The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium

"I still think it's inappropriate. We should also... at least hold a smaller memorial service..."

Perhaps, these workers wanted to travel to attend a memorial service for someone thousands of miles away, not only for the sake of mourning, but also to return to a society they were familiar with in the past, a society where birth, aging, illness and death were taken care of by someone.

Chapter 41: Two or Three Things About the Pressure Cooker Factory (I)

The morning sun shines through the gaps in the curtains into the small R&D center of the pressure cooker factory. Outside, the cold air envelopes the earth, and occasionally the sound of birds breaks the morning tranquility. In this seemingly ordinary R&D center, a group of top students who have just graduated from college with full minds of creativity and passion, and another group of veteran technical backbones who have been engaged in the production and R&D of traditional pressure cookers for many years are "brainstorming" here, where ideas collide fiercely and new ideas collide.

Chen Gong, chairman of the home appliance manufacturing company, the first branch of Huanyu Group, said to the people in this small R&D center: "Everyone here is a revolutionary who promotes the development of productivity. In our small R&D center, there is an innovative project that will change the cooking methods of countless families in the future. We call it the "smart electric pressure cooker."

A huge project schedule was hung on the wall of the R&D center, with each progress node clearly marked. The desk was filled with various instruments and equipment, most of which were imported from abroad at great expense by the group. For many old technical backbones who had worked in the pressure cooker factory for their entire lives, this was very new. They had no idea what would be used to develop a new product... Computer workstations.

But the computer workstations were not only built, but also put to use. Top students from top universities in the United States and China were typing away on their keyboards, chattering about the functional requirements of circuit design, and after agreeing on a direction, they started working non-stop.

They first draw the circuit schematic using OrCAD and select the appropriate microcontroller, sensors, actuators and other components in the process. They perform circuit simulation to verify the correctness of the design. They also purchase the required electronic components such as microcontrollers, power modules, sensors (such as temperature and pressure sensors), power drivers, etc. according to the design selection.

After completing the above work, these top students also have to use Protel to design the PCB (printed circuit board) layout, make PCB samples, solder and assemble components, and conduct preliminary functional tests to ensure that the circuit works properly.

In addition, the college students also enthusiastically used compilers, programmers, ICE (used for online debugging of microcontroller programs), logic analyzers and many other equipment. Some of these equipment were not available to everyone when they were studying, or even if they were used, they were not the most advanced at the moment. However, the scientific research funds of the Universal Group were open to supply, which made a group of science and engineering technical men huddled in a small R&D center particularly excited.

This excitement also makes them forget about food and sleep, and indulge in all the latest equipment provided by the experience group. For example, some college students glanced at the time and thought, "Oh, it's seven o'clock in the evening. I'll go to dinner after working overtime for another hour." Then, after they successfully made a step forward on a project, they suddenly felt hungry and sleepy. They looked up and saw the time. Why is it six o'clock? How did time go backwards?

Is this kind of roll good for players? At least for some manufacturing players, it is indeed good. They can let their game characters get as much experience as possible, even if they are just helping these top students. In particular, some manufacturing players found that their game characters' proficiency points in the fields of electronic information and engineering design have improved significantly.

Although players are currently just working for NPCs to gain experience, one day in the future, perhaps the players' scientific research and creative capabilities will surpass those of the top NPC R&D personnel, and they will be able to manufacture some incredible high-tech equipment for the Universal Group.

However, with the first occurrence of a researcher fainting in the laboratory, players had to strictly prohibit the R&D team from working overtime like crazy. This is because they need to protect the long-term health of the SSRs, and they cannot let a project ruin the health of a group of people, which is really not worth the loss; secondly, the players' own game characters also have the need to eat and sleep, and when the players' game characters leave the team to eat and sleep, they cannot get the team experience, which is really a big loss; thirdly, players can't help but think of the workplace atmosphere in real life, and they can't help but hate the overtime behavior of NPCs in the game world.

Of course, players feel that “overtime” of their game characters is nothing. We are just playing, so is it the same as overtime?

................

While the college students in the R&D team were full of energy, the old technical backbones left in the factory seemed a little lost. For example, the most experienced master in the factory, Zhang, had 20 years of experience in manufacturing pressure cookers. He had countless design drawings and process flows of old pressure cookers and knew the materials and structures like the back of his hand. However, he didn't know much about electronic technology, and he didn't believe that these seemingly fragile small components could work stably under high temperature and high pressure environments.

