head of the Peruvian Institute of Sports, who attended the handover ceremony for the grant (see "Reseña Histórica"). Articles published by the Chinese Embassy in Peru website on 6/15/2004 did not take place in 2004 (see also projects #35784 and ##35774).
