Perfect Life

Friday, July 27, 2004.

9pm EST.

New York.

James Frank dragged his exhausted body back home, opened the door and went in, and actually heard the sound of a TV in the room-his first reaction was to be startled, and subconsciously wanted to touch something in his hand that could fight , the second reaction is to call the police!

But he came back to his senses immediately—after putting down his briefcase, he took a look inside, and sure enough, it was his own pair of children.

The eldest daughter Lily is fifteen and the youngest son John is thirteen.

Think again, yeah, it's Friday again.

He put down his briefcase and walked into the living room, "Hey, kids, sorry, I'm late from get off work, have you had dinner yet?"

The two were watching a TV show attentively, when Lily heard the words, she turned around and said, "Hello, Dad. Mom sent us here after dinner."

James shrugged and smiled, unable to hide his embarrassment.

He walked over and kissed his daughter on the side of the face. Seeing that his son didn't even turn his head back and was still watching TV intently, he went over and kissed his son on the top of his head, then asked Lily, "How is your mother?"

Lily had already turned her head to watch TV, and she just hummed when she heard the words.

James spread his hands.

He felt that he should get himself some food, but at this moment, both physical and psychological exhaustion made him really have no intention of doing anything else.

Looking at the two children, he was standing behind the sofa, and he suddenly felt emotional, "Hey, Lily, Honey, can you stand up and let Dad see how tall you are?"

Lily glanced at her father in surprise when she heard the words, stood up for a while, then sat down again, looked back at the TV again, and said, "What's wrong, father?"

James spread his hands, a little surprised by his daughter's height, and patted his son on the shoulder, "Hey, John, man, come, stand up and let Dad see how tall you are."

John didn't seem to be as talkative as his sister, and with a reluctant look, he stood up reluctantly, slouching, and said at the same time, "Please, we come every week, don't you know how tall we are?"

James sighed and murmured, "Yeah, Dad didn't know you were so tall."

Turning to look at his daughter again, he said, "Your mother raised you very well. She is a good mother."

After thinking about it, he clapped his hands and tried to draw the attention of his sons and daughters away from the TV, saying, "Hey, hey, kids, I have a proposal, how about we go out for something to eat? Daddy invites you to eat. Food, eat what you want the most, okay?"

"Oh, don't!"

"My God, Dad!"

The reactions of both children were a bit big.

But they all looked very interested and helpless.

Lily said: "But now it's nine o'clock at night, Dad, I will gain weight by eating, and I want to lose weight! And we have to wait and watch the show!"

John said, "The point is to watch the show! Can you do it tomorrow, Dad?"

James shrugged and spread his hands. "Of course! Uh, of course!"

"Thank you dad!"

"Thank you dad!"

The two little guys turned back every second and continued to stare at the TV screen.

Finally, James started noticing what was on the TV.

When two kids are dropped off on Friday afternoons or evenings, they tend to prefer to run to the computer—they usually agree to play for an hour each.

And TV... American kids don't seem to like watching TV that much anymore.

Unless there is something they are particularly interested in.

In particular, there seem to be very few shows these days that allow two children to watch together peacefully.

James thought about it, went around, sat down in the middle of the sofa, with his daughter on the left and his son on the right, he asked, "Hey, what are you looking at, can you share with Dad? Who is that person?"

It was Lily who answered him, "The Thompson Talk Show, that's the guest of this issue, it's called Zhou, China Week."

"Wow, Chinese."

At this time, John rarely turned his head to look at his father, and solemnly emphasized, "China Zhou is very good, he can dodge bullets!"

"Wow!" James was stunned.

At this time Lily smiled and said, "Hey, John! How many times have I told you, that's the director's credit, that's China Qian's credit, he just has a special way to shoot that kind of scene. It's not that Zhou Hui is dodging bullets. However, Zhou knows Chinese Kung Fu, Dad, he knows Chinese Kung Fu!"

"Wow!"

James was embarrassed to find that in the face of a pair of children, he seemed to have only this one tone left to say.

What they said, what they loved, he hardly understood.

So he asked, "Did you see the new movie? What movie?"

"The Matrix!" The two of them rushed to answer.

At this time, on the TV screen, the host Thompson did not know what to say, and the audience burst into laughter again, just as James heard when he first entered the door.

And that China Week, he smiled and shrugged.

And James Frank's sons and daughters also laughed.

Lily also said to her brother, "He's so cute, isn't he?"

John nodded again and again and laughed, "Yeah yeah, he's so cute! But also cool! I love his trench coat! It's so cool!"

Lily waved, "Oh my God, little boy fantasy!"

John gave his sister a middle finger.

James frowned, subconsciously wanting to reprimand his son something, wanting to tell him that he should not give the **** to anyone, especially his family and sister.

But Lily herself didn't seem to care, and she turned her **** back with a smile.

But in fact, neither of them paid much attention to these details.

When it reached his throat, James took it back.

He thought, "If it was their mother, maybe I could say something about them. And myself..."

After a pause, he suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "The Matrix? Is it a shootout movie? Your mother took you to see it? God, John, you are only thirteen years old..."

John turned his head in dissatisfaction, when Lily suddenly said: "Hey, Dad, PG-13, John can watch it. In fact, there are no swear words in the movie, no **** scenes, and no **** scenes, OK? And, yes I went to see it with John and we both loved it."

James shrugged.

"OK! OK!"