At the beginning, a group of old technical backbones represented by Lao Zhang were persuaded by Chen Gong. At that time, they had just returned to the factory not long ago. They finally got their first considerable salary, their children's education was guaranteed, and most of the family's medicine was reimbursed. Food, clothing and other expenses were much more comfortable. At that time, the chairman didn't even mention the idea of ​​making a smart electric pressure cooker. If the chairman said "we are going to make a bomb", everyone would study the gunpowder process overnight. So naturally, although the chairman widely solicited everyone's opinions in a democratic form, many people were persuaded by the treatment given by the chairman rather than the reasons he said.

But after a period of time, without the introduction of smart electric pressure cookers, the efficiency of pressure cooker factories has been rapidly improved. On the one hand, many managers who only know how to put on airs but have no real skills have been laid off, reducing the burden;

On the other hand, the factory has improved its after-sales service and sales team. Some players who have taken some minor crafting skills, when they cannot find any interesting tasks, will hang out in stores in downtown areas, waiting to repair pots for citizens, accumulating some crafting experience bit by bit, and collecting interesting gossip. As for the sales team, players are asked to drive through the streets and deliver goods to people's homes. This kind of service is hard for many citizens to refuse, and some have developed "new ways of playing". For example, someone wholesaled some pressure cookers from a pressure cooker factory, then got on the delivery truck of the Universal Group with a sack of money.

The player asked: "Why don't you take your own Santana car?" Then the customer said: "Well, it's because your Universal Group's brand is well-known here. I will take your car back and I will definitely not be robbed on the way."

In this situation, some old technical backbones represented by Master Zhang will inevitably have new ideas. They will think: "Traditional pressure cookers are durable and do not need any intelligence at all. As long as the materials and craftsmanship are solid and reliable, and the quality is excellent, the products produced by our factory are recognized by everyone. There is no need to worry about lack of sales, and there is no need to do anything fancy..."

The old technical backbones think so because they have a lesson to learn from the past. At that time, the factory leaders decided to borrow money to introduce an Italian multifunctional stainless steel production line. The workshop construction period was 3 years, and the equipment utilization rate was less than half after completion. At the same time, the 6000 million yuan technical transformation loan and 4000 million yuan working capital loan from the bank made the factory pay 1200 million yuan in bank interest every year. The newly introduced production line only made a profit of 300 million yuan per year, which was far from enough to pay the bank interest. The blind introduction of foreign equipment unfortunately added nearly million yuan of burden to the company.

The old technical backbones don’t know that it costs nothing for players to raise funds in the United States. They are also worried that the behavior of Universal Group spending lavishly to develop new products will eventually lead to the company’s capital chain being broken. After all, the company has finally started to improve, what if the company goes bankrupt because of the chairman’s ambition... They really don’t want to go back to the state of being laid off in the past.

In addition, another reason why these old technical backbones felt disappointed was that they did not have many opportunities to participate in the early design stage of the smart electric pressure cooker. Many of them were ready to work hard at the beginning after listening to the encouragement of the chairman, but they were confused when they heard the professional terms such as computer and coding mentioned by the chief technical officer.

Some old cadres refused to admit defeat and went to the local city library to borrow relevant books on weekends to study again, but they had too many lessons to make up. How could they understand more than those top students who just graduated from top universities? This made the old cadres even more discouraged, and they felt that they were out of date and eliminated by the times...

Chapter 42: Two or Three Things About the Pressure Cooker Factory (Part 2)

Master Zhang, an old backbone, finished his work in the factory and rode his bicycle home as usual. Before he opened the door, he heard a burst of chaos coming from the house.

"It must be my grandson who got beaten..."

Master Zhang pushed open the door and saw his grandson throwing himself into his arms. His daughter was holding a rolling pin in her hand. She was furious and scolded him, "Look at what you have done! You can't even do such a simple thing, and you even burnt the ribs! We have only had a few days of good life, and you have learned how to waste food before you learn anything else!"

Master Zhang quickly stepped forward and advised: "Don't hit the child. This is not a principled mistake. Chairman Mao used to say 'Punish past mistakes to prevent future ones and cure the disease to save the patient.' The child is still young and it is inevitable that mistakes will be made when cooking. Just say a few words and forget it. Hey, hey, hey! Why do you still want to hit him? Put down your things!"

