00:00:24 I.O.C. event Presentation Shanghai, China
00:00:41 Wushu, the chinese form of martial art,
00:00:44 should be an olympic event.
00:00:46 It isn't about killing and vengeance,
00:00:48 hatred and anger.
00:00:50 Then what is wushu?
00:00:52 In chinese, wushu means "The way of combat".
00:00:58 Avert. Conflict.
00:01:01 The true definition of wushu is the way to avert conflict.
00:01:05 It's about continually
00:01:07 seeking to better oneself.
00:01:08 Still, it begs the question, why?
00:01:11 Why allow wushu
00:01:12 as an olympic event?
00:01:14 The olympic creed stresses that the most important thing
00:01:17 is not to win, but to take part.
00:01:19 Just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph
00:01:22 but the struggle.
00:01:23 You believe this ideal embodies the spirit of wushu?
00:01:28 Yes. The answer lies over one hundred years in the past...
00:01:33 beginning with one man...
00:01:43 come here.
00:01:56 Get off if you have no money.
00:02:12 Set off.
00:03:27 30 years ago, Huo clan, Tianjin
00:04:57 Young master, we must leave!
00:05:19 Stop!
00:05:22 How dare you!
00:05:24 Who gave you permission to come in?
00:05:26 I was bringing you tea.
00:05:28 How many times have I said, you are not allowed in here!
00:05:35 Go practice your calligraphy!
00:05:43 Go on!
00:06:03 I do your homework everyday.
00:06:06 You'd be in trouble, if your father knew.
00:06:15 Don't say anything and no one will know.
00:06:17 I want to show you something.
00:06:26 Jinsun! Come on!
00:06:29 I'm coming!
00:06:33 - Come on! - I'm coming!
00:06:39 I'm coming!
00:06:53 Why do you take me here?
00:06:55 No one of other clan is allowed here.
00:06:56 Don't worry, I'm here.
00:06:59 Follow me
00:07:04 Declaration of Life and Death.
00:07:06 Every time my dad wins, he gets one of these.
00:07:10 You see how many dad has won!
00:07:12 But your dad is not number one in Tianjin.
00:07:15 My father will be tomorrow.
00:07:18 Why?
00:07:18 Don t ask. You come with me tomorrow
00:07:31 Today's match is between...
00:07:33 Huo Engdi of the Huo clan...
00:07:37 and zhao zhongqiang...
00:07:40 of the zhao clan.
00:07:51 Why are you two here? Looking for trouble?
00:07:54 Your father will lose today.
00:07:55 Our Huo wushu will beat your zhao wushu.
00:07:58 You wait and see.
00:08:00 My dad will let your dad have a taste of zhao's blow.
00:08:03 The Death waiver has been signed.
00:08:06 Win or lose, it's up to you.
00:08:08 Live or die, it's up to god.
00:08:11 Gentlemen, let the contest... begin!
00:08:39 Zhaojian, now your father has tasted...
00:08:40 the Huo wushu!
00:09:15 The winner is...
00:09:17 - zhao zhongqiang! - Thank you!
00:09:31 Yuanjia...
00:09:35 Yuanjia...
00:09:51 Yuanjia, let's go home.
00:09:53 Yuanjia, let's go home.
00:09:57 Look who's here?
00:10:00 Has the cat got your tongue?
00:10:01 Act like a man. Don't be a wuss.
00:10:04 Get up!
00:10:05 Zhao, you've gone too far!
00:10:07 You shut up!
00:10:09 You're won'thless. Your Huo wushu is more won'thless.
00:10:13 Fight me if you dare.
00:10:15 Then you'll know the zhao wushu...
00:10:21 Get up there!
00:10:37 Yuanjia, stop!
00:10:43 Stop!
00:10:57 Now that you've tasted my wushu
00:10:59 you can shut up about yours.
00:11:02 I won, I won!
00:11:06 Yuanjia. Get up, Yuanjia.
00:11:13 Yuanjia, let's get out of here.
00:11:16 I, Huo Yuanjia...
00:11:17 swear never to be...
00:11:19 defeated again!
00:11:21 Jinsun, if you are my friend, please help me.
00:11:27 Hurry up, hurry!
00:11:33 How much longer it is going to take you?
00:11:39 Look!
00:11:46 Get out of here!
00:11:47 Please help me copy it.
00:11:48 Let's go.
00:11:50 Oh, yes, you copy it here
00:11:52 and take the copy home when you finish.
00:11:54 My dad will beat me
00:11:55 if he sees it.
00:12:01 - Come back as soon as you can! - I will!
00:12:04 Be very careful when you copy the last page
00:12:06 on the Exterminating Blow, would you?
00:12:13 Young master, why are you in the master's library?
00:12:16 Are you beaten?
00:12:17 Hurry, the master wants you. Come on.
00:12:21 Are you ok?
00:12:31 Kneel down!
00:12:35 You are fighting again!
00:12:38 I ask you to study, but all you do is make trouble outside.
00:12:42 Laifu,
00:12:44 - bring the rod! - Yes.
00:12:53 Look how he is bruised. There is no rush to punish him.
00:12:59 Master.
00:13:03 - Laifu, - Yes, Madam.
00:13:04 Take the young master back to his room.
00:13:07 Copy confucius' The Analects ten times and give it to me before dinner.
00:13:10 - Do you understand? - Yes.
00:13:20 Let me put some medicine on it.
00:13:25 Lai. You may leave.
00:13:28 Yes.
00:13:36 Why are you upset?
00:13:38 Mother, why doesn't father teach me wushu?
00:13:42 Because he cares about you.
00:13:45 You have asthma.
00:13:47 The training is too much for you.
00:13:49 But it can make me strong.
00:13:53 You want to learn just to be strong?
00:13:57 When I'm good enough, I'll take revenge.
00:13:59 I want zhao to fear our Huo wushu.
00:14:08 My child,
00:14:10 wu Shu is not about winning.
00:14:14 It's about discipline and self-restraint.
00:14:17 One practices wushu...
00:14:21 for...
