Or a friend has seen Wong Kar-wai's work "A Generation of Grandmasters", which, although the praise and criticism are mixed, but the love and sorrow in the rivers and lakes are vividly displayed. One of the characters is named Ding Lianshan, who is Gong Baosen's master brother, although the role of this character is not heavy, but in the real martial arts, he has an intricate life experience.
On September 24, 1905, in the 31st year of the Qing Dynasty, The Great Qing Dynasty Fuguo Zaize and the attendant Xu Shichang and a group of five other people took a train from the capital to Tianjin, and then transferred to a ship through Tianjin Tanggu to study in Western countries. However, he did not know that on this day, the famous "assassination of the five foreign ministers" in the history of the late Qing Dynasty occurred.
The name of the assassin, Wu Fan (pseudonym, real name is unknown), a member of the "Guangfu Society", he carried a bomb on the special train taken by the five ministers, intending to die with everyone on the car, but after the bomb detonated, the five ministers were only frightened and injured, while Wu Fan himself was blown to pieces.
According to the archives revealed by the Qing court, Wu Fan wanted to pretend that the train attendant was close to the five ministers, but his Tongcheng dialect betrayed him, and the people on the car spoke all of them with a Beijing accent, and a few were Tianjin accents.
Afterwards, someone found the suicide note that Wu Fan was carrying, which, although stained with blood, was still clearly written, and it said that he had no accomplices and had committed the assassination by himself. This suicide note is obviously "there is no silver in this place for three hundred and two", and the fool can see that this is just a lie made up to avoid implicating others.
Afterwards, an accomplice named Zhang Rong was arrested. He claimed that his real name was Zhang Huanrong, a native of Jinan, Shandong, who joined Hongmen to overthrow the Manchu Qing, and was then introduced to the Guangfu Society and became a key member.
Soon after, Zhang Rong escaped from prison with the help of a folk master, who was Gong Baosen, a big man in the jianghu. If it were not for Gong Baosen's rescue, Zhang Rong would have been cut off by the Qing court, let alone exiled to Japan and become a member of the Alliance.
And Gong Baosen, who helped Zhang Rong escape from prison, would never have imagined that this move would involve decades of jianghu feuds, and it would even more affect his master brother Ding Lianshan.
Zhang Rong lived in Japan for a long time, during which he had frequent exchanges with the Japanese "Black Dragon Society", and there are still two theories about whether he works for the Black Dragon Society. After the Xinhai Revolution, Zhang Rong returned to the northeast and established the "Fengtian United Rapid Advancement Association" and became a figure on the side of the famous earthquake.
At that time, when the "King of the Northeast" Zhang Zuolin was sitting in Fengtian, shouldering the posts of commander of the defense of Fengtian City and the commander of the suppression of bandits, he saw that Zhang Rong was powerful, so he wanted to take him and set up his own prestige. So he sent people to meet Zhang Rong five times and claimed that he was willing to "revolutionize" with him. When Zhang Rong personally went to the headquarters to meet Zhang Zuolin, he was shot in the head by a killer who was ambushed and died.
It seems that Zhang Rong, a negligent person, should bear the greatest responsibility for his own death. However, Gong Baosen, who was a member of the Alliance, was not satisfied, and he wanted to take over Zhang Rong's banner and lead the "Rapid Advancement Association". Ding Lianshan, who was a master brother, thought that he could only harm himself by doing so, and advised him, "The revolution is not something that people like you and I can do!" ”
This remark shows that the master brother's city government is very deep. This time, Gong Baosen followed the advice of the master brother and did not make a big mistake.
Sure enough, after Zhang Zuolin killed Zhang Rong, he wanted to cut down his accomplices and forces. However, Zhang Zuolin did not know who Was Zhang Rong's accomplice, so he set up a bureau for this purpose. He ordered the release of a Japanese ronin named Bo Wu ghost in Fengtian Prison, who was a dual member of the Black Dragon Society and the Alliance Society, and after Fengtian was arrested, he was beaten and insane.
