Chapter 510 Tai Chi
Wherever he went, he would pay attention to all kinds of new and interesting things, thinking about telling them to Wanqing in the future. Wanqing waited for Chu Tian to return in the mountains and forests every day. She would still dance in the mist, but she missed Chu Tian more in her heart. Time passed, and after several months, Chu Tian finally completed this trip and couldn't wait to return to the mountains. When he stepped into the familiar mountains and forests again, his heart was full of excitement. However, when he came to the wooden house, he found that the wooden house was empty. The surrounding flowers and plants seemed to have lost their vitality. Chu Tian was anxious and looked for Wanqing everywhere. He shouted Wanqing's name, and his voice echoed in the mountains and forests, but he never got a response. Just when he felt desperate, he found a letter on the table in the wooden house. He opened the letter with trembling hands. The letter read: "Mr. Chu Tian, after I separated from you, something unexpected happened in my family and I had to leave here. I don't know when I can return, nor do I know if we will meet again. But the time I spent with you will be unforgettable in my life. I hope you are well." Chu Tian looked at the letter with mixed feelings. He knew that the reunion with Wanqing became a distant prospect, but he firmly believed that as long as they had each other in their hearts, this friendship would not dissipate. He put away the letter and embarked on a new journey again with those beautiful memories. In his heart, he always kept a warm corner for Wanqing, looking forward to meeting her again one day and continuing this unfinished fate.
Tai Chi is booming, and the courtyard is in the right place. In the old Beijing courtyard full of fireworks, there are all kinds of people living. Chu Tian, a young man who just moved in, has recently become obsessed with Tai Chi. Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines into the courtyard, Chu Tian will take a horse stance in the open space in the middle of the courtyard and slowly practice Tai Chi. Chu Tian is agile, and his moves are quite good, although he has just started to learn the basics. However, his love has become a laughing stock in the eyes of some people in the courtyard. Jia Zhang, a sarcastic and gossipy old lady, stands at the door of her house every morning and sneers at Chu Tian who is practicing Tai Chi: "Hey, young man, what are you doing here so early in the morning? You are like an old man. You might as well go out and earn some money instead of doing this." Sha Zhu, as a famous chef in the courtyard, has a straightforward personality but is also a bit reckless. Every time he saw Chu Tian doing Tai Chi, he couldn't help but tease him: "Chu Tian, what kind of boxing is this? It's so soft, what's the use? You might as well learn to cook from me, so that you can at least make a living in the future." Yi Zhonghai, who considered himself an elder in the courtyard and took it as his responsibility to maintain the order of the courtyard, also complained about Chu Tian's Tai Chi. He shook his head and said: "Young people should be more energetic. Fighting and killing is the right thing to do. Your slow Tai Chi looks useless." Facing these ridicules, Chu Tian ignored them at first. He firmly believed that Tai Chi can not only strengthen the body, but also inherit traditional culture. But after a long time, these harsh sounds still made him feel a little bored. This morning, Chu Tian was doing Tai Chi in the yard as usual. Jia Zhang started her cold words again: "Chu Tian, you practice here every day, but you haven't made any name for yourself. Don't waste your time." Sha Zhu also echoed: "That's right, Chu Tian, your Tai Chi is not as good as my street dance." Yi Zhonghai was smoking a dry cigarette, not saying anything but with a look of disdain in his eyes. Chu Tian finally couldn't bear it anymore, he stopped and turned to look at the three people. Chu Tian's eyes were firm and sharp, he said calmly: "Jia Zhang, Sha Zhu, Uncle Yi Zhonghai, if you don't understand Tai Chi, don't laugh at it casually. Tai Chi may seem soft, but it actually contains infinite power." When Jia Zhang heard this, he jumped up immediately: "Hey, you kid are still talking back? We have walked more bridges than you have walked roads, how can we not understand? You are just making trouble." Chu Tian looked at Jia Zhang, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Jia Zhang, you are old, I respect you, but you can't take advantage of your age. Today, I want to let you know that Tai Chi is not as simple as you think." Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves, walked forward and said: "Chu Tian, don't brag here, if you have the ability, show us two hands, let us see how powerful this Tai Chi is." Chu Tian smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, Sha Zhu, come and try it." Sha Zhu relied on his strong body and rushed towards Chu Tian, trying to show Chu Tian a warning. Chu Tian was not in a hurry. He dodged to the side and took Sha Zhu's arm, pulling and pushing gently. Sha Zhu rushed forward a few steps like a kite with a broken string, and almost fell to the ground. Sha Zhu was surprised. He didn't expect that Chu Tian's seemingly weak Tai Chi moves could have such great power. He said unconvinced: "Come again!" and rushed up again. Chu Tian still responded calmly. After a few rounds, Sha Zhu was exhausted and panting, but he didn't even touch the corner of Chu Tian's clothes. At this time, Yi Zhonghai frowned and stood up: "Chu Tian, you attacked Sha Zhu, this is a bit too much." Chu Tian looked at Yi Zhonghai and said: "Uncle Yi, they have been laughing at me all the time. I just want them to know that Tai Chi is not useless. If you don't believe it, you can try it." Yi Zhonghai snorted, thinking that he had some prestige in this courtyard, how could he be looked down upon by a young man. He took a stance and attacked Chu Tian. Chu Tian turned his body and dissolved Yi Zhonghai's attack like flowing water. Yi Zhonghai felt that his fist was like hitting cotton, and he couldn't use any strength. Moreover, Chu Tian's counterattack was always just right, making him retreat again and again. After a few rounds, Yi Zhonghai had to stop. He looked at Chu Tian with a little more admiration in his eyes: "Chu Tian, I didn't expect that you are really good at Tai Chi." Seeing that the situation was not good, Jia Zhang wanted to slip away. Chu Tian called her: "Jia Zhang, didn't you always say that my Tai Chi was useless? Why do you want to leave now?" Jia Zhang's face turned red and white, and she stammered: "I, I know I was wrong, and I won't laugh at you anymore." After this contest, the people in the courtyard had a new understanding of Chu Tian's Tai Chi. Since then, no one laughed at Chu Tian's Tai Chi anymore. On the contrary, some young people saw that Chu Tian was so good at Tai Chi, and they asked him for advice. Chu Tian was also happy to teach, and for a while, the morning of the courtyard had a little more charm of Tai Chi.
Through this experience, Chu Tian not only defended his own hobby, but also made the people in Siheyuan understand that every culture has its own unique charm.
