Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 758 Boxing Championship

  After eating

  Xie Guoming asked his son and a few young children of the Xie family to take Yang Chen out to play together. In this era when the entertainment industry was not very rich, most people like to go out for shopping after dinner.

   The four brothers of the Xie family are all over forty, so naturally it is not easy to accompany Yang Chen out to play. This kind of work can only be handed over to the younger brother of the Xie family.

  Bangkok in the 1980s, as the capital of Thailand, was much more prosperous than other places. The downtown areas were very lively at night, and it was no worse than Xiangjiang.

   Along the way, the buildings Yang Chen and his party saw the most were temples. The strong Buddhist culture in Thailand is almost everywhere and affects people in all aspects.

  Unfortunately, Yang Chen is not very interested in Buddhism.

   For a long time, Buddhism in Thailand, in the impression of outsiders, is very evil, especially in some movie clips, it shows its evil nature vividly.

   The Buddhism here is very different from the Buddhist culture in the mainland. Although they are both Buddhas, their teachings are very different.

   After strolling around a few downtown areas, the young masters of the Xie family who accompanied Yang Chen and his party discussed taking Yang Chen to watch the boxing match.

   Muay Thai, everyone must have heard of it, don’t think that the people of Thailand worship Buddha, and everyone is harmonious. There is a saying in Buddhists that Muay Thai is known as the strongest fighting technique in modern times.

The characteristic of    is not how good-looking the moves are, but the lethality of Muay Thai is much larger than other boxing methods.

   Muay Thai is simple and easy to learn. It mainly uses the human body's fists, legs, elbows, and knees as eight types of attack weapons.

The    moves are simple and direct, and extremely ferocious. Once used, the opponent is often killed or injured.

   "Listen to my dad, Brother Yang is also a trainer. I got the news that there is a boxing championship in Bangkok today. It's a rare opportunity. Why don't we go and take a look."

   "Championship Tournament"

   Yang Chen's eyes lit up, and he was about to move.

   He has always been interested in Muay Thai.

  Martial arts, focusing on killing skills

  The main reason why Muay Thai is recognized as the strongest fighting technique in modern times is that its lethality far exceeds that of other martial arts. Taekwondo, Karate, and Jeet Kune Do are not as lethal as it is.

   As for our Southern School and Northern School, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the so-called martial arts have gradually declined.

   As the saying goes, chivalry is forbidden by force.

   For thousands of years, we have been very wary of those so-called Jianghu people from top to bottom.

  In the age of cold weapons, there was no way. Now, in the age of hot weapons, no matter how well you practice martial arts, you can't resist the attack of guns.

  Murder is a crime, regardless of whether you are vendetta or grievances, as a member of the Great Celestial Dynasty, if you kill someone, you have to accept legal sanctions.

   Over the past few decades, the so-called martial arts have naturally gradually declined, and many inheritances have only the form of moves, which can only play the role of physical exercise.

   In later generations, many clowns who jumped beams, held high the name of fighting fakes, and showed off their power everywhere, saying that Huaxia martial arts was fake, and it didn't work, thinking that they were so powerful and awesome.

   This kind of person, Yang Chen doesn't want to say more, because it is meaningless. In contrast, what makes him speechless is the brainless followers on the Internet.

   others say what they say, believe what others say.

Don't think about who, according to the laws of our great empire, two people have a dispute. If one party counterattacks too much in self-defense and hurts someone, no matter whether it is intentional or not, it has to compensate the injured person and apologize. If you don't give up, you have to accept reform through labor.

   To put it bluntly, it’s not that our martial arts can’t be done, it’s the state restrictions that don’t allow you to do it.

   As an old saying goes, if it’s a dragon, you squat for me, if it’s a tiger, you squat for me. It’s enough to teach people to exercise honestly. If you don’t have any extras, be careful that the uncle of the police checks your room.

  In the Great Celestial Dynasty, except for the officials, there are underworld groups with armed forces. The officials generally don’t show off, and once you pop out of the underworld, the police will reward you with a peanut every minute.

   After a few introductions from the Xie family’s children, Yang Chen had a general understanding of the boxing match in Thailand.

Although Thai law does not allow casualties in the game, but in Thailand, the government belongs to the third child of ten thousand years. Pay attention to these.

   Muay Thai is one of the most popular activities in Thailand, and the interest groups involved are very large.

   It’s not a big deal if a few people die in a match. There are policies above and countermeasures below. In many cases, no countermeasures are needed at all, because the government usually turns a blind eye.

   As long as we sign the well-known life and death certificate, life and death are determined by destiny. With this paper, if you kill someone, you only need to accompany a few money.

   It is for this reason that local boxing competitions and underground black boxing are so popular in Thailand.

   And behind the popularity of Muay Thai, everything stems from gambling.

  Thailand is a country with a complete ban on gambling. Thai law stipulates that all other forms of gambling are prohibited except for the legal accident of lottery and horse racing issued by the state. Even playing poker in public places may be caught by the police.

   "Gambling is prohibited in Thailand?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

   "The law is like this, but it needs to be divided. Casinos with no background, as long as the police catch them, they will definitely be seized.

   However, those casinos with backgrounds, especially those with military backgrounds, even if they are placed on the table, the police dare not block them, and everyone will only turn a blind eye. "

   "After all, the army is second only to the king in Thailand. Some people who touch the interests of the military bosses, even the prime minister will step down in minutes."

  Yang Chen smiled and said, "Then will I bet and play later?"

   "Uh" Xie's brothers looked at each other, and for some reason, their expressions looked very weird.

   "What? Can't you?" Yang Chen asked with a puzzled look.

   "Yes, yes, but Brother Yang, you need to pay attention to your bets later. Where we go in a while, a military boss is behind the support."

   Yang Chen's previous bet on the World Cup, the Xie brothers have heard from the fathers in the family. In this regard, the Xie brothers have nothing to express their admiration except for a capital letter.

   However, they are convinced, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they still don't want Yang Chen to make things too much.

   You must know that the big bosses in the Thai military are all lawless masters with hot tempers.

  Military power and interests, whoever touches their bottom line, those soldiers & tigers will let people know what it means to eat people without spitting bones.
