Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Battle of Tuyang Sports (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

When Chen Qiang heard the word "light work", he couldn't help but be stunned.

Light Gong is actually real, although practicing Light Gong does not make the weight lighter, but it can greatly improve the ability to run, jump, and dodge and move. Light power is not the embodiment of anti-gravity, but due to the rendering of the home and the exaggeration of film and television works, many people are misled into thinking that light power does not exist.

The real light work is not like in film and television works, and it is impossible to fly in the air like wings, but if you want to fly on the wall, you can still do it.

In ancient times, there were no high-rise buildings, and in the absence of steel bars, it was not easy to rely on bricks and tiles to see a two-story building, and most of the buildings were one-storey. And the so-called light masters, who can climb a roof with their bare hands, and then can walk on the eaves and walls like flying.

From the perspective of future generations, the ability of light masters in ancient times is probably similar to that of modern parkour masters.

Many modern parkour masters can also jump between buildings, and their ability to run, bounce, and balance is beyond ordinary people.

Light work and parkour, although the two have similarities, are not exactly the same. Light work emphasizes the control of muscles to achieve the effect of lifting weights; Modern parkour, on the other hand, focuses more on the flexibility and coordination of the body.

At this time, Chen Qiang already understood that the Zhao Jinhong on the opposite side was probably a master of light skills, because he was not convinced by himself, or he looked down on track and field, so he came up to challenge, but lost the game.

If it is better than the cornice, Chen Qiang is definitely not as good as Zhao Jinhong, a master of light skills, but if it is compared to sprinting, the master of light skills is really not the opponent of a professional sprinter like Chen Qiang.

The so-called specialization in the art industry is like the horsepower of the liberation truck is much greater than that of the Santana car, but compared to the speed, the liberation truck is definitely better than the Santana car.

So Chen Qiang had to explain patiently: "Mr. Zhao, the sprinting of track and field is different from the light skill of national arts, and sprinting is a sport in which the human body maximizes its speed limit. You shouldn't be doing light skills specifically for speed, right? So even if you compete again, you won't run faster than me. ”

"You mean, the light skills of our national arts are not as good as your Western sports?" Zhao Jinhong put on an angry expression.

"Mr. Zhao, you misunderstood, I just introduced you to the characteristics of sprinting......"

Before Chen Qiang's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhao Jinhong again: "Enough, I don't believe it yet, the national art will not be as good as Western sports, I will ask you a word, let's compare again, are you willing!" ”

Chen Qiangxin said that he really met an unreasonable person today, he was just performing a sprint, how could he get involved in the contest between national art and Western sports.

Looking at Zhao Jinhong's posture, Chen Qiang felt that if he didn't agree to compete again, Zhao Jinhong would not give up.

"Well, as you said, let's do it again." Chen Qiang paused, and then said: "But Mr. Zhao, let's talk about ugly things ahead, whether you win or lose this competition, it will be the last." If you agree, I will compete with you again, if you don't agree, if you lose and have to compete for the third time, then I will not be accompanied! ”

"What do you think of me Zhao Jinhong! I was just careless just now, if I lose to you again, I, Zhao Jinhong, will not have the face to mix in this Jinmen martial arts in the future! Zhao Jinhong said arrogantly.

……

In the crowd, several juniors looked at Zhao Jinhong worriedly, in the game just now, the gap between the two was too big, and the juniors and disciples did not think that if they competed again, Zhao Jinhong would be able to turn defeat into victory.

"What are you looking at here? Why is Jin Hong there? A voice rang out suddenly.

Several junior disciples turned their heads, and a color of surprise suddenly appeared on their faces.

"It's Big Brother!"

"Senior brother, you're finally here!"

"Senior brother, take a look, Senior Brother Zhao is competing with others!"

"Senior brother, that person's name is Chen Qiang, and he is the one who outperformed the Japanese in Minyuan Stadium a few days ago!"

The senior brother nodded, and then asked, "Why did Jin Hong go up to compete with him?" Isn't it competitive again? ”

"Senior brother, Senior Brother Zhao, he has already lost once. But Senior Brother Zhao didn't believe in evil, he felt that the light function had won Chen Qiang's Western sports, so he pulled Chen Qiang to compete in the second game. "Someone told the senior brother about what happened.

