History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 94
Wu Gongyi is the third generation descendant of "Wu Style Taijiquan". His father "Wu Jianquan" is the founder of "Wu Style Taijiquan". His ancestor "Wu Quanyou" is a generation of famous Taiji masters.

Wu Gongyi himself became the chief instructor of martial arts in SD Province when he was 20 years old. Later, he served as an instructor of "Shanghai Jingwu Sports Association" and Whampoa Military Academy. At the age of 38, he came to Hong Kong to establish "Jianquan Taijiquan Club". A group of martial arts practitioners who went to Hong Kong.

His father "Wu Jianquan" is one of the founders of the Capital Sports Institute. He once served as a professor of the Shanghai Jingwu Association and the National Martial Arts Museum, and also defeated the American Hercules "William" in the capital. representatives.

His brother "Wu Gongzao" also successively served as the instructor of the army, the director of the Jingwu Association, and the chief instructor of Hunan Province. After the war, Taijiquan flourished, and the Wu family contributed a lot. "Capital Sports Institute".

At present, both Wu Gongyi and Wu Gongzao have moved to Hong Kong Island and rely on "Jianquan Taiji Club" to provide their families with a full meal.

Mainly as a door-to-door tutor for the children of wealthy Chinese businessmen, as a physical education teacher, Chen Kefu is the successor of White Crane Boxing who has just won the "Golden Belt of the Far East Boxing Champion".

The current Hong Kong Island has been immigrated due to a large number of defeated people after the war. There are many literati and martial artists, and there are descendants of various factions.

As a result, the boxing gym industry has risen, and the cultural industry has also given birth to the "New Culture Movement". A large number of boxers and literati are trying to become famous.

Originally, the martial arts competition between Chen Kefu and Wu Gongyi was deliberately heated up in order to stand out. First, Wu Gongyi made a lot of nonsense in an interview with the "Voice of Chinese" newspaper, saying that Taijiquan has strong practical strength and is willing to accept challenges from all Chinese and Western boxers.

Then the freshly released Far East boxing champion Chen Kefu read the newspaper, wow, what a great opportunity to become famous!Sign up for the challenge now!
Originally, Wu Gongyi just wanted to brag, but he didn't expect that someone who didn't know martial arts came forward, and he had to fight for his family's reputation.

At that time, Wu Gongyi was already in his fifties and his body was aging. Chen Kefu was in his 30s, and he didn't talk much about martial arts. Jiang Hei went down to the ring to fight Chen Kefu. The result was one win and one loss in the first two rounds. In the third round, the two broke the rules and greeted each other with random punches.

At that time, people in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan heard about the incident, and there were over a million followers. It was a sensation, and the tie ending was not satisfactory.

It was even rumored that Wu-style Taijiquan was closely related to a rich man in Haojiang, and the ring was held in Haojiang to warn Chen Kefu that he could not win.

Otherwise, Chen Kefu will have to enter Haojiang to feed the fish!There are also rumors that the Haojiang casino opened, collecting tens of millions, and manipulating the boxing match behind the scenes.

No matter what the facts are, while the citizens are very regretful, some newspapers pay attention to the readers' enthusiasm for martial arts, so they specially invite "Jin" and "Liang" to write serial martial arts novels. This is how the era began.

In this boxing match that actually took place on January 1954, 1, the key figures were already available, and they were all "bottom figures" that He Dingxian could handle.

A Tai Chi martial artist who is supported by a military officer, no matter how famous he is in the martial arts circle, or how prestigious he was, after fleeing Hong Kong, his decline and hardship are the bottom!

You can only use a pen, and the literati whose assets in the mainland have been confiscated are even more effortless.

As a newspaper man, create hot spots without hot spots!
He Dingxian wanted to hype up hot spots and revitalize the "Oriental Daily", so he naturally had to contact "Jin" and "Liang" first, and then contact the boxer.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the four of "Jin", "Liang", "Wu" and "Chen" don't give face. Among the large number of people who fled after the war on Hong Kong Island, there are not a few who have suitable backgrounds, literary and military talents!

