Wushu is not for revenge.

In order for others
to respect you,

111

you must first learn
how to respect others.

everyone will fear me.

are two different things.

please forgive me.

I did my best

to keep everything the way
it was for you to return home.

about the past.

Why do foreigners
look down on us?

645

Because we're not united.

646
01:19:33,852 --> 01:19:37,982
It's a fact. For years, we
fought, Chinese against Chinese.

647
01:19:38,691 --> 01:19:40,693
That's why

What?

But it was so profitable.

My restaurant means little
compared to your vision.

660
01:20:32,369 --> 01:20:35,539
Yuanjia, I don't know wushu,

661
01:20:36,999 --> 01:20:40,961
but I do know how to help.

662
01:20:42,588 --> 01:20:44,798
I hope it will be enough.

Jingwu Sports Federation

664
01:20:51,305 --> 01:20:54,266
As we've discussed, the
Jingwu Federation handbook.

665
01:20:54,350 --> 01:20:55,893
Take a look.

666
01:20:58,270 --> 01:21:01,065
"The Jingwu motto
has three parts:

667
01:21:01,690 --> 01:21:04,360
"body, mind and soul.

668
01:21:05,402 --> 01:21:08,197

one's body, mind and soul.

are respected equally.

671
01:21:14,953 --> 01:21:17,748
<i>"we can better ourselves</i>

672
01:21:18,123 --> 01:21:20,751
<i>"and stand strong
as one nation."</i>

673
01:21:20,918 --> 01:21:22,961
We influence others

674
01:21:23,045 --> 01:21:26,840
through cooperation,
not intimidation.

675
01:21:26,924 --> 01:21:31,637
Through this ideal,
we will always stand strong!

676
01:21:32,805 --> 01:21:34,223
Ready?

677
01:21:39,645 --> 01:21:42,856
(IN ENGLISH) Well, gentlemen,
it's too rich for me.

678
01:21:42,940 --> 01:21:44,900
I only bet on sure things.

679
01:21:46,985 --> 01:21:50,406
Then perhaps you'd be interested
in joining our little wager

680
01:21:50,489 --> 01:21:53,367
against this Yuanjia fellow.

681
01:21:54,618 --> 01:21:57,871
I've suggested a competition
of four matches

682
01:21:57,955 --> 01:22:00,374
between our countries' best
against him.

683
01:22:00,457 --> 01:22:04,128
We beat him and leave the Chinese
with nothing to brag about.

684
01:22:04,253 --> 01:22:08,465
Mita, you are certain
Yuanjia will lose?

685
01:22:08,549 --> 01:22:12,761
With what I have in mind,
our victory is guaranteed.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

687

Yuanjia.

688
01:22:35,159 --> 01:22:38,078
One of the Japanese
contestants,

689
01:22:38,287 --> 01:22:40,581
Tanaka, wishes to meet you.

690

Ihear
he remains undefeated.

691
01:22:47,504 --> 01:22:50,591
Good, one can always
learn from the best.

692
01:22:50,716 --> 01:22:53,802
Yuanjia, I suspect that the
Foreign Chamber of Commerce

693
01:22:53,886 --> 01:22:55,596
might have a hidden agenda.

694
01:22:55,679 --> 01:22:59,141
How can they set up
a four-against-one contest?

695
01:22:59,683 --> 01:23:03,437
I suspect it is
an attempt to humiliate us

696
01:23:03,812 --> 01:23:07,483
and undermine the Jingwu
Sports Federation in Shanghai.

697
01:23:08,609 --> 01:23:10,194
You're right.

698
01:23:10,319 --> 01:23:14,531
Four against one is unfair,
and I have to win every match.

699
01:23:17,201 --> 01:23:22,372
Yet who is to guarantee that
everything in life is fair?

700
01:23:25,542 --> 01:23:27,794
For the sake
of the Federation,

701
01:23:29,254 --> 01:23:31,089
I have no other choice.

702
01:23:31,173 --> 01:23:32,591
What if...

703
01:23:33,258 --> 01:23:36,970
Jinsun, there's something
I want to ask you.

704
01:23:37,137 --> 01:23:38,639
What is it?

