When Yue Longtian rushed to the headquarters of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, he found that it was a little different from what he imagined. It was located outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, using office spaces like private houses, and there were stalls and vendors on the roadside, with complex product flow.
Even the wooden plaque hanging outside the gate with the words "Headquarters of the Chinese Martial Arts Association" was somewhat decayed and yellowed. After pushing open the door and entering, I found that the yard was like a dilapidated courtyard in the old capital city, and a few old people
The man was sitting there playing chess.
Someone noticed that Yue Longtian had come, so he looked up at him and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong with coming here?"
Yue Longtian saw that the elderly had gray hair and were not very particular about their clothes, but it could still be seen between his eyebrows that these old men were all experts with unique skills.
Yue Longtian still said respectfully to the old men, "It was Chairman Chen Zhigang who asked me to come to him. I wonder if he is here?"
When several old men heard Yue Longtian say this, they couldn't help but stop making the move in their hands. After looking up at Yue Longtian for a while, someone said, "Are you Yue Longtian?"
Yue Longtian nodded. At this time, one of the old men who played chess put the chess piece in the chess basket, clapped his hands, stood up, and said to everyone, "I won't go, I won't go, it's time to have a meeting!"
At this time, several old men began to clean up one after another, and then walked into the room of opinions. Only an amiable old man stayed and said to Yue Longtian, "Chairman Chen is waiting for you, come with me!"
After Yue Longtian followed the old man into the big house, he found that the few old men who were playing chess just now had already sat in the house. This room looked like the factory office in the 1960s and 1970s.
A few simple old chairs, a long and worn table, and there was a newspaper and a magnetic tea cup in front of each old man, and there was still a steaming heat in the tea cup.
There was an empty seat in front of the table, but Chen Zhigang was not there, and the wall behind the seat was a blackboard, which made people feel like the previous class.
The words "National College Students' Martial Arts Competition Live Broadcasting Agenda Meeting" are written in chalk on the blackboard. Although they are chalk, it can be seen that the person who writes is vigorous and powerful, not written by ordinary weak scholars.
As soon as Yue Longtian came in, several old men signaled Yue Longtian to sit down in the empty seat at the end. Yue Longtian nodded humbly to the old men and walked towards the seat to sit down.
As soon as Yue Longtian's butt fell on the chair, he saw Chen Zhigang walking in from outside the house. As soon as he entered the door, he looked around the conference room. Finally, he saw Yue Longtian also sitting. After smiling at him, he asked the leader Yue Longtian.
The old man who came in said, "Where are Master Wu, Master Qian, Master Liu and others?"
Master Wu immediately said to Chen Zhigang, "They said something is wrong, so they won't come to attend this meeting!"
Chen Zhigang frowned and pondered for a while. He seemed to be angry but was not angry. Finally, he walked to his seat and sat down. Then he cleared his throat and said to everyone, "We had a meeting yesterday to discuss it.
Today I specially invited Mr. Yue Longtianyue to let him explain to you the live broadcast and the future reform of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. If you have any questions, just ask him!"
After Chen Zhigang said this, the old men present couldn't help looking at Yue Longtian, but did not ask questions immediately, but were talking about something in a low voice.
Yue Longtian and Yue Longtian looked at each other at this time. When Chen Zhigang saw that everyone did not ask questions, he immediately stood up and said to everyone, "You guys discuss the questions you want to ask first. Mr. Yue and I have something to say, and I will come back here in half an hour!"
After Chen Zhigang finished speaking, he glanced at Yue Long's Angels. Yue Longtian immediately stood up and followed Chen Zhigang out of the "conference room". As soon as he went out, he heard the old men behind him talking in a low voice and began to discuss loudly.
Chen Zhigang led Yue Longtian to a tree in the yard and sat down, looking at Yue Longtian, who was full of suspicion, "Do you have many questions to ask me?"
Yue Longtian smiled at Chen Zhigang, then shook his head, "There were many problems, but now it suddenly disappeared!"
Chen Zhigang smiled and signaled Yue Longtian to sit opposite him, took out a regular Zhongnanhai cigarette, and asked Yue Longtian if he wanted to use one. After Yue Longtian signaled that he would not smoke, he lit one.
Chen Zhigang slowly smoked a cigarette while looking at Yue Longtiandao, "You must want to ask, why is the headquarters of the Chinese Martial Arts Association located in this place? Why is it like this?"
Yue Longtian smiled unanimously, but heard Chen Zhigang say, "It's no wonder you think so. You are from Huanghai and are also a member of the Huanghai Association. You must have seen the Huanghai Martial Arts Association Building, which is much better than our headquarters.
!”
Yue Longtian still didn't say anything, Chen Zhigang continued to say to Yue Longtian, "Actually, I don't want to hide anything. In fact, the headquarters of the Chinese Martial Arts Association has a bit of a name-and-death taste. In the past, the presidents of branch committees from various places always encounter problems.
