Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

Li Huai-ren suddenly proposed to purchase light industrial products from the mainland and sell them to Southeast Asia and even Europe and the United States. This matter was quite significant, and General Manager Ye dared not delay. He immediately bid farewell to Li Huai-ren and Zhang Guorong and rushed back to Mourun Company to report to his superiors.

After he left, Leslie Cheung immediately said to Li Huai-ren:

"Ah Ren, given the current situation, if you purchase light industrial products from the mainland and sell them to Southeast Asian countries, and the foreigners find out, it will be disastrous, even for you..."

Li Huai-ren waved his hand, interrupting him:

"No problem! Ten, I'll have Phoenix Hardware & Plastics Factory register the trademarks for all these products, then purchase them from a certain Run Company as semi-finished products, change the packaging and trademarks to Phoenix Hardware & Plastics Factory's, and make them originate in Hong Kong. The design, packaging, trademarks, patents, etc., will all belong to Phoenix Hardware & Plastics Factory..."

He briefly explained to Leslie Cheung the practice that many factories in China used to circumvent trade barriers between China and the United States by setting up factories (actually packaging workshops, with all parts produced domestically and then exported locally) in Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Mexico to change the place of production.

Li Huai-ren wanted to talk to him about OEM manufacturing and such, but seeing that he had no interest at all, he had no choice but to give up.

It was already close to noon, so Li Huai-ren decided to have lunch with Leslie Cheung at Hung Fook Restaurant. He called over a waiter and ordered several dishes that Leslie Cheung liked.

As soon as the waiter left, Leslie Cheung asked Li Huai-ren curiously:

"Ah Ren, did you really learn some martial arts from the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huai-ren was taken aback, then a thought struck him:

"My so-called master, who doesn't acknowledge me as his master, seems incredibly powerful. Perhaps taking Leslie Cheung to meet him might yield unexpected results. If there were any way to make Leslie Cheung a little more cheerful and manly, that would be wonderful!"

He then extended his right arm, bent it, and flexed his muscular physique to show Leslie Cheung, saying:

"Of course, you know what I looked like before. If I hadn't practiced the martial arts he taught me, how could I have become like this?"

Seeing the look of envy in Leslie Cheung's eyes, Li Huai-ren immediately said:

"Without Master Zhang Quanyi's consent, I cannot pass on the kung fu he taught me to you."

After dinner, I'll take you to meet him and see if you have the chance to learn a trick or two from him.

Which young person doesn't dream of martial arts skills or becoming a chivalrous hero?

Upon hearing this, Leslie Cheung was overjoyed and couldn't wait to see Master Zhang Quanyi. After the waiter served all the dishes, he immediately wolfed them down, and Li Huai-ren couldn't persuade him otherwise.

At the Chen Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic at the foot of Bijia Mountain, the old Taoist priest Zhang Quanyi glanced at Leslie Cheung, who had been brought by Li Huai-ren, paused for a moment, and then pondered:

"Chen Yu-lien, Kwan Chia-hui, Teresa Teng, and Brigitte Lin have already had their destinies altered by Li Huai-ren, and today another one has joined the list!"

He looked up and scrutinized Leslie Cheung again, then made a mental calculation with his right hand hidden in the sleeve of his Taoist robe, and a surge of anger welled up inside him:

"It was you Thai monk who caused all this trouble again. Luckily, his fate has been changed. Otherwise, in another ten years or so, you would have instigated him to be bisexual and only interested in homosexuality, eventually leading to his suicide by jumping off a building!"

How audacious! He actually colluded with foreign demons, accelerating the decline of Hong Kong's Hollywood of the East. Young and incompetent, yet he dares to call himself the White Dragon…

With a wicked heart, he's learned a little bit of Taoism, but now he's disguised as a Thai Buddhist to swindle, cheat, and murder for money? This humble Taoist will not allow it!

It seems I must make a trip to Thailand before returning to Longhu Mountain…”

Seeing Leslie Cheung staring at him expectantly, Master Zhang Quanyi had already made up his mind. He smiled and said:

"Since you are Huai Ren's good brother, then stay by my side for the next few days. I will teach you a set of health-preserving exercises, a couple of sets of fist and foot techniques, and explain the Dao to you."

