I said: "Mike, I think you must be a little confused, I think you can check the information, Bruce Lee is indeed a serious Chinese." "At this moment, I really think that Mike is suffering from dementia, let me ask, the world, is there still anyone who does not know that Bruce Lee is a Chinese? This Mike, did he say this on purpose, or did he have another purpose?

Mike smiled and said: "Zhao Mi, I have to say, Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee, was indeed a Chinese, but he later became an American citizen, and all the achievements he achieved were obtained after becoming an American citizen." Since he became an American citizen, he is a legal American citizen, so he is an American, and perhaps, if you have to talk about his past, we can call him a Chinese-American. ”

It dawned on me.

To be honest, Mike's explanation is not unreasonable, as he said, Bruce Lee did become an American citizen.

But according to Bruce Lee's relatives, the reason why Bruce Lee became an American citizen at that time was not up to him.

I explained to Mike, "Mr. Bruce Lee is an American citizen, but there's a reason for that. That was because he was born in the United States and grew up in Hong Kong, and according to the conditions and laws at the time, he could only become a British citizen in Hong Kong or an American citizen in the United States! Bruce Lee was also forced to be helpless at that time. Later, Bruce Lee chose the latter, because he wanted to develop in the United States, spread the national kung fu and nationalization in the United States, a developed country that advocates competition, and then influence the whole world! The United States at that time may not have heard of any national kung fu at all, but it was Bruce Lee who carried forward our country's national culture! He wrote the four words 'national kung fu' into the dictionary of Americans and even all countries and nationalities in the world! However, Bruce Lee himself did not consider himself an American, and whenever someone asked about it, he would say that he was a Chinese. Including after he won the National Kickboxing Championship, he once shouted to the national fighting audience that he was a countryman. At the same time, he also took the dissemination of Chinese kung fu as his own responsibility, and vigorously propagating our national kung fu in the United States is the best proof of this! Bruce Lee made three great wishes back then: First, he popularized and carried forward Jeet Kune Do, so that the national kung fu would spread all over the world. The second is to enable Chinese films to enter the international market and let film audiences all over the world know about Chinese films. The third is to play the leading role in European and American films, establishing the international status of Chinese actors. Exactly, he reached his goal, and he achieved it. He created myths all over the world!"

I don't know how I suddenly have such a strong thinking logic and justification ability, and I linked Bruce Lee's deeds with the country and the national kung fu in one go.

After hearing this, Mike shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "What you said is wonderful and true. I don't think we need to dwell too much on that, you say?"

Obviously, Mike seemed to have felt the paleness of his words, and he couldn't argue with me a little.

I smiled slightly, and took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Mike, do you now recognize the important position of national kung fu in the world?"

Mike smiled faintly and put on an unusually funny look: "Admission is admission." But, but I have to say, it seems that there is still a little bit of a gap between it and American boxing, just a little bit. Mike pinched and stroked with one hand, like a child who likes to argue, full of cuteness.

No wonder someone once said that Americans are an unusually lovely people.

Sometimes, it does.

Take Mike as an example, although he is confident and even a little arrogant, but in the actual relationship, he is still very connotative and measured. What's even more commendable is the childishness that he occasionally bursts out.

It's cute.

I smiled and explained to Mike, "Mike, I have to tell you, when it comes to martial arts and martial arts, the country is the ancestor of martial arts in the world. Two-thirds of the world's martial arts originated in China. ”

Mike laughed: "I would like to hear which martial arts originated in the country?"

I said, "Karate, Taekwondo, Japanese judo, Muay Thai, the four world's leading martial arts, all originated in China. Karate originated in the Tang Dynasty, when the Tang Dynasty had close exchanges with countries around the world, and early karate was called 'Tang Hand', which has the meaning of originating from the Tang Dynasty. According to the research of relevant experts, it should have originated from the country's Shaolin, and later Japan fused the Tang hand with various martial arts in its own country to form karate; taekwondo, which was popularized by the national martial arts in North Korea and South Korea, is a popular technique in North and South Korea, which is composed of three parts: the test of potential (routine) fighting skills. Taekwondo is a unique martial art that has been innovated and developed, and has high practical value for self-defense and physical strength. Judo, it is said that in the early years when Qi Jiguang resisted the Japanese soldiers, Qi Jiguang's subordinates repeatedly defeated the Japanese and Japanese in a special fighting method, and the Japanese were very surprised, and later began to study this kind of fighting technique, and the history has changed, and it has evolved into the current judo; as for Muay Thai, according to historical records, it should originate from the southern martial arts of the country, and later evolved into it. ”

Mike was almost dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in surprise: "What you said is well-founded, why haven't I heard of it?"