00:14:24 inner strength...
00:14:26 and to help...
00:14:27 the weak.
00:14:31 Wushu...
00:14:33 is not for revenge.
00:14:37 Respect must be earned.
00:14:39 If I'm really good, everyone will fear me.
00:14:43 Fear and respect...
00:14:44 are not the same.
00:14:49 Now do your penance.
00:14:52 Don't make your father angry.
00:15:12 Have you finished your calligraphy?
00:15:14 Soon.
00:15:16 - How come you do it so slow? - Don't bother.
00:15:18 I'm not going to do it if you keep bothering me.
00:15:19 Ok, I'm going to bother you. Hurry up.
00:16:10 You dare to sign?
00:16:12 Thank you for preparing all this.
00:16:14 This is also what I want to do.
00:16:16 After you, sir!
00:16:36 You win...
00:16:40 Now you have your revenge
00:16:41 and can study well, right?
00:16:49 Your zhao's kung fu is nothing but bungling oafishness.
00:16:50 Today you have a taste of our Huo's kung fu.
00:16:53 Remember, never brag about zhao's kung fu again.
00:16:59 Let me help you, zhaojian.
00:17:00 Get away!
00:17:01 I won!
00:17:17 I won!
00:17:19 Fly... fly... fly...
00:17:22 - You're falling down, falling... - I'm not falling.
00:17:25 - You're falling down, falling... - I'm not falling.
00:17:29 Then father knocks you down...
00:17:32 I'm not falling down.
00:17:46 Be careful with her.
00:17:52 Good morning, Mother.
00:17:55 You didn't take your medicine again.
00:17:58 Mother, since I began training,
00:18:01 my asthma has gone.
00:18:06 Look at your daughter.
00:18:07 You've spoiled her since her mother died.
00:18:11 Your daughter needs a mother.
00:18:13 You should marry again.
00:18:17 Mother, I'm too busy building up the family reputation.
00:18:22 Soon everyone in Tianjin will respect the Huo name.
00:18:25 There's no time for marriage.
00:18:28 Father, I want to go see you fight.
00:18:30 All these years, you haven't lost.
00:18:34 Your most formidable enemy...
00:18:38 lies...
00:18:40 within you.
00:18:42 Oh, I get it.
00:18:50 Young master...
00:18:53 oh, yes.
00:18:57 Mother, why not go take a rest?
00:19:05 Father,
00:19:07 your fist wasrt fast enough...
00:19:09 and your heart wasrt hard enough.
00:19:11 Rest assured, as long as I live,
00:19:14 the Huo family will never lose again.
00:19:30 I'll be the champion of Tianjin.
00:19:33 Father!
00:19:35 Jade!
00:19:40 - For me? - No.
00:19:41 - Please! - No.
00:19:44 When do I get it?
00:19:46 When you win.
00:19:49 - Really! - Yes.
00:19:51 Promise?
00:19:55 Tianjin 1900
00:20:05 Master, you always win.
00:20:10 Master Huo. When you will be the champion of the world?
00:20:14 I don't know. What do you think?
00:20:16 Today! It'll be today!
00:20:40 Hi, zhao!
00:20:42 Where have you been hiding all these years?
00:20:44 I've fought in 38 cities in 17 provinces.
00:20:48 My skills are so good...
00:20:49 that I remain undefeated.
00:20:53 Bullshit!
00:20:54 You're bullshit!
00:20:55 The Death waiver has been signed.
00:20:58 Let the contest begins!
00:21:10 Come! Come on up!
00:21:21 What's the matter? Scared?
00:21:24 Afraid you'll fall and hurt yourself?
00:21:26 In your dreams!
00:21:39 Great! Master!
00:22:45 I am unyielding like a mountain. My legs - the firm bedrock.
00:22:48 Today, Huo wushu becomes history.
00:22:51 Fine! You'll have your chance...
00:22:53 to lose!
00:23:26 - Cat's paw? - Tiger's claw!
00:23:45 Give up!
00:23:51 Great!
00:23:54 You think you'd win so easily?
00:23:56 - Cat's paw! - Tiger's claw!
00:24:18 You've lost!
00:24:30 Be careful!
00:24:40 Master!
00:24:41 - Are you oK? - I'm fine!
00:24:44 So, you're still alive!
00:24:49 - Don't touch me! - Master!
00:24:51 The winner is...
00:24:52 Huo Yuanjia!
00:24:56 Thank you. Thank you.
00:25:02 Thank you. Thank you.
00:25:31 Master,
00:25:32 Thank you.
00:25:34 Congratulations!
00:25:37 Thank you.
00:25:40 This way please, Master Huo.
00:25:41 Thank you.
00:25:43 - Yuanjia! - Hey, Jinsun!
00:25:47 You've just arrived?
00:25:49 Your usual table is ready.
00:25:51 Congratulations!
00:25:58 Thanks, thanks.
00:26:02 Come on! Drink up!
00:26:07 Jinsun, your restaurant is...
00:26:09 more popular than ever.
00:26:11 Thanks to all my friends, it's getting by.
00:26:14 When we were young...
00:26:16 you were such a nerd!
00:26:17 Who could imagine you'd become such a great business man?
00:26:20 No one will pay me to read books all day.
00:26:23 But being a businessman?
00:26:24 It's a living.
00:26:27 Yuanjia, you must try these.
00:26:29 I've recruited the best chefs... from across the country.
00:26:32 Have a taste. Tell me what you think.
00:26:34 Come, come, eat!
00:26:36 Master, after you.
00:26:44 - I'm xia xiang. - I'm xu DaShan.
00:26:46 Please take us as your disciples we want to learn Huo wushu...
00:26:48 and we'll devote ourselves to you!
00:26:51 Good! You look tough enough.
00:26:54 Give them drinks!
00:26:57 Bottoms up and we'll all be brothers.
00:26:59 Cheers!
00:27:01 Master Huo, congratulations!
00:27:03 Thanks, master.
00:27:07 Today is ajoyous occasion.
00:27:08 Everything's on me!
00:27:11 Enjoy!
