Chapter 103: An Interview with Ming Pao

Li Tailong's plight frightened the media and martial arts circles in Xiangjiang, and due to the protests of Mugabi's agent, as well as the intervention of Arum and the three major professional boxing organizations, the Xiangjiang government had to order the Xiangjiang police to come forward and give a stern warning to the Xiang brothers.

The Xiang brothers were honest.

There is no one in the Xiangjiang martial arts world to challenge Wang Lei or Mugabi anymore.

However, there were also doubts about the match between Wang Lei and Mugabi. Media reporters who watched Mugabi beat Lee Tae-long to death like a dog in less than a round at the scene raised questions.

Can Wang Lei beat Mugabi?

Wang Lei was speechless about this.

Nima, is my brother a boxing champion?

He defeated Benitez, Julian Jackson, McCollum and Duran, all of whom were not as strong as Mugabi, to earn six titles and unify the 147-pound welterweight and 154-pound super welterweight divisions.

Can't all of you Xiangjiang media reporters understand boxing matches, and can't you see that my brother's strength is very strong?

How did Arum's company promote and hype to the people of Xiangjiang in the past three months?

Fortunately, at this time, the front page of the Oriental Daily published Yang Wen's report.

Yang Wen wrote down the conflict between Wang Lei and Zhang Minghe of the White Crane faction without any fiction, and also published a photo of Wang Lei knocking Zhang Minghe unconscious with one punch.

Probably Wang Lei's "threat" had an effect, Yang Wen not only honestly reported the conflict and the process, but also made the identity of Ni Zhen, the troublemaker behind it, public.

In addition, Yang Wen also flattered Wang Lei's strength, praising Wang Lei as rare in the world, almost at the level of a lonely monk seeking defeat or sweeping the floor in martial arts novels.

Wang Lei couldn't help blushing after seeing it.

At the end of the article, Yang Wen said conclusively: In this match between Wang Lei and Mugabi, Wang Lei can definitely defeat Mugabi and defend the glory of the Chinese!

Yang Wen's report published in the Oriental Daily can be regarded as a response to the Xiangjiang media's doubts about Wang Lei.

After all, Zhang Minghe of the White Crane Sect is a very active guy in the Xiangjiang martial arts world, and the White Crane Sect is only in the limelight in the Xiangjiang martial arts world.

There was a rule in the Xiangjiang martial arts world many years ago that if outsiders wanted to open a martial arts gym in Xiangjiang, they had to accept the challenge of the local martial arts gym in Xiangjiang and get their approval to open a martial arts gym in Xiangjiang.

The White Crane School Boxing Method is Zhang Minghe's master, and it was also brought to Xiangjiang by the previous generation of martial arts curators. At that time, Zhang Minghe's master accepted the challenge of dozens of curators in the Xiangjiang martial arts world in accordance with the rules, defeated several people, and won their recognition and respect.

After Zhang Minghe's master passed away, Zhang Minghe inherited the position of the director of the martial arts hall, and acted more arrogantly, and had conflicts and fights with other martial arts halls in Xiangjiang.

Although most people in the Xiangjiang martial arts world do not like Zhang Minghe's arrogant style, they still recognize his strength.

thinks that he can definitely be regarded as a first-class national arts master.

However, this first-class national martial arts master actually lasted less than a minute under Wang Lei's fist, and Wang Lei obviously didn't shoot with all his strength, just used the simplest jab attack to beat Zhang Minghe without the power to fight back, and finally knocked him unconscious with a heavy right hand.

How big will the gap between the actual combat level of national martial arts masters and professional boxers be?

After comparing the battle between Li Tailong and Mugabi, the people in the Xiangjiang martial arts world were at a loss.

Li Tailong is an old boy, not a master of national arts, but he has practiced Hong Boxing, and he is indeed invincible in the world of Xiangjiang Crazy Boy.

The name of the 426 double flower red stick is not something that can be awarded casually.

But such a person was almost killed by Mugabi on the spot, and it took less than a round.

The Xiangjiang martial arts community collectively lost its voice.

The Xiang brothers, who had been severely warned by the Xiangjiang government, also quieted down.

But the media in Hong Kong will not be silent.

Jin Yong personally contacted Ou Yangming and asked for Wang Lei to be interviewed by his Ming Pao newspaper.

Because Jin Yong did a favor in warning Ni Zhen about this, in order to repay the favor, Wang Lei, who was training at the Peninsula Hotel Health Club, gave the "Ming Pao" reporter an exclusive interview opportunity.

The reporter sent by Ming Pao to interview him is surnamed Nguyen Thanh Ji, who seems to be a polite and cultural person on the surface, but when he interviewed Wang Lei, he didn't talk much nonsense, and he got straight to the point as soon as he came up, and the problem had nothing to do with Mugabi's game.

"Mr. Boxer......"

"Just call me Wang Lei!"

"Okay, Wang Lei, hello!"

"Hello!"

"May I ask if the report in the Oriental Daily about your fight with Zhang Minghe of the White Crane Sect is true?"

"Facts."

"That report said that you stunned Zhang Minghe within a minute or the result of your subordinates' mercy, may I ask if you shoot with all your might, how long will it take to stun Zhang Minghe?"

"Two or three seconds, no more than ten seconds at most!"

"Is Zhang Minghe's strength too low, or is there too much gap between Chinese kung fu and boxing?"