Speaking of it, this big competition is a bit like the big challenge of the "Master of Hunyuan Taiji Xingyi" in the last century. It can be seen that no matter what era the Chinese people have a natural love for the competition in the arena!No wonder readers have "martial arts plots" that make martial arts novels popular for 30 years!

Wu Gongyi probably has more real materials than the "horse master", at least he didn't lose too badly in front of boxers, which led to Wu's Taijiquan becoming popular after the competition. There were many applicants for "Jianquan Taiji Club", in Singapore, Southeast Asian countries such as Kuala Lumpur and Manila have established branches, and the martial arts competition in Haojiang is more like a "martial arts road show".

He Dingxian asked Zhu Youzi, "Did you tell them that you came to the newspaper to write martial arts novels, not as a column editor?"

"said."

Zhu Youzi said helplessly: "It's because of writing novels that I didn't come. When Yao Fulan refused, she said that being an editor earns more than writing novels, and her salary is more stable than manuscript fees. Writing novels is a dead end."

"Uh..." He Dingxian was in a daze for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'm still being stupid. Now everyone thinks that writing novels has no future, so how could they write novels with improper editing?"

"You ask them, if you don't need to work for "Oriental Daily", can you write novels part-time after get off work? A word is calculated as one cent (one point)."

Lardboy nodded: "I'll try again."

"Well." He Dingxian nodded, lit a cigarette, threw out the match and asked again: "Look for Wu Gongyi from Jianquan Taijiquan Club, Ah Wen from Ye's Wing Chun School, and Chen Kefu. , and then find someone who is famous enough to fight."

"I want to hold a boxing match. It will be lively and popular. You know what?"

Lard Boy was surprised at first, and immediately agreed: "Understood."

He immediately associated boxing matches with martial arts novels, and he had to say that the big boss is really good at business.

He Dingxian said with satisfaction: "Remember to treat Master Wu and Master Ye with greeting cards and be polite, otherwise you will be hung up as a villain in the future."

"You have enough bad spots for being a villain, don't let yourself be black again, or your children and grandchildren will be ugly." For those who will be on TV in the future, special care must be taken.

No one wants to be scolded.

Lardboy didn't understand what the big boss was worried about, but he nodded as usual and said, "Got it, be polite..."

"Damn, I don't even have a wife, why should I be afraid that my children and grandchildren will look ugly?" He secretly complained.

On the contrary, the wedding between Ni Kun and A Yun was completed last month, and all the brothers who are friendly have gone.

The four inspectors in Wanchai all gave red envelopes to the big boss.

The sedan chair team, big pigs, and tsk tsk are really beautiful.

The big boss not only spent more than 500 yuan on the scene, but also wrapped a big red envelope of [-] yuan. Akun really keeps up with the good boss!

It seems that his wife is pregnant this month?

Lard boy really wanted to ask him if his cart feet were soft...

The next day, in the morning, a literati whose original name was Chen Wentong, whose pen name was Liang Ruhui, and who would be called "Liang Yusheng" in the future, was wearing a jacket and glasses, and walked downstairs to work at Ta Kung Pao.

The reason why he did not allow the "Oriental Daily" to solicit him the day before yesterday was that the price given by "Oriental Daily" was too low, and that "New Evening News" was more promising as one of the supplements of "Ta Kung Pao", and thirdly, it was really not good. Write martial arts novels.

At this time, before he even entered the company, he saw a familiar fat boy squatting at the door eating steamed buns. Seeing him coming, he put down the steamed stuffed buns and got up and said, "Mr. Liang."

"My surname is Chen." Chen Wentong smiled helplessly, and had long been used to it: "You can call me Mr. Liang."

The pen name is originally the second name of a literati, and once famous, it is more representative than the real name.