The senior brother frowned.

"Jin Hong is still so reckless! However, Jin Hong is also right, our national art is naturally much stronger than Western sports! The elder brother pursed his lips proudly, and then looked at the track.

……

Chen Qiang and Zhao Jinhong stood on the starting line again, this time Zhao Jinhong did not stand there upright with his back hands, he gave up the previous "worldly master" style of pretending, but his legs were slightly bent one after the other, and the center of gravity of the upper body was also lowered, almost a standing starting posture.

It can be seen that Zhao Jinhong, who has lost once, does not seem to repeat the mistakes of the past, and his attitude in this competition is obviously much more serious.

Chen Qiang knew that no matter how serious Zhao Jinhong's attitude was, the result of the race was already doomed, and he could not win a world-class sprinter like Chen Qiang, even if he changed the starting method, the standing start would still be much slower than the squatting start, otherwise the 100-meter sprint champion of the 1896 Olympic Games would not be Thomas Burke.

Zhao Jinhong didn't understand track and field at all, and he didn't understand this at all, otherwise he wouldn't have relied on learning light skills to challenge Chen Qiang's sprint. Zhao Jinhong only felt that once he became serious, he would definitely be able to defeat Chen Qiang.

With a sound of "bang", the gong sounded, and the two of them started quickly again and rushed out of the starting line. However, the result was the same as last time, Chen Qiang led all the way from the start to the finish.

After crossing the finish line, Chen Qiang looked at Zhao Jinhong, who was depressed, and sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Zhao, I agreed!" Chen Qiang hugged his fist at Zhao Jinhong.

Zhao Jinhong was still in a state of confusion, he didn't expect that he would lose to Chen Qiang despite his best efforts.

Zhao Jinhong has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and it can be said that he has practiced three times in winter and three times in summer, especially light skills, he has worked hard, and he has fallen on his heels in order to practice light skills. Zhao Jinhong thought that he was the best among young people, but losing to Chen Qiang today was like a hammer, which crushed Zhao Jinhong's confidence.

At this time, Zhao Jinhong began to doubt for the first time whether the national art he had practiced for many years was useful, and if it was really useful, why the light skills he had practiced for more than ten years would lose to a "Western sports".

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Jin Hong, come back quickly!" ”

Zhao Jinhong woke up violently, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a flat-headed man in his thirties.

"Big brother!" Zhao Jinhong opened his mouth and shouted.

The senior brother nodded at Zhao Jinhong, then stepped forward, came to Chen Qiang's face, still hugged his fists, and said: "Chen Jianjiang, the contemptible Zhenwu Guoshu Pavilion Gu Tianzhi, just now my junior brother Zhao Jinhong was offended, and I hope that Chen Jianjiang Haihan." ”

"Mr. Gu is polite, let's just learn from each other, sports competitions, there are losses and wins, it's normal, Mr. Zhao don't take it to heart." Chen Qiang said.

"That's what Jian Chen said." Gu Tianzhi smiled slightly, and then said, "I don't know if the contemptible person has a chance, can he compete with Jian Chen?" ”

Only then did Chen Qiang understand that this senior brother had come to avenge his junior brother.

"The junior brother loses, the senior brother is out, the routine of martial arts, I don't know if the senior brother loses, will the master be out, and then it will be the master's turn to be the master's ......" Chen Qiang thought to himself in his heart.

I only heard Gu Tianzhi continue: "Jian Chen has already run several games in a row, if you feel tired, you might as well take a rest first, I can wait for Jian Chen to rest well, and then compete." ”

When Gu Tianzhi spoke, he unconsciously revealed the demeanor of a martial arts master.

"No, I'm not tired." Chen Qiang replied with a smile.

Competing with ordinary people, Chen Qiang doesn't have to do his best at all, just run and run. The intensity of this kind of competition is not even comparable to Chen Qiang's training on weekdays, so there is no physical exertion.

And that Zhao Jinhong, although he has practiced light skills, his sprinting level is not much stronger than ordinary people, and Chen Qiang won the competition without much effort, and now Chen Qiang is still full of physical strength.

