The old man style prose

Probably one day in October last year, slipped to the East Lake Square, see the front of the performance stage surrounded by a small semi-circular screen, but also set up the sound, there is a literary work like a person in the guidance. The crowd has well-informed said to be engaged in square dance competitions.

I also wandered around the stage for a while, I inadvertently saw the back corner of the stage there is a tall figure of the old man in the play gyro, attracted my attention, so, went over to talk to him. Gyro in our countryside called leather mouse, is a child to play, I played when I was a child, is a very good 'sport.

"Older brother, how to think of playing this?" I asked.

"Heh, the original body is not good, my son told me to play this, said exercise."

"How long have you been practicing, is it good?"

"Good ah. Once practiced is three years, now what disease is not."

This old man surnamed Wang, is Nanfeng Township people. Three years ago, the body is very bad, there are a lot of problems. Son to buy a gyro, want him to play with the uncle gyro. It turns out that Wang has a younger brother, is driving a tractor old driver, his two sons are working in Beijing, often to Beijing to live on a period of time. Because the old people in Beijing love to play with bamboo and gyroscopes, he also learned to follow.

As we were chatting, an old man wearing a very stylish black and red lab coat, slightly thin, looked particularly competent, carrying a bulging bag, walked lightly. Wang pointed at the old man and said

"My old brother. He has a big gyro that weighs four pounds, and one with a stereo, and a firecracker, so he's good at it." I think I've seen it in a movie, and I have some memory of it. So I said, "Master Wang, please play with the bamboo, right?"

"Well, okay." Master Wang particularly cheerful personality, immediately opened the big bag, which has a large and small gyro, different varieties of empty bamboo. Next to an insert bag, inserted two wire rods, and a leather whip a chain whip. He took out a two-wheeled air bamboo to play open.

This is the blue double-wheeled air bamboo, small bowl size, may not be made of bamboo and wood. Because of the wheel around the whistle hole, spinning up, whistle is very loud, like a flock of pigeons in flight. I then took out my cell phone to shoot video. I saw Master Wang holding the wire rod in both hands, up and down, pulling, shaking, disk, throwing, receiving, waist with the hands turn, feet with the waist movement, the bamboo holding the eyes, eyes and commanding the head and neck activities, really body like a dragon, eyes like a shooting star, feet are swallows copying the water like a light spirit. I really enjoyed watching it! I thought - this is the style of the modern old man!

Bamboo is a traditional recreational activity in old Beijing, can be practiced alone, can be practiced by many people. Don't want any venues, streets and alleys can be, very convenient. By lifting and pulling the disk shaking and throwing, you can play a variety of patterns, it is said that there are hundreds of kinds of more, so that people's joints, ligaments, muscles, waist to get exercise, can improve sensitivity, slow down the aging process, to prevent Alzheimer's disease. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a pair of shoes or boots, and then you'll be able to get your hands on a pair of shoes or boots.

Later, Master Wang took out the porcelain teacup cover as a single round of karate play, heh, really have two - we know that the specific gravity of the teacup cover and gaiti, too much of a difference, almost negligible, can actually line hanging gaiti, the teacup cover side stand to rotate up, do not fall down! Magical! Wang introduced at the side, he practiced this is really not easy, beforehand in the ground on the thick cotton wool, to prevent falling through the teacup lid. It took him a while to get it right.

Finally, Master Wang also played four pounds of gyro, the whip is an iron chain, the big gyro whip up, the big gyro flashing red and green aperture, sounding a pleasant whistle, giving people a sense of comfort and wonderful feeling, is really a kind of enjoyment.

Master Wang said he came to the county for a few years, driving some of the elderly friends, but also played the gyro and the empty bamboo. He also said that the airbags are the evolution of the gyro, it is a twin brother, play can be adjusted to each other. Yes, the air bamboo on other sports is not a good auxiliary movement. I am practicing a bit of Taiji, Bagua, if you learn to shake bamboo, that body, that spirit is certainly good!

I hope that Master Wang in our county, organizing a group of shaking the air-cricket, driving more elderly friends to play together. The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't want to be a part of it, but I want to be a part of it. Friends, action, live out of the old man a style to!
