Life is to kill a pig

Yesterday I took a few brothers who practiced martial arts to watch "The Great Master".
Not disappointed at all, but also solved a problem deep in my heart that I have been thinking about.

1. Questions about Master.
My master was born in Qinghai Huzhu in 1932. Before the age of 40, he had never been exposed to martial arts. At the age of 43, he had lung cancer. Later, he was taken in by Zhao Bin, the grandson of Yang Chengfu's nephew, and became the first disciple of Master Zhao Bin. -8 hours to practice qigong, 82 years old this year, she said that Master and Tai Chi saved her life, and she wants more people to learn boxing and practice boxing well. In the second half of her life, Master has been fulfilling this promise with her life. She has no education and no education. She is just a "lizi" person. Few people knew her a few years ago. People from Xinglimen, who touched her hands, admired her for having the true story, and some people vilified that she was just a representative of the new era of fitness. In the master's heart, these are all floating clouds. Whether praise or slander, she only lives for this round of promises all her life. She only practices boxing and teaches boxing all her life.
When I was 15 years old, I was a teacher who was a student of eight classics and learned boxing at the age of 28. I became a closed disciple of Master. I have been using images to record Master’s old age. I have always wanted to explore Master’s inner world. I want to know why she has been practicing boxing so hard for the rest of her life, and why she has been more strict and worried about her disciples in old age.
Although "The Great Master" talks about Ye Man, it highlights the highest spiritual realm of martial arts, showing the integrity of martial arts to save the country during the Republic of China and the courage of a group of boxers. There are three stages in martial arts: seeing yourself, seeing the world, and seeing all beings. The first is to understand the nature of the mind, the second is to understand the heaven and the earth, and the third is to save sentient beings. The reason why Ye Wen became a master of the generation is because he saw all beings and cultivated Taoism by martial arts.
Gong Er is the representative of the female heroes of the Republic of China. She has the shadow of Shi Jianqiao and Sun Jianyun on her body. It is a collection of many female heroes of the Republic of China, and also represents many rules and customs of traditional martial arts. I once met a descendant of a branch in Yangshimen. The old man had a good skill. He said that he hadn't met the right person, so he died and brought it into the coffin without passing it on. He was the same as Gong Er, in the second stage, he saw the heaven and the earth, but he did not see sentient beings.

2. Life is a killer knife.
For a martial artist, he retains a kind of glory in his heart, like a lamp, illuminating his beliefs. Many people practice and experience boxing in a corner every day. When they are old, they have realized the principles of boxing and gained some kung fu. In their lives, martial arts is a glorious thing, and they never show up.
But for most warriors, the biggest enemy is life itself.
Before the age of 40, Ye Wen could practice boxing well when he had no worries about food and clothing. After the age of 40, he was practicing boxing. In the face of the turmoil of the times, the embarrassment of life, the drag of family, and the temptation of emotion, he still maintains his inner glory and faith. Gong Er, Ma San, and Yi Xian Tian can all become masters of the first generation, but they are stuck at different stages.
In the face of life, many warriors can't pass the first hurdle, knowing the truth. Life is a pig-killing knife, constantly eating away your willpower and squandering your life direction. Family, career, emotions, money, reputation, and many temptations make a warrior fall into the quagmire of life unable to extricate himself. The so-called masters of modern martial arts are everywhere, but they all have fatal weaknesses. Of course, the spirit of martial arts is gone. Today’s masters say how many awards they have won, how many challengers they have defeated, and how many show-style arena competitions they have won. They are active in the media every day and earn “face”. Today’s “masters” in martial arts are Come out like this.
A master who is immersed in life has no soul.

The first step in martial arts practice is to be aware of your mind, and you can see yourself clearly only when you emerge from the surface of life. Master's life has been like a day for forty years. She couldn't beat the thunder. With inner strength and daily practice, she conquered herself in life and made her martial arts career in the second half of her life. Always remember, there will be reverberations.

The Grandmaster quotes

  • [last lines]

    Ip Man: They say I spread wing chung throughout the world. I hope that's true. I didn't do it to acquire renown. The martial arts should be open to all, everyone should walk the same route. It all comes down to two words: Horizontal, Vertical.

  • Gong Er: This opera of mine, applauded or not, will play on to the end. I asked you here to bring things to a close and say what needs to be said.

    Ip Man: Are you going somewhere?

    Gong Er: We have a saying in the North - a tiger never quits the mountain. We've both been living on foreign soil. I'm so very tired. I want to go home. But I wanted to return this to you first. As for the 64 Hands, I've already forgotten them. I was lucky to meet you in my prime. Sadly, my time is running out. To say there are no regrets in life, is just to fool yourself. How boring it would be without regrets. Mr. Ip, to tell you the truth, I cared about you. I don't mind telling you that. It's not a crime to love. But that's all it can ever be. I never said that to anyone before. Seeing you tonight, I don't know why, it just came out. Let's say we suspend this game of chess between us. Take care.

    Ip Man: In life, as in chess, a move once made stays on the board. What we have is simply fate. Your father once said, never give up the faith. Keep the light burning. I hope that one day I'll see the 64 Hands once more.
