As a master,
you should be ashamed of yourself.

573

The foreigners have bullied us for too long.
650
01:19:52,100 --> 01:19:54,269
Someone should stand up to them.
651
01:19:54,352 --> 01:19:56,771
Why do foreigners look down on us?
652
01:19:56,855 --> 01:19:59,190
Because we're not united.
653
01:19:59,274 --> 01:20:03,403
lt's a fact. For years, we fought,
Chinese against Chinese.
654
01:20:04,112 --> 01:20:06,114
That's why the West belittles us.
655
01:20:06,197 --> 01:20:08,992
"Weak men of the East," what an insult!

01:24:49,606 --> 01:24:53,526
Once you learn, you can tell the difference.
723
01:24:54,569 --> 01:24:56,237
Maybe you're right.
724
01:24:56,446 --> 01:24:58,114
The way l see it,
725
01:24:58,656 --> 01:25:02,285
the tea is not in a position to judge itself.
726
01:25:03,036 --> 01:25:06,915
We should let people
be the judge of the tea.
727
01:25:07,999 --> 01:25:10,168
As for me, l don't want to do that.
728
01:25:11,461 --> 01:25:13,046
Why not?
729
01:25:13,129 --> 01:25:16,341
When you are in a good mood,
730
01:25:18,009 --> 01:25:20,720
the grade of the tea does not matter.
731
01:25:20,929 --> 01:25:23,014
l've never seen it that way.
732
01:25:23,515 --> 01:25:27,519
Even with the various wushu styles,
you still claim
733
01:25:28,061 --> 01:25:31,815
that no one style is superior to the others?
734
01:25:32,065 --> 01:25:33,650
That's what l believe.
735
01:25:34,943 --> 01:25:37,570
Then l have another question.
736
01:25:38,655 --> 01:25:41,116
lf no particular style is superior,
737
01:25:41,282 --> 01:25:43,576
why have so many competitions?
738
01:25:43,660 --> 01:25:47,831
l believe it is impossible to claim
the superiority of one style over another.
739
01:25:48,581 --> 01:25:52,252
lt's just that the people who practise them
have different skill levels.
740
01:25:52,335 --> 01:25:55,672
Competitions can help us
uncover our weaknesses
741
01:25:57,006 --> 01:26:00,510
and discover
that we are our own true enemy.
742
01:26:08,268 --> 01:26:12,313
Mr Huo, your words are poignant.
743
01:26:14,816 --> 01:26:17,527
-Please enjoy.
-Thank you.
744
01:26:37,714 --> 01:26:40,842
The fourth and final contest will now begin.
745
01:26:40,925 --> 01:26:43,803
ln this round, Tanaka of Japan will fight
746
01:26:43,887 --> 01:26:46,765
Huo Yuanjia
of China's Jingwu Sports Federation.
747
01:26:47,390 --> 01:26:49,100
(lN JAPANESE) This is unfair.
748
01:26:50,602 --> 01:26:52,479
Four against one?
749
01:26:54,105 --> 01:26:55,815
You never told me.
750
01:26:56,107 --> 01:26:59,861
Both the Chamber of Commerce
and the Federation agreed.
751
01:26:59,944 --> 01:27:01,571
Don't be concerned.
752
01:27:01,654 --> 01:27:03,823
This is not a competition.
753
01:27:05,116 --> 01:27:06,659
This is murder.
754
01:27:06,743 --> 01:27:09,079
Tanaka, you're overreacting.
755
01:27:09,245 --> 01:27:12,707
Huo Yuanjia has fought the best fighters
from around the world
756
01:27:12,791 --> 01:27:15,460
and has won every time.
He agreed to the rules.
757
01:27:15,543 --> 01:27:16,711
Mr Mita,
758
01:27:18,713 --> 01:27:20,548
what's your deal?
759
01:27:21,341 --> 01:27:25,970
ls this really for Japan's national pride?
Or did you place a large bet?
760
01:27:28,389 --> 01:27:30,350
To compete is to win.
761
01:27:48,159 --> 01:27:49,619
(lN CHlNESE) Begin!
762
01:27:49,869 --> 01:27:53,790
Master Huo, this is an unfair contest.
763
01:27:54,874 --> 01:27:57,752
lf you wish to fight at some other time,
764
01:27:58,002 --> 01:28:00,255
it would be fine with me.
765
01:28:00,672 --> 01:28:03,133
l appreciate your thoughtfulness.
766
01:28:03,258 --> 01:28:06,553
We started the fight. Let's finish it.

01:28:07,929 --> 01:28:09,222
Please.

01:28:26,990 --> 01:28:28,324

Poison.

What's wrong with the tea?

01:32:17,220 --> 01:32:20,473
The tea is poisoned,
but the evidence is gone.

-Yuanjia, we're going to the hospital.

Master, let me take revenge!
796
01:32:33,737 --> 01:32:35,071
Zhensheng,
797
01:32:37,657 --> 01:32:40,869
we must not take revenge.
798
01:32:44,372 --> 01:32:48,460
Revenge only brings more bloodshed.
799
01:32:50,378 --> 01:32:52,380
That's not what l want.
800
01:32:54,591 --> 01:32:57,969

l'm just a fighter.
805
01:33:13,610 --> 01:33:17,739
lt took me years to understand
the true meaning of wushu

01:33:19,324 --> 01:33:21,367
and its purpose.
807
01:33:22,911 --> 01:33:25,288
