The name of Ye Huai's apprentice is Feng Cheng, and the location of the Wing Chun Martial Arts Hall is located in Chicago's Chinatown. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chicago's Chinatown was first opened for overseas Chinese surnamed Mei in Siyi, located on Clark Street near the downtown area, also known as the First Chinatown. It was later expanded to the current Yonghuo Street, the second Chinatown.

At the entrance of the second Chinatown, there is a typical Chinese-style archway, which is also a landmark building that will appear at the entrance of many American Chinatowns. The front of the archway is engraved with Sun Yat-sen's handwritten "the world is for the public", and the back is engraved with "courtesy, righteousness and shame", these two sentences are almost the standard in Chinatown, and Huang Yifei saw many tourists standing under this archway to take a group photo.

Meng Fanlong looked at the archway in front of him and the familiar yellow faces, and couldn't help but sigh: "If I hadn't known that I was in the United States, I would have thought that this place was in China." ”

Hearing this, Huang Yifei just smiled, and then walked into the second Chinatown with Meng Fanlong. The signboards and road signs here are both in Chinese and English, so even if you don't speak English well, you can find what you're looking for here. However, this is only useful for Meng Fanlong, and Huang Yifei's English level is still okay.

The whole street is a few storey buildings, and there are no high-rise buildings, and the shops next to the street have big signs. Entering the street, Huang Yifei still saw a lot of blacks and whites, but they were also holding mobile phones or cameras to take pictures, and they seemed to be curious tourists.

The Wing Chun Martial Arts Pavilion is not difficult to find, as in front of a two-story building, a large Wing Chun plaque is erected. On the first floor is a pharmacy that deals in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but Huang Yifei only saw some white people looking at it with interest, but there were no patients who actually saw a doctor, and it seems that Chinese medicine is also in decline like traditional martial arts.

Walking up to the second floor, Huang Yifei and Meng Fanlong were on the top of the stairs when they heard the cheers from the martial arts practice. Standing at the door, Huang Yifei saw about a dozen students wearing traditional white clothes, black pants and black cloth shoes, practicing Wing Chun with two-character tongs and sheep horses. Most of the students were Chinese, with only one white man mixed with one black man.

Seeing Huang Yifei and Meng Fanlong standing by the door, a young man in his twenties walked over and asked them, "Hello, are you here to sign up for martial arts?"

"No, I'm here to find Uncle Feng Cheng. Huang Yifei replied casually.

"Uncle Feng Cheng?" the young man repeated suspiciously, in his impression, he had never heard of the pavilion master and senior brother, how could this person call the pavilion owner uncle?

With this doubt, the young man replied: "The hall master is in the back room, let me take you over, please here." ”

In this way, Huang Yifei and Meng Fanlong followed behind the young student, passed through the lobby of the Wing Chun Martial Arts Hall, and came to a room in the back. The room is decorated with traditional tables and chairs of the Eight Immortals, and above it is an old man who looks to be in his fifties, sipping a cup of tea.

Seeing Huang Yifei and them coming, the old man's eyes were a little surprised, but he quickly recovered as usual and waited for Huang Yifei and them to come over.

"Pavilion Master, these two said they were looking for you, so I brought them here. ”

"Got it, you go out first. Feng Cheng nodded and replied.

Seeing the young man go out, Huang Yifei first hugged his fists and respectfully addressed Feng Cheng: "Uncle Shi." ”

Old Man Feng Cheng is different from Ye Huai, he still has jet-black hair at the moment, although he looks only in his fifties, but Huang Yifei knows that his century age is close to seventy, but he looks very young.

"You're flying. Feng Cheng asked with a faint smile on his face at this time, before Huang Yifei came here, Ye Huai had already called and told him that he had accepted a reserve disciple and was going to come to the United States to fight boxing, so that Feng Cheng could take good care of some of his nephews.

"Yes, Uncle Shi, I am Huang Yifei, this is a member of my boxing team, and my name is Meng Fanlong. ”

"Old man Feng is good. Meng Fanlong also greeted respectfully at this time.

"Good, good, they're all young talents. Don't stand still, sit down. After speaking, Feng Cheng pointed to the vacant seat next to him and motioned for Huang Yifei and Meng Fanlong to sit down.

After taking a seat, Old Man Feng Cheng began to say: "Yifei, I have already learned about your coming. In fact, I have already seen the performance of the national boxing team in the ring in the past two days, and it has greatly raised the face of our Chinese! You may not know in China that in foreign countries, in fact, Chinese people are all weak groups, and they have congenital deficiencies in terms of force, and many blacks and Latinos have specially provoked Chinese people to rob and attack. ”

"I only hope that you boxers can win the championship title against those ghosts and prove the strength of our Chinese." In the future, we Chinese will have a lot of confidence abroad. Because we Chinese have also produced world champions, standing at the pinnacle of world martial arts, our strength and physical fitness are no worse than other races. ”

Huang Yifei didn't expect that Old Man Feng would tell him this, in fact, Old Man Feng didn't say it, Huang Yifei also understood that the political status of Chinese people in the United States basically belonged to the bottom. Even the Chinese Exclusion Act a hundred years ago dragged on for 12 years before it received a formal apology from the United States, and the original English word is still "regret" (regret), not "apology".

"Uncle Shi, I will eventually become a professional boxing champion!" Huang Yifei replied affirmatively.

"Old Man Feng, I will also become a boxing champion and let those ghosts understand!" Meng Fanlong also replied, what he had seen and heard these days made him feel a deep unhappiness, he very much wanted to prove his strength in front of foreigners.

Hearing the two of them say this, Old Man Feng felt that he was a little too excited, these heavy responsibilities should not be borne by the two children. So he didn't continue to talk about these aspects, but said some ordinary household words to enhance their understanding of each other.

During the conversation, Huang Yifei also learned that Uncle Shi had come to the United States for 40 years, and he was the same year as Bruce Lee. This Wing Chun martial arts hall was opened when he first came to Chicago, and at the same time, he also understood medical science, and opened a Chinese medicine hall together by the way.

However, the peak period of Wing Chun gym was when Bruce Lee was most famous, and then Jackie Chan broke into Hollywood in the 90s, bringing a wave of publicity for Chinese kung fu. Now that traditional martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine are getting worse and worse, there are only a dozen or so students left in the Wing Chun gym.