The daughter put down the spatula and put her hands on her hips: "Dad, I didn't really want to hit him, I was just angry. Life at home has finally gotten a little better, so I got some ribs after get off work and wanted to make a good meal for the family. But this child insisted on being stubborn and wanted to cook it himself. I said okay, I didn't object, but this child put the ribs in the pot, turned on the fire, and went to play by himself. When I smelled the burnt smell..."

"Oh, you should be spanked to teach her a lesson. You didn't mean to ruin the ribs. How could you just turn on the fire and leave?" Master Zhang took the rolling pin from his daughter and said to her, "Children should be spanked, but be careful with your strength. Don't hurt them. Look, spank their buttocks. The flesh here is thick and it's not easy to get hurt."

The beating didn't hurt anything, but it might have killed his grandson's desire to cook for a long time. While Master Zhang was spanking the child, the child cried and said angrily that he would never cook again, unless one day even a fool could do it...

"Any fool could do that..."

Master Zhang suddenly began to think, because he remembered the slogan of his own factory's "smart electric pressure cooker" project: Let fools cook a hearty meal at home...

"Although current pressure cookers are convenient, they still require someone to watch over them. It would be great if there was a pressure cooker that could automatically control the heat and time. It could automatically adjust the cooking time and temperature according to the different ingredients..."

"That's a good idea. If there really is such a pot, I won't have to worry about the food being burnt. But... Dad, can such a pot really be made?"

When Master Zhang returned to the factory to work the next day, he was about to go to the R&D center to inquire about the progress, but the college students there took the initiative to find Master Zhang first. To be precise, those college students came together and collectively invited the old technical backbones to hold a technical seminar together later.

Master Zhang: "Technical seminar? Is it about the smart electric pressure cooker? But we don't really understand what you are talking about, such as intelligence and computers, and we can't give any good suggestions........."

College student: "Yes, Master Zhang, the early functional module design, circuit design and software development have been completed, but... whether our early work is really effective still needs to be tested in practice. We need to make some product prototypes, conduct preliminary functional tests and verification functional tests, and comprehensively test various functions of the product, including pressure tests, temperature tests, and electrical safety tests to ensure the safety of product use. And according to the test results, we need to repair product defects and optimize the design... All of this is inseparable from product prototypes."

Master Zhang immediately understood what the college students meant. They wanted to make a test product first, just like the first pressure cooker made in the factory. Before the official mass production, the city's leaders in charge of industry would be invited to organize a city-level appraisal meeting to issue a pass for the pressure cooker to enter the market. The inspection content includes destructive pressure test, safety plug, pressure limiting valve, sealing ring, etc.; the appraisal team also needs to repeatedly scrutinize the scientificity and accuracy of the pressure cooker manual, word by word, and the cooking time of various ingredients, which is to test whether the "instructions" in the manual are accurate.

Just as Master Zhang was about to agree, he heard the college students say:

"We all know that in the subsequent R&D process, in terms of key product production process design, we students are still students, while you and the senior technical backbones in the factory are our masters."

This sentence undoubtedly benefited veteran technical backbones like Master Zhang. Before the advent of this smart electric pressure cooker, the factory had carried out a series of product technology improvements and developed 14 varieties of new products including stainless steel, alloy steel, iron non-stick, iron enamel, explosion-proof safety, imitation porcelain oxidation, hard oxidation, and natural color change. The development of these new products was centered on veteran technical backbones like Master Zhang.

Now, there is finally an opportunity for Master Zhang and his colleagues to participate in the subsequent development process of the pressure cooker, which undoubtedly makes these old backbones feel happy that "there is a place for me to use my skills again."

..............

Ever since the two generations, one new and one old, in the R&D center started arguing about the new generation of smart electric pressure cookers, the invisible barrier between the two sides seemed to be broken. At least they would eat in the cafeteria together at noon and sit at the same table to eat. When eating, they would talk about work, but would also occasionally insert topics of daily life.

At first, both sides praised each other. The college students praised the workers for their good skills; the workers praised the college students as the chosen ones, and they all had the opportunity to make a lot of money. Then, after both sides compared the salary and benefits, they found that... the difference was not that big. After all, even the salary of Chairman Chen Gong was only three times that of ordinary workers.

"I heard that if you college students go to Shanghai or Guangzhou, you can earn much more than here. Why do you choose to come here? What's the point?"