00:27:13 Have a seat!
00:27:15 Come, come, eat!
00:27:21 Jade!
00:27:22 It's time for bed.
00:27:25 Go tuck her in.
00:27:33 Miss, it's time for bed.
00:27:35 Be a good girl, come on.
00:27:37 It's bed time. Come on...
00:27:57 what's this? It tastes horrible!
00:27:59 It's called "coffee."
00:28:01 A western thing. Not used to it, are you?
00:28:04 These are turbulent times.
00:28:07 Our country has grown weak.
00:28:08 The west is dominating us.
00:28:11 People like me must not...
00:28:13 be concerned only with money.
00:28:15 People like you should not...
00:28:16 be concerned only with fighting.
00:28:19 Our country deserves better.
00:28:21 Politics is for intellectuals.
00:28:24 I'm just a fighter. To be the champion of Tianjin is all I care about.
00:28:28 It's that important to you?
00:28:32 Come, let me show you something.
00:28:34 Jinsun,
00:28:36 you've only... watched a fight from below.
00:28:38 Now you're standing up right here. Do you feel the difference?
00:28:42 What difference?
00:28:46 When you are down there...
00:28:49 life and death up here has nothing to do with you.
00:28:51 It's all entertainment.
00:28:53 But when you are up here...
00:28:55 you must not lose. You have to win!
00:28:58 But you can choose not to be here.
00:29:04 Jinsun, listen!
00:29:09 To what?
00:29:11 I don't hear anything.
00:29:17 I can hear you...
00:29:19 Master Huo, you're our hero!
00:29:24 Great! That's great!
00:29:28 Master is the champion of the world.
00:29:56 Iron head kungfu!
00:30:26 Thanks a lot.
00:30:29 That's great!
00:30:31 Hey! This is taking too long.
00:30:33 Get everyone who has signed a waiver to come up all at once.
00:30:36 All you challengers,
00:30:38 get up there!
00:31:31 Huo Yuanjia,
00:31:32 when will you be the champion of Tianjin?
00:31:34 What do you think?
00:31:36 Today! It'll be today!
00:31:56 Let's eat.
00:31:59 Yes, Madam.
00:32:02 You must be hungry.
00:32:04 Here, eat some of this.
00:32:16 What's the matter?
00:32:22 We seek to be your disciples...
00:32:25 and devote ourselves to you.
00:32:27 Fine! You may join.
00:32:29 Come on. Give them drinks! A round for everyone.
00:32:36 Bottoms up and we'll all be brothers!
00:32:39 Come on, come on.
00:32:42 - Come on, come on. - Master Huo...
00:32:43 Master Huo, congratulations! You're the true champion of Tianjin!
00:32:49 See you. Have a good day.
00:32:50 Come on, you're not drinking?
00:32:54 Master Huo's bills are long overdue.
00:33:00 Alright. Alright.
00:33:03 A toast!
00:33:09 Bring a biggerjug!
00:33:10 Hey, you're not drinking? Now You must drink two more!
00:33:13 You have not fought my godfather Master chin.
00:33:19 Come on...
00:33:22 Yuanjia...
00:33:23 You've won 38 contests in a row,
00:33:24 and defeated every fighter in Tianjin.
00:33:26 There's no one left.
00:33:30 No, you're wrong.
00:33:32 There is still one left to beat.
00:33:35 So you are not going to stop?
00:33:41 I want to be the true champion of Tianjin. I must fight.
00:33:45 What about elsewhere?
00:33:47 Beijing, Guangdong, Hunan?
00:33:51 When will you stop?
00:33:55 I know what you're saying.
00:33:58 But I cannot stop now.
00:33:59 I need to prove that
00:34:01 I am the best... the strongest.
00:34:03 For what? You will always be you.
00:34:06 You'll never become someone else!
00:34:09 Yuanjia
00:34:10 I think you should take a break and reconsider.
00:34:13 What's this?
00:34:18 These...
00:34:20 are your bills.
00:34:23 I'll take care of it.
00:34:26 All your so-called disciples, only come
00:34:29 for the free drinks and food.
00:34:32 You don't understand our circle.
00:34:34 Our circle...
00:34:37 Fine.
00:34:39 I will settle the bills tomorrow.
00:34:42 Yuanjia,
00:34:43 I am not here for your money
00:34:45 I only want to remind you
00:34:48 Please be careful with the people...
00:34:50 in your inner circle.
00:34:53 Judge them by their integrity, not their drinking.
00:35:11 Good morning,
00:35:12 Good morning, Master Huo!
00:35:13 Good morning, Master Huo!
00:35:16 - Good morning, Master chin! - Good morning
00:35:28 what a coincidence
00:35:29 to run into the...
00:35:32 self-proclaimed champion of Tianjin!
00:35:33 Master chin, it's been a long time.
00:35:36 At your age...
00:35:39 I thought you'd retired.
00:35:41 Too many disciples.
00:35:44 I cannot retire even if I wanted to.
00:35:46 Oh! Is that so?
00:35:49 Then this big coffin is a gift to yourself?
00:35:51 Enjoy it soon!
00:35:54 You're too kind.
00:35:57 Actually, this is my gift to you!
00:36:03 Your master needs help!
00:36:08 Master chin, this way please!
00:36:28 Stop!
00:36:31 If you want to learn wushu, you need to work hard at it.
00:36:37 Work hard?
00:36:43 The perfecting of skills needs time and determination.
00:36:48 Tell me... Stand off!
00:36:49 Stand off!
00:36:50 Stand off!
00:36:53 Give it two or three years, and you will only have some superficial knowledge.
00:36:59 Well, this is twenty year's practice.
00:37:01 Can you handle this?
00:37:03 Go on!
00:37:10 Young master,
00:37:11 the income of the wushu school...
00:37:13 barely covers the household overhead.
00:37:15 Your disciples have incurred
00:37:18 a large expense.
00:37:22 What about the household reserve?
00:37:24 It's been depleted three months ago.
00:37:28 Depleted? Depleted.
00:37:33 Master! Master!
