Chapter 146 Professor Chan's Lecture on Health Knowledge
The surrounding audience looked at Chen Qiang with an eager gaze, and at this time they were all fooled by Chen Qiang's "sub-health" theory, of course, this is also because the audience can find the symptoms they meet among the symptoms described by Chen Qiang.
I only heard Chen Qiang say: "In fact, if you want to treat sub-health, the best way is reasonable exercise." Mind you, I'm talking about reasonable sports, not about making you blindly do a certain sport. Otherwise, it will be like this gentleman just now, not only will there be no way to treat sub-health, but it will cause harm to the body. ”
Chen Qiang said and pointed to the fat man who had just fainted from running, and the fat man was regarded as a negative example, but instead of being angry, he nodded quite convincingly.
"Next, I would like to introduce to you the relationship between exercise and health."
At this time, Chen Qiang seemed to have transformed into a professor at the sports university in his previous life, and in the face of a group of students who were eager for knowledge, he began to talk endlessly.
Lecturing is Chen Qiang's old profession, and the topic of "sports and health" is also quite extensive, and in the future university, it may not be possible to explain clearly after a few semesters of courses, so Chen Qiang has a topic to say.
If it is placed in China, if Chen Qiang gives such a lecture, few people can understand it. In the thirties, most of the people in China pursued to fill their stomachs, and as for their own health management, they didn't care at all.
But in the United States, these American audiences who come to see the circus are generally well-educated, and they can understand what Chen Qiang is saying.
Many of the concepts described by Chen Qiang are not found in this era, and the audience around him only sounds very novel, they have never known that there can be such a complex connection between exercise and health, and there can be so many new knowledge that has never been heard of. The audience thought about it carefully and felt more and more that what Chen Qiang said was very scientific.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think some of you have been working in the office for a long time, right? Some of you may feel soreness in the cervical spine and lumbar spine, or have vision loss, in fact, sitting for a long time is also one of the causes of sub-health, next I will teach you a few simple actions, without too much space, you can do it in the office, you can relieve the soreness of the cervical spine and lumbar spine, and treat sub-health ......"
While Chen Qiang was lecturing, from time to time he also interspersed with teaching everyone some movements to move muscles and joints. Soon it became Chen Qiang's temporary lecture hall.
When Chen Qiang was demonstrating a move, everyone around him was also doing it, and from a distance, it looked like a group of people dancing in a square dance.
Where did the Americans in the thirties ever see a square dance, and the people around looked over and saw only a group of people doing all kinds of strange movements, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the onlookers, and then they also approached and joined the audience.
People have a herd mentality, and when they see everyone doing a certain action, they follow suit. Those who know understand that this is learning to treat sub-health movements, while those who don't find it fun.
There are more and more people here in Chen Qiang, and soon, around the sixty-meter-long runway, there is no longer a place to stand.
……
Robert is an animal trainer at the Lingling Circus, he is responsible for training two lions on weekdays, and one of his best performances is the lion jumping the fire ring, which is also a signature performance of the Lingling Circus, which is painted as an advertisement and posted outside every time to attract more audiences.
Three o'clock in the afternoon is the prime time for circus performances, and Robert will also perform the lion jumping the fire ring at this time.
The performance is held in a large tent in the middle, and there is an iron fence between the performance area and the auditorium, the purpose of which is to ensure the safety of the audience and prevent the beast from suddenly going crazy and hurting the audience.
By the time it was nearly three o'clock, Robert was ready to put on the stage, he reached out to soothe his lion, and then looked out into the audience.
"I remember it was quite lively outside, and there should be a lot of people watching the circus today, but why is there so little audience here? In the past, the audience was crowded, and there were many audience members complaining because they couldn't squeeze in, but today the performance is about to start, why are there so many empty seats? ”
Robert shook his head inexplicably, he had never encountered such a situation.
The animal taming show is the signature event of the Lingling Circus.
The operation of the Lingling Circus is to raise animals but not people, it can be called an iron animal, an actor of flowing water, and because of this, the animal performance of Lingling Circus is also the most popular among the audience. Whenever it's time for an animal show, the circus crowds gather here to watch the animal show.
But today's situation seems to be a little different, and the most popular animal show has been given a cold reception.
Robert turned around and said, "Is it that the circus broadcast is broken, or is it not being broadcast, and the audience doesn't know that we are about to perform?" ”
"The broadcast is not bad, our performance trailer has also been broadcast, I just heard it." The man next to him replied.
"Then why are there so few spectators!" Robert spoke.
"Maybe they're heading this way. Don't worry about the details, it's almost three o'clock, and we're going to be on the stage. ”
The animal trainers took the stage in turn and completed the performance with their own animals, and the whole process was thrilling and very smooth.
After most of the hour, the animal show ended, and the audience got up one after another and left the stage quickly, as if they were in a hurry.
"What's going on, why are they all in such a hurry, is there anything more attractive outside?" Robert looked puzzled.
There were so many strange things happening today, the audience was much smaller than usual, and they were leaving in such a hurry that Robert was very curious, and he planned to eradicate it.
"Robert, where are you going, you haven't fed the lion yet, the meat will be brought right away!" A person next to him spoke.
"I'll go out and have a look, and I'll be right back." Robert said, blending into the crowd and leaving the tent.
When Robert walked out of the tent, he saw that most of the people were rushing in one direction.
"They're all going that way, is there anything appealing over there? I remember there was a haha mirror tent in that direction, there was Donnie the clown who could stick balloons, and by the way, the world's No. 1 athlete! ”
Robert continued to follow the crowd forward, and then he saw ahead, in front of the sixty-meter makeshift runway, it was already crowded, and they were all doing one thing: shaking their necks.
