Chapter 49 Asking you for a favor

Following the guidance of volunteers and association staff, Li Shu went to the conference stage exhibition hall and sat down.

When he appeared on the show before, Li Shu wore a mask the whole time and wore the same style of clothes.

Now he has changed his hair style to a fresh one, removed his mask, and is wearing clothes that are very different from his previous clothes. No one can recognize him as Li Shu from the Family Mediation Room program.

Even though the surveillance video captured his face, the distance was too far and the image quality was blurry, making it impossible to identify him.

To be honest, the Wushu Association's anniversary celebration was completely different from what Li Shu had imagined.

He originally thought it would be a grand event where only people in the martial arts association would exchange martial arts with each other. He also wanted to come to discuss and communicate with those old masters, gain experience points, and learn something along the way.

But I didn’t expect that the so-called 50th anniversary celebration was actually a martial arts performance?

He watched as waves of people wearing Taekwondo robes, Tai Chi suits and other martial arts clothes entered the backstage, apparently preparing for the boxing performance on stage later.

Li Shu was greatly disappointed. He could still get some benefits from watching those old-timers boxing, but the performance...

After hundreds of years of evolution in martial arts, killing techniques have gradually disappeared from the sight of ordinary people. For the sake of the country and the health of the people, martial arts are highly respected and slightly modified, turning it into a physical fitness exercise suitable for all ages.

The martial arts performance transforms the ruthlessness of martial arts into beauty.

Martial arts associations in various places have always responded to the call of the country and carry out various martial arts promotion activities together with communities and schools every year. Most of the guests at this 50th anniversary celebration are the surrounding residents.

With nothing to do, Li Shu noticed that the number of performers in neat costumes was very neat.

There are 50 people in Taekwondo, one person takes the lead, and the remaining 49 people form a queue of seven or seven in an orderly manner at the back. The same is true for Tai Chi, which must be in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Wushu Association.

"Hey, why are there only 48 people in this team?"

Li Shu noticed that a group of people wearing long-sleeved military robes were missing two people compared to other teams.

I don't know what they are performing.

After sitting for a long time, I didn't see Zhang Quansheng or Liu Bolong.

Thinking about it, after all, he is the vice-president, and he is busy with work, so he has no time to show up casually. I think that my encounter with them was also accidental.

The conference began. To be honest, Li Shu felt quite sad for traditional martial arts.

In the entire 1,000-person conference hall, only less than one-fifth of the people were seated. In other words, including some staff and association personnel, there were only nearly 200 people in total...

He estimated that the actual audience was less than a hundred people.

Now he knew why Zhang Quansheng was eager to pull him over...

because

There are really too few people attending the anniversary celebration, and it’s only a matter of one if we can get one...

The emcee of the conference began to speak, and she told everyone about the process of the conference...

First, the vice president delivered a speech for the anniversary meeting.

Accompanied by sparse applause, Zhang Quansheng appeared in the center of the stage.

With a head full of white hair, he was in high spirits. He seemed to have become accustomed to the lack of audience guests, but he was still optimistic.

Li Shu smiled cheerfully when he saw that he hadn't even started speaking, as if there was fire in his eyes.

Maybe this is passion. Persistence and love for something can lead to such an expression.

"Promoting Chinese martial arts, promoting the development of mass martial arts sports, enhancing the physical fitness of citizens, improving the collectivism and patriotism spirit of the people participating in martial arts activities, and advocating everyone to contribute to a harmonious society are the purposes and work goals of the Shijiang Martial Arts Association. Over the years …”

"The following is a martial arts performance, please enjoy it."

After talking for a long time, he finally finished. The old man was really angry.

Although various aspects have proved that martial arts can strengthen the body, Zhang Quansheng is already over eighty years old, but he is still full of energy and strength.

Noticing Li Shu's gaze, Zhang Quansheng nodded and smiled kindly at him, and Li Shu responded politely.

As the first martial arts performance, Shaolin Boxing, started, the first row of the auditorium was filled with people wearing Chinese tunic suits, and Li Shu also wondered what they were doing.

"Li Shu."

Li Shu turned around and saw Zhang Quansheng, sitting towards him.

Unexpectedly, when the vice president of the Wushu Association stepped down, no one came up to say hello to him?

You must know that those small section chiefs and small leaders are all flattered and flattered not only at the wine table but also at work. Judging from the situation, this martial arts association probably does not have much oil, water or power.

There is no interest relationship, so naturally no one will criticize him.

Li Shu stood up to greet him: "President Zhang."

Zhang Quansheng smiled brightly: "How is it?"

He motioned to Li Shu to watch the Shaolin boxing being performed on the stage.

After taking a quick look, I saw that the original power of Shaolin boxing was abandoned for the sake of beauty. From the corner of my eye, I also noticed that the people in the Zhongshan suits in the first row were whispering to each other, shaking their heads as they talked, and the pens in their hands seemed to be recording something.

Li Shu: "Which aspect do you want me to evaluate?"

Zhang Quansheng's smile remained unchanged: "Tell me what you think?"

Li Shu shook his head: "It's not very good."

"oh?"

"Whether it's purely about Shaolin boxing or performance, it's all bad. It's too soft and abandons the sense of strength for the sake of beauty. Changing its essence in order to promote martial arts has deviated from the original intention of martial arts."

Zhang Quansheng's smile faded: "Well, I don't know this. Unfortunately, some things are far from being as simple as we think."

Li Shu: "So, there is still a long way to go to spread martial arts..."

The two of them were like close friends, talking to each other. Suddenly, Zhang Quansheng shouted "President" from the immersed place.

The person who came was his assistant. The male assistant glanced at Li Shu.

Zhang Quansheng: "Tell me."

Assistant: "There are not enough people in Baji Quan. Two people have bad stomachs last night and are now in the hospital. We have temporarily found one person, and there is still one person left!"

Zhang Quansheng frowned: "Can't find anyone?"

"There are three more performances of Bajiquan, and we can't find them at this time!"

After pondering for a while, Zhang Quansheng looked at Li Shu solemnly.

"Li Shu, have you seen those people in the first row?"

Li Shu nodded.

"They were sent by the province to inspect. It happens to be the 50th anniversary of our Shijiang Martial Arts Association. They will use our association's anniversary as a test standard. Whether the martial arts performances of our association members pass their standard line will be discussed with the provincial government in the future.

Our funding allocations are closely linked."

"I know you know Baji Quan, so can I ask you for a favor?"