"For security. The company doesn't pay me much, but the medical insurance is high. When I'm seriously ill, they can even take me abroad for treatment. Which company would give me such treatment? And the company annuity is also high. When I retire from the company, I can get a large sum of money. So I'm more afraid of the company going bankrupt than the chairman himself. In addition to security, we also want dividends from intellectual property rights! The company's rules and regulations state that no less than 2% of the operating profit of the patent will be taken each year as compensation to the inventor or designer."

"Wow, we didn't notice this, no wonder you guys worked so hard to invent..."

"Hey, Master Zhang, you...you haven't read the company's rules and regulations carefully, right? You are also members of the R&D team. You have medical insurance and annuities. We still have to rely on you for the process design. After the product is launched on the market, you can also get the dividends."

"What? Shit! Eat quickly, eat quickly. After eating, let's not take a nap. Let's go back and work overtime..."

"Oh, Master Zhang, do you think we don't want to? They have locked the door of the R&D center and prohibit entry outside working hours..."

Chapter 43: Two or Three Things About the Pressure Cooker Factory (Part 3)

For adults and minors in the factory, working and living around the Huanyu Group is much better than before. For the workers, they just need to work honestly from 8 am to 5 pm according to the rules. The salary they get is not very high (a considerable part of it is deducted as employee security fund), but these former state-owned enterprise workers did not get high salaries in the past. They mainly enjoyed various welfare benefits in the past.

And now, this kind of welfare benefits have returned again (part of it is deducted from the salary, and part of it is subsidized by the company).

First, there is someone to take care of work-related injuries, and the factory bears all medical expenses. If you or your family members are sick, you can go to the company clinic to register for medical treatment and get medicine at a very cheap price. If the company clinic does not have the medicine, the cost of going out for treatment can be reimbursed after verification.

On the open space next to the family quarters, taller, newer family buildings and staff dormitories equipped with elevators are rising from the ground. As for the old family buildings, they will of course be demolished as soon as possible after everyone moves into their new homes, and then new nursing homes, kindergartens, and leisure and entertainment venues will be built on the land of the old family quarters.

In the blink of an eye, it seems that everything in the past has returned. The era of free medical treatment, free education for children, free water, electricity, and housing, and even free haircuts, baths, and movies has returned. However, when the workers of the pressure cooker factory leave the factory and walk around the city, the depressed scene still reminds them that they are just a few lucky ones in the era of mass layoffs.

When the workers from the pressure cooker factory are seen walking on the street by their former friends, relatives and neighbors, they are often praised for being lucky as they can even find a company that provides welfare benefits these days. The laid-off workers from other factories in the city find it difficult to even make a living, let alone welfare.

"It is difficult to go to school, difficult to see a doctor, and difficult to find housing" are still the "three mountains" hanging over the heads of the vast majority of people.

They said: "Now everything costs money, and schools charge money in various ways. Today it's three dollars, tomorrow it's five dollars. In addition to tuition and miscellaneous fees, there are many other fees, such as textbook fees, supplementary class fees, materials fees, and test paper fees. Anyway, everything costs money. How can poor children afford to go to school?"

Some people also said in big-character posters:

"In the past, the retirement and medical care of employees were not a problem at all. When the time came, they would retire normally and enjoy their old age. If they were sick, they would go to the hospital for treatment. No matter how serious the illness was, they did not have to worry about the medical expenses. This is the socialist labor insurance treatment that the majority of employees are familiar with. Now everything has changed. The medical insurance that our employees should have has disappeared without a trace and has no place to go. If they are sick, they have to spend money on living expenses. Medical expenses have risen exponentially. An ordinary cold used to cost more than 20 yuan to cure, but now it costs more than 800 yuan. How many employees can bear the burden of medical care? If there is any, it is only a drop in the ocean.

When asked, "What should I do if I get sick?" more than 80% of the workers answered, "For minor illnesses, I can just buy a few pills to deal with them, but for serious illnesses, I have to endure it and leave it to fate!" In the past few years, several workers in the factory have died because they had no money to treat their illnesses. It's so helpless and sad!"

The pressure cooker factory workers who have experienced layoffs are deeply impressed by the above content and still remember it vividly. They will cherish even more the situation of being in a "paradise" during the current wave of layoffs.

So, when the adults in the factory learned that they could not relax as freely as they used to at night, no one objected.

.................

