Chapter 381: All-round Transfer
Bruce Lee's home requires crossing the sea. It is at 218 Nathan Road in Kowloon, or to be more precise, it is the house of Bruce Lee's parents.
The house is not big. It is on the first floor and has three bedrooms, but each room is not big.
Bruce Lee planned to rent an apartment near his home after signing the contract in Hong Kong, otherwise there would be no place to live after he brought his wife and children over.
Since Wang Deming, together with Mr. Bao and others, bid for the construction of the undersea tunnel in 69, it was just completed this year, making travel between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon more convenient.
The driver of Wang's Manor quickly took them home and left quickly after receiving their thanks.
The two brothers walked side by side towards home. Li Zhongchen sighed, "Xiaolong, it's a good thing that you returned to Hong Kong this time to discuss a contract with Mr. Wang's film company."
"Otherwise, you should listen to Mr. Wang more when you practice martial arts in the future."
"Yeah." Bruce Lee suddenly stood at the door of his house, turned back and looked up at the starry sky, "The only regret is that I can't spar with Mr. Wang."
Li Zhongchen patted his brother's shoulder vigorously, thinking it was very funny: "You... Don't you think about it? With Boss Wang's wealth, how could he be like the Honghua Shuanggen of the underworld, fighting with others for no reason?"
"Didn't you hear the Siwu Tang drink one of his wives mentioned today?"
"What?" Bruce Lee didn't understand what his brother meant and looked at him in confusion.
"You, you need to know the ways of the world. What they mean is that their family has a very good relationship with the British Governor of Hong Kong, so they provide the Governor with health drinks."
"Oh, that's what it means."
"Well, I guess he also wants us to know that Mr. Wang really has medical skills."
"elder brother."
"Ok?"
"Don't tell my parents about my health when you get home."
"Okay, I won't tell you, but."
"Don't worry, I will listen to Mr. Wang and take care of my body first. Didn't you also listen to what Mr. Wang said? There is no big problem now."
"Well, let's go home and let mom and dad know the good news of your signing."
Later, the news that Bruce Lee signed a contract with Spring and Autumn Productions did not cause any sensation, except for a mention in the entertainment section of some tabloids.
Although Bruce Lee performed martial arts in Shaw Brothers' "Happy Tonight" program, it was just a TV program. Therefore, many Hong Kong people did not think he was a big star.
In terms of clarity, he may not be as great as his former sister-in-law Lin Yanni, who is both a host and a columnist.
After signing the contract, Bruce Lee returned to the United States first and brought his wife and two children to Hong Kong. Spring and Autumn Productions specially rented an apartment for him in "Ming De Garden" on Waterloo Road, and the company paid for it.
In addition, he was allocated a house near the film set in Tsuen Wan to facilitate filming.
After settling down, Bruce Lee went to Gloucester Building on Pedder Street in Central every day.
Wang Deming personally took care of his health.
"Did you injure your lumbar spine while lifting weights last year? And then you just did traction treatment?"
Wang Deming felt Bruce Lee's pulse and found that Bruce Lee's health problems had accumulated to a serious level. He frowned and said, "You are a martial artist. You should know how important the waist and horse are. Why don't you find a local Chinese masseur to massage you?" Bruce Lee now saw that Wang Deming was a god and was completely impressed. He couldn't help but ask, "That's right, Mr. Wang, you can tell this by feeling the pulse?"
Wang Deming asked him to change his hand and continued to feel his pulse. He said slowly, "You appear to be strong on the surface, but your body is actually seriously overdrawn, especially your blood vessels are blocked. I can feel it immediately."
"Your heart fire is too strong, and your kidney water is insufficient. It's like a pot that keeps boiling water. It looks steaming, but the water in the pot is getting less and less."
"Also, besides regular strength and speed training, what else do you do to get fit?"
Wang Deming asked Bruce Lee in confusion: "Your heartbeat is a little disordered. It seems fine now, but if it continues, there is a risk of cardiac arrest."
"I learned how to stimulate muscles with electric shocks from Japan. I feel it is very effective. It increases my punching speed by at least 2%. Many karate practitioners in Japan also use electric shocks. I spent a lot of money to buy it."
Wang Deming is so helpless. No wonder you died young. Love is torturing your body.
Excessive exercise can easily lead to premature death. Haven't you seen that there are no long-lived sprinters? They all use up their vitality in advance, and then you give them an electric shock, which makes things even worse.
Are you practicing martial arts? Or cultivating immortality? Are you playing with electric shocks?
"What did you learn from the Japanese devils? They learn things in an unconventional way, not in the right way. Karate is originally the Chinese Tangshou, but after they learned it, they only cared about the insidious and vicious moves, and didn't know how to take care of the body properly."
"Didn't your master teach you the proper way to regulate your Qi and meridians?"
"Uh, do standing still and hitting the wooden man count?"
"Come here, I'll teach you the Five Animals Exercises first." Wang Deming sighed, stood up, took off his coat, stood in the middle of the office, and struck a pose. "The Chinese martial arts stance has actually lost its true meaning. What's the point of just standing there like an idiot? And if you practice the lower body, won't you become a wooden stake?"
“The real practice of standing meditation requires movement.”
"Look carefully, this is tiger play." Wang Deming gave a preliminary explanation while practicing, "My set of Five Animal Play has a total of 108 movements. The most popular one nowadays is only half of it, 54, and it also lacks the most critical breathing, so it can't be called a guiding technique."
"So, ordinary people can only ensure the stability of their qi and blood through practicing this, but it will not have any other effects."
"Kidneys govern bones, so Western exercises have shown that regular squatting can help men's reproductive abilities, but this is nothing like my tiger play."
"Come on, try it."
Speaking of which, he learned this set of Five Animals Exercises when he was in the Chinese Medicine Association in Beijing. At first, he wondered what use this thing would be, especially since the other party only taught him a simplified version.
It was just that when Wang Deming received the other party's gratitude, he got the full version of the Five Animal Exercises out of nowhere, especially the breathing method.
The most common breathing methods are: hu, ha, hi, hu, and hush, which regulate the five internal organs.
But it can only be regarded as an exhalation method, not an inhalation method.
When he taught Bruce Lee the breathing method, he coordinated it with the movements, either using the mouth or nose, or with just a few long or short movements to make the other person sweat.
"Okay, that's all for today."
Wang Deming picked up a pen and quickly wrote a prescription for him. "Go to Mingde Pharmacy to get the medicine. The quality of the Chinese medicine there is guaranteed and it is well prepared. A 10-year-old forest ginseng will do."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Bruce Lee felt like he would die for his friend: "Don't worry, I'm looking for someone to write the script with me."
"I will definitely make money for the film company!"
"Well, I believe in my own judgment!" Wang Deming patted his shoulder and said, "There's no rush to make a movie. Your health is the most important thing."
Watching Bruce Lee leave, Wang Deming couldn't help but feel a little proud. I can't change anything else, but it's a good deed to let Bruce Lee live a few more years.