"What are they doing! Is it evil? Robert said to himself, and then he chose to walk into the crowd.
Chen Qiang's voice came into Robert's ears: "The action just now, you can practice it yourself after you go back." Now let's talk about another thing, I just heard a lot of people say that they usually have constipation, now I will talk about how to use exercise to improve the situation of convenience! ”
"Improve constipation? I've been suffering from constipation lately! Robert couldn't help but lean forward, wanting to listen carefully to what Chen Qiang was talking about.
Chen Qiang talked endlessly for a long time, and then began to demonstrate the action: "Next, I want to teach you this action, which can help eliminate abdominal diseases, reduce abdominal fat, help digestion and improve constipation." Everyone follow me, stand with your feet hip-width apart and bend your body forward......"
Robert's eyes widened as he watched Chen Qiang's study, and then began to follow suit, standing with his feet hip-width apart and his body bent forward.
At this time, he had forgotten that the two lions were still hungry!
……
At the end of the day, Chen Qiang didn't perform much sprinting and long jump, but his mouth was dry from lecturing.
The advanced concept of "sub-health" is indeed very deceiving.
The future Soviet scholar Buchman proposed that there was a "third state" between health and disease, which was not until the mid-90s of the 20th century, when someone called this state "sub-health", which caused a sensation.
At that time, it was rumored that 70% of people were in a sub-healthy state, and everyone was discussing whether they were in a sub-healthy state, not to mention any headache and brain fever, even if they sneezed, they would feel that they were sub-healthy.
With the insight of the future people, they can't find the east, west, north and south that are still fooled by "sub-health", and where can people in the thirties withstand this kind of flickering, Chen Qiang has just put forward the concept of "sub-health", and they are already convinced.
"The Yankees in the thirties were also quite easy to fool, but unfortunately, I didn't have any health products on hand, otherwise I would definitely fool them, and one person bought a health care product for more than ten dollars!" Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.
When Chen Qiang packed up his things and was about to leave, a person in the distance hurriedly walked over.
"Mr. Chen, please stay. I don't know if you have time, let's talk? The man spoke.
Chen Qiang looked back and saw that this person he knew, it was the person who painted the billboard when he first came to Lingling Circus, and Chen Qiang handed him a paint bucket at that time.
I saw this man introduce himself: "My name is Louis Williams, I am a painter, and I listened to your lectures during the day. ”
"Oh, what's wrong with my speech?" Chen Qiang asked.
"Your presentation was simply amazing, it really opened my eyes, I never knew what 'sub-health' was before, and I didn't know that athletes and health have such a big connection!" Louis Williams spoke.
"Thank you for the compliment." Chen Qiang said politely, but Chen Qiang also knew that Louis Williams was definitely not specifically here to praise himself.
I only heard Louis Williams continue: "Mr. Chen, since you have such an excellent oratorial talent, and you also have such advanced knowledge of 'sub-health', don't you think it is a bit condescending to perform in the circus?" ”
"What do you mean, Mr. Williams?" Chen Qiang showed a puzzled expression.
"I think you should go to the university to give a lecture, not to be in the circus. What you are talking about is a completely new topic, a new discovery, and it can enter the academic world, you should go and communicate the concept of 'sub-health' with those university students, and you say this to the audience in the circus, which is completely outrageous! Williams began.
"I'm a mess too, and the owner here Feld pays me a good salary. Since I received the money, I naturally wanted to attract the audience as much as possible. Chen Qiang replied.
"What you're saying makes a lot of sense, and if you go to a university to give a lecture, you'll get paid, and it shouldn't be any less." Williams said right away.
Celebrities can get paid for speaking at American universities, and Chen Qiang also knows this. Of course, the amount of remuneration is related to the status and fame of the speaker and the content of the speech. For example, in 2017, Schwarzenegger paid $40,000 for his speech at the University of Houston, and after successive U.S. presidents left office, they could easily earn millions from their speeches.
In addition, some academic speeches, the remuneration is also very considerable, and the academic speeches are made by some real "big bulls", what Nobel Prize winners and the like, what they say are some real "dry goods", and many of the content is usually not heard by spending money, so the academic speeches of the big bulls, American universities are happy to give high remuneration.
At Chen Qiang's level, he gave a lecture at an American university in the thirties, which was more than enough, and his knowledge was enough to easily beat the professors of kinematics all over the world in this era, and he casually revealed a little more advanced kinematics concept, which was enough for the kinematics professors of this era to study well for two or three years.
In fact, Chen Qiang also considered finding a university to earn some speech fees, but although he had ideas, he had no way, and it happened that the invitation letter from the circus was sent to the door, so Chen Qiang came to work in the circus.
At this time, Chen Qiang had actually guessed the meaning of Louis Williams.
So Chen Qiang said embarrassedly: "I would like to give a lecture at a university, but I am not an American, and I am not familiar with life in Los Angeles, even if I want to give a lecture at a university, there is no way!" ”
After Chen Qiang finished speaking, he stared at Louis Williams with a smile.
As Chen Qiang expected, when he said that he had no way, Louis Williams immediately said: "Mr. Chen, I am a painter, I have held art exhibitions before, and I am familiar with several famous universities in Los Angeles, and I can help you contact the university." If Mr. Chen doesn't dislike it, I can still be your agent! ”
Chen Qiang thought for a moment, and he felt that it was much better to have a local snake to help than to find a relationship by himself.
So Chen Qiang opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Williams, I can authorize you to help me contact the university." If we have a good cooperation, we can discuss the matter of you as my agent in detail. ”
The second chapter is delivered, two chapters of 11,000 words today, and there are still a few hours left for the double monthly pass.
