Chapter 61 Qigong Fever (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Gao Yue refused to admit defeat, but his mother laughed and scolded him: "I told you you're short, and you still refuse to admit defeat? What are you afraid of? Men can grow to 24 years old!"
"I don't know if I can grow to be 24 years old, but at least I'm taller than my dad!" Gao Yue said proudly. Gao Guobing's height is indeed not very tall, mainly because the social environment at that time was even worse, and most people lacked food and clothing, so naturally they did not grow tall.
"Tsk, how dare you say that in front of your father?" his mother poked him rudely.
Gao Yue made a face, and the mother and son got along very closely.
This intimacy made Gao Mingcheng envious.
After laughing and joking for a while, the gap between them caused by not seeing each other for a long time was eliminated.
"Ming Cheng, you came at the right time. Someone just sent us a pig's trotter this morning. Today we are going to have the pig's trotter stewed with soybeans, braised tofu and stir-fried cowpeas. Do you want to eat anything else? If you do, your aunt will cook it for you!" Gao Yue's mother asked with a smile, her hands moving continuously, closing the Double Happiness pressure cooker and then placing it on the coal stove.
Gao Mingcheng said politely, "Very good, I like them all."
Then he asked where Gao Guobing was, because he did not see Gao Guobing after he came in.
Gao Yue said quickly: "My father is on duty at the police station in front, but there is nothing important recently. He will be back after lunch. Come to my room, I bought a few books recently, let's go read!"
Having said that, he pulled Gao Mingcheng to his room.
He and his brother Gao Hong shared a room, but now that Gao Hong had gone to the army, the entire room was mostly filled with his things. Gao Hong's personal belongings were piled in the corner.
The book Gao Yue was talking about was not a serious book, but a miscellaneous book, or a martial arts novel!
Most of the works in it are Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong and Gu Long, as well as a martial arts legend comic book "Swallow Li San".
In addition to these books, there are also four great classics as well as "Fengshen Yanyi" and "Three Heroes and Five Gallants" on the bookshelf. In terms of the quantity of books, Gao Yue's family has more books than their entire village.
In their village, apart from the textbooks distributed at school, there are probably not many extracurricular books.
These extracurricular books cost a lot of money and are relatively difficult to buy. Villagers don’t have the leisure time to buy miscellaneous books to read.
At most, they would listen to the storytelling of "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" on the radio at noon. Listening to the storytelling for half an hour was enough for them to reminisce for the whole day.
"Look, there are several books that I bought recently! This comic book is good, much more interesting than reading words. But what's more interesting is watching TV! The Journey to the West that was broadcast during the Spring Festival this year was so good! By the way, Gao Mingcheng, have you watched it?"
Gao Yue kept talking and looked up at Gao Mingcheng, as if he wanted to talk to Gao Mingcheng about the plot of "Journey to the West".
Gao Mingcheng nodded and said with certainty: "I have seen it."
The 1986 version of "Journey to the West" began filming in 1982. The first 11 episodes were first broadcast on CCTV during the Spring Festival in 1986, followed by the first 25 episodes in 1988, and finally "Journey to the West Sequel" was broadcast on CCTV in 2000.
When "Journey to the West" was broadcast during the Spring Festival in 1986, it caused a sensation across the country, received extremely high praise, and created a legendary 89.4% audience rating. After that, it became the most replayed TV series during the winter and summer vacations, with more than 3,000 replays.
So although there has been a long time between them, Gao Mingcheng's impression of the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" is particularly deep. It is even the childhood memory of several generations.
So the two of them talked about the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" and expressed their own opinions - such as which part of the plot they liked best.
As they were talking, Gao Yue pulled Gao Mingcheng to watch TV again.
Their family has a black and white TV. His father Gao Guobing watches the "News Broadcast" on time every day, while Gao Yue can watch TV series at other times.
There were not many TV channels at that time, and the TV content was not as rich as in later generations, but the emergence of television has greatly enriched people's entertainment.
After turning on the TV, a segment about Qigong was playing.
Qigong fever has emerged across the country this year, and related content can be seen on television and in newspapers.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the so-called qigong master on TV and fell into deep thought.
The Qigong master talked about the various theories of Qigong and its benefits to the body on TV, and also demonstrated some of the exercises, such as swallowing glass and bending spoons.
Gao Yue looked at the Qigong master on TV with a burning gaze. He said excitedly, "My father is also practicing Qigong. He practices 'Intelligent Qigong'. I have seen their practice. It is really interesting! Gao Mingcheng, do you think my father can really swallow glass and bend spoons like this Qigong master after he has mastered Qigong?"
His face was full of excitement and anticipation, but Gao Mingcheng was quite speechless and asked in return: "Even if uncle can swallow glass and bend spoons, so what? Perform for people every day?"
Gao Yue was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Let his father perform glass swallowing and spoon bending for others every day... Why did he suddenly feel a cool breeze blowing?
Gao Mingcheng then said, "Do you know how your father and his friends practiced the 'Intelligent Qigong'?"
Most Qigong exercises require a set of standard movements to be practiced. This set of movements is called "gongfa". Famous ones include "xiang gong" and "zhineng gong".
What Gao Guobing practiced happened to be the more famous "Intelligent Qigong".
However, Gao Mingcheng in his previous life was currently struggling in the business world and had not followed the trend to practice qigong.
Qigong was popular for a few years, but eventually it died down and was passed down only as a mysterious hobby of some small groups.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng originally disdained qigong, but now that he had obtained the two pages of gold foil paper, his physical fitness improved after meditating every night.
He suddenly thought, if he practiced Qigong, would there be any good changes?
This speculation made him feel restless.
