    The genuine interest in unconventional/unconsidered strengths that you show and subsequently create in your audience is truly something you can be proud of. I love seeing the aspects of training people generally don't consider, such as designated moments of peace being just as integral to training as the lifting or technique.

    The most inspiring thing I find in this journey is the Tea ceremony Lu Xiaojun uses before training.. it's a time of meditation, it helps the mind focus and be present.. it gives meaning to the whole adventure.. and prepares the body and mind to overcome the hardships ahead.. everyone needs to incorporate a similar daily ritual before training.. whether it is a walk, a talk over the phone with a loved one, some writing on the personal notebook.. or a tea ceremony..
    I love it!

    The finger tap to acknowledge tea or to say thank you or enough. From what I was told in Taiwan . It starts with Emperor Qian Long
    The legion is that Emperor Long used to travel among the citizens in disguise to get a feel of how everyday people were living. One time he went to a restaurant with one of his servants and actually poured his servant a cup of tea (which is unheard of for an Emperor at that time.) The servant had to show he was grateful but didn’t want to do a customary bow since it would blow the Emperor's cover, so he tapped his fingers on the table to show the Emperor that he was grateful.

    "The true value of his weightlifting achievements doesn't reside in personal fulfillment. His joy stems from the ability to provide for his family to uproot them from their Village Life And to offer them a better existence."
    To me, that is more admirable than just competing to be the best. It's similar to what NBA MVP Nikola Jokic once said, "Basketball is not the main thing in my life and never will be."
    It just goes to show there's more important things in life than the glory of sports.

    This is hands down one of the best journalism series ever and if you posted every second of footage I would watch it
