Fang Monan folded his left palm and right fist, his arms were bent round, and with a pair of smiling eyes, he arched his hand and said, "Should I also say, meet friends with martial arts, and concede!" Promise! ”

Looking at Fang Monan, the martial arts of the world are one family, modest and united, and meeting friends with martial arts, like people in the rivers and lakes.

The fat man and the two laughed unceremoniously .......

"How do you know how to hug your fist on the rivers and lakes." Liang Zi asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten that the world's martial arts are out of Shaolin!" Fang Menan teased with a smile. "Go and sit in the pavilion, stupid snowman!"

"The fist hug ceremony is a traditional Chinese etiquette, but now it is almost not used, but a Western handshake ceremony." Liang Zi said with a smile.

"The handshake in the West seems to have originated from the knight comparing swords, originally the knight had to wear gloves during the duel, and the handshake indicated that I did not bring the equipment for the duel, indicating friendship. But now it feels bad to reach out and shake hands as soon as we meet. What should I do if my hands are not clean, or if they are wet? It also infects bacteria. Or fist hygiene. Fang Monan curled the corners of his lips and smiled, "Especially when it comes to the bathroom." ”

The fat man imagines that kind of scene, and when he is relieved, "Hmm! He quickly shook his head, "It's better to clasp your fists and salute." ”

"Haha......" Liang Zi laughed heartily.

"The fist salute, also known as the 'arch', is a kind of meeting ceremony in ancient times, and the hands are put together in front of the chest to show respect. The Analects. There is such a record in the "Micron": The sub-road arches and stands.

From a hygienic point of view, the handshake is the least hygienic. Holding fists is kind and hygienic;

From a cultural point of view, handshakes are not our thing. And holding fists is part of traditional culture;

From a comfortable point of view, hugging fists avoids some unnecessary embarrassment, such as between men and women, and between people with more distant relationships. ”

The fat man and Liang Zi nodded, "It makes sense, but unfortunately it's unrealistic, who let the west wind overwhelm the east wind!" Liang Zi shrugged helplessly.

"It's snowing so much!" The fat man said, the footprints where he stood just now had been completely covered.

Fang Monan looked at the snow that was falling heavier and heavier, "Ruixue is a good year!" ”

"Yes! If you stand for a while, you won't be a snowman. Liang Zi smiled and looked up at the wooden pavilion. When was a thatched pavilion built. It's a great way to see it down! "It's pure white and the view is so beautiful.

"It was built in the spring of last year." The fat man said smugly, "How's it going?" Natural, quaint and wild. ”

"In the past, the thatched houses were all poor in the old society, and they had no ability and money to build better houses, so they had to rely on themselves and build thatched houses. Its thatch doesn't cost much money. It's also relatively easy to collect. And it can shelter from the wind and rain, so the poor choose it to build their dwellings. Liang Zi sighed, "It's really feng shui in turn." The world has changed. It's really a thing, it's a person, it's not a thing. ”

Under the snowflakes flying in the sky, the snow scene of the thatched hut was beautiful, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Thatched pavilion is the originator of all kinds of pavilions, derived from real life, resting sheds and waterwheel sheds resting and sheltering from rain on the side of the mountain road, which is the original shape of the thatched pavilion.

This kind of pavilion is mostly made of logs and processed as beams and columns, or covered with thatch, or covered with bark, which is a natural taste. It retains the natural color, has the meaning of mountains, forests, and springs, and has more of the simple and quiet interest of "natural carving".

The thatched pavilion is a mirror that never rusts in the historical countryside, emitting a bronze light, regardless of the vicissitudes of life, it still reflects the history of human civilization in the rice waves and wheat waves. It is like a weather-beaten old man, isolated in the verdant fields with a simple and simple image, with green mountains as neighbors, kingfishers accompanied, hair and silver beard gently fluttering in the wind, and pleasantly facing the flowers blooming and falling in the field.

In the eastern sky, there is already a white fish's belly, and the sky and the earth are white.

"Hey! Big brother, when did your kung fu become so good! The fat man asked curiously. I didn't have such a good mix on the street before. ”

"Why do you ask so much?" Liang Zi waved his hand and said, looking like he was talking a long story.

"You've worked hard all these years." Fang Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at him with great satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I am not familiar with life, the hardships of doing business abroad are sometimes even worse than at home, and the United States is a very xenophobic country. ”

Since they were sold "piglets" to the Americas to build railways, Chinese immigrants in the United States have traveled for more than 150 years. For more than 150 years, the joys and sorrows of individuals, success and disappointment, are themselves a vivid human drama.

Sometimes, happiness is only in the eyes of others or envy or envy, and you yourself can never taste this sweetness.

After the reform and opening up, in the eighties and nineties, there was a wave of going abroad. Of course, those who are able to live are more satisfied, but at the same time, more people who are unable to study abroad also show their talents and go to the United States to work hard. They are a generation with fierce ambitions, claiming to be "the trendsetters of the times", disdainful of the ordinary, stable, and decent life "within the system" in China, and pursuing the lifestyle of "burping with chocolate" on the other side of the ocean.

