"The long-awaited "Tai Chi" was first released in our province, and the effect was no less than that of an atomic bomb explosion. Countless adults and children were impressed by the movie's fighting scenes of swords and shadows and the unpredictable Tai Chi Kung Fu. It seemed like overnight, The streets and alleys of Henan are filled with the song 'When all the blood is gone, Huachen Yutu'..."
"A junior high school audience submitted an article to this newspaper and wrote: 'Every day after class, there are 109 Prince Duan and 385 Yang Yuqian wandering and fighting on the playground, leaving more than 70 Chen Shaomei throwing stones.'"
""Tai Chi" was released in our province for one week, and the number of moviegoers exceeded the historical data, and all theaters in Zhengzhou were full!"
"Two county-level company representatives fought over the right to screen "Tai Chi" first. The provincial company called on them to act rationally and will make reasonable arrangements for the distribution of copies!"
"well!"
During the break in a middle school in Zhengzhou, Liu Xiaowen, who never liked reading newspapers, took a newspaper and relished it, and then sighed inexplicably.
"Xiaowen, let's go!"
"Let's go play on the playground. Today I am Yang Yuqian! I have already mastered that move!"
The friend came over excitedly, but Liu Xiaowen looked at him deeply and said, "Fat man, don't you think this kind of game is childish?"
"Didn't you have fun yesterday?"
"Yesterday was yesterday, but today is different. I am fourteen years old, no longer a child! I thought about it all night last night, and I think I have found the meaning of life..."
Liu Xiaowen was bright and serious: "I want to learn martial arts!"
Hiss!
The friend took a sip of spicy soup and asked, "Where are you going to learn martial arts?"
"Of course it's Chenjiagou! Didn't you know that Chenjiagou is in Wen County?"
As he spoke, Liu Xiaowen became cautious, took out a simple hand-drawn map from his desk, and said: "Look, I drew this according to the map book at home. Wen County is not far from Zhengzhou, and it can be reached by bus." Here, the ticket price is only 2 yuan and 43 cents!”
"Do you have money?"
"I saved 1 yuan as New Year's money, and then took 2 yuan from home. In addition to the train tickets, I could also buy food."
"Well, then where did you go and live?"
"I went to become an apprentice. The master took me in and lived in the master's house, where I had food to eat. I heard that I had to be an apprentice for three years, working for the master, and then teach martial arts. Three years later, I was 17 years old. When I’m young and strong, I study for three more years, and when I’m 20 years old, I become a master!”
My friend was also very excited when he heard this, and asked again: "But Chenjiagou doesn't pass on surnames, can I accept you?"
"Then I will follow Yang Yuqian's example and live outside. I will build a shack and dig a cellar. Can I still starve to death if I have hands and feet? Let me ask you, will you go?"
"Well……"
The little friend was hesitant, but he was also cruel and gritted his teeth: "Go! I want to be a master too!"
"Good brother!"
Liu Xiaowen grabbed his hand and said excitedly: "How about we become sworn sworn friends? We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day!"
"Okay, okay! You are two months older than me, so you are the eldest brother!" The little friend was also excited.
"Second brother!"
"Brother!"
…
"Two junior high school students in this city did something ridiculous because they were obsessed with "Tai Chi". They took their family's money and food stamps, ran away together, and left a letter saying that they wanted to become martial arts masters.
Fortunately, the parents discovered it in time and intercepted it at the bus station.
I would like to remind all friends that "Tai Chi" is just an entertainment martial arts film, which is very different from reality. Don't take it too seriously!"
The appearance of the first real martial arts film in mainland China had an unimaginable impact on the common people. From adults to children, it planted the seeds of martial arts dreams in their hearts and opened up the Chinese people's interest in "martial arts".
love and desire.
These days, it is more popular to run away from home.
I don't know how many people watched "Shaolin Temple" and went to Songshan Mountain to learn martial arts. Most of them were stopped midway, but some were not stopped or had family support. One of them was named Wang Baoqiang.
Of course, Wang Baoqiang has not yet been born, and "Shaolin Temple" has also been usurped by "Tai Chi".
Chenjiagou in Wen County, Henan Province has become a place that young people yearn for. It is not easy for children to leave, but adults can, especially those in Henan that are close to each other. They can just come here with a bag.
…
Chenjiagou is located in Zhaobao Town, Jiaozuo Wen County.
There is a mountain nearby called Qingfengling, and there is a deep ditch running north to south in the village. The Chen family has a prosperous population, so it is called Chenjiagou, and there are some other surnames.
In later generations, a Tai Chi-themed 4A-level tourist attraction was built here. Now there is nothing there. It is just an ordinary poor village. People drink sweet potato leaf soup and eat bran noodles and wild vegetable wowotou.
There is no doubt that Chen Style Tai Chi has a legacy.
During the Great Famine in 1942, almost all of the more than 4,000 people in Chenjiagou fled the famine. After liberation, these people returned to their hometowns one after another, but very few of those who returned knew Tai Chi.
At that time, there was a man named Chen Zhaopi, who was born in 1893. When Nanjing fell, he taught swordsmanship in Fan Tinglan's army of the local anti-Japanese armed forces. After liberation, he served as a public official. In order to pass on the martial arts, he retired early and returned to the village.
Four children were chosen. These are the "Four King Kongs" of Chen's Tai Chi. They are all real. I won't write the names. I only mentioned that one of the King Kong's sons is called Wang Zhanhai. He has a good relationship with Jack Ma and opened a company in partnership.
Specializes in Tai Chi.
Under the guidance of Ma Yun, Guo Guangchang and Liu Chuanzhi also started practicing. A group of big guys wore white Tai Chi suits to maintain health...
Chen Style Tai Chi was also very commercialized in later generations, not to mention the second brother of Shaolin Temple.
But now we are really poor, and we have made great efforts to continue Tai Chi. For example, in order to let everyone practice boxing, we even linked boxing practice with work points. People in the village came to boxing in order to earn work points.
The commotion outside did not disturb this peaceful little village at all.
Not to mention Chenjiagou, even the movie theaters in Wen County haven't shown "Tai Chi" yet, but Jiaozuo has already shown it, so the excitement is huge.
This is an ordinary day. The young and middle-aged people have gone to work in the fields. The old people are sitting at the door, weaving bamboo baskets, picking up the soles of their shoes, and talking about their parents' shortcomings - this is the true face of the vast rural areas in the 1980s. Chen Qi is in
The life we ​​live in the capital has already separated us from class.
Suddenly, two young men in their 20s came in from the entrance of the village, both of them carrying big bags.
When they came closer, they took a few glances, then they all knelt down and kowtowed without saying anything.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
"What did they say? What did they say?"
"Become a teacher...what kind of teacher should I be apprenticed to? Learn Tai Chi??"
The old man jumped up in fright and looked at each other. Everyone in the village had just picked up Tai Chi. Why did people from outside also come to learn Tai Chi? How did they know?
Just as I was wondering, I heard another roaring sound, and a rare jeep came speeding through the dust and smoke on the dirt road. It entered the village and stopped in front of it. As soon as the door opened, a few guys got out.
"Alas!"
"What are you doing again?"
“City, city leaders?!”
Not to mention the mood of the old people, the city leaders looked at this poor village as if they were in a dream. They were sleeping peacefully, but suddenly something fell from the sky!
They may not have the experience of making political achievements in later generations, but they also have the sensitivity of being an official, knowing that this is a free fortune!
(No more...)