However, Chen Qiang still asked: "May I ask Mr. Gu, you are also a master of light skills?" ”

"The master can't talk about it!" Gu Tianzhi shook his head with a smile: "But when I was young, I worshipped a few masters, and I practiced light skills for a while!" ”

"Mr. Gu, the light skills of national art and the sprinting of track and field are actually two different things, and this is not comparable...... Chen Qiang intends to explain again.

Gu Tianzhi, like Zhao Jinhong, didn't eat this at all, and he opened his mouth to interrupt Chen Qiang's words: "General Chen, you don't need to explain more. I don't know about Western sports, and I don't think Chen Jianjun has ever studied Chinese martial arts, right? I'm here to compete with you, firstly, for the sake of my Zhenwu Guoshu Museum's face, and secondly, to prove to the world that our Guoshu is not worse than Western sports. ”

"Modern sports is modern sports, traditional national art is traditional national art, both have their own strengths, why do you have to use the liberation of heavy trucks and cars to fight for speed, how can this person not explain it!" Chen Qiang was quite helpless in his heart.

But in the next second, Chen Qiang suddenly remembered an incident, that is, the "dispute between Tuyang and foreign sports" in modern China.

At the beginning of the 20th century, modern sports were introduced to China, including track and field, gymnastics, basketball, football, tennis, etc., because these sports were introduced to China from European and American countries, so they were called "foreign sports".

The "soil sports" refers to the traditional Chinese sports represented by martial arts.

The controversy between Turkish and foreign sports was actually a debate at that time about whether China should follow the development path of traditional national sports or the development of Western sports.

The controversy over local and foreign sports first began in the later period of the "May Fourth" New Culture Movement, when the debate over Chinese and Western cultures was very fierce, and it also affected sports.

In 1922, the promulgation of the "Nonxu school system" clearly stipulated that schools should have physical education classes, and physical education classes should be based on athletics, ball games and other sports, and then China's first batch of physical educators returned to China, coupled with the Far Eastern Games, the National Games, the North China Games, the Central China Games, etc., China's "foreign sports" have been greatly developed.

However, the "local sports" represented by the national art have always advocated replacing "foreign sports" with "local sports", and those who advocate local sports believe that China's sports blindly imitate the West, vainly belittle themselves, and have gone into the wrong way. At present, the country is bullied by foreign powers, and the country is trapped in poverty and turmoil, and the Western-style movement is not necessary to learn, and it cannot be learned. Therefore, we should break away from foreign sports and find a unique way of sports in China.

At the same time, the people who advocate "local sports" also have a deviation in their understanding of the essence and value of sports, and the positioning of sports in their hearts is a means to get rid of illness and prolong life, strengthen muscles and bones, nothing more.

In fact, physical exercise is only a part of sports, and those who advocate "local sports" do not understand the role of sports in social development, nor do they understand the role of sports in serving politics, economy and diplomacy, let alone that sports can enhance the people's sense of national honor and enhance national self-confidence.

In order to replace "foreign sports" with "local sports", domestic martial artists also created "new martial arts" to advocate the development of the quintessence of the country, which is also to cater to the political needs of some retro schools in China. In this regard, Mr. Lu Xun published an article in the magazine "New Youth", believing that this was advocating feudal culture and opposing the acceptance of new democratic and scientific ideas, and that there was a shadow of the Boxer Rebellion in those years.

In particular, in 1932, Liu Changchun represented the Chinese to participate in the Olympic Games for the first time, but the result was a defeat in the competition, which greatly stung the national self-esteem of the Chinese people, and also triggered the "Turkish sports" to attack the "foreign sports".

For example, someone published an article in a newspaper saying that "we should abandon the sports competitions that imitated the West in the past." From now on, it is not necessary to participate in the World Olympic Games, but it is also necessary to resolutely leave the Far East Olympic Games. Instead, we should take martial arts and health preservation as the main body, and come to a "stay away from foreign sports and advocate local sports".

There are also people who have designed a development outline for local sports, such as systematically organizing and teaching Chinese health preservation techniques, and teaching martial arts skills such as fists, feet, sticks and sticks in schools. Imagine that in the last physical education class, the students went to the equipment room to pull not basketball and football, but swords, guns, swords and halberds and other eighteen kinds of blades, and then everyone took a red tassel gun to poke and poke, the picture is also quite shocking.