00:37:38 How many times have I told you to hone your skills.
00:37:41 No one listens.
00:37:44 Who did this?
00:37:47 Master chin!
00:37:53 Master.
00:38:02 Master.
00:38:08 We celebrate Master chirs birthday.
00:38:14 Wishing him good fortune.
00:38:17 Terrific!
00:38:20 Godfather!
00:38:21 We wish you good fortune...
00:38:24 and great health.
00:38:36 Wish you a prolong life.
00:38:39 Great! Great!
00:38:46 Master Huo,
00:38:47 today's my godfather's birthday.
00:38:49 These tables are reserved.
00:38:51 As a favor to me, please drink somewhere else.
00:38:56 Master Huo, please do me a favor...
00:38:59 You don't qualify to speak to me.
00:39:04 Hey!
00:39:06 I'm not in the mood to fight...
00:39:08 on my birthday.
00:39:10 Maybe some other time.
00:39:16 You injured my disciple.
00:39:19 You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:39:21 I'm here to settle the score.
00:39:25 What do you want?
00:39:29 It's signed. Do you have the guts to sign it too?
00:39:31 Otherwise, get on your knees and apologize.
00:39:36 Yuanjia!
00:39:40 You've crossed the line. Don't be...
00:39:41 so rude in front of his guests.
00:39:42 If you've got a problem, let's talk tomorrow.
00:39:44 My disciple's hurt. I must do something.
00:39:48 I don't care what happened,
00:39:49 But you mustrt spoil their celebration.
00:39:56 I'm not here to spoil anything.
00:39:57 Yuanjia!
00:39:59 You think I might trash your place.
00:40:01 I'll pay all damages to the last penny!
00:40:08 How can you talk like this?
00:40:12 You should go.
00:40:14 Forget that we've ever been friends!
00:40:19 You're asking me to leave?
00:40:23 You're willing to throw away...
00:40:25 our friendship?
00:40:29 Everybody out!
00:40:32 My sword seeks vengeance!
00:40:37 Stay at your own peril!
00:45:38 Master! Master!
00:45:39 The Master has won!
00:45:43 Let's drink!
00:47:08 Master Huo.
00:47:12 Congratulations!
00:47:14 You got your wish.
00:47:16 You're finally the champion of Tianjin.
00:47:18 You might like to know...
00:47:20 Master chin died two hours ago.
00:47:40 Huo Yuanjia!
00:47:44 When will you be the champion?
00:47:50 It'll be today!
00:47:52 It'll be today!
00:47:54 Huo Yuanjia!
00:47:56 It'll be today!
00:47:59 It'll be today!
00:48:01 Huo Yuanjia!
00:48:03 Champion of Tianjin! Today is the day!
00:50:26 Yes, I killed your family!
00:50:28 I am responsible.
00:50:32 Godmother, take good care.
00:51:22 Tell the Master the truth.
00:51:25 Master,
00:51:27 it's all my fault.
00:51:29 I'm very sorry.
00:51:31 I was drunk...
00:51:33 I insulted Master chirs wife.
00:51:37 He was teaching me a lesson.
00:51:44 All the brothers knew,
00:51:47 but nobody told you.
00:51:51 Master... Master!
00:51:57 Master.
00:54:38 Come along, Yuenjia.
00:54:57 He is burning up.
00:55:00 Let me make some herbal medicine.
00:55:01 He'll feel better.
00:55:35 Drink, my dear. You'll feel better afterwards.
00:56:45 You woke up.
00:56:49 I will bring you some warm congee.
00:57:14 He's awake, Grandma.
00:57:16 That's good.
00:57:24 Leave it. He's going to sleep. Let's go
00:57:29 Go.
00:57:32 He's going to sleep. Go.
00:58:40 It's time for lunch.
00:58:54 When I was 13...
00:58:56 my eyesight began to fail.
00:58:58 Everything turned blurry.
00:59:02 I cried a lot.
00:59:05 My Grandma told me...
00:59:08 cry if you are sad.
00:59:10 When there are no more tears, life will go on.
00:59:15 I can see everything in my heart.
00:59:18 Do you believe me?
00:59:38 I'll wash your hair.
01:00:25 Your hair will get knotted...
01:00:28 if you don't wash it often.
01:00:33 Grandma always says...
01:00:37 cleanliness brings purity to life.
01:00:41 Every knot can be untangled.
01:00:59 Huang, you've been through It's not easy, is it?
01:01:01 So many years with us.
01:01:06 Grandma, Huang doesn't seem to be alright
01:01:11 Everyone has this day.
01:01:14 It's time for Huang to rest.
01:01:20 What about him? He also needs to rest?
01:01:24 He needs a long sleep.
01:01:28 When he wakes up, he will know what to do.
01:01:37 I found this in your clothes.
01:01:46 Let's go and let Huang rest.
01:02:56 Ox!
01:02:58 You sleep a lot!
01:02:59 You slept as much as our ox...
01:03:01 that's why we call you ox.
01:03:03 Come this way.
01:03:11 Ox, you've waken up?
01:03:15 Let's catch some dragonflies. Let's go!
01:03:20 Let's catch some dragonflies.
01:05:02 Let's go, Huang.
01:05:09 Huang, let's go home.
01:05:12 Come on, Grandma here
01:05:15 Huang, no need to come to the field today. You can rest.
01:05:18 Grandma knows you have tried your best.
01:05:21 Come, come with Grandma.
01:05:27 Ok.
01:05:31 Huang, come with me.
01:05:36 Huang is used to coming
01:05:37 to the field everyday to work.
01:05:40 It's so endurant and hard-working
01:05:43 Now it knows that it wouldn't live very long
01:05:46 and yet it still wants to help.
01:05:50 It has done so much for us
01:05:53 and never asked anything in return.
01:06:50 Eat something, my dear. Everything will pass. Eat something.
01:07:01 The men in the city go to the exam.
01:07:06 They will grow if they succeed in the exam.
01:07:12 Eat something.
01:07:14 Eat more.
01:07:18 Tomorrow, you should take him...
