Q&A – What About My Sifu?
Rene Ritchie, March 8th, 2008
I am quite certain my sifu is the most awesome of all sifu’s, yet I never see him mentioned on the message boards. Are people really unaware of my sifu’s supreme awesomeness?
Yes, but don’t let it stress you.
Everyone loves their sifu and loves to see their sifu acknowledged and loved by others. Only natural. And everyone thinks their sifu is the bee’s knees, Yip Man’s nephew or son or first or last or super special, or Sum Nung’s son or uncle or teacher’s son, or best technician or fighter or whatever, or inside the Fung family, or inheritor of the Cho legacy, and it goes on and on.
And hey, maybe there’s a little ancient man in Chinatown repairing bikes who never says a word but was the last student of 400 year old Ng Mui?
The internet is the biggest sea there is, and even the largest blue whale has plenty of room to swim around.Best to just read, share, exchange, learn, relax, and ride them waves.
I’m beginning to see the internet as the last lively frontier where untold legions of Ninja Mutant Teenager Turtles gather for the neverending all-out turf war. It’s all good tonic for bored and timid souls craving for more juicy gossips, excitement, and blood to spice up their lackluster day. =)
I guess you need some inspiration for your own fantasy world, eh Paul? Remmber this?
“I just want to apologize for channeling your thread into another outlet of my WCtoon creativity. If you like, I request Rene to ax my unsolicited part into another thread titled WCnada!” PaulH
Turf Wars are so ‘eighties’! It’s all well and good sitting back and watching your own family fight and bicker, but why not be a little different and see the unification, not the separation…
Ha! Ha! I’m mildly surprised that you even read “Wingchunnada”. Regarding unification, it is an appealing and even noble idea, but practically unachievable in our time. Perhaps it could be realized at a later time when there is a dire need for it, and the geo-political conditions are more favorable. For now, I believe more in promoting good wills to all like-minded and big-hearted folks across different WC branches. The fellowship of kindred souls may eventually blossom into something bigger…Who know? =)
Wouldn’t that be something to be proud of?
Maybe it’s happening already, and the web just senses the tremors of change…