I pinched my nose and said proudly, "If you've heard everything, then you're not a saint?"

Mike smiled embarrassedly, shrugged his shoulders thoughtfully, and smiled, "I admit it, I admit it." Your country's martial arts have a long history and are great. But your ability to make up stories seems to be even better!" Mike lost no time in silently.

I laughed and said, "It's not an editor. It's a fact. ”

Mike said, "Oh, I'll admit, it's true. You gave a wonderful lecture, and I have added a lot of knowledge. But he changed his words and said: "Although according to what you just said, so many martial arts in the world originated from the country, but I think that your country, especially when the feudal dynasty, closed off the country, and since the Tang Dynasty, it has rarely communicated with other countries in the world, so even if the martial arts of your country are very profound, they are not recognized by the world." To use a metaphor with a little image, it is your country's diplomatic policy that is a bit behind closed doors, so it was not until the emergence of Bruce Lee that national kung fu was completely accepted by the world. ”

I nodded and said, "Not bad." I admit that this is true. ”

Mike laughed, "Admit it, you're very frank." ”

I said, "You too." I hope that our afternoon race will not affect our friendship. ”

Mike said, "Of course. Don't worry, I won't fight, you won't be able to get up. Mike clenched his fist and waved it twice with a witty expression.

I said, "There will be results in the afternoon." Win or lose, we're good friends, aren't we?"

Mike shook my hand before finishing his sentence and said, "You're a friend, it's worth making with me." ”

I replied with a smile.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the round-robin round robin of the semi-finals officially kicked off.

The contestants entered in advance and experienced more than half a day of rest, and the atmosphere of the whole venue was quite warm, and the audience kept their eyes open and waited and waited. Small symbolic flags of various countries began to wave.

The first was played by American guard Pabloc against national guard Kesself. Before the court, Mike pointed out a series of dense plans for Kesseff, but it was clear that Pabloc did not have much hope for this matchup. Pabloc mentioned to me that he had fought Kesseff at the summit meeting, but had lost badly. Therefore, his attempt with Kesef this time was almost unlucky.

The black host spoke standard English and began the opening remarks of the afternoon round-robin: "After a day's break, the four of us who have advanced to the semi-finals have almost rested, they are, Mike from the United States, Pablok from the United States, Keser from China, and Zhao Long from China. This afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, we're going to have a round-robin tournament to determine the winner, runner-up and runner-up, and I think those four can't wait to get ready for now. They are all martial arts masters from all over the world, representing the highest martial arts symbol of a country, so let's silently pray for them...... Now, the round-robin tournament has officially begun, and the first to appear is the representative of the United States, Pablok, and the representative from the country, Kesef, who may be known to some of us, Kesef was the third runner-up in the fighting event of last year's exchange meeting, and Pablok is also an excellent heavyweight boxer in the United States, known for his amazing boxing skills. This is a decisive battle of the world's top masters, it will be very exciting, very exciting, below, let us cheer the representatives of both sides with warm applause. ”

Holding the 'First Round' sign, the lady twisted her waist gracefully in the ring, and after a model-like circle around the ring, Kesef and Pabloc both stepped over the ring rope and showed their strength energetically.

Kesif twisted his neck, then moved his limbs, and Pablok's boxing gloves slammed into a stance.

Although I was far away from the ring, I could clearly see that Pablok seemed to be a little uncertain when he saw Catheph.

The race has officially begun.

Kesef seems to be determined to win, aggressively attacking, adopting a suppressive style of play, domineering and imposing. At the beginning, he performed a ferocious Thai leg sweep, and his body was filled with a kind of unstoppable aura of high mountains.

Pablok, on the other hand, was aggressively defensive, looking for opportunities to find a flaw in Kesef, but easily, he had already fallen into a passive situation in the shortest possible time.

Kesef's skills are comprehensive, his fists and feet are fast and heavy, and he seems to have mastered national kung fu, so he even carried out a close hug on Pablok, and began to frequently use wrestling methods to knock down Pablok.

Pablok's opportunistic punches were greatly contained, and he tried to use leg strikes several times, but Pabloc saw through them early and took precautions.

To a certain extent, this game is basically a game without any suspense.

There is a significant difference in strength between the two, Kesif is superior in strength, and Pabloc is a little insignificant in comparison.

Within minutes, Pablok unleashed a series of Muay Thai knees and elbows, as well as lightning-fast high-flying kicks, knocking Pablok to the canvas three times in a row.

And Pablok, from the beginning to the end, did not have any chance to attack, even if he applied all his energy to defense, it was difficult to parry Kesoff's fierce attack.

Three rounds later, Kesef won by a landslide.

After the race between Pablok and Kesef, it was time for me and Mike to face off.
