Chapter 62: Apprenticeship

(I really hope you will collect more, recommend more, click more, thank you very much!) )

The DH District Amateur Sports School Training Hall is a comprehensive training hall with a length of about 80 meters and a width of about 40 meters. There are basketball, badminton, table tennis, and gymnastics training venues in the www.biquge.info hall. There are also five rows of staircase-type simple stands around the museum, which can seat about 1,000 people.

This is a Saturday, and Teacher Chen's induction ceremony will be held in the training hall.

The training hall has been set up. On the north wall in the middle of the training hall is a red monogram with the inscription: Tai Chi Master Mr. Chen Tianxun Acceptance Ceremony.

This line of large characters was written by Mr. Chen himself with a brush and then printed on red cloth. The font is a line of calligraphy, much like the font of the famous calligrapher Mi Fu in the Song Dynasty, but it is more open than that font, more charming, with a strong sense of the times.

In front of the five rows of stands below the monogram is a table with a flower basket and a tea tray. There is a teapot and two teacups in the tea tray. A chair sits to the right of the table. Five meters away from the front of the table, dozens of people stood in front of the table, mainly the leaders in charge of the district sports committee, the teachers of the sports school, and the students of the tai chi and martial arts classes, Li Nan and Zhuang Zhuang also stood in the crowd. It can be said that the venue was very simple in layout.

Teacher Chen is a low-key person, and he didn't want to engage in the apprenticeship ceremony, so he simply accepted the strong and strong. However, the leaders of the sports committee felt that Mr. Chen was a famous Tai Chi master in the country and one of the heirs of Chen's Taijiquan, and there should still be an apprenticeship ceremony to prove that there was a successor to Chen's Taijiquan. To this end, Mr. Chen asked the ceremony to be as simple as possible, not extravagant and wasteful, and to be able to explain the problem.

The setup of this venue could not have been simpler, with a chair throughout the venue and everyone else standing. The place where the money is spent is a monogram and a flower basket, and a certificate. It doesn't add up to more than 300 yuan.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the ceremony began on time. Teacher Zhu walked to the front of the stage wearing a festive red cheongsam, and as the host of the ceremony, she officially announced: "The apprenticeship ceremony of Mr. Chen Tianxun, a national Tai Chi master, starts now. Everyone in the room applauded.

"Please take a seat on the stage." Teacher Zhu said, followed by another round of applause.

Teacher Chen, dressed in a gray coat, walked up to the stage and bowed to everyone amid applause, and then sat down on a chair next to the table.

Mr. Zhu began to introduce all the titles of Mr. Chen, in addition to the presidents and vice presidents of associations at all levels, he is also a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC and vice chairman of the CPPCC District. He also introduced his past achievements, such as being the champion of the city, provincial and national taijiquan and sanda competitions, being the judge of the city, provincial and national taijiquan and sanda competitions, creating and compiling 128 styles of taijiquan, compiling and publishing a book on sanda techniques, and publishing nearly 100 academic papers. He has led thousands of students, most of whom have won the top three in taijiquan or sanda competitions at all levels.

Li Nan stood there and listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Teacher Chen was amazing. It is incredible that a person with only a primary school education can create a whole set of Taijiquan, publish a book, and publish a hundred papers.

It was also the first time that Li Nan heard that Mr. Chen also had an administrative position in a government department, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC and a vice chairman of the District CPPCC. This is not counted, the key is that there is still room for improvement, and it is also possible to become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial CPPCC or vice chairman of the CPPCC in the future.

Hearing this, Li Nan admired Teacher Chen even more.

Teacher Zhu began to introduce Li Zhuang, a student of Shuiqiao Primary School, a student of the Tai Chi training class, and the champion of the basic skills competition of the training class.

Li Nan felt a little funny when he heard it, Zhuang Zhuang really has nothing to introduce.

"Next, please come to the stage to apprentice." Teacher Zhu said. Li Zhuang walked to the front in a student uniform and stood in front of Teacher Chen.