In order to prevent this Japanese madman from harming others, and in order to save his master and disciple, Ding Lianshan gave up his personal safety, and after killing Bo Wujie, he was forced to die in the end of the world, and finally hid in the golden building of Foshan, Guangdong Province, and did the lowly work of "big teapot".
During this period, Ding Lianshan wrote the "Trivia of Returning to Tibet", in which he wrote that he and his disciple Gong Baosen were reunited in the Golden Building nearly twenty years after bo Wu ghost's death, and at this time, the master and disciple not only became the head of the Bagua Gate, but also shouldered the great responsibility of peace between the north and the south. Under the name of the "Chinese Martial Arts Association", he would contact the martial artists of the North and the South to support the Nanjing government and swear to protect the country together.
Gong Baosen went to the Golden Building to play, he did not know that his master brother was here, with a bowl of hot soup, he knew that the master brother was hidden here. Ding Lianshan recorded the scene when he met his disciple in the "Trivia of Returning to Tibet", in which he wrote: "I have no other long words, only to Baotian Dao: 'On the other day, I shot and killed Bo Wu Ghost, and I fell into the ghost path.' After that, you and I are like clothes, er is a table, I am a li, although they are dependent on each other, they are not mutually exclusive. However, when discussing peace between the north and the south, remember that it is not appropriate to cross the wood into the stove and be too hasty, and you must also learn to 'wear a leather jacket'! ”
In Wong Kar-wai's "A Generation of Grandmasters", this description was put on the screen and mentioned many times, becoming "some people live themselves as lizi, and some people live themselves as faces."
In fact, these words can really be described as a long-hearted statement, which is the truth that Ding Lianshan realized after decades of wandering in the rivers and lakes, which is intended to tell the master and disciple not to take too seriously those grievances and portal disputes in the rivers and lakes, and to keep a sober mind and not be used by others. People who study martial arts, don't touch something they shouldn't touch, the so-called "martial arts" and "chivalry" are just exaggerated and hypocritical concepts in the world. What is really important, apart from being unashamed, is left with only a life. Throughout the ages, how many loyal and righteous warriors and martial arts masters have been seduced or used by the imperial court, and when they are used up, they kick away like night pots.
However, this teaching was not listened to by Gong Baosen, and he either thought that the master and brother were old and confused. That night, many Guangdong martial arts masters gathered above the Golden Tower, and these people did not accept Gong Baosen's call, and they also looked down on this northern martial artist. Gong Baosen's disciples quarreled with the disciples of a local martial artist, and the two sides used force on the spot.
The sound of the quarrel disturbed a stupid boy in the big smoke house next door, this person was born in Lianxing Tantou Village, Nanhai Luo Village, his ancestors were engaged in the business of medicinal materials, the family was rich and solid, and in his generation, he did not worry about eating and drinking, and he was completely uninterested in business, preferring to study the doorway in boxing. This time, the martial arts masters gathered in the Golden Building, but in fact, they did not invite him, and when he found that many martial arts masters were in the Golden Building, he could no longer sit still. After coming forward, he not only knocked over Gong Baosen's disciple Ma San on the spot, but also injured Gong Baosen himself. When this stupid disciple became famous in one fell swoop, people knew that his name was Ip Ji Man, which is what we now know ip man.
Many people often after hearing the lyrics of "a laugh in the sea, a tide on both sides of the strait", they yearn for the beauty of the rivers and lakes, and praise those jianghu heroes who are happy to take revenge. In fact, the jianghu is not so beautiful, full of interests and killing, the competition between the sects has never stopped for thousands of years, like Qiao Feng, Ling Huchong and other great heroes only appear in the novel, the real jianghu does not have such a character, in other words, "the jianghu is not fighting and killing, but more is the sophistication of human feelings." ”