Objectively analyzed, these advocates of "local sports" seem to be for the survival and development of the nation, but they do not know that modern China has long been involved in the torrent of world development, and continuing to play its own game is undoubtedly another kind of closing off the country.

Because a certain sport loses to others, or is not good at a certain sport, so the whole country does not engage in this sport, and only engages in the sport that it is good at, then what is the difference with an ostrich sticking its head into the soil!

Moreover, worldwide sports competitions are inherently part of international exchanges, and both strong and weak nations strive to express their supremacy and unremitting self-improvement through sports competitions, making them an important means of awakening, stimulating, and revitalizing national consciousness.

This point, even in 2019, there are still many people who don't understand it, and many people don't realize it. A street fighting Internet writer wrote a book about sports in the Republic of China, and then a large group of people in the book review said, what is the use of sports in the Republic of China? The Republic of China is so backward, who will know if it wins the gold medal? I can't eat enough, what kind of sports are I doing? The country is in danger, and it should go to the battlefield to fight the invaders! Sports can't save lives, so they shouldn't be done!

According to this set of theories, Mr. Mei Lanfang should not sing Peking Opera, Mr. Guo Moruo should not devote himself to literature, Mr. Xu Beihong should not engage in painting, Mr. Xian Xinghai should not study music, and Mr. Hou Baolin should not talk about cross talk. Because the common people can't eat enough, because they can't go to the battlefield to fight the invaders, because they can't save their lives!

Those big bulls of the Republic of China from all walks of life should also go to the battlefield with guns and fight hard with the invaders, desperately counting one by one, as for the other industries of the country, there is no need to develop at all!

A country is originally composed of all walks of life, and some people may do great things and some people do very humble things, but everyone is using their own methods to contribute to the prosperity of the country. Shouldn't athletes exist because they can't make the country rich and strong, and they can't beat the aggressor?

Even in 2019, Chinese people could not understand the role of sports, and they all had this idea that sports were useless, and people in 1931 did not understand it even more.

Although there are also many Chinese martial artists who like the sports imported from the West, there are also many traditional martial artists, but they must oppose it in every foreign sport, no matter what kind of sport it is, as long as it is "foreign sports", then it must be opposed!

It is precisely for this reason that today's Chen Qiang's exhibition match that interacts with the audience has inexplicably become a duel between national martial arts light skills and track and field sprinting!

So Zhao Jinhong can lose, but he can't lose the light skills of the national arts, and the face of the Zhenwu Guoshu Pavilion can't lose.

So the senior brother Gu Tianzhi personally went out! Although the matter was provoked by Zhao Jinhong, but now, the senior brother must personally defend the face of the Zhenwu Guoshu Pavilion, and even more importantly, defend the Guoshu!

Chen Qiang felt that he had really suffered an unwarranted disaster.

"I'm just here to do a marketing campaign, interact with passers-by, and help the boss sell a medicine by the way, why is this kind of thing on the stall! Running to the temple fair to perform a sprint, you can rise to the contest between national arts and Western sports. Why am I so black! ”

Chen Qiang looked at Senior Brother Gu Tianzhi helplessly, with the current attitude of Gu Tianzhi, this competition is inevitable.

And even if Chen Qiang defeats Gu Tianzhi, maybe there will be other light masters who will challenge Chen Qiang one after another.

Although Chen Qiang is a supporter of "foreign sports", he does not want to see the situation evolve into a contest between national martial arts and track and field sprinting. Chen Qiang doesn't want to be a snake spirit, if this challenger comes to give away people's heads like a gourd baby saving his grandfather, he can't stand it.

The best way, naturally, is that Chen Qiang released the water and deliberately lost to Gu Tianzhi, so that Qinggong won the sprint, and then there would be nothing.

But Chen Qiang can't do that, because he is an athlete and he has the dignity of an athlete!

Athletes should pursue victory, which is the responsibility of an athlete, the respect for the athlete's profession, and the respect for the challenger.

"That's it, let's compare! Maybe if this senior brother loses, his brain will be enlightened! Chen Qiang walked to the starting line.