01:07:21 to work in the fields.
01:07:23 He'll feel better.
00:00:46 ox... ox... come...
00:00:49 come, quick.
00:00:54 Look! Moon told me not to say anything.
00:00:57 You did a bad job.
00:00:58 She is re-planting for you.
00:01:20 Seedlings are alive.
00:01:22 If you plant them too close together...
00:01:24 they will not grow.
00:01:27 Just like people...
00:01:28 they need to respect each other...
00:01:30 in order to live together peacefully.
00:01:36 I'll always remember.
00:02:34 I want my Huang...
00:02:36 I want my Huang... I won't let it go.
00:02:39 I want my Huang...
00:02:41 I want my Huang... I won't let it go.
00:02:45 Gui...
00:02:53 Gui, you are too young to understand.
00:02:58 Huang leaves this world in peace,
00:03:01 since he had done what he needed to do.
00:03:05 Everyone dies,
00:03:07 So does Huang.
00:03:09 But one only leaves in peace
00:03:13 when there is no regret in one's life.
00:03:17 Don't cry, my boy.
00:03:56 Gui has a problem!
00:04:01 What happened to him?
00:04:03 He missed his bull so much
00:04:05 that he stole one from the Siam clan.
00:04:07 He got caught over there
00:04:10 and they are about to punish him according to their law.
00:04:14 Let's go to save Gui!
00:04:28 Help me...
00:04:32 Help me...
00:04:33 Beat him.
00:04:39 Help me...
00:04:43 help me...
00:04:47 Help me...
00:04:50 Are you coming for a fight?
00:04:52 Gui made a mistake and should be punished.
00:04:56 You have already punished him enough.
00:04:58 I'm here to make a formal apology.
00:05:05 The boy doesn't know any better.
00:05:08 Let us take him back.
00:05:11 Indeed he is a child.
00:05:15 But even for children in our village,
00:05:17 we beat them for the burning time of an incense
00:05:21 so they will remember the lesson.
00:05:24 Go on. Beat him.
00:05:29 Help me!
00:05:31 The child can't take it. Let me take the beating for him!
00:05:35 Stop!
00:05:46 Let me take the beatings for Gui.
00:05:50 Well, this punishment is for children.
00:05:59 Adults should be punished in another way.
00:06:02 How?
00:06:08 Take on my iron fist.
00:06:15 If I am still standing when this incense burns out,
00:06:17 you will have to release the child.
00:06:22 Sure! No argument about life and death?
00:06:28 No argument!
00:06:31 It's settled then?
00:06:33 Yes.
00:06:56 Grandma, what's wrong with him?
00:07:26 Ox, ox!
00:07:31 You don't want to hurt others,
00:07:34 but you should let others hurt you,
00:07:36 son!
00:07:40 How can we stand this! Let's help him.
00:07:44 Stop!
00:07:46 Stop!
00:07:52 The incense is still burning.
00:08:25 Stand up, stand up...
00:08:29 Keep beating... beat him.
00:08:31 The incense has burnt out. You lose, you lose...
00:08:41 Let him go!
00:08:46 Let's go home, Gui. Go.
00:09:30 Time to go home.
00:09:33 I want to stay a little longer with ox.
00:09:36 I don't go home.
00:09:37 Gui, aren't you hungry?
00:09:38 Are you not hungry? Ox might be hungry.
00:09:40 No, I am not hungry.
00:09:41 I can stay here a little longer with Gui.
00:09:44 Ox, you are the best.
00:09:46 So what does that make me?
00:09:50 Aunt Moon,
00:09:52 can you ask ox a favor for me?
00:09:56 You and ox are so close,
00:09:57 why do you need my help?
00:09:58 Because, you are the dearest to ox.
00:10:03 Don't talk nonsense.
00:10:08 Gui, you can ask me yourself.
00:10:11 You keep refusing to teach me martial arts, but I really want to learn.
00:10:13 I also want to learn!
00:10:15 Gui, why do you want
00:10:16 to learn martial arts?
00:10:18 So the others won't bully me.
00:10:20 What about you?
00:10:21 I want everyone to be afraid of me.
00:10:23 What if Ning bullies you, what will you do?
00:10:25 I will hit him back
00:10:27 what about you, will you fight Gui back?
00:10:29 For sure. I will fight Gui until he's scared of me.
00:10:32 What if you can't beat him?
00:10:33 Then, I will learn from a master
00:10:35 Then what will you do?
00:10:36 I will learn from a master
00:10:39 and then fight him again.
00:10:42 You beat him up, and he beats you up.
00:10:44 When will this end?
00:10:52 It's not that I don't want to teach you.
00:10:56 I also need to think about
00:10:58 why we learn martial arts.
00:11:01 Let's go and catch the dragonflies!
00:11:52 Grandma, let's eat.
00:11:53 Ok.
00:12:01 Grandma
00:12:02 - Moon... - Yes, Grandma.
00:12:06 In a few days,
00:12:09 we should visit your parents' graves.
00:12:13 Ok.
00:12:23 I am going to...
00:12:24 visit my parents' graves.
00:12:38 Hey, ox.
00:13:50 Have a drink of water.
00:13:59 Can we talk?
00:14:03 You are leaving...
00:14:10 I was thinking...
00:14:12 maybe I should visit my parents' graves.
00:14:15 You should go. Family is important.
00:15:04 I'll come back soon.
00:15:12 You've been here for many years.
00:15:14 Yet I've always known one day you will leave.
00:15:19 The truth is, I...
00:15:31 Take these clean clothes for your trip.
00:15:39 You don't even know my real name.
00:15:43 You don't have to tell me.
00:15:45 I don't need to know where you're from...
00:15:49 or where you're going.
00:15:51 You will always be "ox" to me.
00:15:59 My name is Huo Yuanjia.
00:16:43 I'll always remember.
00:18:17 Late Qing Dynasty
00:18:21 Various strong countries invaded china
00:18:26 Tianjin became partly colonized
00:18:55 Believe in God, and you'll have everlasting life.
00:18:57 ...his words are written here.
