Abstract: Objective: To explore the cultural identity of foreign practitioners of Wushu as an intangible cultural heritage. Methods: Foreign practitioners of Xinhui Choy Li Fut were interviewed and the original interview data were encoded and analyzed. Results: The cultural identity of Choy Li Fut foreign practitioners can be divided into three categories: "ordinary students, prospective students and housebound students", and the construction process of their cultural identity can be divided into three levels: "perceptual cultural identity, constructive cultural identity and formative cultural identity". Conclusion: The construction of cultural identity of Choy Li Fut foreign practitioners is a long and gradual process, and has the characteristics of collectivity, progressiveness and implicitness. Therefore, the practical significance of the international communication of Wushu as an intangible cultural heritage does not lie in the cultural conquest, but in "seeking common ground while reserving differences, taking what each needs, and learning from each other's strengths to complement each other's weaknesses".
