"Girls need Kungfu to protect ourselves!"
Hundreds of female aspiring flight attendants are learning self-defense skills with Wing Chun Kungfu Masters in Sichuan.
The participants, most of whom are millennials, said they want to be able to defend themselves if confronted with attackers.
The move comes after a young woman was attacked and nearly abducted by a male stranger in the hallway of a Yitel hotel in Beijing last Sunday. A hotel staff was present at the scene but failed to stop the attacker.
The victim was later saved by another guest who stepped in and forced the man to retreat.
The young victim then uploaded the surveillance footage on her Weibo account, sparking public outrage regarding the incident.
Many young women in China have chosen to take up self defense in the wake of the event.