00:18:59 God's words...
00:19:28 Huo Yuanjia!
00:19:30 Champion of Tianjin!
00:19:33 Huo Yuanjia!
00:19:35 Champion of Tianjin! Huo Yuanjia!
00:19:40 Huo Yuanjia has returned to the ring.
00:19:45 Huo Yuanjia has returned to the ring.
00:20:33 - Young master! - Lai!
00:20:35 You've finally returned!
00:20:36 Good, good...
00:20:37 Let me take your bag.
00:21:10 Please forgive me...
00:21:13 it was not easy maintaining this house.
00:21:38 I did my best...
00:21:43 trying to keep everything...
00:21:44 the way it was.
00:21:49 It must have been very hard for you.
00:21:51 I'm sorry for not doing better.
00:21:53 Young Master.
00:21:54 After you left...
00:21:56 the creditors came... to collect money.
00:21:59 Tearing this place...
00:22:01 apart.
00:22:04 The house was almost foreclosed.
00:22:10 We would have lost...
00:22:13 everything...
00:22:15 but someone sent money.
00:22:19 I later figured...
00:22:21 it was your good friend Mr. Nong Jinsun.
00:22:40 I don't need these anymore.
00:22:44 Neither do...
00:22:45 my parents.
00:22:50 Father...
00:22:53 I...
00:22:55 finally realized...
00:22:59 why you held back the last blow.
00:23:03 You are the true champion.
00:23:07 Mother,
00:23:09 you taught me how to be a good person.
00:23:14 I was too arrogant to understand.
00:23:20 Rest assured
00:23:21 I will not disappoint you again.
00:23:31 My dear Jade,
00:23:33 I was not a good father.
00:23:38 And because of me, you suffered a horrible death.
00:23:44 I was never good enough for you.
00:24:22 Let's have tea.
00:24:41 Sir, I am sorry.
00:24:43 My boss does not want to see you,
00:24:44 but he wants you to have this.
00:25:11 Watch your way.
00:25:16 Leave a way. Excuse me...
00:25:40 Mrs. Chin, I am very sorry for what I have done.
00:25:45 Please allow me to pay my respects.
00:26:06 Mother. Mother.
00:26:35 Get out and kneel down.
00:26:40 You'll gonna have a hard time if you come again
00:26:42 You dare to come with no money?
00:26:43 Get away?
00:26:44 Don't come again or you'll have a hard time.
00:26:46 Get away...
00:26:53 Master...
00:26:56 Master...
00:26:57 Master...
00:26:58 - Master, we are sorry! - We are sorry!
00:27:01 Master, I learned kung fu with you since I was a child.
00:27:03 I don't know another
00:27:06 way to making a living.
00:27:10 Now you are back, and...
00:27:13 Master, please forgive us!
00:27:15 Stand up...
00:27:26 Fresh pork, reasonable price!
00:27:35 Fresh pork...
00:27:36 Madam,

00:27:41 It is really cheap today.

00:28:43 I'm so sorry for what I've done.
00:28:46 I realized my mistakes...
00:28:49 only too late!
00:28:52 It hurts to think about it.
00:28:56 Let's forget about the past.
00:28:58 That chapter is over.
00:29:07 Jinsun...
00:29:09 I don't know how to begin,
00:29:11 but you're the only one I can turn to.
00:29:13 I need to borrow some money.
00:29:15 What? You still want to fight?
00:29:18 Yes.
00:29:21 You cannot go down that path again.
00:29:23 I will not give you any money.
00:30:14 Young Master.
00:30:16 Master Huo,
00:30:17 my master wants you to have this.

00:32:12 Please inform him,
00:32:14 that taking a life in a competition...
00:32:17 is a cruel and backward tradition.

00:36:38 Chinese Martial Artist Defeats US champion o'Brien
00:36:40 chinese Fighter Defeats western Boxer.
00:36:43 Victory Shocks Shanghai!
00:36:44 Huo Yuanjia Says wushu Schools Must Unite
00:36:50 Fighter Founds Jingwu Sports Federation.
00:36:52 Recruits country's Best
00:36:54 Shanghai Foreign correspondents club
00:36:59 Thank you.
00:37:01 Master!
00:37:02 You've received a dinner invitation.
00:37:14 I never dreamed it would be you.
00:37:16 I've been waiting for this day, Yuanjia.
00:37:22 Am I still your friend?
00:37:24 Your friendship... is very important to me.
00:37:27 How can I not?
00:37:29 I always knew that you would not disappoint me.
00:37:35 But I did, for a long time.
00:37:38 Let's not talk about the past.
00:37:42 Come, have a seat.
00:37:45 Here, your favorite wine.
00:37:49 Come on.
00:37:52 What's the matter?
00:37:53 I stopped drinking. A long time ago.
00:37:56 Why?
00:37:59 But you loved to drink.
00:38:01 I've learned from my mistakes.
00:38:06 That's wonderful.
00:38:08 Let's have tea instead.
00:38:19 Yuanjia.
00:38:22 Your victory gained respect for all chinese people.
00:38:26 The foreigners have bullied us for too long.
00:38:29 Someone should stand up.
00:38:31 If that hadrt happened, they would have continued to see us
00:38:33 as the sick man of East Asia!
00:38:36 My friend...
00:38:38 I'm really proud of you.
00:38:40 Enjoy!
00:38:44 Chinese must get strengthened.
00:38:46 The westerners despised us partially
00:38:49 because we've been busy
00:38:50 fighting among ourselves.
00:38:54 That becomes a laughing stock for others.
00:39:00 Foreigners see us as the sick man of East Asia!
00:39:03 What they call us is irrelevant.
00:39:06 What matters is
00:39:06 if we are really sick,
00:39:12 or, if we are not attempting to cure
00:39:14 the disease even
00:39:15 when we know it is there.
00:39:18 They still flaut their superiority.
00:39:26 I didn't expect you to be so insightful.
00:39:32 Compared to you, I am kind of bookish.
00:39:46 Jinsun,
00:39:47 when do you return to Tianjin?
