The leisurely life of rebirth

Fang Monan's left palm and right fist were flexed, his arms were rounded, with smiling eyes, he cupped his hands and said, "Should I also say, use force to make friends, accept concessions! Accept concessions!"

Looking at Fang Monan, he looked like he was from all over the world, and the world of martial arts was one family, humble and united, making friends through martial arts, just like people in the martial arts world.

The two fat men laughed unceremoniously.

"How do you know how to hold the fist in the martial arts ceremony?" Liang Zi asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten that the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin?" Fang Monan joked with a smile. "Sit in the pavilion and look like a snowman!"

"The fist-holding ceremony is a traditional Chinese etiquette, but it is rarely used now. It is a Western handshake ceremony." Liang Zi said with a smile.

"The handshake in the West seems to have originated from knights fighting swords. Originally, knights had to wear gloves during duels. Shaking hands meant that I did not bring dueling equipment and showed friendship. But now I extend my hand to shake hands when we meet. It feels really bad.

If the toilet is unclean or wet, what should I do if it still spreads germs? Or should I hold my fists and keep them clean?" Fang Monan raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "Especially when you are in the bathroom."

The fat man imagined that kind of scene. When he was urinating, "Huh!" He quickly shook his head, "It would be better to hold the fist in front of you."

"Haha..." Liang Zi laughed heartily.[

"The fist-holding ceremony, also known as the 'gong', is an ancient meeting ceremony. The hands are joined together in front of the chest to show respect. There is such a record in "The Analects of Confucius": Zilu stands with an arch.

From a hygienic perspective, shaking hands is the most unhygienic thing. Holding a fist is cordial and hygienic;

From a cultural perspective, shaking hands is not our thing. Holding fists is part of traditional culture;

From the perspective of comfort, holding fists avoids some unnecessary embarrassment, such as between men and women, or between people who are more distant from each other."

Fatty and Liang Zi nodded, "It makes sense, but it's a pity that it's unrealistic. Who can let the west wind overwhelm the east wind?" Liang Zi shrugged helplessly.

"The snow is so heavy!" the fat man said. The footprints where he stood just now were completely covered.

Fang Monan looked at the snow that was falling more and more, "Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!"

"Yes! If you stand for a while, you will become a snowman." Liang Zi smiled and looked up at the wooden pavilion. "When was the thatched pavilion built? You can see everything when you look down!" It was pure white, and the scenery was beautiful.

"Color" is so beautiful.

"It was built in the spring of last year." The fat man said proudly, "How is it? It's natural, simple and wild."

"The thatched houses in the past were those made by the poor in the old society who had no ability or money to build better houses, so they had to rely on their own efforts to build thatched houses. Thatch does not cost much money, is easier to collect, and can protect against wind and rain.

, so the poor choose it to build their residences." Liang Zi sighed, "It's true that things are changing. The world has changed. It's true that things are different and people are not the same."

Under the snowflakes flying all over the sky, the snowy scene of the thatched cottage was so beautiful that the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

The Maoting is the originator of all types of pavilions. It originated from real life. The resting sheds and waterwheel sheds on the mountain roadsides for resting and sheltering from the rain are the original forms of the Maoting.

This type of pavilion is mostly made of logs that have been slightly processed into beams and columns, or covered with thatch or bark, giving it a natural appeal. It retains its natural "color" and is quite reminiscent of mountains, forests and springs, with the added feature of "natural removal of carvings"

Simple and quiet.

The thatched pavilion is a mirror that never rusts in the historical countryside, shining like bronze. No matter the vicissitudes of life, it still reflects the history of human civilization leisurely among the rice waves and wheat waves. It is like a weather-beaten old man,

With a honest and simple image, he is isolated in the lush fields, surrounded by green mountains, accompanied by kingfishers, with his silver beard fluttering gently in the wind, and happily facing the flowers blooming and falling in the fields.

The sky in the east has already turned white, and the sky and the earth are completely white.[

"Hey! Brother, when did your kung fu become so good!" Fatty asked curiously. "No one was this good on the street before."

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Liang Zi waved his hand and said, as if it was a long story.

"Thank you for your hard work these years." Fang Mo looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes and patted his shoulder and said, "For those who are unfamiliar with the place, doing business abroad is sometimes more difficult than at home.

The United States is a very xenophobic country.”

Ever since they were sold as piggies to build railroads in America, Chinese people have been immigrating to the United States for more than 150 years. Over the past 150 years, individual joys and sorrows, successes and frustrations have become a vivid human drama.

Sometimes, happiness is only seen by others as envy or jealousy, but oneself can never taste the sweet taste.

After the reform and opening up, in the 1980s, there was a craze for going abroad. Of course, those who were able had a better life, but at the same time, more people who were able to study abroad also showed their talents and went to the United States to work hard. They were ambitious and fierce

A generation of people who regard themselves as "the trendsetters of the times" disdain the ordinary, stable and decent life "within the system" in China, and pursue the lifestyle on the other side of the ocean where "every burp tastes like chocolate".

