Zhang Zian first went back to the bedroom to put on his gray Chinese tunic suit. In fact, such a tight and inelastic suit was not suitable for practice, during which process the crotch might be split open at any second. But he looked more handsome in this suit…he had seen clearly that there were several beautiful and young foreign girls among the crowd.
He opened the door again. Having been prepared this time, he immediately displayed the fist-palm salute like a gentleman.
Another round of cheers and applause burst out. It was like this quiet neighborhood was enjoying Halloween again. Almost everyone raised their cell phones to take photos or record videos of him. Zhang Zian even noticed that there was a very professional reporter and a videographer.
The television industry in the United States was well-developed. There were so many television stations that even individuals could apply for television licenses. Judging from the shabby looks of the reporter and the videographer, who didn’t even have a special van with them, they probably were not from a national television station. Strategically, Zhang Zian disdained them; yet tactically, he still quietly straightened his suit…
As soon as she saw him, the female reporter immediately extended her microphone to him. ”Hello, my name is Jane. I am a reporter from a local television station. I heard that you are a Kung Fu Master from China, is that correct? Can you accept our brief interview?” ”
The female reporter was speaking very fast, but Zhang Zian was able to understand the gist of what she was saying. Although he had only been in the United States for a few days, he felt that his English proficiency had already improved greatly. After all, he was surrounded by English speakers, and such an immersive learning atmosphere was not replicable in China.
For the first time in his life, Zhang Zian was being interviewed by a reporter, a female reporter, so he was somewhat clumsy and restless. However, he was not responsible for speaking to her. Richard was not nervous at all, for it had previously been interviewed many times.
”I am the Master. What do you want to ask? But please make it quick, I'm in a hurry.” said Richard, and Zhang Zian synchronized himself with its speaking.
Jane was relieved, ”OK, how long have you been in the United States? How do you feel about it?”
She wore a grey professional suit. She was mediocre-looking, but was full of enthusiasm and vitality.
”A few days. The neighbors are very nice— they are very warm and hospitable, and I enjoy the life here.” Richard responded very well.
”It is said that you practice Kung Fu here every morning, right? Will you practice it today?” Jane asked, her tone full of expectation. After all, she came here not only for the purpose of interviewing. If she could also record the Kung Fu practicing, it could help her gain appreciation from the boss of her television station—for no other peers in the industry were here currently. In other words, she had gotten an exclusive interview!
Exclusive interview! What a rare opportunity.
”Of course,” said Richard affirmatively.
Hearing this, the spectators, who were worried that the show wouldn’t be performed, were finally relieved.
”Great, can we shoot the whole process? I notice that everyone is looking forward to your performance, so it must be brilliant!” said Jane.
”No, you've got it wrong,” rectified Richard, imitating the pretentious tone of Zhang Zian, ”I’m not practicing Kung Fu for entertainment. I’m just following where my heart leads me to. Through mindful breathing, I can balance the five elements in my body, and absorb the Qi of the universe for my own sake. Through practicing martial arts, I can achieve the realm where I have become an integral part of nature.”
Jane could barely understand what he said, but at least she learned that the Kung Fu Master was powerful. As for whether what he said was true or not, she didn’t care. She just wanted to attain a piece of big news.
Since it was early in the morning, Zhang Zian figured that the CFA Tournament could not have started so early. So, he walked slowly to the center of the lawn, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and breathed mindfully.
Someone suddenly screamed, ”Look there! Look at the lawn in front of the Master!”
Following the sound, people looked at the lawn. The videographer also adjusted the focus, aiming at a patch of green grass in front of Zhang Zian.
Today's weather was very good, without a bit of wind, but as Zhang Zian’s chest was heaving up and down, the patch of lawn seemed to be swaying back and forth—when Zhang Zian inhaled, the grass waved towards him; and when he exhaled, the grass waved towards the opposite direction.
