"These are nothing compared to what you've ever seen life adrift at sea for months."

Zhang Ze retorted quietly, "When we set off from the South China Sea, we drifted at sea for a month without any signal. Every day when we woke up, all we faced was endless seawater. There were no landmarks at all. You might even think you were still going around in circles because you didn't know where you were. Towards the end, even eating a piece of fruit was extremely precious!"

Seeing Lan Qing's surprised expression, Fang Yang explained, "At sea, fruits and vegetables are rare, especially on the open ocean. Space on the ship is limited, so you can't bring too much of anything and can only eat a limited amount. Seafood, on the other hand, can make you eat until you're sick of it."

Xu Peng laughed and said, "Isn't it better to have seafood? It's okay if we don't eat side dishes."

Fang Yang laughed and said, "Try eating meat every day and not eating any side dishes, and see how many days you can keep it up?"

Xu Peng shrank his neck. "That won't do. Eating only meat is too greasy. I haven't eaten much seafood yet, so it should be fine, right?"

Chen He slapped Xu Peng on the back of the head. "Silly boy, you can't stand eating anything for a long time. A balanced diet is essential for the human body. You can eat whatever you like, but if you eat the same thing for a month, I guarantee you'll want to throw up at the sight of it!"

Fang Yang smiled and said, "Food is relatively easy to solve. The problem is being on the ship, drifting for years on end. That's the hardest part. A warship's duty period is three months. Just imagine waking up to endless sea every day for three months. What would that feel like?"

Not only Chen and his group, but also the audience in the live broadcast room fell silent. "No matter how hard our filming is, it's only temporary. Compared to those soldiers, it's nothing. We can rest for several months or even longer after filming, but after the soldiers return from their missions, they need to go back to arduous training a few days later. The reason we put so much effort into making this movie and TV series is to tell you that the reason we can live in peace and tranquility in the rear is because there are people carrying the burden ahead of us. They are the real heroes!"

Chen He remained silent for a long time, then said, "Was this the inspiration for your song 'The Lone Warrior'?"

"No, that's not it. The inspiration for 'The Lone Warrior' initially came from those firefighting heroes. Later, it expanded to sanitation workers, doctors, teachers, border guards, and all the breadwinners of their families. Everyone's existence is seen as a hero by someone. Even a beggar on the street is a hero in the eyes of someone who protects him!"

This was the first time everyone had heard Fang Yang openly discuss the process of creating songs, and they listened with great interest, especially Mu Yu, who, as a professional singer, had always dreamed of becoming a songwriter.

"Mr. Fang, where did you get your inspiration? I mean, when you see firefighters putting out a fire, most people would think about whether anyone will die. But your focus was on the firefighters themselves. What were you thinking at that moment?"

"Under the light, there are always people in this world who dedicate themselves silently in the shadows; it's just that we haven't paid attention to them. Take sanitation workers, for example. They get up before dawn every day to clean the entire city. You could say they're paid a salary, but compared to that salary, their greater contribution is keeping the city spotless, allowing us to live and work in a clean city every day. They only receive a meager income, but who pays attention to them?"

Mu Yu covered her mouth and laughed, "That's really true, Mr. Fang. Your focus is indeed unique, and perhaps that's the key to your success!"

Fang Yang shook his head. "I heard you want to write songs, so you need to observe carefully and learn to look at problems from different angles. Writing a good song isn't something you can do by staying at home and racking your brains."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too, but I just can't figure it out!"

Mu Yu looked troubled. Opportunities to ask Fang Yang for advice in person like this were rare, so she had to make the most of it and ask as many questions as possible.

"There's no need to dwell on these things. The idea of ​​wanting to write songs is good, but as a beginner, the first thing you need to do is broaden your horizons. Once you've accumulated enough experience, things will naturally fall into place."

"For example, when everyone goes to admire flowers together, everyone marvels at the beauty of the flowers, but you should also notice that under the flowers blooming on the branches, there are green leaves and branches, and even tree roots rooted in the soil. Without all of this, the beauty of all the flowers is a joke."

This was the first time Mu Yu had heard such an analysis. Although it was common sense, it was precisely because it was common sense that it was overlooked by everyone, who only saw the flowers hanging on the branches.

Chen He laughed and said, "Mu girl, this can't be rushed. Relax, maybe you'll write a great song someday!"

Huang Guang chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about these things tonight. Xiao Xu, I heard you've been practicing martial arts since you were a child. You've been very busy these past few days and haven't had time to watch. Since everyone's in high spirits now, why don't you give us a performance?"

Hearing Huang Guang's words, Chen He smiled and looked at Xu Peng, "Xiao Xu, since everyone is interested, if it's convenient, why don't you give a performance? I think the viewers in the live stream would be happy to watch!"

Xu Peng scratched his head. "Then I'll just perform a set of Luohan Fist. There's nothing inconvenient about it. Nowadays, martial arts don't have any sectarian biases."

Fang Yang nodded. The so-called layman's view is that without a master to guide you, no matter how much you look, you're just watching the show.

After getting up and returning to his room, Xu Peng changed into his training clothes and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, struck a pose and demonstrated the sixty-one forms of Luohan Fist.

During the Liang Dynasty's Datong era, the Indian monk Bodhidharma preached at the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song. Seeing the monks' sallow complexions and listless spirits, he exclaimed, "Although monks do not value their physical bodies, they must still thoroughly understand their nature, lest their souls become scattered. To attain enlightenment, one must first strengthen the body; then, with a strong body, the soul can easily attain enlightenment." Thus, he created the basic routine of Luohan Fist and taught it to the monks.

Xu Peng used the revised version of the Sixty-One Form, which was both offensive and defensive and highly entertaining. In particular, Xu Peng's voice was thunderous, which boosted morale and strength. Even if you were just watching for fun, it would get your blood pumping and make you want to be there and have a match with him.

The group consisted of novices who were simply enjoying the spectacle. Seeing Xu Peng's powerful and vigorous Arhat punches, they all cheered loudly, especially Mu Yu, who was a fervent fangirl, shouting "Wow, that's amazing!"

As Xu Peng's teacher, Chen He naturally felt proud. "President Fang, what do you think of Xu Peng's boxing skills?"

"He has a stable lower body and strong hands; it's obvious he's put in a lot of hard work."

Although he didn't understand martial arts, he had at least copied a few martial arts novels, so he had some discernment. Fang Yang still made a fair evaluation, which made Chen He feel proud, as he felt that his newly accepted disciple had some skills.