"What? There's a limit on the amount of money you can spend just to play cards or mahjong?"

"No excessive drinking allowed. Anyone seen drunkenly will be suspended from work for a week. Cancel the work allowance for that week..."

"There are still night schools at night? No, I am already so old, why do you still want me to go to school?"

At first, the workers thought that the factory wanted them to work overtime at night. After all, the factory had a lot of orders, and as long as the factory was willing to pay overtime, many people had no objection. But who knew that the leaders of Huanyu Group actually held a meeting to encourage everyone to take elective courses at night. No matter what you want to learn, you can choose a course every six months, one or two at a time, and you will have to take elective exams at the end of June and December every year. Prizes will be given if you do well on the exams.

I don't know how many people went there for the prizes, or for the sake of really learning something. In short, the night school did not experience the worst reception. When the employees learned that their family members could also sign up, they mobilized their family members to participate. Anyway, many people's family members had nothing to do at home at night, so they might as well go to class, where there would be more people and it would be more lively.

The workers gathered around the course selection list, muttering as if they were looking at a menu: "Look at what classes there are... English, painting, dancing, basketball, badminton, table tennis... musical instruments, computers? Those things with screens that those college students play with? Let's see what's available... fighting skills, hey, this is great! I have to learn this, it will be useful in future fights..."

"Lao Wang, who do you want to beat up after learning martial arts?"

"Hey, keep this a secret!"

The Universal Group not only wants to occupy the workers' daytime time on weekdays, but also tries to occupy part of their nighttime time. After all, this time is either occupied by the current poor and boring entertainment methods, or occupied by players. For many workers who have experienced layoffs, their entertainment methods are almost only drinking, smoking, and playing cards. They are happy every day. Even after they start working, the habits they have developed in the past have not changed. So instead of being depressed like this, it is better to let this time be occupied by players. At least they can learn something in class, and by the way, they can meet the players' needs of "being a teacher".

There are ready-made schools, canteens and auditoriums in the factory that can be used, and as for teachers, there will be no shortage of them.

On the one hand, there are actually a lot of talented people who have been laid off or are dissatisfied with their low salaries, such as college teachers. They are also willing to go to night school to earn some extra money in their spare time. On the other hand, many workers have used their spare time to cultivate one or two hobbies, whether it is playing a musical instrument or dancing, and they have practiced them to a very good level. However, with the arrival of the wave of layoffs, they need to spend all their time trying to find ways to find an opportunity to make money.

Sometimes, these workers need to make a living by using their hobbies. For example, those who can play musical instruments can take small commercial performances and play music for weddings and funerals. Or those who can dance can dance for their bosses in dance halls. Now, Huanyu Group invites them to teach at night schools, and almost no one will refuse.

On the other hand, many players who like to teach others can be teachers for free. After all, when teaching others, they will also gain proficiency and experience points. For example, players can teach workers how to drive, or they can be fighting teachers that players are vying to become..........

Chapter 44 This is Street Fighting

At night, many places in the pressure cooker factory were still brightly lit, but this was not because they were working overtime, but because today was the day for the night school. The summer air was filled with a faint smell of sweat, and the usually quiet indoor activity area was now extremely noisy. Many workers came to the martial arts class for the first time, and all of them showed excitement and curiosity on their faces. They sat on the floor in groups of three or five, some chatting with each other, some doing simple stretching exercises, and others discussing the content of tonight's class in a low voice.

"What is the coach going to teach us? Tai Chi? Or Bruce Lee's Kung Fu?"

"Tai Chi? Isn't that what old men and old ladies do? I still hope to learn something useful..."

Just as everyone was talking, the door of the classroom was pushed open. A tall, muscular man walked in, wearing a simple black vest, revealing his strong arms and bulging muscles, with a sharp gaze. The whole audience suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. Not only were they surprised by his strong body, but also because of his scary-looking but familiar face...

"Hello students, I am your martial arts coach!"

The workers were all stunned, with shocked expressions on their faces. This, this, this... Isn't this the manager of the Universal Group who has the same status as their chairman? Among the students present, there are several who have received resettlement fees from the manager... I have heard that this manager has great kung fu skills. On the way to the northeast by train, he fought a group of train robbers alone, and the robbers didn't even hurt the manager. However, the manager usually wears a suit and tie, and looks elegant and easy-going. Before tonight, it was hard to believe that he would take off his suit, put on a vest and become a martial arts coach...