Like Huai Ren, you don't need to become my disciple. However, forty years from now, if you have seen through the illusions of the world, I will allow you to come to Longhu Mountain as my nominal disciple and cultivate in seclusion!

Leslie Cheung was overjoyed! He was delighted that he could learn martial arts from Zhang Quan, just like Li Huai Ren.

Li Huai-ren was overjoyed. He was observant and understood what Zhang Quanyi said. He clearly heard what Zhang Quanyi said: forty years later, if Leslie Cheung saw through the illusions of the world, he could go to Longhu Mountain for quiet cultivation as Zhang Quanyi's disciple!

Forty years later, it was the 2010s, long past April Fool's Day 2003!

After that day, for the entire Christmas and New Year holiday plus ten more days, a full half month, Leslie Cheung stayed by Master Cheung Chuen Yi's side the whole time, except for eating, drinking, relieving himself, bathing, and sleeping.

Master Zhang Quanyi passed on to him a set of pure yang health-preserving exercises—the Red Yang Nourishing Yuan Exercise. The main function of this exercise is to increase the body's yang energy and yang essence.

Besides prolonging life, its greatest benefit is that men who practice this exercise become very manly. In other words, people who practice this health-preserving exercise are very difficult to be turned gay.

Master Zhang Quan also passed on to Leslie Cheung the biomimetic boxing and the life-saving escape footwork, Yu Bu Qi Xing Zhuang, which Li Huai Ren was practicing.

During these two weeks, Master Zhang Quanyi also frequently lectured Leslie Cheung on Taoism, discussing the Tao Te Ching's "Man follows the Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows Nature," the teacher's role in following Nature, the relationship between Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher, human relations, and the joys of family life...

Before returning to England, Leslie Cheung finally resolved the knot in his heart that had been accumulating for two years. He took the initiative to go home and reconcile with his father.

Meanwhile, Li Huai-ren was also busy. While Leslie Cheung was learning martial arts and Taoist teachings from Master Zhang Quanyi, Li Huai-ren was busy holding year-end summary meetings at his various companies to summarize the gains and losses of the past year, approve the year-end bonus distribution plan, and formulate development plans for next year.

On January 3, 1971, Mr. Ye, the general manager of a certain company, invited Li Huai-ren to have morning tea at Hongfu Restaurant, and Li Huai-ren gladly accepted the invitation.

Upon returning, he informed Qiao Wu that the matter of providing long-term supplies of Huangjing (Polygonatum sibiricum), yam, and other materials to Taoist holy sites such as Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, and Wudang Mountain had been resolved.

The first batch of 1 jin of Polygonatum and yam will be delivered to Longhu Mountain on January 5th, and another 1 jin of Polygonatum and yam will be delivered to Wudang Mountain on January 7th...

On January 9, the day before Leslie Cheung was to return to England, Bruce Lee finally accepted the invitation from Phoenix TV and Phoenix Film Company and flew back to Hong Kong after many years.

The next morning, Li Huai-ren and Leslie Cheung got up early, ate a few bites of breakfast, and then hurriedly headed to Kai Tak Airport.

On the way to Kai Tak Airport, Leslie Cheung leaned against the car window in silence.

At this time, it was just dawn, and the breakfast vendors had just set up their stalls. It was quiet both inside and outside the vehicles.

Twenty minutes later, Li Huai-ren's car turned onto To Kwa Wan Road. Suddenly, a large "egg yolk" jumped out from the distant sea, its light instantly turning Leslie Cheung and Li Huai-ren in the car yellow, turning To Kwa Wan Road yellow, turning Kowloon Island yellow, and turning Hong Kong yellow!

Everything in sight was gilded, its light soft, its color vibrant, its beauty breathtaking, like a painting.

In the blink of an eye, the gold faded, and the world was restored to its original bright sunlight.

Leslie Cheung stared blankly at the large "egg yolk" until it completely disappeared and returned to its original shape. He could no longer look at it directly, and finally let out a long sigh, calmly saying:

"I went back to England to settle things there and then came back to Hong Kong to study music and singing."

Tell Third Aunt to save my room for me; I'll be back for Chinese New Year this year!
