China is a separate world and becoming even more distant. This is especially true with the internet. Wechat 微信 is part of China’s social media and a very good example. Their information ecosystem, heavily monitored and censored by the government, is often smartphone ecosystem, and not web site based. I occasionally monitor Chinese social media and often read some of their articles.
While the content can be very good, for fitness articles they almost always use white models. I find this very strange. There are more than enough jacked Chinese guys and beautiful Chinese women in Asia. The photos also have no sources.
健身去吧 Go Do Fitness

改变的地方非常多，懂得往正确的方向去努力就会有收获。当然这句话在健身以外的很多场合也都是对的。以下说说可能是只有健身才给我的感受和改变。
收获 shou1huo4 reward
场合 chang3he2 occasion
There are a lot of changes, and if you work hard in the right direction, you will gain something. Of course, this sentence is true on many occasions other than fitness. The following may be the feelings and changes that only give me fitness.
首先是自信心的变化。我喜欢看书，健身前别人给我的评价一般是文弱书生，也有会说话的讲我很秀气。但其实我是信心不足的。然而举铁确实会在这方面给你很大的变化，20KG很重？拼了吃奶的劲举起来，哎，我居然做到了；40KG？哎，只要努力，我还是做得到。100KG？以前看起来绝无可能发生在我身上的，然而……我清楚的记得自己第一次硬拉提起曾经想都不敢想的100KG时，是什么感受。这对你的自信心绝对有极大的帮助。
自信心 zi4xin4xin1 senf-confidence
评价 ping2jia4 evaluation
文弱 wen2ruo4 weak
秀气 xiu4qi4 delicate
绝无 jue2wu3 absolutely nothing
The first is the change in self-confidence. I like to read books. The evaluations that others give me before fitness are generally weak scholars, and there are talkers who say that I am very handsome. But in fact I am not confident. However, lifting iron does give you a lot of changes in this area. 20KG is heavy? Lifted up to eat milk, hey, I actually did it; 40KG? Hey, as long as I work hard, I can do it. 100KG? It never seemed to happen to me before, but … I clearly remember how I felt when I first lifted the 100KG that I never thought of. This will definitely help your self-confidence.