Without waiting for the students to come back to their senses, Liang Ruikun continued to speak and asked, "Can anyone here tell me why you learn martial arts?"

"Um, to keep fit?" a student raised his hand and answered.

"In order to win the fight!" another student shouted, causing a burst of laughter.

Liang Ruikun nodded and said to the students: "Martial arts are definitely used for fighting. If it is just for strengthening the body, it is fitness, not martial arts. Wu means ferocity and violence, and Shu means means and skills, so martial arts is the means and skills to display ferocity and violence. The martial arts I want to teach you are not limited to moves and routines. The only goal is to knock the opponent down, preferably to beat him into the underworld in one breath..."

"Coach, does that mean I can kick my opponent in the crotch?"

"As long as it works, of course!"

After hearing this, the workers immediately started talking about it. Some were worried about whether this was too violent, while others were excited and scoffed at those so-called concerns. "How can there be no violence these days? Can we avoid violence just because we want to? We may encounter robbers and hooligans just by walking around the streets. Why would we rather be bullied than learn a few hard self-defense moves?"

Seeing the students talking, Liang Ruikun made a gesture to ask everyone to be quiet, and then continued to ask:

"Let me ask you, if you see someone in the distance about to come and beat you up, what should you do first?"

"Hit him!"

"No, you should try to run, the faster the better!" Liang Ruikun said, "Whether you call the police or ask us for help, it's much better than dealing with it alone. After all, you don't know how many people are on the other side, and you don't know if he has a knife hidden in his clothes."

The students were stunned again. The coach had been so enthusiastic before, why was he so excited now?

Liang Ruikun continued, "The martial arts moves I teach you can only be used against specific targets and only in critical moments. They must not be used to fight with others. They are not for you to fight with others at the slightest disagreement, and they are certainly not for you to bully others. The only target of its use is the enemy. Who is the enemy? For example, from the people around us, they are the criminals who bully us. They may be numerous and powerful, with machetes and sticks in their hands. Facing such a vicious enemy, your best strategy is still to run, but what if you encounter a situation where there is nowhere to escape? Should we kneel down and beg for mercy, hoping for the other party's mercy, or..."

"Kill him!"

"Absolutely correct!" Liang Ruikun gave a thumbs up. "A great man once said that we should be as ruthless to our enemies as autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves. In critical moments, in order to protect the lives of ourselves, our relatives and friends, and to fight against criminals, we will use martial arts moves without scruples. Just like a student mentioned before, we can use the crotch kick, and we must kick quickly, accurately and fiercely. One kick will cut off the family line! In subsequent courses, I will explain to you the details of this crotch kick..."

These students are already quite old, and if you teach them serious traditional martial arts, they neither have the time nor the interest to learn it, so you have to teach them something practical. Coincidentally, Liang Ruikun and a group of combat players have figured out a set of lethal street martial arts that are very suitable for them to quickly master based on their own character's combat abilities.

But before the class officially starts, the coach still has to set rules for the students. The rules of learning this martial art are similar to "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will definitely offend him." In other words, the street martial arts taught by Liang Ruikun and others must never be used to bully others or in daily conflicts. This deadly trick can only be used when you are threatened by criminals and have nowhere to escape, and it is also the most effective way to do so.

As Liang Ruikun spoke, he suddenly turned around and threw a punch quickly. The wind from his fist was whistling, and the punch directly hit the sandbag, causing it to flip in the air. There was no unnecessary tricks at all.

"Wow..." The workers present exclaimed in unison, their eyes full of admiration and worship. Everyone knew the weight of the sandbag. Before Liang Ruikun came to the classroom, everyone had taken turns to punch it a few times. It was precisely because they knew how much the sandbag weighed that they were even more surprised at how powerful Liang Ruikun's iron fist was.

"Today, we will start with the basic stance and footwork." Liang Ruikun demonstrated the standard fighting stance, with legs slightly bent, center of gravity stable, and hands naturally raised in front of the chest in a defensive position. "This posture can help you maintain balance and flexibility, which is very important whether you are attacking or defending. The workers carefully imitated Liang Ruikun's movements, adjusting their postures from time to time, striving to achieve the standard.

Liang Ruikun patiently walked to each student and corrected their movements one by one.

"Very good, Xiao Zhang, pay attention to your steps, don't be too stiff, be more flexible."