705
01:23:39,431 --> 01:23:43,018
After the contest, I need
you to run the Federation.

706
01:23:43,227 --> 01:23:44,478
Why?

707
01:23:46,313 --> 01:23:49,233
I want to visit
Moon and Grandma.

708
01:23:49,900 --> 01:23:52,069
I promised Moon
I would return.

709
01:23:59,076 --> 01:24:03,539
Do you know anything
about teas, Mr. Huo?

710
01:24:04,957 --> 01:24:10,003
I don't really want to know
because I don't like categories.

711
01:24:10,420 --> 01:24:11,838
Tea is tea.

712
01:24:11,922 --> 01:24:15,384
Each has its own characteristics,
hence different grades.

713
01:24:16,635 --> 01:24:18,971
What's the purpose
of grading?

714
01:24:19,513 --> 01:24:23,684
All teas are grown in nature with
little discernable differences.

715
01:24:24,184 --> 01:24:28,105
Once you learn,
you can tell the difference.

716
01:24:29,147 --> 01:24:30,816
Maybe you're right.

717
01:24:31,024 --> 01:24:32,693
The way I see it,

718
01:24:33,235 --> 01:24:36,863
the tea is not in a position
to judge itself.

719
01:24:37,614 --> 01:24:41,493
We should let people
be the judge of the tea.

720
01:24:42,578 --> 01:24:44,746
As for me,
I don't want to do that.

721
01:24:46,039 --> 01:24:47,624
Why not?

722
01:24:47,708 --> 01:24:50,919
When you are in a good mood,

723
01:24:52,588 --> 01:24:55,299
the grade of the tea
does not matter.

724
01:24:55,507 --> 01:24:57,593
I've never seen it that way.

725
01:24:58,093 --> 01:25:02,097
Even with the various wushu
styles, you still claim

726
01:25:02,639 --> 01:25:06,351
that no one style
is superior to the others?

727
01:25:06,602 --> 01:25:08,186
That's what I believe.

728
01:25:09,521 --> 01:25:12,107
Then I have another question.

729
01:25:13,191 --> 01:25:15,694
If no particular style
is superior,

730
01:25:15,861 --> 01:25:18,113
why have
so many competitions?

731
01:25:18,196 --> 01:25:22,367
I believe it is impossible to claim the
superiority of one style over another.

732
01:25:23,118 --> 01:25:26,788
It's just that the people who practice
them have different skill levels.

733
01:25:26,872 --> 01:25:30,208
Competitions can help us
uncover our weaknesses

734
01:25:31,543 --> 01:25:35,047
and discover that
we are our own true enemy.

735
01:25:42,804 --> 01:25:46,892
Mr. Huo,
your words are poignant.

736
01:25:49,394 --> 01:25:52,064
Please enjoy.
Thank you.

737
01:26:12,250 --> 01:26:15,379
The fourth and final contest
will now begin.

738
01:26:15,462 --> 01:26:18,340
In this round,
Tanaka of Japan will fight

739
01:26:18,423 --> 01:26:21,301
Huo Yuanjia of China's
Jingwu Sports Federation.

740
01:26:21,927 --> 01:26:23,637
(IN JAPANESE) This is unfair.

741
01:26:25,138 --> 01:26:27,015
Four against one?

742
01:26:28,642 --> 01:26:30,352
You never told me.

743
01:26:30,644 --> 01:26:34,398
Both the Chamber of Commerce
and the Federation agreed.

744
01:26:34,481 --> 01:26:36,108
Don't be concerned.

745
01:26:36,191 --> 01:26:38,360
This is not a competition.

746
01:26:39,653 --> 01:26:41,196
This is murder.

747
01:26:41,279 --> 01:26:43,615
Tanaka, you're overreacting.

748
01:26:43,782 --> 01:26:47,244
Huo Yuanjia has fought the best
fighters from around the world

749
01:26:47,327 --> 01:26:49,996
and has won every time.

what's your deal?

752
01:26:55,877 --> 01:27:00,507
Is this really for Japan's national pride?
Or did you place a large bet?

753
01:27:02,968 --> 01:27:04,886
