Mention kung-fu movies and the first response will almost always include Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan. And for good reason — those talented actors and martial artists popularized the genre in the US and abroad. But director Lau Kar-leung is widely considered to be the Grandmaster of kung-fu, revolutionizing what a kung-fu film could be and influencing generations of actors and directors. Museum of Modern Art curator La Frances Hui goes deep into the history of kung-fu films and shows what makes Lau Kar-leung so special to the artform.

Now, Ma is gracing the NPR Tiny desk to perform a series of suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach.

He follows it up by taking his toys to the forest trails of the Pacific Northwest.
Currently, to travel along Norway's coast you'll have to take the E39 highway. The 683-mile route runs from Kristiansand in the south to Trondheim and with its seven different ferry connections, takes about 21 hours to complete.

The project is estimated to cost 40 billion dollars making it the largest infrastructure project in the country's history.
