A number of abstracts were published back in the mid to late
1980s on the subject but is there any proof that Jesus Christ spent time in a
Shaolin Temple in Mainland China during his so-called “lost years”?

Though a number of seemly credible evidence did suggest that
Jesus Christ – or more precisely Saint Essa – as he is more commonly known in
this region, show that he may have spent time touring across India in search of
enlightenment during his so-called “Lost Years”, bits of evidence were also
discovered revealing that Jesus Christ did spent time in a Shaolin Temple – not
only to learn some martial arts like Kung Fu, Qi Gong, etc., but also the
requisite skills to purportedly survive a violent Roman Empire era crucifixion.
But are such evidence really credible or to be taken with a grain of salt so to
speak.
When Mainland China started to open up to western tourism –
i.e. around the time when the pop group Wham (George Michael and company) –
were allowed to perform in their arenas, various articles – including pictures –
started being published in the Sunday supplements of major newspapers as “archeology”
news. Although this has since died down after the notorious Tiananmen Square
Massacre incident of June 4, 1989, many have since wondered if Jesus Christ
really did spent time in a Mainland Chinese Shaolin Temple. After all, it is a
martial arts movie that writes itself whether in the hands of Hollywood or Hong
Kong movie producers – i.e. Shaolin Jesus / Kung Fu Jesus.
Even though it has been downplayed during the airing of the series
back in the mid 1970s, scriptwriters did manage to “suggest” that the
particular Shaolin Temple in the TV series Kung Fu that stars David Carradine
was also visited by Jesus Christ during his so-called “Lost Years”. Maybe the
subject needs to be investigated further given that the Beijing government has
since become friendlier to western tourism.

Does this mean that Hollywood would soon be making a movie titled "Shaolin Jesus" starring Chris Hemsworth and Jet Li?
Back around 1988 / 1989, I remembered my father mentioning an article on the morning supplement showing a picture of a Chinese inscription of a single-occupancy bedroom in a Shaolin Temple located in a very remote part of Mainland Chine. The inscription states that this room was occupied by a 14-year-old boy from the Middle East region - and additional descriptions suggesting that this room was used by a teenage Jesus Christ when he was a student in that particular Shaolin Temple. Sadly no follow-up ever materialized of that particular news story ever since.