体态的变化。曾经驼背圆肩，走路不自觉的弯腰。我家里人曾说我画画当中的人物“尖嘴猴腮，跟你似的”。哈哈~善意的提醒。总之现在脸是有弧度的，肩膀是正的，腰是直的，背是挺的，没有刻意，很自然的。变化最大的一年不在家里，那年过年回家，妈妈当我小孩来叫我起床，我穿着背心，窗户光洒进来，妈就这样看着我从被窝里坐起来，然后欣慰的笑了下，说“这胸肌是漂亮”。老婆以前睡觉撒娇枕我胸口上，过一会就移开了，说骨头太硌。现在反正有时候就伸手过来摸两把，也挺有趣的。
体态 ti2tai4 posture
驼背圆肩 tou2bei4 yuan2jian1 hump back round shoulders
弯腰 wan1yao1 stooped
提醒 ti2xing3 reminder
刻意 ke4yi4 deliberate
欣慰 xin1wei4 pleased
伸手 shen1shou3 reach out
Changes in posture. I used to hump back with round shoulders and bend unconsciously while walking. People in my family once said that the characters in my paintings are “pointed monkey cheeks, like you”. Haha ~ A kind reminder. In short, the face is now curved, the shoulders are straight, the waist is straight, and the back is straight. It is not intentional and very natural. The year that changed the most was not at home. In that year, I went home during the Chinese New Year. My mother called me to get up when I was a kid. I wore a vest and the window light spilled in. My mother watched me sit up from the bed and smiled with relief. Say, “This pectoral muscle is beautiful.” My wife used to sleep and cuddled on my chest. After a while, she moved away and said that her bones were too stingy. Now anyway, sometimes it ’s fun to reach out and touch two.
我印象最深刻的其实是十多年前了，当时我真是瘦得像猴子似的，有回白天歪躺在床上，头在床尾，扭头就看见对面柜子玻璃上映出的倒影，我胸腔那两排肋骨，一根根的突出来，当时我就想到历史课本里描述万恶旧社会的绘画。现在么~嘿。
深刻 shen1ke4 profound
扭头 niu3tou2 turn around
肋骨 lei4gu3 rib cage
描述万恶 miao2shu4wan4’e4 describe all evil
绘画 hui4hua4 painting
I was most impressed more than ten years ago. At that time, I was really skinny like a monkey. When I was lying on the bed crooked during the daytime, with my head at the end of the bed, I turned to see the reflection on the glass of the opposite cabinet. Ribs, protruding one by one, at that time I thought of the paintings in the history textbooks depicting the old society of all evil. What now ~ Hey.
思考问题方式的变化。健身和很多与修行有关的事情一样，会改变你思考问题的方式，和读书绘画什么的可能是一个道理。以往遇到问题，我会思考如何避开它，现在的思路里多了一个选项，往前走，撞开它。
避开 bi4kai1 avoid it
修行 xiu2xing2 practice
选项 xuan3xiang4 option
撞开 zhuang4kai1 smash it
Changes in the way you think about problems. Fitness, like many things related to practice, will change the way you think about problems, and it may be a matter of reading and painting. In the past, when I encountered a problem, I would think about how to avoid it. Now I have an option in my thinking. Go forward and bump it.
当然也并不是说所有问题都可以撞开，而是多了这样一个选项这样。经常举铁你就会懂得，什么问题可以撞得开，什么问题，别让他撞伤你。
以上只是指抽象的问题，而具体到挤公车（虽然现在不挤了）上下电梯之类的，这类问题以前简直是横在面前的大山，挤不上了怎么办……只能等下一班。现在呢，抱歉啊各位，稍微挤……一……下……呼，上来了。
撞伤 zhuang4shang1 bruise
抽象 chou1xiang4 abstract
具体 ju4ti3 specific
挤 ji2 squeeze
抱歉 bao4qian4 sorry
Of course, this is not to say that all problems can be broken, but that there is such an option. If you lift the iron often, you will understand what problems can hit you and what problems, don’t let him hit you.
The above only refers to the abstract problem, and specifically to crowd the bus (although it is not crowded now) to get up and down the elevator. This kind of problem was just a mountain in front of me. What can I do if I ca n’t squeeze it … I can only wait for the next one. class. Now, I’m sorry, everyone, it’s a little crowded … one … next … Huh, come up
这方面还有一个变化就是开始喜欢有点刺激的东西，以往不会尝试的，比如蹦极，摩托车，野外旅行等等，现在都会觉得，哎哟，有点意思哦。
刺激 ci4ji4 stimulate, irritate, motivate
尝试 chang2shi4 try
蹦极 beng4ji2 bungee jumping
Another change in this regard is that I started to like something that was a little irritating. I would n’t try it in the past, such as bungee jumping, motorcycles, field trips, etc. Now I will think, oh, a little interesting.
人际关系。以前，和朋友出去玩吧，朋友看着我为难的说，玩什么呢？我们去网吧？有回一块打个篮球，结果我拍着球走着走着，滑倒了……踢个足球吧，当守门员（嘛，其实我当年守得也算不错），最后大喘气，不行了，要虚脱了。好吧，还是去网吧打游戏吧。现在呢，虽然年龄摆在这，不再踢球打球了，也可以一起沿公园走走，遇到双杆，还有全民健身之类的小玩具，也能玩到一块。一起撑撑杆，聊聊天，比在网吧有意思太多。工作上的人际关系，也没什么问题，坐在座位上，不用怎么刻意，身体就能把衬衫撑起来，很自然的坐得端端正正，谈吐简洁有力，不管怎样都是精力满满的感觉。健身当然不是万能灵药。但今天发生的一件事让我还是挺有感慨的。

感慨 gan3kai3 feeling
Interpersonal relationships. Before, go out and play with friends. Friends looked at me in embarrassment and said, what to play? Let’s go to the Internet cafe? One time I played basketball, but I patted the ball and walked and slipped … play a football and be a goalkeeper (well, I actually did a good job in that year), and finally panted, no more, to Collapsed. Well, let’s go to the internet cafe to play games. Now, although the age is here, no longer playing football, you can also walk along the park together, encounter double poles, and small toys such as national fitness, can also play a piece. Staying together and chatting is much more fun than in an Internet cafe. Interpersonal relationships at work are no problem. Sitting in the seat, the body can support the shirt without much effort. It is natural to sit upright, talk concisely and powerfully, and feel energetic no matter what. Fitness is certainly not a panacea. But one thing that happened today made me quite emotional.
下楼，出电梯，拿着手机在看没怎么注意，然后就感觉肩膀和什么人碰了一下，然后就听见砰的一声什么人撞到门上的声音，回头一看，一位比我高一头的哥们，正低头进电梯……
嘛，先下后上的道理……算了不说这个。
我是想说，换作以前，撞到门上的那个一定是我，而且这事还发生过。当年好像是挤公交，以为下来的乘客都下完了，往上去，然后刚好下来一位小哥，撞他身上，然后我就跌跌撞撞……哈哈。
总之……今天只是手机被撞得晃了一下，不过也马上就拿住了就是。

