>Los Angeles Gudong: Xiangpu through eating. Can Xiangpu and eating be the same thing? You will understand later. What I’m talking about here is Japan’s Xiangpu. Xiangpu is one of the wrestling sports. We are used to calling it wrestling, which is wrestling, that is, two people sumo wrestling, and the victory is to knock down the other party. There are many kinds of wrestling. If we measure it by strength and strength, Mongolian style is the most exciting. There is this event in the World Games, but Japan's prime minister is considered an outlier and is not allowed to participate. However, it seems that they have no intention of participating. This is their national quintessence, and Xiangshou is a national treasure. They are more loved and respected by the Chinese people than the generals of the American NBA, and the grand and lively scene of the annual national finals is even worse than that of the NBA. Fortunately, the author had the opportunity to attend and watch a show this year. It’s really not easy. I heard that the tickets have long been underwritten by certain groups or sold out by scalpers. By the time you come to buy them, even if they are available, they will cost at least several hundred dollars. Our tickets were given to us by a friend, a set of four, which probably cost several thousand dollars. Looking back, I felt a little uneasy. Like everyone else, we enter with reverence. Like most sports venues, the arena is located in the center of the venue. But the seats are completely different. They are not arranged in rows, but in groups of four, with a square box as a unit, which is straight and square. There were only three of us here, and we were not very big. We occupied four seats. We thought it was very "loose" and we didn't want to sit down for a long time. Someone brought us four big bags of things, as well as beer, soda and hot tea. At this point, this small square frame had us firmly framed. I really didn't expect that this big bag per person was actually full of food. The gong hadn't sounded yet on the wrestling side, but we started to eat first. The food is not exquisite, but rich. The largest package is a lunch box. In addition to sashimi, sushi, and tempura, there are also several things that I have never eaten before and that are not famous. My belly is not as big as that paper bag, so how can I bear it! On the contrary, it is mandarin oranges and some delicious snacks to go with wine, which are very delicious and can be enjoyed while watching wrestling. Of course, Japanese Xiangpu hands can eat better than us. When they take off their ceremonial robes and reveal their huge bodies, you can almost be sure that they have eaten it. In fact, every person who is determined to be a good person should eat constantly since he was a child to make him gain weight, because every time he adds one or two meat, he will gain one point of strength. Therefore, those who can stand up are giants as strong as bulls and as powerful as tigers. So, does it look good when giants fight each other? It’s evident from the enthusiastic support of the fans. But many times, only a few pushes are seen, and the opponent is thrown or twisted out of the circle. Even if he wins, it seems to be nothing to see. It is said that we were quite lucky and happened to see the most exciting one. It seemed that the two warriors had really tried their best. They struggled again and again, and faced stalemates again and again. Sometimes they were dangerous, and sometimes they were as steady as a mountain. They fought for six rounds, and then suddenly there was a burst of thunderous applause. The winner raised his hands and thanked the audience again and again, and finally the fierce fight ended. Each winner received a pack of banknotes on the spot. The number was unknown, but it was only known that it was a reward from the sponsor. Every contestant has at least one sponsor, and the more popular the contestant, the more. The flag team leading the heroes into the field is the representative of the sponsor. Each flag represents a family. It is majestic and spectacular. But it is not the samurai who wins the most, but the martial arts gym. As long as their players can win the overall championship, all the prizes prepared for the day's competition - countless delicacies, groceries, whole cattle or sheep, will be owned by the gym, and they will not have to buy food for at least a year. Then it's our turn as spectators. With your admission ticket before leaving, you can also receive a rich gift - a complete set of bowls and tea sets, enough for a family to eat candies and biscuits for two months. When I say that Xiangpu is related to eating, this is what I mean. Xiangpu hands have gained both fame and wealth by relying on their fat body, and now it’s time to give you a little bit back. On the other hand, I, a stranger, was rewarded for nothing, so I couldn't help but wonder. Next time I went to support O'Neal, could I make some money without queuing up to buy hot dogs during halftime? Because NBA generals basically eat them. O'Neal eats five meals a day, including at least six eggs for breakfast and large steaks for dinner. After Yao Ming joined the NBA, the first thing he did was to improve his diet and arrange dishes for each meal to make him fatter and stronger. A smile!
