Super Zoo

Although they are both world-famous boxing champions, Muhammad Ali is obviously different from boxing champions like Tyson and Joe Louis. The reason why ordinary boxing champions are famous is mainly because of their superb skills in boxing and their distinctive personal characteristics.

But Muhammad Ali became famous because he resisted the conscription of the US government and had a very famous saying.

‘I will never run thousands of miles away to murder the poor there. If I want to die, you are my enemy, and it has nothing to do with the Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese. I want freedom, but you don’t give it to me; I want justice, but you don’t give it to me... but you asked me to go somewhere else to fight for you... In the United States, you didn’t stand up to protect my rights and beliefs, and you can’t do this in your own country...’

So in the following decades, Ali was labeled with a lot of high-sounding labels such as ‘democracy fighter’, ‘Westerners who sympathize with the third world’, and ‘freedom fighter’.

No one knows what Ali himself thinks, just like Chinese language classes in China, students are always asked to summarize many ‘central ideas’ that even the author may not have thought of. Some of these labels may not be Ali’s true thoughts.

But it must be said that he is a very principled person.

Everyone has principles, but not many people are willing to pay the price for adhering to them.

Being a hero has its price. People like Batman who pick up girls and live in a big villa and save the world by chance are at best kind-hearted superpowers, and I am afraid they cannot be heroes. In order to stick to his principles, Ali paid a heavy price, so he was sentenced to prison and his boxing license was revoked.

Unlike boxing champions such as Tyson, Ali may never have really reached his peak competitive state in his life, and was banned when he was rising the fastest. A few years later, when he stepped onto the boxing ring again, although he still won many honors, he had already begun to decline.

According to statistics, most of Ali's defeats in his career were in the later period; after retiring, he suffered from Parkinson's syndrome. Doctors judged that the disease was directly related to repeated head hits. In his more than 20-year career, Ali suffered nearly 30,000 heavy blows to the head, most of which occurred after he returned to the boxing ring.

In Time magazine's list of 100 celebrities of the 20th century, Ali was ranked first in the category of heroes and idols.

Su Ming had seen the news online before the TV station broadcast the news.

Ali's news has been on the headlines these days, and Ali himself has almost become a myth. The numerous articles praising and remembering him have made people a little tired of it.

Occasionally, in a small corner, I found an interesting comparison: If China decided to send troops to attack Japan, Liu Xiang refused to serve in the military and stood up to say the same thing as Ali, what would be the difference in the result?

This analogy is not quite appropriate, but it can reflect many phenomena worth pondering.

Fortunately, as a lazy person whose brain is often not enough, Su Ming never thinks deeply about these issues, and he just laughs it off after reading it.

That day, when he saw the two little bears being dissatisfied with each other, Su Ming came up with an idea that could not only let the two little guys vent their excess energy, but also fit in with the current hot events and commemorate Ali.

…

Yangchuan TV station made a small advertisement for the zoo, and Ali happened to be quite famous in China. He had been directly received by Deng Lao. Less than an hour after the zoo opened the next day, the flow of people increased significantly compared to usual.

Some were curious tourists, while others were real Ali fans, holding large signs with Ali's portraits in their hands.

"Boxing match direction, enter from here!"

A small signpost was added to each fork in the zoo.

Seeing the words on the signpost, the tourists became a little confused.

They thought that the so-called "commemorative" activities of the zoo were assemblies, candles, and flowers, but no one expected that the zoo would actually hold a boxing match.

How could a zoo be qualified to hold a boxing match?

Some smarter tourists vaguely guessed that it might be a performance between animals, and there were gorilla boxing matches in the circus.

Following the signpost, tourists continued to walk from the small path and gathered outside the Bear Mountain.

"Huh? Look down!"

"Oh my god, what is this?"

Today's Xiongshan Mountain looks unchanged from the outside, but if you lie on the fence at the edge of Xiongshan Mountain, you will find that the inside of Xiongshan Mountain has undergone a slight transformation.

There is a large platform of several dozen square meters in the center. In the middle of the platform, there is a large circle with the word "武" written inside.

It is actually a martial arts arena.

"The world's number one martial arts competition?!"

Some fans of the Dragon Ball comics present at the scene saw at a glance that the prototype of this platform was the martial arts competition arena where masters from all walks of life compete for the world's number one in Dragon Ball.

"No, no! This is the God's Arena of the Eternal Island!"

Some other World of Warcraft fans immediately raised objections.

There are four statues more than one person tall at the four corners of the martial arts arena below. Although they were not carved very carefully in a hurry, they can still be identified as a white crane, a blue dragon, a white tiger, and a strange animal that looks like a yak.

"I feel it's more like Game of Thrones..." someone spoke weakly, because on one side of the 'competition arena' below, there was a tall podium with several people sitting on it, and behind the arena there was a row of battle flags fluttering in the wind.

The scene looked like a knight's tournament in the European Middle Ages.

"Ahem, cough, cough... Dear audience friends, dear tourists, dear children, dear friends..."

Su Ming sat on the podium and spoke into the microphone in front of him with a smile, and his voice suddenly sounded around Xiong Shan.

"Yangchuan City Zoo, the opening match of the first competitive competition has officially begun! Now, here are the two contestants who will participate in the competition today."

A burst of exciting music was played from the speakers at the right time.

A 'contestant' wore a big cloak, covering his whole body tightly, and entered the stage from one side of the competition stage.

As soon as he appeared like this, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Although it is blocked by the cloak and cannot see the true appearance of the contestant below, the way it walks is so funny, and its big and fat body twists and turns. It doesn’t look like a mighty warrior at all, but more like a fat married wife. .

"Hey, don't underestimate this player!" Su Ming acted as the commentator. He couldn't help but laugh while sitting on the stage. He said with a smile: "Now, I will bring you something from the Bamboo Forest in Sichuan. The hermit in the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, the fat yet agile warrior, the inheritor of China’s mysterious martial arts, Panda Yingying!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier under the cloak ripped off his cloak.
