086 Contempt
The owner of the Wing Chun Boxing Gallery is the junior brother of Mr. Ye Huai. Although Huang Yifei has not officially accepted Ye Huai as his disciple, he is almost the same as Mr. Ye Huai's disciple. When encountering any problems, it is no problem to ask for help from the uncle of the master as the descendant of Wing Chun.
Of course, this is just a backup thing. Generally, the discipline of the national boxing team is very strict, and the state provides the guarantee behind it. It is difficult to have any accidents at the private level. Mr. Ye gave this contact information more to ask Huang Yifei to visit his fellow uncle and enhance his feelings.
The plane landed at Chicago Orhei International Airport. It is now the afternoon of October 22, and the World Boxing Championships are from October 23 to November 3. There are ten days left for the competition, so the time is relatively abundant.
However, because he is located in the eastern and western hemispheres, in order to reverse the jet lag faster, Huang Yifei and his team did not sleep at night during their physiological time, and just waited for the United States time to sleep before going to bed at night. Therefore, the members of the national boxing team seemed relatively tired at this time.
Staff from the International Amateur Boxing Federation also came to the airport. Following them, staff from the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago, as well as some Chinese and overseas Chinese came to pick them up. Looking at the red flags waving on the sidelines, Huang Yifei and the others were already very tired, but at this time everyone was cheering up to let the Chinese and overseas Chinese see the spirit of the national boxing team.
After all, when people are abroad, athletes represent the image of the country in a sense, especially some expatriates who have lived abroad for a long time, want to see the spiritual side of the athletes in the motherland. Huang Yifei glanced over and even saw an old man with gray hair, constantly wiping his tears with a handkerchief.
Huang Yifei knew what moved the old man. Perhaps the title of Sick Man in East Asia cannot be felt by people in China, but abroad, many older generations of overseas Chinese are very good at it. Seeing that members of the national boxing team came, these team members will use their fists to prove the Chinese's force!
After a welcome ceremony, Huang Yifei and his team got into a special car and went to the hotel where the athletes stayed. This time, nearly 630 boxers from 118 countries and regions will participate in the World Boxing Championship, setting a record for participating in the World Boxing Championship.
So I came to the hotel where I stayed. Due to the large number of people participating in the competition, plus some athletes, coaches, officials, etc., this place is basically the same as a small Olympic village. Boxers from many countries have gathered here for a long time, and the Chinese boxing team has arrived relatively late.
When he entered the hotel, Huang Yifei saw many boxers from other countries, which was different from the last Asian boxing championship. Although there were many foreigners, they were mainly yellow people. Even in some Central Asian countries, most of them had Tatar blood and did not have particularly obvious blonde hair and blue eyes, let alone black people.
This time I came in and saw a large number of black boxers. After all, black people are considered a strong race in the boxing field, and the others are some white people, and there are basically no pure yellow players. The difference in number also shows that Asia is currently lagging behind in the boxing field.
However, Huang Yifei does not think this kind of backwardness shows that the yellow people are not good at fighting. Many yellow people are still at the peak in fighting, such as Pacquiao, Magicado, Boqiu and other fighting players. However, in terms of absolute numbers, they are indeed in a backward stage, and they are not Chinese.
When they entered the hotel lobby, many people began to discuss with each other when they saw the Chinese boxing team coming in. After all, compared with Westerners such as Europe and the United States, China is also a mysterious country. But after a few more glances, Huang Yifei found that this was not a curious discussion, but a kind of ridicule, and even a hint of contempt in his eyes!
That's right, it's just naked contempt! This kind of gaze is different from the strange ignorance of the Asian Boxing Championships before, it's an insulting look.
Because now, not to mention professional boxing champions in China, it is just amateur boxing. Apart from Zou Shimin who won the World Championships, no champion has been born. Even if it is traced back to Chinese fighting players, only the Canadian-born Zhou Billy has won the World Free Fighting Championship.
Most Chinese people may be unfamiliar with the name Zhou Billy, but when they talk about the Japanese general Fujita Okaku in the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" filmed by Jet Li, many people probably think of who he is.
But such a free fighting champion cannot enhance China's status in boxing or even in combat. Especially now, boxing heavyweight superstars have not yet withered, while middleweight Pacquiao and other superstars have not yet fully risen, so boxing is still a sport that values heavyweight as the most respected, and China is even more blank in this regard.
The best result in the heavyweight category is just this World Boxing Championship. Misiti Yushan and Zhang Zhilei won bronze medals in the 91kg and above and above. He is not strong enough, and he can only be despised. This is Huang Yifei's only feeling when he is in the hotel.
Huang Yifei believes that he is not an angry young man, and he usually does whatever he should do. At most, when he wins the championship, his sense of pride and national honor will surge. But at this moment, Huang Yifei felt anger, anger that the country and teammates were looked down upon!
It was in this gaze that Huang Yifei understood why Liang Feng emphasized to himself countless times that he should use his fists to prove the power of the Chinese people like a man. It can be seen that Liang Feng, as the first generation of Chinese boxing industry, has been despised or even contempt for a long time. He longed that Huang Yifei could prove to the world the Chinese fists and become the world boxing champion!
But at this moment, Huang Yifei could not do anything, and the entire Chinese national boxing team could not do anything. Private fights were strictly prohibited, and this was not a problem that private fights could solve. The group of people who had come to the United States happily were completely silent. No one spoke. At the same time, they made a decision in their hearts that they would eventually prove themselves on the ring and prove the rise of Chinese boxing!
