Chapter 52: A Lifetime of Pride

We don't know if Chen Guoqiang owes Dongfeng or not, but he let a Dongfeng van pull away that day, the car of the chengguan.

It is said that during the visit of a foreign head of state to China, the imperial capital strictly forbade begging artists on the streets, and the scene of our classmates of Zhen Guoqiang kneeling and crying happened to be seen by the patrolling chengguan members.

And then...... Hehe, you get the idea.

Chen Guoqiang had a lot of strange things during his time in sports school, and he was once seen sitting in the middle of the playground with a small aluminum alloy pot on the hottest afternoon of summer, and a shabby magazine called "China Qigong" was placed in front of him.

Someone asked him curiously: Dude, what are you doing?

Chen Guoqiang replied: Practice, heaven and man induction technique......

Chen Guoqiang's wonders are not only reflected in daily life, but also in learning and training.

Chen Guoqiang stayed in the sports school for three years, but he was obsessed with the world of martial arts and the myth of qigong, not only did he fail to achieve "divine skills", but also abandoned almost all the courses of the martial arts major.

So much so that when he reported the performance at the end of the course, Chen Guoqiang couldn't even complete a set of the most basic Shaolin Changquan, and became the first legendary figure in the more than 70 years since the establishment of the sports school for three years but could not get a secondary school graduation certificate!

It is said that after Chen Guoqiang dropped out of physical education school, he also reflected on it painfully, but the direction of his reflection was wrong.

He didn't look back at what he was wrong like ordinary people when something went wrong. He didn't even think about whether it was worth it for him to delay his studies for these illusory things and end up in such a field.

On the contrary, Chen Guoqiang decided that it was the dregs of China's 5,000-year-old culture, and let himself waste three years of youth in vain, and it was the traditional Chinese culture that harmed him!

Maybe he doesn't know that none of these things he is obsessed with can be related to traditional culture!

Because whether it is martial arts or qigong, it is widely spread among the people, in fact, it has been a matter of nearly half a century.

Don't mention martial arts, that's just a rendering of literary works! In the feudal era when those in power were afraid of "chivalry and forbiddenness", there was no soil for heroes to survive.

And now this so-called qigong sounds like it is related to Taoist health preservation that originated in the Wei and Jin dynasties. In fact, it was the spiritual conjecture of an old cadre in Hebei who had been ill for a long time in the 80s based on his "clinical experience" that he was cured from a certain incurable time.

Of course, the reason why qigong was able to cause a boom in China in the last century was by no means something that this veteran cadre could do on his own.

Among them, there are also Yan Xin, Zhang Baosheng, Hu Wanlin, Zhang Xiangyu, Tian Ruisheng, Li Mouzhi, Di Yuming, and Wang Lin, who was "feathered" in the supervision hospital after the "military liberation" of his beloved disciples not long ago...... and a large number of masters who were later identified as liars or cult leaders, for personal gain.

About the essence of martial arts and qigong, people who have a little common sense in life today know it.

But at this stage at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, although there were very few people who believed in martial arts and qigong, there were also very few who knew the details.

Unfortunately, we Chen Guoqiang are part of that group of people who are convinced but don't know the details.

He believed, he hated, and he hated wrong......

Since then, Chen Guoqiang has gone from one extreme to the other. He went from being a fanatic of "traditional culture" to an extremist of counter-culture.

While learning Japanese aikido, which is more absurd than martial arts and qigong, he frantically denigrated traditional Chinese martial arts, and even went to Cangzhou, Hebei Province to challenge a certain master of Bajiquan.

As for the outcome of that challenge?

Hehe, anyone with a little fighting common sense knows it! Aikido, a broadcast gymnastics that is more beneficial to the old man and the old lady than Tai Chi, is naturally not an opponent of Bajiquan, which is known for its fierceness.

In that battle, Chen Guoqing was seriously injured and hospitalized for half a year before recovering.

After being discharged from the hospital, Chen Guoqiang learned from the pain and resolutely gave up the Japanese martial arts, which have a deep connection with traditional Chinese culture, and turned to Taekwondo, the quintessence of South Korea, which has nothing to do with Chinese culture! (hmm...... Chen Guoqiang believes that South Korea does not use Chinese characters, and it must have nothing to do with China culturally. )

Chen Guoqiang finally succeeded this time! After going to South Korea to study taekwondo for five years, Chen Guoqiang came to Cangzhou, Hebei Province again, and in a senior activity on the outskirts of the city, he kicked the Bajiquan master five or six years ago to the ground in three rounds, and he was ashamed!

It needs to be noted here: When Chen Guoqiang challenged last time, the Bajiquan master was 58 years old, and he was 64 years old at this time, exactly the same age as Chen Guoqiang and his grandfather had cerebral thrombosis.

However, Chen Guoqiang doesn't care about this, and defeating the Bajiquan master, who is known as the first master of Hebei martial arts, is the pride of his life as a martial artist! Even though he was sentenced to 9 months in prison for beating an elderly man to his minor injuries and paid 200,000 yuan in compensation, Chen Guoqiang still felt very proud.

But his pride didn't last long!

In the summer of the second year after he was released from prison, when the 14-year-old grandson of the Baji boxing master came to the imperial capital to seek revenge on Chen Guoqiang during the summer vacation, and broke one of Chen Guoqiang's legs and four ribs, Chen Guoqiang's face no longer had the pride and ambition of the past.

As the saying goes: after one thing, one wisdom!

After experiencing this unforgettable lesson, Chen Guoqiang finally grew up, and he finally realized his problem!

In the lonely ward of the hospital, Chen Guoqiang gave himself a mouth with tears, and he choked up:

"Damn, I'm a stupid X! In East Asia, which country's culture has not been influenced by China? What is the difference between me learning martial arts from them and learning to play chess with a stinky chess basket? ”

A few days later, Chen Guoqiang dragged his plaster body and crutches, endured the pain all over his body, and resolutely walked to the visa office of the Israeli embassy.

That year, Chen Guoqiang walked out of East Asia for the first time in his life, and experienced for the first time how beautiful the national uniform with white skin and high nose bridge was!

At the moment when he looked at the world, he suddenly felt that all his years had been in vain, and his frog at the bottom of the well was so ridiculous.

That year, in a remote village in Israel's Gaza Strip, Chen Guoqiang risked his life to be targeted by the Israeli military to enter a fighting class run by Palestinians, where he learned the peerless martial arts he had spent his life looking for: the Israeli Maha ......
