Who are you fighting for? Why fight? How do you fight?

This is not only a question mark in the arena, but also a question mark that life has to face; it is not only a question of boxers, but a question that everyone has to face; this is not only a question with a question mark, but also a question of asking for The answer to life.

Presumably, people are rarely stupid when they are at their peak, right?

Not only so-called saints, but also successful people and ordinary people. Success is full of hard climbing, every step is made of difficulty, every step forward is made of sweat. Although it has not reached its peak, it has only climbed to a small peak. Looking up, the mountains are small. Let’s forget about the difficult and dangerous peaks behind you, immerse yourself in the peaks you have reached so far, and dance with the wind.

Generally speaking, every so-called peak below the peak is not only to give people an unprecedented self-experience, but also to prepare an excellent place for people to bury themselves. Here, there are very few people who do not do the stupid thing of stumbled and fallen off the cliff in the air. It is not surprising to fall half dead, it is lucky to be scarred, and there are many places to be forgotten by the world. What's more, it was this fall that ruined all life, all hope, and all future.

The question after a fall or fall is whether you need to get back up again. Whether the business will continue, whether there is still hope in life, whether there is a future in life. The question is established, and the answer is undisputed. People are here, life is there, everything can still exist, still continue, career, life, hope.

Therefore, those who return to the ring need to improve an ability, not the ability to beat people, but the ability to fight. Only by fighting the blow can you stand up quickly the next time you fall, and recover quickly the next time you get hit. In the ring, you need a lot of skills, dodge, footwork, and fancy punching, but the most important skills are hitting and fighting against others. If you can fight, you will have a chance to win; if you can fight, you can persevere to the end and not lose the capital. The toughest battle is the tug-of-war between both, and that's true of all great battles.

Boxers are fighting on the ring, and everyone is fighting off the ring. Life is an inescapable arena. In this arena, everyone must rise up and fight against everyone. Punch, dodge, fight. The difference is that there is only one opponent in the ring, and there are more than one opponent in life. The opponents in the ring can be seen, the opponents under the ring are very abstract, sometimes they are specific people, and more often they are just an inexplicable and indescribable destiny composed of countless people. This opponent is so tough, you are tough, he is tougher than you. You gritty build, he gritty destroys yours. You express reconciliation politely and completely, and he unceremoniously gives you a heavy punch. The real opponent will not be merciful, and the real fate will not be merciful.

Face yourself, face the ring, face your destiny. Only those who face it directly can have the qualification to exist; only those who face it directly can find their own value; only those who face it directly can understand the meaning of life.

If you are unfortunately knocked down, don't be sad, don't rush to fight back, you can lie down, when you clear your mind, when your physical strength will ease, then stand up again, face your opponent, face the ring, and face your fate. When the countdown time has not yet come, don't stand up, don't pretend, don't pretend, don't pursue the false cheers around you. You have to understand what you need, not what others need.

If you're unfortunate enough to be cornered, don't stand up and be beaten, you have to be flexible, dodge, dodge, dodge. People in the dead end can't pursue victory, they can only pursue dodge, pursue less beatings, pursue self-preservation, and try to be reborn after catastrophe. Dead ends are not used to bury oneself, but an opportunity to turn defeat into victory. Opportunity is always in danger. But the premise is that you have to know how to dodge, how to get out of the blind spot, return to the ring, return to the opponent's back, face the opponent's back in anger, and face the endless battle.

If you're unfortunate enough to die in action, of course, that's not really something you should be thinking about. Because, if you are unfortunate enough to die, you no longer have any feelings for these opponents, the ring, the cheers of the audience. So, you don't have to think about things that you no longer feel. When you fight, the dead are not there. When you died, you were no longer there. What you focus on is the range that you can grasp. You don’t need to worry about what you can’t grasp, and you don’t need to worry about yourself.

Don't hate your opponent, don't complain about fate. Your opponent is the same as you, and there is no other way out, except fighting, in addition to facing your fist, facing the arena and your similar or different fate. A great opponent is worth respecting, a great arena is worth looking up to, and a great destiny is worth embracing.

This is a movie worth sitting down and appreciating seriously, a story worthy of serious aftertaste. No matter how great a life is, it's just life, and no matter how humble it is, it's just life; the same thing is only constant struggle and constant struggle.