After being isolated from the West for decades, Chinese people are eager to understand that strange world. For Chinese people, the United States is a distant, strange, and rich land. Many people are dreaming of their own dreams of going abroad and truly believe that their destiny

They will transform on that land. In order to realize their dreams, they will not have to pay a huge price.

Different from the immigration "wave" of wealthy people in later generations, the "wave" of going abroad during this period was once the leader of a generation. Many of them had degrees from prestigious schools or had a decent "in-system" job.

Chinese people all believe that the moon abroad is rounder than the moon at home, so they flock to foreign countries. In fact, this is not the case. In order to survive, ordinary people wash dishes and serve dishes in restaurants. It is commonplace, and Fang Monan was one of them.

Just look at the people from Beijing in New York and you will know that art comes from life!

"That's also thanks to the boss. Without the protection of Hong Yaoqiang and Hongmen, I wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Liang Zi said with a smile, there are still some unscrupulous people looking for trouble. Although it is the era of hot weapons, this hand

I never dare to lose my kung fu, it was used to save my life that day.

"Hongmen is the largest Chinese society in the world, and other gangsters must also be polite." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"The underworld forces abroad are very rampant, and you have to face threats from them when doing business." Fatty said what he knew, "The American mafia is very famous, like that famous movie, "The Godfather" is not about the mafia.

.”

"The American Mafia is a relatively clear underworld in the United States. However, the development and growth of the American Mafia is also related to the support of the US government, because at certain times, the United States needs the Mafia to maintain international order.

." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"Think about it, it's best for them to do the shameful things, and there are still people who take the blame." The fat man thought for a while and said.

Liang Zi said, "The American Mafia originated from Italy and has become a more serious problem in American society since the 1920s. In fact, the underworld is the 'midwife of capitalism'. In the 1930s, the United States encountered

During the Great Depression, the Hoover administration at the time adopted a policy of utilizing the Mafia in order to stabilize the economy. After Roosevelt came to power, he began to crack down on the Mafia. However, during World War II, the Mafia's status in the United States improved.

The Mussolini regime in Italy suppressed the Mafia very severely. Out of the need to fight against fascism, the Mafia became an 'ally' of the United States to a certain extent at that time. At the end of World War II, the U.S. military landed in Sicily, Italy.

Sicily is the base camp of the Mafia. In order to resist Mussolini, the Sicilian Mafia provided great cooperation with the US military, and the US military indeed needed this kind of cooperation. Therefore, there was actually a secret cooperation between the US "government" and the Mafia at that time.

As a result, the domestic mafia in the United States has developed greatly. Since the 1950s, the American mafia has begun to take shape and has many factions. Many independent underworld groups that control the American mafia have spread across major cities across the country."

"The movie "The Godfather" that Fatty just mentioned was invested and filmed by the Mafia family. The biggest role of this movie is that it beautifies the Mafia to the American people. The Mafia leaders seem to be humane and not just cold-blooded killers."

Fang Monan sneered.

"In fact, from ancient times to the present, and even in the future, no matter how young, how many centuries or even when the earth is destroyed, no matter which country or region on this earth, only black is not enough, and on the contrary, only white is not enough. Because he

There needs to be a balance." Liang Zi said meaningfully. "If you destroy this one today, there will be gangs of many different sizes appearing tomorrow."

"So! There are underworlds in every country, but some countries don't recognize it, and the only country that recognizes it is..."

"Japan is the only country in the world that recognizes the legality of gangsters. Yakuza has also become the most open gangster with a complete organizational system. All members are well-dressed, wear name tags, and carry business cards with them.

"It's just the tattoo on the back and the hand missing a little finger. According to the regulations, one of the little fingers must be cut off to show loyalty." Liang Zi said.

"Yakuza?" the fat man asked doubtfully.

"It's the Yamaguchi-gumi, Inagawa-kai and Sumiyoshi-kai all belong to this organization." Liang Zi explained. "The rising star of the Russian gang, alas! There are so many gangs on the line? Countless."

"How can we bypass gangsters when we open a hotel, especially a casino?" Liang Zi said.

"Having said so much, in fact, the United States is also a gangster, and it is the largest and most arrogant." Fang Monan said with a smile.

Liang Zi smiled and said, "That makes sense!"

"How do you explain this?" the fat man asked humbly.

"What is the underworld? It is a social structure that centralizes and completely controls the power of violence, wealth, and speech. In a normal and reasonable social regime, the power of violence can only be centrally managed by the "government" and cannot be used casually by everyone; the right of wealth is controlled by

Political power is shared with society; the right to speak is provided by independent institutions or people related to wealth and power.

The so-called underworld is the combination of the three powers of violence, wealth and speech - the underworld can beat people and kill people; the underworld implements business monopolies and eliminates competition; the underworld uses charity, intimidation, bribes journalists, and acquires media operations

"You have the right to speak." Fang Monan said with a smile. (To be continued...)
