Fearless Page #4

Synopsis: Martial arts legend Huo Yuanjia became the most famous fighter in all of China at the turn of the 20th Century. Huo faced personal tragedy but ultimately fought his way out of darkness and into history, defining the true spirit of martial arts. His self-discovery, and the choices he made, inspired his nation. The son of a great fighter who did not wish for his child to follow in his footsteps, the bullied Huo Yuanjia resolves to teach himself how to fight - and win. Years of training enable him to ace match after match in his home region of Tianjin. But as his fame as a martial arts master grows, so does his pride. After an ill-advised fight leads to another master's death, members of Huo's family are slain in revenge. Grieving and ashamed, Huo wanders the country in shock. Near death, he is rescued by women from an idyllic village, and is offered simple kindness and generosity that help him heal and regain his equilibrium over a period of several years. Huo realizes that the future of

He likes to meet you

I heard that he is an excellent fighter

We can only improve by fighting with the best

Yuan Jia, this challenge from the foreigners

I don't think it's that simple

If not why would they want you

to take on 4 fighters at once

I guess they would try to make use

of this opportunity to weaken our morale

So that our school will lose its

influence in Shanghai

Indeed, and we must win all four

matches to conclude the challenge

It is not fair at all

But as we live

Who can say that all matters in life are fair

For School of JingWu

I have no other options

But what if...

Jing Soon!

I have something to discuss with you

What is it about?

After this challenge

I want you to become the next president

Why?

I want to take some time off to visit YueChi

I've made a promise

Can I conclude that you have no knowledge of tea

Not that I don't understand

I'm just unwilling..

I don't want to rank the tea

I am fine as long as it's tea

But tea has smell and grade

What is good? What is bad?

They all grow in nature

Without rank or distinction

It's seem that you still have not understood

Otherwise nature will determine a rank

You are right

So I realized that

The quality of tea

is not from the tea itself

It's decided by people

Different people have different choices

I'm unwilling to choose this

Oh, why?

Appreciating tea depend on your emotion

If you're happy

Does the quality of tea matter?

Oh, I've never thought of that

According from Sir, there are numerous factions of martial arts

Is it true there is no superiority or inferiority?

Yes, those are my sendiments..

In that case, I would like to pose a question to you

Since there are no differences between martial arts

Why are there competitions in martial arts

I meant that all martial arts are equal

It's the disgression of a person to manifest the art

We can further improve through competitions

and to discover one's true self

Finally the real opponent is ourselves

Only through competition,

can one recognise one's true self

Is that you meant?

The worst fight is with oneself

I'm honored to having this conversation with you

Our aim is to appreciate tea

Let's not talk further and forget about the tea

Come, try the tea

- Yes, the tea

"1910, Shanghai"

"Theater Biarya, French territory"

"The competition at the arena"

Ladies and gentlmen

The last fight of the day

Anno Tanaka from Japan

Versus Huo YuanJia from School of JingWu

What's the matter?

One versus four?

Why don't you tell me before?

We have discussed this before

You need not be surprised

Is this a competition?

This is murder!

- You worry unnecessarily

Huo YuanJia is King of Arena

Outstanding fighters from all over the country

were arranged to meet him today...

San Tian

What are you?

Is this for the honor of Japan?

Or is it for personal gain?

For me, martial art is important

Your mission is to win this competition

Let's start!

Brother Yuan Jia

- This competition is unfair to you

I have no objections

If you choose to fight on another day

I appreciate your good intentions

But since I am already standing in this arena

There must be a conclusion to the match

Please!

Start!

Good, very good

Excellent, master!

A draw, next round will be unarmed combat

Both sides please prepare yourselves..

YuanJia!

Stop!

- What happen?

Tanaka, why stop fighting?

Yuan Jia!

Tanaka!

- Go

Yuan Jia, what happen?

How are you?

I've been poisoned..

- Poisoned?!

How can it be?

What did it happen?

What are you doing?

- Water!

Your cup!

What happen to your drink?

There is poison in the drink!

The evidence has been removed already

Yuan Jia, let's go to hospital

Master, we go to hospital

I've over-exerted myself

Too late, the poison is making its way to my heart

- Master, I will revenge you...

Zhen Sheng!

You should not be seeking revenge

Hatred will beget hatred

I don't want to see these hatred

What is important is strengthen one's self

- Yuan Jia!

Master

- Yuan Jia, let's stop the fight

I will send you to hospital, let's go

- Jing Soon!

I'm just a brute fighter

I took many years to understand what martial arts is

and what I have done with it?

This competition not yet to finish

We can't choose the life they wanted

But we must have the courage to finish it

Master...

What are you doing?

- What do you mean?

You ask too many questions!

(I must win this fight)

Just win this competition!

Constantly strive to better oneself!

See for yourself...

Don't fight

Staying alive is most important

Listen,

Living is not just for one person

If we must fight, I will not hold back

This will be my honor

Master...

Wait!

Huo

Yuan

Jia

Yuan Jia!

Huo Yuan Jia...

- Huo Yuan Jia...

Master!

Huo Yuan Jia...

- Huo Yuan Jia...

Master!

Tanaka, see what have you done!

I've lost!

- Say who and witnessed by who?

I saw it myself

I've lost by virtue of martial art ethics

- Who are you to decide?

How can you make decisions just like that?

San Tian

You're an embarrassment to Japan

Huo YuanJia died shortly after arriving

at the hospital, he was only 42 years old

After his death, his teachings have

continued to flourish among the people.

To date, the school has established

internationally in over 50 countries...

Dr. Sun YatSen has written these words

in memory of Huo YuanJia's aspirations

"Essence of learning martial arts"
