Why did a Shaolin trip 20 years ago make Fabian unforgettable? [Music] What is the reason for Natalie to return to Shaolin Temple? Father's perseverance; daughter's tenacity. How does Shaolin Temple change a multinational family? Please continue watching my Shaolin story. [Music]
Natalie's father, Fabian, came to Shaolin Temple to learn kung fu 20 years ago. From then on, Fabian became attached to Shaolin Temple. He hoped that his children could also come to Shaolin Temple to learn Shaolin kung fu and Shaolin spirit. On the 20th anniversary of the day he left the Shaolin Temple, Fabian and his wife took their nine-year-old daughter, Natalie, to the Shaolin Temple to learn kung fu. Natalie's parents made her a one-week plan of learning kung fu at the Shaolin Temple.
Now, just after two days, Natalie suddenly says that she doesn't want to keep learning kung fu. After Shaolin's life is no longer fresh to Natalie, she starts to think that learning kung fu is boring and monotonous. The parents were anxious but decided to take their time with their nine-year-old daughter. [Music]
As Natalie didn't show up in the morning, during lunchtime, Master Yansen asks Xiu Zhongpang to go to ask Natalie what the matter is. [Music] Unexpectedly, after Xiujiangpang sees Natalie's camera, he completely forgets his master's words. [Music] It seems that Chu Thongpang has not forgotten his master's instruction. After the photo is taken, he starts to remind Natalie's mom to practice moves to help Natalie regain interest in kung fu. Then will Natalie successfully return to the team to be trained tomorrow? Finally, Natalie chooses to return to the team.
Although the mountain road to the Dharma Cave is winding and curving, rather precipitous, however, the focus of the training today is team spirit. Because of the rugged and rough mountain road, when they are running, the rest are running all the time with Natalie and Xiujian Peng. 20 years ago, this is where he meditates. He came to Shaolin Temple because the high intensity and fast-paced life in the United States often put a lot of pressure on him, and he felt that he needed to change his life. After he came to the Shaolin Temple, although his life and training were extremely hard, however, this period became the most important chapter of his life. [Applause]
It is not hard for Natalie to run to the Dharma Cave. She finishes the task with the rest of the team within 30 minutes. In the past days of training, the care and love of the team members for Natalie make her feel extremely warm. She has completely merged into this team. [Music] Measure. [Music]
The reason why her mother doesn't worry about her mountain climbing can be traced back to the days when Natalie was still a baby and already started to climb mountains and have adventures with her parents. This is a video clip taken in 2014 by her mother when she and her parents traveled in the Tibetan inhabited areas in Southern Gansu. The crying daughter was trying to accomplish a mission assigned by her dad on this steep slope; she would reach the end simply with a rope. [Music]
This is a video about Fabian, Natalie's father, who took her to ski back in Switzerland as an annual event. At three years old, Natalie started to learn skiing and receive speed training. Her father thinks that only by experiencing life in hardship can a child become more tenacious. Now, Natalie has been to over 20 countries and experienced many trials. However, Master Yonsen says that this afternoon she will have a true challenge to face. Would you do it? This challenge mentioned by Master Yan Senna is frog-like jumping upstairs and then crawling downstairs. The master asks them to go upward and downward for four rounds. To Natalie, this task is so hard. However, seeing how hard-working Shujong Pang, her junior fellow, is, Natalie has been keeping going. [Music]
After returning to the hotel at night, her mom is going to massage her to help relieve her fatigue. However, what her mother sees breaks her mother's heart. Um. [Music]
Today is the sixth day of Natalie's training at the Shaolin Temple. At 5 AM, she gets up early for running. For the first time, Natalie is changing unnoticeably. [Music] The children in the children's class are trained rather hard, especially her junior fellow; a newcomer can't help but weep sometimes. After the running in the morning, Natalie returns to the hotel to get refreshed and then hurries back to the Shaolin Temple because Master Yansen's lecture is about to start. [Music] Natalie, who has always been late, arrives rather early today at the training venue on the Ganlu Terrace. [Music] Huh. [Music]
Even if it is the last day of training, Master Yansen is still strict with Natalie as usual. Because of the limited time, Natalie just learns one-third of the moves of Xiao Hong Kwan. Although she has learned the moves, her moves are not standard. Xu Jong-peng naturally becomes her instructor to help her correct the mistakes; teaches rather professionally and seriously. Then, after repeated practice, will Natalie's moves be recognized by Master Yansen? [Music] Okay. [Music]
This time, Natalie indeed doesn't make any mistakes. Then how will her master, who has been strict, appraise her performance? Um. During the break, Natalie's mom introduces Shujong Pang to their house in Switzerland. Not only do they have a big forest of their own but also raise many cows on their farm. Fabian also has two older brothers and two sisters; their family lives a stable and easy life. Every year when Natalie's dad takes her back to their hometown in Switzerland, he will record the daily life of his daughter. [Music]
After the break, Master Yonsen continues to teach Natalie to practice Shia Hong Kwan. He hopes that tomorrow Natalie can perform Shia Hong Kwan perfectly to bring a conclusion to her training at Shaolin Temple. After Natalie makes a mistake again, her master doesn't punish her; instead, he asks her to hit him, but Natalie is unwilling to do so. [Music]
Natalie starts to ask questions actively, which makes her master very happy. Seeing that Natalie becomes interested, her master shows her an example with her dad to explain to her patiently the application of each move of the Xiao Hong Kwan into actual combat. Natalie is so concentrated. [Music]
Yes, Natalie is getting better now; her performance is better and better. After they leave the Ganlu Terrace, her master knows that tomorrow is the last day of her learning kung fu at the Shaolin Temple, so he has prepared a surprise for her. Natalie is so looking forward to it. Today is the last day for Natalie to learn kung fu at the Shaolin Temple. Master Yansen formally starts to check the result of Natalie's one-week learning; her moves are standard and almost perfect. As the last task is finished jointly by Natalie and her fellows, her master's surprise has come. [Music] [Music]
Good, so. [Music] [Music] [Applause] As the masters from the warrior monk team of the Shaolin Temple finish their brilliant performance, Natalie is about to say goodbye to her life at the Shaolin Temple. Today is the time for her to say goodbye to the others. Unexpectedly, when she shows up again in front of the others, she is dressed totally differently. [Music] [Applause] [Music]
One week of learning kung fu at the Shaolin Temple is short, but with sweat and tears, happiness and hardship, Natalie has experienced different tastes of life. [Music] Although she is still young, however, this memory, as it is to Fabian, her father, will be an interracial beautiful episode to her. [Music]
After saying goodbye to each other, Master Yansen asks his disciples to go back to keep practicing kung fu right away. However, there is one child who stays in a corner, lingering, unwilling to leave. [Music] Just now when Natalie sang the song, Shu Jong Pang had been silent with his head lowered. Indeed, after a week, not only has Natalie been changed because of this elder sister, but also Xu Jong Pang has become more lively, so the departure today seems so hard to Shu Jong Pang, a six-year-old child. [Music] Hello. [Music] [Music] [Music]