In the talk show, that China Week faced the host Thompson's pressing questions and answered quickly, but he spoke Chinese, and beside him sat a beautiful lady who was constantly in charge of putting His words were translated into English - James had listened to a portion of their conversation and was not very interested.

It does seem to be an issue with a movie.

Turning his head to look at his daughter and then at his son, his inner disappointment became more and more fierce.

I don't know anything about the things that my children are interested in and like, and it is impossible to tell them about some of my troubles—those things bother me.

Suddenly, he felt so lonely.

The sound of laughing sounded from time to time, and the children sitting on the left and right also laughed along with it. It seemed that it was a very interesting thing, but I didn't understand what they were laughing at at all.

Suddenly he felt a little sad.

He'd felt lonely more than once since he divorced their mom, but for the first time, he felt a little pathetic.

Depressed, depressed, he sighed silently in his heart, and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat for himself, but before he got up, the TV suddenly became lively, and his children were also surprised They looked at each other and said in unison, "Wow!"

James' attention was drawn at once, "Hey, hey, kids, what's the matter?"

John's face flushed with excitement and his eyes were frighteningly bright, "Hey, Dad, China Week is going to fight the boxing champion!"

"What?"

Americans love to watch boxing matches and are famous all over the world. In response to this demand, the United States has numerous open and underground boxing matches of various specifications.

James doesn't really like boxing matches, but he has seen some of them, especially when his male colleagues often chat during work, so he has a certain understanding of some underground boxing matches in the United States and even in New York City. .

So he knows that although the word boxing champion is actually not valuable in the United States, there are various championships in various events. But even the champions of the underground competitions, or the champions of some small competitions, are not dry-fed, they all have powerful attacking power!

A movie actor, going to fight a boxing champion?

What-the-F!

Is this going crazy?

On the TV screen, the Chinese Zhou, who looked a little thin after standing up, spread out his hands and said something in Chinese. After he finished speaking, the beautiful translator beside him said loudly: "The essence of Chinese Kung Fu lies in fast speed. Strikes, and attacks on key points. Chinese kung fu does not advocate absolute power, and focuses on defeating thousands of troops with skill. Therefore, I don’t care about the opponent’s boxing level.”

"Wow!"

This time, not only the Frank family, but also the hundreds of spectators at the scene, including the host Thompson, all screamed in surprise.

James Frank said subconsciously: "Does he want to fight the heavyweight champion?"

He looked at China Zhou's thin-looking oriental body on the TV screen, and couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

American boxing, of course, can also be said to be a boxing sport in the world. There are strict classifications for the weight of the body. Boxing itself is a sport that places great importance on strength. There is a huge difference in muscle weight, which leads to a huge difference in strength. Therefore, the strength of the heavyweight champion and the lightweight champion can basically be understood as not on the same level.

Or it can be said that the boxing match, the more formal the boxing match is, the more believe in the Chinese saying, called "one power conquers a hundred clubs"! On the contrary, in some underground boxing matches, those who play wild boxing are the real heroes based on victory or defeat. In many cases, the weight class of the boxer can be ignored.

Of course, any competition, as long as it is competitive, does not value dexterity, but that is another topic - at least in the eyes of the American public, as well as quite a few boxing fans, China Zhou dared to say such a thing , it doesn't matter to the opponent's weight class, this is definitely a bragging that is not afraid of death!

However, right at the scene, when China Zhou finished his remarks, the host Thompson actually invited someone on the spot—coincidentally, James actually knew this person.

This is the last championship of a boxing event in the United States last year - a well-deserved boxing champion!

Of course, although James doesn't know much about boxing, he still knows that this title should be somewhat watery, because that event is not a top boxing match.

And he just happened to watch a few of his fights last year and just witnessed his title - one can imagine, if he is the champion of the top heavyweight event, it would not be so easy to be beaten like this. The show is called in the past, and I have to compete with people on the spot. Boxing champions in top-level events would not take such risks.

But a boxer is a boxer.

Hawk Aaron.

Just look at the guy who came out of the backstage~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When he stood in front of the host Thompson and China Zhou, he was a huge figure taller than them, whatever. People will subconsciously feel that China Zhou can't even hold a punch from the opponent!

Just one punch will definitely make China Zhou unable to get up!

But at this time, the TV screen cut to China Zhou, but he didn't panic or panic, he didn't mean to be afraid at all, but looked at boxing champion Aaron up and down with a smile on his face.

As a boxing champion, although Aaron did not come out of the top competition, he is a boxing champion after all. Even at the scene, he has more than a dozen fans. As soon as he appeared, he reported With warm applause.

In the TV screen, the host Thompson introduced the origin of Hawke Aaron to the audience, which attracted bursts of applause and exclamations. Outside the TV screen, James finally found an entry point to communicate with his pair of children. Loudly describing to my sons and daughters how I felt when I watched Aaron's boxing match last year, and describing to them the fierceness of the boxing champion, I heard Lily and John exclaimed in amazement!

At this time, the host also specially introduced that boxing champion Aaron was specially invited by the show. He likes unrestricted fighting very much, and is usually interested in Chinese kung fu. This time I heard that a Chinese kung fu master came over, so the show As soon as he was invited, he agreed.

When the host repeatedly asked about China Week, he smiled shyly, but repeatedly said something in Chinese. His interpreter translated his words, saying: "No problem. I have no problem! Let's have a friendly discussion. , I'll try to be as light as possible."

At the scene of the show, all kinds of strange noises.

The sofa has been removed, and the stage is empty.

Thompson shrugged, then backed away, signaling that you can start.
