Taiji actually for me is everything. I mean it's my whole life
it takes you time you know to
really understand that. While I was in school I spend as much time as my age
group you know from Primary school, middle school, High school, University.
The whole process. I was a good student. So at the beginning I thought
Taiji is a special family background But little by little when
my Taiji level is getting better and better when I really
get the feeling you know from my own practice I realized that more and more
I started to agree with my father's opinion, because since I was
very little he told me, He keep telling me, this he said: "Ah it's good you are good
student in school. So you learn as much as knowledge as much as you can
but remember this you know doesn't matter how much you learn and one day
all the things you learn it is ready for Taiji. Has to serve for Taiji. Then I
you know when I really grow up I really really understand the words
he keeps telling me. Who where your most important teachers and what did you learn from them.
My father of course . And because I
started learning from him since I was five or five and a half. His word his
behavior his a his Taiji life actually you know affect me a lot. Even now I
still like living in his story in his life
Taiji story. So you know I learned a lot from him for
example how to be a useful man how to be a useful person you know for the whole
society and how to be a successful person in the field you know
your us you study. He used his whole life to just you know give me the best
answers for this If you know you spend your whole life for
doing only one thing in anything you know you can become you can be very
successful. For example talking about him he started learning Taiji since he
was eight. He has been practicing you know for more than sixty years.
He spent his whole life just doing one thing. Taiji is a his only business.
For his whole life. So that's why he became you know so
famous in the Taiji field even in the whole world.
He is very special to me. Are there certain things that you couldn't learn from him
that you could learn from Chen Xiaowang or the others? And of course the you know like
my father's generation they have many things in common. There was a hard time
you know in the beginning especially in for life you
When they where young they didn't even have enough food to eat.
They had a hard life especially
their childhood there was very hard and also they were kind of
lucky to to have their masters in my grandpa's generation you know they have
actually two of my grandpa's. They really raised my father's generation up.
Chen Fake? No Chen Chen Zhao Pei and Chen Zhao Kui
yeah They together spend almost 25 years you know raise my father's
generation up. They use the rest of their life you know to make
them you know to grow up. They were kind of lucky from this and also
they were lucky because the great change you know taken place in China in the last
30, 40 years China opened up the door you know to more communicate
communication with the whole world so they have the opportunity to go outside
and and also you know when when more and
more people to get to know them because of Taiji and and so many people
realized I better to go back to the you know the original place of
Taijiquan. So they each of them you know of course they have their own
personalities you they have differences of course I think they are doing well for
their you know responsibility for that you know for their generation. So each is
different because everything is a you know changing not a whole world and at
the time everything is changing so yeah of course promoting Taiji is our you
know same responsible, but you know different generation that the way you
use yeah yeah it should be yeah probably we will be different. For
example for like my my grandpa's generation. For them the most important responsebility is
to is to raise my father's generation up. So they did well. So for
my father's generation is to promote Taiji to the whole world. Also they did
well. So for me is a you know we of course we have like a new mission you
know comes. A new challenge comes And this mission is? It's like
raising the level of Taiji? Yeah and also raising the understanding. Yeah the
understanding. For example what's Taiji what's the meaning what's the
correct you know the step you know to learn from one two three
you know step by step. That's you know the new mission for my generation!
