Chapter 50: Sharing your passion (2/2)

These types of cars was often talked about by Zhang Tong. Plenty models of the brand could be priced in the ten millions, and with the limited production of several certain models, those could cost well over a hundred million.

Aside from this car, the other cars to the side were equally luxurious: Hummer, Lincoln, and Ferrari. Wang Chao knew that each one was different in specs, but it was still extremely high priced in the end.

The four cars came to a slow stop at the flats before several people walked out of the Rolls-Royces. From the head of the group was a single impressive looking middle aged man.

This middle aged man had a powerful air exuding from each of his movements, giving him the appearance of bossing around people often.

But when Wang Chao compared this man to the municipal secretary Zhu Tianlang together, the two men’s movements and aura were completely different. It was like comparing a small magician to a grand magus.

“This man is far beyond what Zhu Tianlang is.”

With his ability to read body language, this was the only conclusion Wang Chao could reach.

Then, from the Hummer came an arrogant looking woman who wore extremely classy clothing. Wang Chao had seen many wealthy looking clientele from Zhang Tong’s company, but none of them had this woman’s air.

At the same time from the Lincoln and Ferrari came several men and women with just as an impressive of an aura.

From these group of people, Wang Chao could only label them as “Aristocratic” and “Big shots”.

Looking like they were from a single family, they each began to walk into the building with several black suited bodyguards surrounding them.

After a moment, Wang Chao walked in.

“This is a military district with many old people here. This group must be here to see their elders.” Wang Chao thought, but this was a strange thought to him still.

Just as Wang Chao entered the building, an indignant roar could be heard from the second floor.

“Out! Get out of here! You group of bastards, who told you to come visit!” The cry came out once more. Then, the sound of something flying out the window could be heard before landing on the ground.

“Grandfather has lost his mind; mother, father, I’ve said not to come but we still came. This should prove things now!” Came the shriek of a woman/

“That’s right, this old bastard!” A young man cursed out loud.

The sounds of footsteps could be heard before Wang Chao could see the high and mighty family come walking out of the building with an exasperated feeling and the youths swearing along the way.

Making way for them, the family climbed into their cars and peeled away from the district.

“Did this family come to see if their grandfather has gone crazy?” Wang Chao thought before ignoring it and walking back to the room on the third floor.

Just as Wang Chao pushed aside the doors and walked in, he saw grandfather Li and another elderly man in a military uniform talking passionately.

“Brother Li, you tell me. Did I not follow the chairman and prime minister? Did I not fight painstakingly battle after battle and threw off the oppression after being soaked in blood? Did I not exploit the people’s bureaucracy and hosts? I didn’t think that today, my own offspring would become a part of this very bureaucracy and ride on top of power and be deformed by it. By this point, they are no different than what I have fought against…”

“Brother Li, tell me. If this goes on and I die, just how will I face the comrades that were sacrificed for this cause? Wuu….wuuu…..” The elder’s voice began to choke up as he cried, “Just what face do I have to face the chairman, or the prime minister?!”

After this, the elder said no more and continued to cry like a child.

Wang Chao suddenly felt an indescribable feeling overcome him.

He began to think about the many events that had happened within the last decade.

And this man and his mentality.

Elders who had this same way of thinking had all converged in this place, what couldn’t they accomplish?

“Finding strength through passion…” Wang Chao began to mutter sis Chen’s words, “Temper the will and understand the mind…”

After grandfather Li had sent off the other elder and saw Wang Chao standing at the door muttering those words, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

“You speak correctly. This is what it means to find passion, and from passion is to find the strength to temper the will and understand the mind. This is what is truly called the three internal harmonies. What you are lacking right now is that passion to help you grow. My Chinese boxing was formed from the Long March back in 1934. I cannot teach you anything, but I can share with you my passion. However much you gain from this will be up to you.”

“Come with me.” Grandfather Li walked to his study room and pulled at cupboard, revealing a bright yellow suona.

TL Note:

On the suona was a single red ribbon.

Doot, doot! Grandfather Li puffed up his lips and let out two short bursts to test out the suona, emitting a loud sound.

Wang Chao said nothing and continued to observe the elder.

The elder’s chest suddenly expanded, causing his robes to flutter as if plenty of snakes were wriggling around. This was clearly his breath at the works here.

A loud but melodious sound could be heard from the suona.

As Wang Chao listened, he could feel the passionate folk song being emitted from the suona. Each note that came out from the suona were like an sharp arrow that pierced through the air.

The elder’s clothes continued to move up and down with his breathes. Looking at the elder’s posture as he played the suona, he continued to listen to the melody. Wang Chao gradually began to close his eyes as if to to enjoy the music while his own chest began to move up and down with the music.

After some time, the final note was lost in the air, waking Wang Chao out from his stupor only to see the elder sit wearily on the table next to him.

“The passion from my Chinese boxing can be contained from this ballad, the ‘Seeing Off the Red Army’. You can go.”

“Your passion, your Chinese boxing, I know of it now. There is truly no equal power to this.” Wang Chao replied before walking out from the elder’s house.