After decades of isolation from the West, Chinese people are eager to understand that strange world. For the Chinese people, the United States is a distant, strange, and rich land. Many people are dreaming of going abroad, thinking for no reason that their fate will be transformed in that land. In order to achieve their dreams, they do not borrow to pay a great price.

Unlike the emigration of the wealthy in later generations, this period was the best of a generation, many of whom had a degree from a prestigious university or a decent job "within the system".

Chinese people think that the moon abroad is rounder than the domestic one, and they swarm abroad, but in fact, in order to survive, ordinary people dry clean dishes and serve dishes in restaurants, which is commonplace, and Fang Monan is a former member.

Just look at the people of Beijing in New York, art comes from life!

"That's also a blessing to the boss, without the escort of Hong Yaoqiang Hongmen, I wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Liang Zi said with a smile, there are still people who can't open their eyes to find fault, although it is the era of hot weapons, but the kung fu in this hand has never dared to be lost, and it was used to save his life that day.

"Hongmen, the largest Chinese community in the world, other gangsters also have to give three points." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"The triad forces abroad are very rampant, and doing business has to face threats from them." The fat man put himself aware, "The American mafia is very famous, like that famous movie, "The Godfather" is not the mafia. ”

"The mafia in the United States belongs to a relatively clear triad in the United States, but the development and growth of the mafia in the United States is also related to the support of the U.S. government, because the United States needs the mafia at some point in maintaining the international order." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"Think about it, it's most appropriate for them to do unsightly things, and there are people who carry the black pot." The fat man thought for a moment.

Liang Zi said, "The mafia in the United States originated in Italy, and since the 20s of the last century, it has become a relatively serious problem in American society. In fact, the underworld is the 'midwife of capitalism'. In the 30s of the last century, the United States suffered the Great Depression, and the Hoover administration at that time adopted a policy of using the mafia in order to stabilize the economy. When Roosevelt came to power, he began to fight the mafia. However, during the Second World War, the position of the mafia in the United States improved. The Mussolini regime in Italy was very strict in its repression of the mafia, and out of the need to oppose fascism, the mafia became an 'ally' of the United States to some extent at that time. At the end of World War II, U.S. troops landed in Sicily, Italy. Sicily is the stronghold of the mafia, and in order to resist Mussolini, the Sicilian mafia has given great cooperation to the US military, and the US military really needs this cooperation. Therefore, at that time, the US Government actually had a secret cooperative relationship with the mafia, and the mafia in the United States developed to a great extent. Since the 50s, the American mafia has been in full swing, and many independent gangs that control the American mafia have spread all over the country. ”

"The movie "The Godfather" that the fat man just said was invested and filmed by the mafia family. The biggest effect of this movie is that it glorifies the mafia to the American people, and the mafia leaders seem to be very human, not just cold-blooded killers. Fang Menan scoffed.

"In fact, from ancient times to the present, and even in the future, no matter how many years have passed, or even until the destruction of the earth, no matter which country or region on this earth, only black will not work, on the contrary, only white will not work. Because he needs balance. Liang Zi said meaningfully. If you destroy this today, there will be many gangs of all sizes tomorrow. ”

"So! There are triads in every country, but some countries do not recognize them, and the only country that recognizes them is ......"

"Japan is the only country in the world that recognizes the legitimacy of gangs, and Yakuza has become the most open gangster, with a complete organizational system. The members are well-dressed, wear name tags, and carry business cards with them. It's just a tattoo on the back and a hand that is missing a little finger, and according to the regulations, one little finger is cut off as a sign of loyalty. Liang Zi said.

"Yakuza?" The fat man wondered.

"It's the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Inagawa-kai, and the Sumiyoshi-kai all belong to this organization." Liang Zi explained. "Rising star Russian gangsters, alas! Are there many gangsters in the platoon? The list is endless. ”

"How can we run hotels, especially casinos, to bypass the gangs!" Liang Zi said.

"Having said all this, in fact, the United States is also an underworld, and it is the largest and most arrogant." Fang Monan hooked his lips and smiled.

Liang Zi smiled, "Makes sense! ”

"How do you solve this?" The fat man humbly asked for advice.

"What is the underworld? It is a social structure that completely controls the right to violence, the right to wealth, and the right to speak. In a normal and reasonable social regime, the power of violence can only be centrally managed by the government, and cannot be used by everyone casually; The right to wealth is shared between the government and society; The right to speak is owned by an independent institution or person that has nothing to do with the right to wealth. The so-called triad is the integration of the three powers of violence, wealth, and discourse -- the underworld can beat and kill people; The underworld implements commercial monopoly and eliminates competition; The triad manipulates discourse power through charity, intimidation, buying journalists, and buying the media. Fang Menan smiled. (To be continued......)