00:39:49 I'm going to stay in Shanghai.
00:39:53 Who about your restaurant?
00:39:56 I sold it.
00:39:57 What?
00:39:59 But it was so profitable.
00:40:01 The Jingwu Sports Federation needs...
00:40:03 start-up funds.
00:40:08 But the restaurant has been your life!
00:40:12 My restaurant means little...
00:40:14 compared to...
00:40:16 your vision.
00:40:18 Yuanjia.
00:40:19 I do not know wushu.
00:40:23 But I do know how to help.
00:40:28 I hope it will enough.
00:40:32 Jinsun!
00:40:34 I was gone for quite a few years.
00:40:37 Everyday I asked myself
00:40:40 why I learned kung fu,
00:40:43 and whether or not it was only for fighting.
00:40:48 Have you had an answer?
00:40:52 Only the weak
00:40:54 need to prove their power through force,
00:40:59 but what force leads to
00:41:01 is endless hatred.
00:41:04 I want to change kung fu
00:41:06 into a sport,
00:41:09 with which one can shape oneself both physically and spiritually.
00:41:13 That's a good idea.
00:41:15 You should let more know about it.
00:41:19 I don't know how much I can achieve,
00:41:23 but I will try my best.
00:41:30 Did you hear that?
00:41:32 Yes,
00:41:34 I heard a voice calling.
00:41:40 Now what we hear
00:41:41 is the same voice!
00:41:46 Jingwu Sports Federation
00:41:53 Yuanjia!
00:41:56 Zhaojian
00:41:57 I was wrong to disrespect you,
00:41:59 Master Huo. I hope that...
00:42:01 I am so glad that you are here.
00:42:02 I was going to pick you up.
00:42:04 Laifu,
00:42:05 Master
00:42:06 would you please show Mr. Zhao around?
00:42:12 Yuanjia!
00:42:15 As we've discussed, the Jingwu Manifesto.
00:42:18 Take a look.
00:42:22 Our motto:
00:42:26 "Body, Mind and Soul".
00:42:30 Wushu is a way to cultivate one's body, mind and soul.
00:42:33 All wushu disciplines are respected equally.
00:42:35 By working together...
00:42:39 we can better ourselves...
00:42:42 and stand strong as one nation
00:42:45 we influence others through...
00:42:49 cooperation, not intimidation.
00:42:53 Through this ideal, we will always...
00:42:54 Stand Strong!
00:42:57 Jingwu Sports Federation 1910
00:43:04 Shanghai Foreign chamber of commerce
00:43:05 well, gentlemen, it's too rich for me,
00:43:07 I only bet on sure things.
00:43:11 Then perhaps you'll be interested...
00:43:13 in joining our little wager against this...
00:43:16 Huo Yuanjia fellow?
00:43:19 He'd better lose this time.
00:43:20 It cost me 6,000 francs when he beat this o' Brien.
00:43:24 Mr. Mita here...
00:43:25 will ensure that you win back everything that you lost...
00:43:29 plus a little bit more.
00:43:30 I've suggested a competition of four matches...
00:43:33 between our countries' best against him.
00:43:36 We beat him and leave the chinese with nothing to brag about.
00:43:40 Four against one?
00:43:42 What makes you so sure he is going to accept that?
00:43:44 Pride? Honor?
00:43:47 The prestige of his school?
00:43:48 It's of no importance.
00:43:50 He has already accepted the challenge.
00:43:52 Then, gentlemen, I'll take you up on your wager.
00:43:55 And to make it a little more interesting...
00:43:58 I'm going to back the chinese.
00:44:01 Mita... you are certain Huo Yuanjia will lose?
00:44:05 With what I have in mind...
00:44:07 our victory is guaranteed.
00:44:29 Yuanjia
00:44:31 one of the contestants
00:44:33 Tanaka, the Japanese fighter...
00:44:36 wishes to meet you.
00:44:37 I heard he remains undefeated. He is one of the best.
00:44:44 Good, one can always learn from the best.
00:44:47 I suspect that the Foreign chamber of commerce...
00:44:50 might have a hidden agenda.
00:44:52 How can they set up...
00:44:53 a 'one against four' contest?
00:44:56 It is...
00:44:57 an attempt to humiliate us,
00:45:00 and undermine our position.
00:45:05 You're right.
00:45:07 One against four is unfair...
00:45:10 plus I have to win each match.
00:45:13 But not everything in life...
00:45:16 is fair.
00:45:22 For the sake of the Federation,
00:45:26 I have no other choice.
00:45:27 What if?
00:45:30 Jinsun, I want to ask you to do something...
00:45:33 what is it?
00:45:36 After this fight, you should head the Sports Federation.
00:45:40 Why?
00:45:43 I want to visit Moon and Grandma.
00:45:46 I made a promise.
00:46:02 Do you know anything...
00:46:04 about teas?
00:46:08 I don't really want to know...
00:46:12 because I don't like categories.
00:46:15 Tea is tea.
00:46:16 Each has its own characteristics
00:46:18 hence different grades.
00:46:22 What's the purpose of grading?
00:46:26 All teas are grown in nature...
00:46:30 with little discernable differences
00:46:32 So you really don't know teas.
00:46:34 Once you learn you can tell the differences.
00:46:37 Maybe you're right.
00:46:38 The way I see it...
00:46:41 the tea does not...
00:46:43 judge itself.
00:46:45 People...
00:46:47 judge the tea.
00:46:50 As for me, I don't want to do that.
00:46:52 Why not?
00:46:55 When you are in a good mood,
00:46:57 the grade of the tea...
00:47:00 does not matter.
00:47:03 I've never seen it that way.
00:47:06 In your opinion, is one style of wushu superior...
00:47:10 to another?
00:47:14 I don't think so.
00:47:17 If no particular style is superior...
00:47:21 why have...
00:47:23 so many competitions?
00:47:26 I believe...
00:47:28 no single style is superior.
00:47:31 Only different skill levels.
00:47:34 It is through training that...
00:47:36 one discovers one's strength.
00:47:39 Perhaps, the most formidable...
