霍霍 霍霍霍 霍霍霍!!!!

Hey hoz people :) yeapz you all never see wrongly..its moi again!!!

In case non chinese readers cannot read my title...its Huo x 8 lol.The Huo is a chinese surname and it is the surname of a great chinese folk hero.... 霍元甲(Huo Yuan Jia). Huo Yuan Jia was the founder of 精武门(Jing Wu Men). Jing Wu Men was some kind of martial arts association that allowed the people to practise martial arts and also help in strengthening the community bonds(this is what i think lar) During that time was also the time of the occupation of the 8 nations...this was something which most Chinese(at least PRC Chinese) really had a bad memory of. This was also a time when the Japanese especially were very vindicative towards the Chinese..labelling the Chinese as东亚病夫(loosely translated as The Sick Man Of East Asia)

霍元甲 is portrayed very well in the movie Fearless by Jet Li(in his last action movie) as he had already portrayed another folk hero 黄飞鸿(Wong Fei Hung) to a tee...i totally recommend people to go watch the show not just for Jet Li's slick moves but also for the lessons to be learnt from the movie.

Another great thing about the movie is that Jay Chou sang the title song 霍元甲!!!Now how cool is that???

霍元甲

吓 命有几回合 擂台等着
生死状 赢了什么 冷笑着
天下谁的 第一又如何
止干戈 我辈尚武德
我的 拳脚了得 却奈何 徒增虚名一个
江湖难测 谁是强者 谁争一统武林的资格
小城里岁月流过去 清澈的勇气 洗涤过的回忆
我记得你 骄傲的活下去
霍霍 霍霍霍 霍霍霍 霍家拳的套路招式灵活
我我 我我我 我我我 活着生命就该完整渡过
我我 我我我 我我我 过错软弱从来不属于我
霍霍 霍霍霍 霍霍霍 我们精武出手无人能躲

The song is nice and describes Huo Yuan Jia well also :) and i quote from Bruce Lee from his movie 精武门........ "我们不是东亚病夫!!!!" Ohh side note here haha....Bruce Lee's role was that of 陈真(Chen Zhen), who was Huo Yuan Jia's disciple.

I also caught a bit of "Radio" today.Its a movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr and Ed Harris...man its such a heartwarming story and it reminds me of I Am Sam(which made me cry so much).

Haha just wanted to blog about these......seeya all soon :O) Sleep well eh?
