Uncle Liao’s training in the army used to be mainly based on actual combat training, with real-life punches and powerful and explosive killing moves, such as grappling techniques and enemy-grabbing fists.

Now that I’m older, I prefer Tai Chi, which is a way to cultivate my body and mind.

Mr. Chen from the Evergreen Tai Chi class studied under the 12th generation inheritor of Chen-style Tai Chi and has learned it seriously. He used to be a physical education teacher in college.

When Uncle Liao first started learning Tai Chi, things were not going very smoothly. He always used all his strength, which made his movements mechanical and stiff.

Teacher Chen took great efforts to get Uncle Liao to change his mindset. When practicing Tai Chi, he no longer used force blindly, but instead used softness with firmness, and used softness to overcome firmness.

Uncle Liao’s physical fitness is recognized to be good. After learning Tai Chi, he practiced once every morning and evening, and practiced diligently, and he has developed a unique personal style.

He could really make "sounds" with his punches and palms. Every time he threw out, there was a sound of breaking wind. Teacher Chen became more and more satisfied and recommended Uncle Liao to participate in various martial arts competitions.

Compared with the two pairs of "unfair masters and apprentices", Lao Fu and the Chinese painting teacher, and Uncle Li and the erhu teacher, Uncle Liao and the Tai Chi teacher really appreciate and respect each other.

This time at the "World Senior Games", it was because of Teacher Chen's strong recommendation in his email that the organizers added a martial arts zone.

After Uncle Liao learned it, he began to develop new students. He is trying to teach Old Jack and John to perform Tai Chi.

"I will teach you simplified Tai Chi. After learning it, it can help you strengthen your body and cultivate your character." Uncle Liao stood straight and spoke in a steady voice.

"The first move, the starting move." Uncle Liao recited the command while demonstrating.

Old Jack and John learned very well, their faces filled with longing for the mysterious Chinese Kung Fu.

After learning the opening move, they didn't find it difficult at all, but the second move, "Vajra Pounding the Mortar", was when the intensity really started to increase.

"Master, go slower. My eyes see it, but my brain doesn't remember it."

John had just been praised by Uncle Liao as a "martial arts genius", and now he was facing the first hurdle in learning martial arts.

The movements my master taught me were completely different from what I did. I took a side step and couldn't lift my leg up after splitting it.

Old Jack and John moved their old arms and legs with difficulty like rusty machines.

"It's too difficult, too difficult." The two of them felt something was not going well after learning only two moves.

Old Fu, who was watching, suddenly got the idea and joined the conversation: "This is easy. I got it."

Uncle Wang looked at him in shock: "Brother, aren't we both grinning like an idiot? How did you learn it?"

This level of shock is no less than finding out that your deskmate who sleeps every day got full marks in the exam.

Old Fu was full of confidence and felt he had the upper hand.

"Come on, let me show you. Isn't this the same as playing mahjong?"

"Draw a card, push a card... Hey, it's a win."

"Draw a circle, put your arms together, and then draw a card."

"That's the end of it."

Mr. Fu, who has uncoordinated limbs when dancing, applied the principle of mahjong to Tai Chi. The principle he gave was: there is no trick but practice makes perfect.

Lao Fu has a deep love for mahjong. Who says playing mahjong is useless? It is very useful. It can be used for exams and in practical applications.

After the “abstract” Tai Chi player Lao Fu finished teaching, Uncle Liao broke it down again.

Old Jack and John nodded repeatedly as they watched.

When in practice, he walked two miles stealthily.

Tai Chi culture is profound and extensive. It is estimated that the master has known me for many years, but it is a pity that we have only a short time together.

In the afternoon, Aunt Liang turned the Chinese character booth into a "Chinese Character Dictation Competition". Foreign uncles and aunts learned very seriously and actively asked how to write their names in Chinese.

Old Jack also strongly requested Old Fu to give him a Chinese name.

After careful consideration, Lao Fu said, "What do you think of the name Zhiyuan?"

It was a rare occasion for him to be serious. Old Fu called himself "Zhicai". He felt that he lived up to the name and had become a "wonderful talent".

He also wanted to give his best wishes to old Jack.

Old Jack was very satisfied with his new name and asked another question, "Fu, what's your last name?"

"Your last name is Fu."

"I also want the surname Fu." Old Jack raised his hand excitedly.

"Then you two will become brothers." Uncle Wang suddenly made a surprising discovery.

"Fu Zhicai" and "Fu Zhiyuan" are just two brothers.

Old Fu excitedly hugged his good brother and announced the exciting news to his eldest son Fu Lanshan: "Son, I will be back in two days."

"You heard me right. I found you a foreign uncle."

……

At this time, the casting for Aunt Zhuo's drama in the school has been decided, and the official performance time will be at the end of the semester.