Zhu Youzai said: "Are you interested in writing novels for "Oriental Daily" part-time? Every word is worth a penny. I will personally pay you 20 yuan a month."

"Help me, my big boss really appreciates your article."

Chen Wentong saw him pretending to beg, but he had a calculation in his heart, one word was worth one penny, and he could get one hundred Hong Kong dollars for writing [-] words a month.

Adding the 20 yuan promised by Lard Boy, the total is 120 yuan, and the price is already not low.

Because he works in a newspaper office and only pays 170 yuan a month.

At his usual writing speed, it's easy to make [-] a month after get off work, and he can make [-] with a little bit of ruthlessness.

"Row!"

Chen Wentong gritted his teeth and agreed.

Lard Boy looked pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Mr. Liang, just submit the manuscript to the "Oriental Daily" in Wanchai after writing, and the manuscript fee will be reported to the society for settlement."

"Come on, this is 240 yuan, and you can get the bonus for one year." He actually took out a stack of Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and put them in Chen Wentong's hands.

Chen Wentong felt a little unreal when he accepted the Hong Kong dollar and held it in his hand, but he ran away with the people before he could thank Lard Boy.

"It's impossible not to work after receiving other people's money." Chen Wentong sighed in his heart, walked up the stairs and entered the newspaper building, just arrived at the desk to put things away, and planned to water the potted plants as usual, when Zha Niangyong, who was on the opposite side of the table, came He said, "Mr. Zhu was looking for you just now?"

"Ah."

Chen Wentong nodded in agreement, seeming a little ashamed, while Zha Niangyong said: "One cent per word, the price is good, you can write about your family's difficulties."

Chen Wentong had already guessed that Mr. Zhu would definitely find him again, and he was not surprised, because his father just passed away the year before last, and it was difficult to live in Hong Kong Island. Unlike Cha Niangyong, who had family support, he was naturally not as noble with backbone.

Of course, he himself doesn't like to write martial arts novels. Without it, there are not many readers. How can he be as popular as writing a column?
"Zha Sheng, your writing is better than mine. Maybe you can negotiate a better price. I think their newspaper office loves talents, so I think they will agree." Chen Wentong said suddenly.

Zha Niangyong shook her head: "That tabloid office is also writing dog classics and martial arts novels. It has no future and is a waste of energy."

"Writing martial arts novels is not as comfortable as writing literati teahouses. If you ask me, I would rather starve to death than write martial arts novels." He took a sip of tea after speaking.

Chen Wentong laughed and said, "Can you write a word for one yuan?"

Cha Niangyong's expression was taken aback: "Really?"

"Of course it's fake." Chen Wentong laughed out loud: "Where there is a fee of one yuan per word, I will write until the end of time."

In fact, no literati wanted to write martial arts novels from the very beginning, including "Liang Yusheng" and "Jin Yong", all of them were greedy for money.

For literati like them, writing articles is superior, and writing novels has to serve readers, can it be the same!Only when you see huge benefits can you let go of your arrogance and be willing to serve readers.

When He Dingxian received the news that "Liang Yusheng" agreed to write a novel for "Oriental Daily", he felt happy and also felt that it was reasonable, because "Liang Yusheng" did not have the same literary background as "Jin Yong" (Cousin Jin Yong is a new moon. Mr. Xu, the representative of the school, his father and Lu Xun are classmates, and Mr. Lu Xun is from the same hometown, and the Zhejiang gang of literati is very powerful in the literary world), so Liang Yusheng must be more willing to bow down.

In addition, Kim Yong actually has strong ambitions and aspirations, both in business and in the literary world. He belongs to the pretentious and ambitious generation. In comparison, Liang Yusheng is also more talkative and not easy to run away.

There is a "Liang Yusheng" as the pillar, and a few literati fleeing Hong Kong are recruited to form a team. Even if everything is ready for the serialization of martial arts novels, the only thing that needs to be done is Dongfeng, who is in the "Wulin".