Come to have a meeting, now..." As he said that, he looked at the so-called "conference room", sighed slightly, "These are only these people left!"
Yue Longtian was originally wondering why the headquarters of the Chinese Martial Arts Association is not as good as a branch in a local area. At this time, he also looked at Chen Zhigang with puzzled eyes.
Chen Zhigang sighed and said to Yue Longtian, "In fact, this is just a microcosm. It is just a witness from the side how unsatisfactory we Chinese martial arts people are. Now the local branches are in charge of their own affairs. Although they all belong to our always-offs,
Basically, all localities have done their own things. My so-called position as chairman is just a false idea!”
Yue Longtian was silent after hearing this. This was indeed something he had not expected. He couldn't help but say to Chen Zhigang, "Even so, the headquarters is the headquarters after all, and it wouldn't be so indifferent?"
Chen Zhigang smiled bitterly at Yue Longtian, "Actually, to this point, it was thanks to the previous chairman of the association. If he hadn't escaped with the money, it would have been like this, and the branch would not have been less and less.
I will always take it seriously!"
Of course, Yue Longtian didn't know what the chairman of the previous association did. He immediately said to Chen Zhigang, "I thought about it too much and didn't think about it. The current problem is how to revitalize the reputation of the headquarters of the Chinese Martial Arts Association and let those branches regain the headquarters.
Only with confidence!”
Chen Zhigang nodded and said to Yue Longtian, "This is also the goal I have fought for over the years. It is a long way to go to carry forward Chinese martial arts. I know that it is really difficult to be competent with my own strength. Talking about ideals will only make mistakes, let alone you
Look at those old men, how many people can talk to you about your ideals?"
Chen Zhigang's words showed helplessness, and Yue Longtian also deeply understood that these old men may have achieved certain achievements in martial arts, but it is precisely because of this that they are definitely unwilling to change. Chen Zhigang can be said to be just a person
In the battle.
When Yue Longtian thought of this, he couldn't help but worry about Chen Zhigang and said to Chen Zhigang, "Since you know that the reality is like this, why do you still have to be the chairman of this general association in name only?"
"If I don't do it!" Chen Zhigang said to Yue Longtian, "Then the Chinese Martial Arts Association will really perish. Once the Chinese Martial Arts Association dies, it means that Chinese martial arts will perish. As a person of our generation,
How can you watch the martial arts decline?"
Yue Longtian was silent when he heard this, and felt moved. When he talked about promoting Chinese martial arts, he always felt weak. But today he met Chen Zhigang and always felt that he was not alone. At least one Chen Zhigang was insisting on being the same as himself.
The road.
Yue Longtian immediately said to Chen Zhigang, "Chairman Chen, there will always be any need in the future. Just a phone call, Yue Longtian will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Chen Zhigang nodded with relief when he heard this, but sighed slightly, "I know Mr. Yue is intent, but it is still insignificant with your and my strength alone!"
Yue Longtian immediately said to Chen Zhigang again, "This National College Students' Martial Arts Competition is the first step to revitalize and carry forward Chinese martial arts. If we take this step, we will not turn back. Moreover, we will continue to find like-minded people on the road in the future. We will definitely
Not alone!”
When Chen Zhigang heard what Yue Longtian said so resolutely, he couldn't help but look up at Yue Longtian, smiled with relief, and nodded, and stood up to say to Yue Longtian, "That's right, we will never be alone!"
Speaking of this, Chen Zhigang said to Yue Longtian again, "Mr. Yue, I have a heartless request. I don't know if you want it!"
"I just said it!" Yue Longtian immediately stood up and said to Chen Zhigang, "I will not hesitate to do anything about the headquarters of the Chinese Martial Arts Association!"
"Okay, very good!" Chen Zhigang immediately smiled and patted Yue Longtian on the shoulder, "I want to pass on the position of chairman of the Chinese Martial Arts Association to you..."
"Ah?" Yue Longtian never expected Chen Zhigang to have this request. He couldn't help but look at Chen Zhigang in surprise and said, "Chairman Chen, you are in your prime now, and I am just a young boy. How can I be competent?"
Chen Zhigang smiled at Yue Longtian and said, "I will tell you a secret..." As he said that, he sat down again, lit a cigarette and said to Yue Longtian, "Actually, I already have cancer, and it was already in the late stage when I was diagnosed!"
When Yue Longtian heard this, he looked at Chen Zhigang in shock, but Chen Zhigang looked at Yue Longtian calmly, "You don't have to worry about me, I have seen through life and death, and I am alone, and there is no one.
What concerns are the only thing that I can’t rest assured is the Martial Arts Association!”
Yue Longtian immediately said to Chen Zhigang, "Have you ever asked a doctor to see it? Now that medicine is so prosperous, cancer is not completely curable..."
"I have found dozens of experts!" Chen Zhigang said to Yue Longtian, "This time I went to Kunming, one was to resolve the sect disputes there, and the other was to find a famous local Chinese medicine doctor, and he also said that I had no medicine.