"Don't say that, Chinese kung fu is not low in combat, my grandfather practiced Chinese kung fu, I have also practiced Chinese kung fu under the supervision of my grandfather since I was a child, and it has not been interrupted. If you report that I belittle the practicality of Chinese kung fu, my grandfather will beat me up. Although he is almost eighty years old, he is still very powerful. The bamboo stick in his hand that supervised my practice was never avoided when he tried to whip me, and I still can't. So don't say anything that disparages Chinese Kung Fu! ”

"Wow, it sounds like Ling Zu is a grandmaster-level Chinese kung fu master!"

"Indeed!"

"Since you also think that Chinese kung fu is not low in combat, why did you defeat Zhang Minghe so easily? Is Zhang Minghe's strength too low? ”

"The reason is very simple, my kung fu is played, Zhang Minghe's kung fu is practiced!"

"It's... Is there a difference between the two? ”

"As long as you are a real combat expert or an insider, you will understand what I say. At that time, Mr. Bruce Lee once used 'swimming' as a metaphor for the practicality of kung fu. I've been swimming in the water, and Zhang Minghe and many martial artists who claim to be masters only practice swimming on the shore and rarely go into the water. ”

"Understood, you mean that Zhang Minghe and these people don't just practice, right? But as far as I know, the masters of the Xiangjiang martial arts world often close their doors to each other! ”

"Close the door and talk, you've already said what the problem is. It's the same thing as working behind closed doors! ”

"Well, this is to avoid conflicts and take care of the face of peers, the masters of the Xiangjiang martial arts world are particular about martial virtues."

"What do you mean by martial virtue?"

"Martial virtue is to stop fighting for martial arts, don't use force in conflict with others, even if you use force, take humility first, and take care of other people's face."

"Then why did Zhang Minghe ask me to challenge?"

"This ......"

"I don't have the same understanding of martial arts as you. In my opinion, there are two kinds of so-called 'virtue', one is social morality or personal moral quality and morality. In this regard, we ask to be a good person, not to bully the weak, use violence against others for no reason, to put it bluntly, it is to teach you how to behave. The other kind of 'morality' refers to professional ethics, such as medical ethics and teacher ethics, the former requires 'saving lives and helping the wounded', and the latter requires 'respecting teachers and valuing education'. Different professions have different work ethic. The professional ethics of a martial artist is the same as the spirit of sportsmanship, that is, the only way is to fight, and to strive for victory with all his might, which is the greatest respect given to the opponent. Martial arts is not to stop fighting for martial arts, but to conquer, to kill, to kill, to kill people, to hurt people, and the purpose of its birth is to destroy the enemy and protect the safety of oneself and one's relatives. It is better to practice gymnastics and yoga than to strengthen the body, and it is better to become a monk and practice meditation if it is said that moral cultivation and spiritual elevation. The purpose of the birth of Wu is to conquer, to destroy the enemy, and to defend oneself. Therefore, Wude should be the only way to fight, and go all out to defeat the opponent, not for what humility is the first, and his subordinates are merciful to take care of the face of others, unless he really doesn't want to win! ”

Ruan Ji was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Well, Wang Lei, your point of view is really... It's fresh, but I have to say it sounds very reasonable...... Well, let's not talk about that. Returning to the question of the actual combat effectiveness of Chinese kung fu, how do you think Chinese kung fu needs to be practiced to improve its actual combat ability and compete in the ring with boxing, karate, and Muay Thai? ”

Wang Lei smiled and said: "This question has long been put forward by Mr. Bruce Lee, that is, to let Chinese kung fu enter the competitive ring, make Chinese kung fu professional, reward money and honor, compete in the ring with unified and open rules, and let Chinese kung fu go from closed doors to the public, and fight ten to dozens of games every year to determine the ultimate king." It's like a professional boxing and Muay Thai match. If such an event is successfully held and developed for more than ten years, Chinese kung fu will become more and more practical, and one day it will be able to compete with and even defeat foreign fighters such as professional boxing, Muay Thai, and extreme vacuum hands. In addition, I also suggest that such an event should not only be limited to Chinese kung fu, but also inclusive, so that those who practice boxing, wrestling or Muay Thai karate can also participate, only by comparison can we know the advantages and disadvantages, and can improve the actual combat of Chinese kung fu! ”

After a pause, Wang Lei said: "I hope that such a professional event can be jointly organized by the Xiangjiang martial arts community and named it 'K-1'." K is the first letter of Kung Fu and Kung Fu in English, and 1 means first or champion. If such a K-1 event can be successfully held in Hong Kong, I may consider participating in it and introducing it to the United States, inviting more American and European martial arts masters to participate in it, and helping to increase the international influence of 'K-1'!" ”

Ruan Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Wang Lei, your proposal is really good. If the Hong Kong martial arts community can really hold this kind of K-1 event, it will definitely improve the actual combat and international influence of Chinese kung fu, so that Chinese kung fu can completely get rid of the "showmanship" and "dance arts", and be truly recognized by kung fu fans around the world......"

Seeing Wang Lei looking at him with a strange expression, Ruan Ji's expression was a little embarrassed, and he said curtly: "I don't think that Chinese kung fu is 'tricky' or 'dance', it's just a little angry...... By the way, Wang Lei, do you think your proposal can be recognized by the Xiangjiang martial arts community? Will they do what you suggest for this open-rules K-1 event? ”

Wang Lei was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then replied: "This is really hard to say, it is estimated that it will be difficult!" ”