"Li Zhuang bowed to Teacher Chen." Teacher Zhu said.

Li Zhuang bowed deeply to Teacher Chen, and then said, "Master is above, Li Zhuang is below, from today onwards I will worship you as a teacher, and I implore the master for advice." ”

Teacher Chen nodded and said, "Okay! I will take you as an apprentice from today. You have to study hard, train hard, and strive to practice all the techniques of Chen's Taijiquan as soon as possible. As he spoke, he took out a big red certificate from his bosom and read after opening it, "From today onwards, Li Zhuang has been admitted as an apprentice by Mr. Chen Tianxun, and he hereby proves it." Awarded by Chen Tianxun. After reading, the certificate was awarded to Li Zhuang, and Zhuang Zhuang took the certificate and bowed to Mr. Chen again to thank him!

"Ask the apprentice to offer tea to the master." Teacher Zhu said again.

Zhuang Zhuang walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured half a cup of tea, then handed it to Teacher Chen with both hands and said, "Master, the apprentice will give you tea!" ”

Teacher Chen took the teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "Good apprentice! Then he returned the teacup to Zhuangzhuang, who put the teacup on the table.

"Please send the master back to his place." Teacher Zhu continued.

Zhuang Zhuang walked to the master's side, grabbed Mr. Chen's arm and helped him stand up, and then walked all the way to the crowd.

Teacher Zhu glanced at the audience and continued to preside: "Next, please ask Mr. Chen Tianxun to give a speech on accepting apprentices. ”

Teacher Chen walked to the stage again and said very happily: "Thank you very much to the superiors, the teachers of the sports school and the students of the training class for coming to participate in my apprenticeship ceremony. Everyone applauded warmly, he waved his hands in front of his chest to signal everyone to stop applauding, and then said, "I am a poor child who came out of Chenjiagou, and I have no ability, but I have a body of martial arts." After so many years of hard work under the party's cultivation and education, he has made some achievements and become a so-called Tai Chi master, I really dare not be a master! ”

As he spoke, Mr. Chen's eyes moistened, and his circles began to redden. Once again, everyone gave a round of applause. After a pause, he said, "I am very excited today, and I have cried in public for the first time. Applause rang out again.

Teacher Chen stabilized his emotions and continued: "However, I have the ability to take care of Chen's Taijiquan, and this ability must be passed on no matter how big or small!" I couldn't let it end in my hands, so I came up with the idea of taking in an apprentice. After investigation, I think Li Zhuang is a very good child, smart, kind, sensible, tolerant, and a talent that can be cultivated. Therefore I took him as an apprentice, intending to pass on to him all my skills. He looked at everyone and suddenly said, "Do you agree?" ”

"Agreed!" Those present were almost unanimous. Then there was a round of applause.

"Of course, I will continue to accept apprentices in the future, but not too many. My ability and energy are limited, I can't afford the training and education of so many apprentices, and I don't want rebels among the apprentices, so I can only focus on quality and ignore quantity! ”

The applause rang out again, and it seemed louder and louder than before.

"I also hope that all teachers in the sports school, especially the teachers in the martial arts class, should educate and train their students well, and pay attention to the cultivation of "morality", which is the most important. ”

There was another round of applause.

"I'm done talking, thank you again for coming." Mr. Chen folded his hands and nodded slightly to thank everyone!

Mr. Zhu walked out and continued to announce the following agenda: "I welcome Director Liang of the District Sports Committee to deliver an important speech with warm applause. ”

Amid everyone's applause, a middle-aged man in his forties in a formal suit stepped forward, cleared his throat, raised his hand and pinched his tie, and began to speak after the applause stopped. He looked around at the audience and said: "I just listened to Master Chen's acceptance speech, which has benefited me a lot, and inspired by his speech, I mainly talk about three meanings: one is congratulations, the second is hope, and the third is inheritance ??????and development."
