The leisurely life of rebirth.

Fang Monan folded his left palm and right fist together, his arms were rounded, with a pair of smiling eyes, he cupped his hands and said, "Should I also say, make friends with martial arts, let it go! Let it go!"

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

The two fat men laughed unceremoniously, "噗嗤..."

"How do you understand the ritual of clapping fists in the Jianghu?" Liang Zi asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten that martial arts in the world come from Shaolin!" Fang Monan teased with a smile. "Go and sit in the pavilion, foolishly turning into a snowman!"

"The handshake ceremony is a traditional etiquette in China, but it is hardly used now. It is a handshake ceremony in the West." Liang Zi laughed.

"The handshake in the West seems to have originated from knights fighting with swords. Originally, knights had to wear gloves during a duel. Shaking hands meant that I did not bring dueling equipment to show friendship. But now I extend my hand to shake hands when we meet. It feels really bad. It's not clean, or it's dirty, what should I do if it still infects bacteria or keep my fists clean." Fang Monan raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Especially when you're in the bathroom."

Fatty imagined that kind of scene, and when he was urinating, "Oh!" He quickly shook his head, "It's better to give a hug."

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

"Holding the boxing ceremony, also known as 'arch', is an ancient meeting ceremony, where the hands are put together in front of the chest to show respect. There is such a record in "The Analects of Confucius": Zilu stands arched.

From a hygienic point of view, shaking hands is the least hygienic.Holding fists is friendly and hygienic;

Culturally, shaking hands is not our thing.And holding fists is a part of traditional culture;

From a comfortable point of view, clasping fists avoids some unnecessary embarrassment, such as between men and women, and between people who are relatively alienated. "

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

"This snow is so heavy!" Fatty said, the footprints where he stood just now have been completely covered up.

Fang Monan looked at the snow that was getting heavier and heavier, "Auspicious snow heralds a good year!"

"Yes! If you stand for a while longer, you will become a snowman." Liang Zi smiled and looked up at the wooden pavilion. "When did you build a thatched pavilion. You can see it at a glance when you look down!" It's pure white, and the scenery is so beautiful.

"It was built in the spring of last year." The fat man said with trepidation, "How is it? Naturally simple and rustic."

"The thatched cottages in the past were poor people in the old society who had no ability or money to build better houses, so they had to rely on themselves to build thatched cottages. The thatched grass does not cost too much money. It is easier to collect. It can also shelter from wind and rain. , That's why poor people choose it to build their residences." Liang Zi said with emotion, "It's really Fengshui. The world has changed. It's really that things are people and things are not things."

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

Maoting is the originator of all kinds of pavilions. It originated from real life. The rest sheds and water cart sheds for resting and sheltering on the side of the mountain road are the original form of Maoting.

This kind of gazebo is mostly made of logs and slightly processed to make beams and columns, or covered with thatch, or covered with bark, which has a natural appeal.Retaining the natural "color", it has the meaning of mountains, wild forests and springs, and has an added simplicity and tranquility of "natural carving".

The thatched pavilion is a mirror that never rusts in the historical countryside, shining like bronze. Regardless of the vicissitudes of life, it still reflects the history of human civilization in the waves of rice and wheat.Like a weather-beaten old man, it is isolated on the verdant field with a honest and simple image, with green hills as its neighbors, kingfishers accompanying it, beard, hair and silver whiskers fluttering gently in the wind, facing the field flowers blooming and falling comfortably.

In the eastern sky, the white belly has already appeared, and the sky and the earth are white. [

"Hey! Brother, when did your kung fu get so good!" the fat man asked curiously. "I was not so good at messing around on the street before."

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Liang Zi waved his hands and said, as if it was a long story.

"You have worked hard all these years." Fang Mo looked at him with gratification, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you are not familiar with the place of life, the hardships of doing business abroad are sometimes more difficult than those in China. America is a very xenophobic country."

Since they were sold as "piggies" to build railways in the Americas, Chinese people have migrated to the United States for more than 150 years. For more than 150 years, the individual joys and sorrows, success and frustration are themselves a vivid human drama.

Sometimes, happiness is only envied or envied by others, but you can never taste the sweetness yourself.

