Chapter 3: Watch videos to gain experience
For dinner, I added some yam to the leftover rice to make porridge, stir-fried a plate of green vegetables, cut a chicken leg into pieces and cooked it, put it in cold water, seasoned it briefly, and then returned to the pot and stir-fried.
Due to strenuous activities throughout the afternoon, he ate none of the food he cooked.
After eating, I felt less than ninety percent full, so I got up and went downstairs to walk around to eat.
After returning to his residence, he began to search for Tai Chi videos on his mobile phone, hoping to see if he could improve his experience by watching videos.
Wang An watched the video carefully one by one.
He found that the higher the ranking of videos, the less "content" they actually had. They were either beauties and handsome men, or they were sensational.
Some of these people have only scratched the surface and don’t even know how to stand the most basic stance. Some of them haven’t even learned the basics yet. They just practice intimidating people and do whatever they want to attract people. It’s probably just to attract attention. , earn traffic.
He watched patiently step by step.
“Well, there seems to be something about this video.”
After watching a video of a man who claimed to have won a Tai Chi competition explaining Wuji Zhuang, Wang An felt that he had gained something.
“Tai Chi experience +2.”
The prompts will follow.
“It’s really useful, you can gain experience by watching the video!” After all, this is also a process of learning and improvement.
Then he followed the person’s explanation in the video, combined with what he had just learned, and practiced Wuji Zhuang for a while, and he really found some feeling in the process of standing.
Tai Chi experience +3.
“Not bad, not bad.” Wang An immediately followed this person’s video account, and then looked at several other videos he had recorded.
This person explains all about Tai Chi, stances, boxing frames, footwork, breath and breathing, and fighting techniques.
Very straightforward explanations without any bells and whistles, which also results in a low click-through rate for these videos.
Wang An watched video after video, and the time came to nine o'clock unknowingly.
“You watched the Tai Chi video and gained a little bit.”
The prompt appears again.
“Yes, it’s good to have something gained, it’s time to rest.”
He warmed his feet and went to bed to rest. This was the rare time in recent years that he went to bed before 9:30.
Lying on the bed, closing my eyes, having trouble falling asleep, thinking about something in my mind.
The past, future plans, and what kind of life you will live in the future.
While thinking about it, I fell asleep.
In the dream, he dreamed that he was healthy, wandering among the green mountains and green waters, unrestrained, and extremely relaxed and at ease.
When he woke up again, the room was already bright, and the clock hanging on the wall pointed to past seven o'clock. There was no alarm clock, and he slept until dawn.
“Huh, I haven’t slept so comfortably for a long time.” He stretched out on the bed.
Some people say that the best way to take care of your body is to get enough sleep every day.
The human body can be said to be fragile or weak, and it can be said to be strong or strong. It has a strong ability to repair itself.
The process of sleep is a process of rest and self-repair.
There is no need to get up in a hurry, eat breakfast in a hurry, or run to catch the bus.
The busy life of these past few years has suddenly slowed down.
After washing up, I made a breakfast. After eating, I put on my sports clothes and went out to the park.
On the streets, pedestrians are rushing and cars are busy. The city wakes up early after a short nap.
When he arrived at the park, before the old man named Li Juewen came, Wang An started practicing Wuji Zhuang on the spot.
Concentrate your mind, relax your body, slowly adjust your body while standing, and feel the changes.
While he was practicing, Li Juewen also came to the park. When he saw Wang An practicing, he didn't rush to call him, but watched quietly from the side.
More than twenty minutes later, Wang An finished his work and breathed a long sigh of relief. He saw the old man staring at him from the side.
“Uncle Li, you are here.”
“You have a very good understanding, and this Wuji pile already has some shape.” The old man said with a smile.
He also pointed out a few things that Wang An did not practice correctly.
“Today I will teach you boxing. Tai Chi is divided into some schools, Wudang, Yang, Wu, etc.
The most widely circulated version now is Tai Chi, a derivative of health-preserving Tai Chi, in which some of the practical martial arts methods have been deleted. I learned Yang Style Tai Chi. "
He then began to teach Wang An Tai Chi moves. It is still simplified Tai Chi, with a total of twenty-four postures.
After Li Juewen explained it carefully to Wang An, he then started to practice boxing. He practiced very slowly, practicing and explaining at the same time.
“Real Tai Chi focuses on the thirteen postures, and the Eight Diagrams and Five Behaviors are thirteen. The thirteen postures are not about fixed routines and postures, but boxing techniques. Tai Chi has no fixed method, and movement is the method.”
The old man talked eloquently about Tai Chi.
This morning, the old man practiced the twenty-four postures several times, focusing on the first six postures. Wang An was learning and practicing while the old man was guiding him.
“Tai Chi experience +5.
Tai Chi experience +3,
Time will always pass very quickly when you set your mind to do something. The morning passed quickly.
The old man’s cell phone rang.
“Well, I have to pick up my granddaughter. Let’s continue practicing tomorrow.” Li Juewen said with a cheerful smile.
“Okay, thank you.”
“It’s rare for young people to be willing to learn this.” Li Juewen is willing to deal with young people, which makes him feel a few years younger.
At noon, Wang An stewed a small pot of beef and fried a portion of vegetables.
Looking at the phone, I saw two missed calls, the number of the same person, the company department manager. In addition to the phone call, there were several messages.
“Why don’t you come to the company today? I’ll count you as absenteeism.”
“Why don’t you answer the phone? Do you still want to do it? Call me back as soon as you see the message!”
Wang An smiled.
“I’ll go through the resignation procedures in the afternoon.”
I took a nap at noon and felt much more comfortable than when I went to work.
Scan the QR code on the roadside and ride a shared bicycle to the company.
Entering the company, I met a familiar colleague and said hello with a smile.
Looking at the resignation report handed over by Wang An, the manager looked ugly as if he had not had a bowel movement for several days and was suffering from severe constipation. He reluctantly signed his resignation report.
None of the harsh words I prepared in advance were used. It felt like I had gathered all my strength and punched cotton.
Looking at the manager's very ugly expression, Wang An felt very comfortable.
In one afternoon, Wang An completed the resignation procedures without encountering too many obstacles.
Several colleagues with whom he got along well on weekdays heard that he had resigned and asked him to get together, but he declined.
Getting together is just a matter of complaining and saying bad things.
People walk with tea to cool down, and the rivers and lakes are far away. We will see each other again if we are destined.
On the way back, Wang An bought a casserole to prepare more stews with less oil and less salt.
A pot of porridge and a vegetarian dish for dinner.
For stomach problems, treat it in three parts and nourish it in seven parts.