Go downstairs, get out of the elevator, hold the mobile phone and notice that I didn’t pay much attention, then I felt someone touch my shoulder with someone, and then I heard a popping sound of someone hitting the door. Looking back, a taller person than me One buddy, looking down into the elevator …
Well, the principle of going up and down … forget it.

I mean, before that, it must be me who hit the door, and it happened. At that time, it seemed to be crowding the bus, thinking that all the passengers who got down had finished, went up, and then just came down a little brother, hit him, and then I stumbled … haha.
In short … Today, the mobile phone was bumped a bit, but I immediately held it.
经的同学还在比拼谁酒量好，谁打牌打麻将赢的多，谁撸啊撸玩的牛逼。
健身圈的朋友则是比拼谁练的更刻苦，谁手上茧子多，谁吃的更营养健康，谁练的更好，谁懂的知识更多。
曾经班里帅气的同学早已经变得大腹便便，让人认不出来。
自己则早已经不知不觉间从超级排骨男变成了小小肌肉男。
或许曾经他们比我们英俊帅气，但堕落的生活早已夺走了他们的青春与活力。
而健身的我们，却是越活越年轻。

堕落 duo4luo4 degenerate
夺 duo2 snatch
The classmates who are still competing are those who drink a lot, who plays cards and mahjong wins more, and who is awesome.
The friends in the fitness circle are harder than those who practice, who have more cocoons, who eat more nutritious and healthy, who practice better, and who knows more.
The handsome classmates in the class had already become pot-bellied and unrecognizable.
He had already unknowingly changed from a super rib man to a small muscle man.
Maybe they were handsomer and handsomer than us, but the degenerate life has already taken away their youth and vitality.
The fitness we are, the more we live the younger.
而这一切的变化，仅仅只是不到10年。
不能说他们天天胡吃海喝有什么错，毕竟大腹便便者满大街都是，他们并没有多么扎眼，他们也没有多么在意。
那是他们的选择。
但每当看到健身圈朋友即使时间特别紧张都要每天早起晨练的时候；
无论多么忙都要准备出第二天健康饮食，追求高质量生活的时候；
虽只是健身爱好者，却积极的报各种健身培训班学习健身知识的时候。
仅仅 jin3jin3 only
胡吃海喝 hu2shuo1hai3he1 make a pig of oneself
毕竟 bi4jing4 after all
扎眼 zha3yan3 garish
在意 zai4yi4 care
每当 mei3dang1 whenever
即使 ji2shi3 even if
饮食 yin3shi3 diet
积极 ji1ji2 positive, active, vigorous
培训 pei2xun4 training
And all this has changed in just less than 10 years.
We can’t say that they have nothing wrong with eating the sea and drinking every day. After all, the big-bellied stools are full of streets. They are not so eye-catching and they do not care much.
That was their choice.
But whenever I see my friends in the fitness circle, I have to get up early and do morning exercises every day, even if the time is particularly tight;
No matter how busy you are, prepare for a healthy diet the next day and pursue a high quality life;
Although they are just fitness enthusiasts, they actively report to various fitness training classes to learn fitness knowledge.
才发现，打动我们的
并不是健硕的胸大肌，不是刀刻般的6块腹肌，不是麒麟臂，不是公狗腰，不是马甲线，不是蜜桃臀……
而是他们积极向上的生活态度！
如果没见过太阳，我本可以忍受黑暗。
打动 da3dong4 move
健硕 jian4shuo4 strong
胸大肌 xiong1da4ji1 pectoralis major
臀 tun1 hips
Only to discover that what moved us
Not a strong pectoralis major, not a knife-shaped 6-pack abs, not a unicorn arm, not a male dog waist, not a vest line, not a peach hip …
It is their positive attitude towards life!
If I had never seen the sun, I could have endured darkness.
