Chapter 924: The Yang Family's Father and Son
Here in Chinatown, there are special lion dance teams, acrobatic teams, martial arts teams, and many performances with Chinese characteristics. Although the Chinese have gone overseas, they are still keen to promote Chinese culture. North America is a melting pot of all the peoples of the world, as well as a melting pot of world cultures.
Every race retains its own national identity here in North America, and the Chinese are no exception.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, many white people also come to join in the fun, come to Chinatown to watch Chinese performances, and feel the lively and warm atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
The entrance to Chinatown is a huge house number, built according to Chinese specifications, antique. The three big characters of "Chinatown" in the book let outsiders know that this is Huaxia City when they see it.
One of the most famous landmarks in Chinatown is the statue of Confucius not far from the entrance. China has been influenced by Confucius and Confucianism for thousands of years, and overseas Chinese especially revere Confucius in order to maintain their own characteristics.
Confucius is known as the teacher of eternity, known as "heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, eternity is like a long night", this character is not just the old Confucius in history, to a certain extent, Confucius is the Jesus of Western civilization. He is a symbol of the Chinese humanistic spirit.
The early Chinese immigrants erected the statue of Confucius in the hope that future generations would not forget their homeland and the source of their spiritual civilization. However, the effect of this thing is not great, after the Chinese reach the third generation, they will inevitably become ABC, completely Americanized, they can't speak a word of Chinese, they can't write a single Chinese character, and they won't be proud of their race.
At this moment, the high-level leaders of Hongmen stood under the huge statue of Confucius to welcome Yang Xiaotian's arrival.
The first person is naturally Yang Wanli, the leader of North American Hongmen. Yang Wanli looks forty years old, his eyes are full of essence, he has a hooked nose, sharp triangular eyes, and a square face with sharp edges. As soon as anyone sees Yang Wanli, they know that Yang Wanli will not be easy to mess with. His physiognomy is that of a typical capable person.
Yang Wanli's burly figure is especially prominent among the Chinese, with a height of 1.92 meters, which makes Yang Wanli stand out among a group of foreigners. Yang Wanli also has a characteristic, that is, "a huge waist and a round waist, a tiger's back and a bear's waist", which is a typical figure of an ancient military general, and is the embodiment of endurance and attack resistance. Looking closely, Yang Wanli's hand playing with Wenwan walnut has a thick layer of fist cocoon, and his forearm muscle groups are extremely developed, which is a good performance of martial arts.
There are not a few high-level people in Hongmen who have always known martial arts, this is because Hongmen was the first anti-Qing and Mingdao organization, and its core members must practice martial arts to protect themselves, so as not to die in the hands of the imperial eagle dogs. Hongquan, which is widely spread in the south, was born in Hongmen and was created by a master in Hongmen under the pseudonym Hong Xiguan.
Later, this Hongquan was carried forward by a generation of grandmaster Huang Feihong and his disciple Lin Shirong, and gradually spread out of the Hongmen category, but the Hongquan circulated within Hongmen is still the most authentic Hongquan.
Although modern times have been the era of guns, the usefulness of martial arts is no longer as irreplaceable as in the past, but some high-level Hongmen still habitually practice martial arts. The Chinese are too weak in North America, and if they want to protect themselves and stand tall among the nations of the world, they must be stronger than foreigners in all aspects.
Martial arts is a very easy means to make people physically strong, Hongmen has always admired martial arts, in the past, when the Situ family was in charge, the famous martial artist Bruce Lee was able to open a good martial arts gym in North America, and he was also quite favored by the Situ family and the support of Hongmen.
Yang Wanli is good at Hong Quan and Iron Sand Palm, and his martial arts are so high that he has never fallen out of the top three in the Chinese world in North America. In his early years, when he was fond of using violence, the Italian mafia and black gangs who fought with his amazing skills were terrified, and gave him the nickname "Iron Fist".
However, since sitting on the throne of the dragon's head, Yang Wanli has not done anything with anyone for a long time, he has become gentle and elegant, like a traditional Chinese scholar, cultivating his mind and cultivating his temperament.
Just like Yang Wanli at this moment, wearing a coarse cloth robe and cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles on his feet, he looks very Chinese and simple. But as long as he stood there, the momentum of the mountains was impossible to ignore.
It is not unreasonable that he can become the leader of the Hongmen in North America, compared with Yang Wanli, the other high-level Hongmen leaders have lost half of the size first, and they have to lose half of the momentum, how can they fight?
Beside Yang Wanli, one on the left and one on the right, stood two young men who looked a little similar to Yang Wanli. The one on the left is also a tiger's back, with a black Tang suit, sharp eyes and powerful momentum. His name is Yang Jimin, he is Yang Wanli's eldest son, and he is also the most powerful safflower double stick in Hongmen, a proper high-level.
Yang Wanli can sit firmly on the throne of the leader of Hongmen, which is inseparable from Yang Jimin's inexhaustible support. Yang Wanli doesn't do dirty work now, but Yang Jimin fights and kills for Yang Wanli, he is three points more ruthless than Yang Wanli when he was young, although his martial arts are not as good as Yang Wanli, but he is good at marksmanship. The combination of modern weapons and his prowess led him to be listed as the most dangerous person by the New York police, and the other communities around him nicknamed him "Leopard Head".
The young man standing on the left side of Yang Wanli, wearing a suit and leather shoes, a leather briefcase, and black-framed glasses, looked polite. This man's name is Yang Jiguo,
It is Yang Wanli's youngest son. Unlike his brother Yang Jimin, Yang Jiguo is not good at fighting and killing, but is a scholar.
Yang Jiguo graduated from Stanford University and studied law, and after graduating, he became a decent profession in the United States - a lawyer. Lawyers can be said to be the core of all professions in North America, and many congressmen and presidents are born lawyers, because the judicial system here is very developed, and there is room for lawyers to operate.
When a man with a face in North America is in trouble, the first thing he says is, "Go and call my lawyer." From this interesting reaction, we can see how popular the profession of lawyer is in North America, and it is not impossible to become a lawyer, and at the end of the middle class, and then become a member of the ruling class.
Even people who are in mixed associations need a good lawyer to help them fight lawsuits. For example, the North American movie "The Godfather" can be called an epic movie, in which the Italian mafia is doing things, which is a three-board axe. The first axe is force, the second is popularity, and the third axe is lawyer. These three axes can't be left without one.
