Beginning, China mainland movie: Shaolin Temple


So this is the first content that I write for this blog...

I like movie and TV show, and I watched lots of them of course... However, people out of Asia might not have watched that many of Asian movies or TV shows, since not all get translated in the language that they can understand..

So this idea came to my mind, to write the stories I watched from movies and TV shows of Asia, especailly Chinese and Korean, I also watched bit Japanese and Indian ones, little by little I'll write them in this blog...

I'm gonna begin with the first movie I watched in cinema, named as "Shaolin Si", which means Shaolin Temple... It's a Hongkong movie, played by the famous kungfu actor named as Jet Lee, who might also have fame in Hollywood...

In the end of Sui Dynasty of ancient China, many people came to rob the power to control the country, one general led his army drove away the present king, made himself king of the country, changed name of the country into "Zheng", this Zheng king was very strict to the citizens, people were living in hard lives...

One Kungfu master named as "Shen Tui Zhang" (means apotheosis leg Zhang) and his son "Xiao Hu" got caught by the government to work, they couldn't bear the torture, started revolting, but Shen Tui Zhang was killed by one official named "Wang Renze", before his death he held Wang Renze by his legs, gave Xiaohu chance to escape... Xiaohu was also injured deeply, but fortunately got saved by one monk named Tanzong from Shaolin Temple, who had also been tortured by the government, and his daughter was living around the temple by browsing sheeps...

Xiaohu was kept in backyard of the temple, to treat his injury, and got better day by day... One day, Xiaohu happenly found Tanzong was practising Kungfu with other 11 monks with sticks in hands, he got surprised by his excellent Kungfu power, asked him to accept him as his pupil. After permission of the big abbot of the temple, Xiaohu had all his hair cut, became a little monk, given buddhist name was "Jueyuan"...

To be continued...