00:47:41 enemy lies within onself.
00:47:43 Competitions can lead us to a path of self-discovery?
00:47:48 You mean...
00:47:49 our most important battle...
00:47:50 is actually fought within?
00:48:03 Your words
00:48:04 are poignant.
00:48:10 Let's...
00:48:12 enjoy the tea.
00:48:16 - Please enjoy. - Thank you.
00:49:47 Shanghai 1910
00:49:54 French concession Pierre Theatre
00:49:59 The Fight Arena
00:50:33 Today's battle
00:50:36 is between four fighters from the Foreign chamber of commerce
00:50:39 and Huo Yuanjia of the Jingwu Sports Federation.
00:50:52 Whichever side falls first
00:50:54 or signals to admit defeat
00:50:56 will be considered to have lost the match.
00:51:01 This is unusual.
00:51:04 Four against one?
00:51:07 You never told me.
00:51:09 Both the chamber of commerce...
00:51:11 and the Federation agreed.
00:51:13 Don't be concerned.
00:51:15 This is not a competition.
00:51:18 This is murder.
00:51:20 Tanaka, you're overreacting.
00:51:23 Huo Yuanjia fought the best fighters... from around the world.
00:51:25 And won each time.
00:51:26 The rules... he set them up.
00:51:29 Mita,
00:51:32 what's your deal?
00:51:35 Is this really for the pride of Japan?
00:51:37 Or did you place a large bet?
00:51:40 The spirit of wushu...
00:51:42 is the most important thing.
00:51:47 To compete is to win.
00:51:50 Now the first round! Huo Yuanjia against the British boxer!
00:51:57 British Boxer, Peter Smith
00:52:05 Start!
00:52:41 Belgium Royal Riding coach, Hanks Herzog
00:53:39 Great job, master!
00:53:50 Fencing champion of Europe, Antony Kasia
00:55:00 This is our embarrassment. We can't let him win.
00:55:13 The fourth and final contest will now begin.
00:55:15 The competitor to represent the Foreign chamber of commerce...
00:55:18 is Tanaka from Japan.
00:55:24 Begin!
00:55:26 Yuanjia.
00:55:27 This is an unfair contest.
00:55:31 If you wish to re-schedule...
00:55:34 that's fine with me.
00:55:36 You're very kind.
00:55:39 We started the fight...
00:55:41 we must finish.
00:55:44 Please!
00:56:03 Begin!
00:57:13 Master, that's great!
00:58:01 This round is a draw.
00:58:04 Please set down your weapons, gentlemen...
00:58:06 and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
00:58:12 Mita, where have you been?
00:58:14 This is embarrassing. He's going to lose.
00:58:16 Don't worry, gentlemen. I have it under control.
00:59:14 Yuanjia!
00:59:28 Time out!
00:59:30 - What's going on? - What is he doing?
00:59:37 Yuanjia!
00:59:38 - Tanaka! - Go now! Go! Go!
00:59:45 What happened? What happened?
00:59:48 What happened?
00:59:49 Poisoned!
00:59:50 Poison? What poison?
00:59:53 How did this happen?
00:59:56 - What do you need? - Tea...
00:59:58 Tea!
00:59:59 Where's the teapot?
01:00:01 The tea is laced. But it's gone!
01:00:05 We're going straight to the hospital.
01:00:09 Too late. The toxin is...
01:00:12 in my blood!
01:00:14 Let me take revenge.
01:00:18 Sheng,
01:00:22 we...
01:00:24 must not.
01:00:29 Revenge only...
01:00:31 brings more bloodshed.
01:00:34 No more revenge.
01:00:39 We must strive to better ourselves.
01:00:42 Forget the competition.
01:00:46 We're going to hospital.
01:00:52 Jinsun.
01:00:54 It took me years to understand...
01:00:58 the true meaning of wushu,
01:01:04 and its purpose.
01:01:07 The competition must continue.
01:01:10 One cannot choose...
01:01:12 how one's life begins.
01:01:16 But one can choose... to face the end with courage.
01:01:26 Master.
01:01:27 What are you doing? Finish him off in the next round!
01:01:30 Why do you say that?
01:01:32 It's not for you to decide.
01:01:34 I must win this fight!
01:01:35 Whatever it takes. Just win!
01:01:46 We... Stand strong!
01:01:48 Stand strong! Stand strong!
01:01:57 You really want to win?
01:02:20 Let's stop.
01:02:21 Treasure your life.
01:02:26 Listen to them...
01:02:29 it's not just about me.
01:02:37 If you wish to continue,
01:02:38 I won't hold back.
01:02:43 It is my honor.
01:04:47 Young Master...
01:04:50 He's down! He's down! Huo Yuanjia's down!
01:04:53 Go! Go! Go!
01:04:56 Make the announcement!
01:05:04 Wait!
01:05:28 Huo...
01:05:30 Yuan... Jia!
01:05:32 Yuanjia!
01:05:34 Huo Yuanjia! Huo Yuanjia! Huo Yuanjia! Huo Yuanjia!
01:05:55 Tanaka, you son-of-a bitch.
01:05:56 What is this?
01:05:58 I lost!
01:05:59 Who said you lost?
01:06:01 I know it in my heart.
01:06:03 I lost. Fair and square.
01:06:05 Who do you think you are?
01:06:07 You have no right to decide.
01:06:08 You can't be Japanese.
01:06:19 You are a disgrace to Japan!
01:06:25 Huo Yuanjia! Huo Yuanjia!
01:08:29 Huo Yuanjia died from poisoning at the age of 42.
01:08:35 "The spirit of wushu" as espoused by Huo Yuanjia continues to
01:08:37 spread and thrive long after he passed away...
01:08:39 today, the Jingwu Sports Federation flourishes around the world,
01:08:42 with branches in over 50 countries.
01:08:44 To commemorate Huo Yuenjia's spirit.

01:09:54 Excuse me! Miss. Yang?
01:09:56 What are your chances?
01:09:58 I did my best. That's what's important.
01:10:00 Is it enough?