After the reform and opening up, in the [-]s, there was a wave of going abroad.Of course, those who are capable will live a more satisfactory life, but at the same time, more capable people who study abroad also show their talents and go to the United States to work hard.They are a generation with strong ambitions. They regard themselves as "the trendy people of the times", disdain the ordinary, stable and decent "inside the system" life in China, and pursue the kind of "hiccups taste like chocolate" on the other side of the ocean. lifestyle.

After decades of isolation from the West, Chinese people are eager to learn about that strange world.For Chinese people, the United States is a distant, strange and rich land.Many people are dreaming of going abroad, thinking that their destiny will change in that land.In order to realize their dreams, they have to pay a huge price.

Different from the "wave" of immigrants of the rich in later generations, the "wave" of going abroad during this period was that they were the best of a generation, and many of them had degrees from prestigious schools or had a decent "in-system" job.

People in the country think that the moon abroad is rounder than the one in China, so swarms of swarms go abroad. In fact, it is not true. In order to survive, ordinary people do the work of cleaning dishes and serving dishes in restaurants.

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

"It's also thanks to the boss. Without the escort of Hong Yaoqiang and Hongmen, I would not have gone so smoothly." Liang Zi smiled, and there are still people who are not open-eyed to find fault. Although it is the era of hot weapons, this hand I never dared to lose my kung fu, it was used to save my life that day.

"Hongmen, the largest Chinese community in the world, other gangsters should be courteous." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"The underworld forces in foreign countries are very rampant, and you have to face threats from them when you do business." The fat man told himself what he knew, "The American mafia is very famous, like that famous movie, "The Godfather" doesn't mean 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 the United States needs the mafia to maintain international order at certain times. " Fang Monan said with a smile.

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

Liang Zi said, "The American mafia originated from Italy. Since the 20s, it has become a serious problem in American society. In fact, the underworld is the 'midwife of capitalism'. In the 30s, the United States encountered During the Great Depression, the Hoover "administration" at that time adopted a policy of using 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 status of the Mafia in the United States improved. The Mussolini regime in Italy suppressed the Mafia very severely. Out of anti-fascist needs, the Mafia became an "ally" of the United States to some extent at that time. In the latter part of World War II, the U.S. military landed in Sicily, Italy. Sicily is the stronghold of the Mafia. In order to resist Mussolini, the Mafia in Sicily provided a lot of cooperation to the U.S. military, and the U.S. military really needed this kind of cooperation. Therefore, at that time, the U.S. "government" actually had a secret cooperation with the Mafia Since the 50s, the American Mafia has taken shape, with numerous factions, and 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 a mafia family. The biggest effect of this movie is that it beautifies the mafia to the American people. The mafia leaders seem to be very humane, 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, it is not enough to have only black, and on the contrary, it is not enough to have only white. Because they Balance is needed." Liang Zi said meaningfully. "You destroy this today, and tomorrow there will be many gangs, large and small."

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

"Japan is the only country in the world that recognizes the "legality" of gangsters. Yakuza has also become the most public "gangster" with a complete organizational system. All members are well-dressed, wear name tags, and carry business cards with them It's just a tattoo on the back and a hand missing a little finger, according to the regulations, a little finger must be cut off to show loyalty." Liang Zi said.

"Yakuza?" The fat man asked suspiciously.

"The Yamaguchi-gumi, the Inagawa-kai and the Sumiyoshi-kai all belong to this organization." Liang Zi explained. "Rising star Russian gangsters, alas! There are so many gangsters in the row? There are countless."

"We open hotels, especially casinos, how can we bypass the gangsters!" 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 smiled.

Liang Zi laughed, "It makes sense!"

"How to solve this?" Fatty humbly asked for advice.

"What is the underworld? It is a social structure that centralizes and fully controls the power of violence, wealth, and discourse. In a normal and reasonable social regime, the power of violence can only be managed centrally by the "government" and cannot be used by everyone casually; Political power is shared with the society; the right to speak is owned by independent institutions or individuals related to wealth rights. The so-called underworld is the combination of the three powers of violence, wealth, and discourse—the underworld can beat and kill people; the underworld implements commercial monopoly, Eliminate competition; the underworld manipulates the right to speak through charity, intimidation, buying reporters, and buying the media." Fang Monan laughed. (To be continued..)
