Excessive Self-Defense?
If the "Knight" off-road vehicle is the favored son, then these two new models are definitely adopted. Even now, with the prototypes completed and testing finished, advertising shoots underway, and an imminent release, their names are still just code names. Chen Mo has even forgotten to name them!
Su Wan reminded Chen Mo of this, and after a moment's thought, Chen Mo quickly came up with an idea: since the first car was called "Knight," the next two cars should also maintain the same style.
The name "Knight" off-road vehicle is inspired by the world of Underworld, comparing the bulletproof off-road vehicle to a heavily armored Knight is invulnerable to swords and spears. Naturally, the unparalleled speed of the supercar must be related to speed.
The fastest vehicle Chen Mo had ever seen in the world of Underworld was his mount, "Thunder," so Chen Mo named that supercar "Thunder."
However, no one except himself knew that "Thunder" referred to a warhorse, not Thunder falling from the sky.
However, this does not affect its meaning at all; Thunder itself represents extraordinary speed.
As for the luxury car, Chen Mo named it "Lord," as a tribute to his life Lord in the world of Underworld.
Three days later, the "Lord" advertisement was filmed with An Ran's high efficiency. During this period, the influence of Chen Jingde's "Old Man Righteous Defense Homicide Case" case also grew, sparking heated discussions across the country. The vast majority of people believed that Chen Jingde was attacked by a thief with a knife while arresting him, and that his act of fighting back and killing the thief was an act of bravery and legitimate self-defense.
However, after news of Chen Jingde's status as a veteran of the Korean War and his later martial arts skills spread, some people argued that Chen Jingde was capable of subduing the assailant without killing him, and therefore his act of killing the assailant should be considered excessive self-defense.
Many lawyers, scholars, and ordinary citizens have participated in heated discussions surrounding this case. However, apart from whether it constitutes legitimate self-defense, more people are paying attention to Chen Jingde's martial arts skills.
Many people have heard of or even been exposed to traditional martial arts such as Tai Chi, Xingyi Quan, Wing Chun. However, whether in movies and television, in real life, or online, the masters they see are mostly relatively young martial artists. Bruce Lee, Ip Man, Wong Fei Hung, Huo Yuanjia, or some famous masters in real life are mostly middle-aged and young people in their prime. Even the older ones are mostly no more than seventy years old.
Reality is not a martial arts novel; there is no such thing as powerful internal energy or Internal Energy. A person's physical fitness will decline as they age.
Martial arts masters in their fifties and sixties can still defeat stronger opponents with their advanced skills, but by the time they reach their seventies, even if they are skilled, they cannot overcome the decline in strength. Therefore, most martial arts masters at this age no longer engage in formal combat, but instead cultivate their character and teach their disciples.
The videos of some masters in their eighties and nineties circulating online are mostly demonstrations of movements or skills such as push hands. Their movements are obviously very slow, and the speed and strength they display are clearly in line with their age.
However, the strength and speed that Chen Jingde displayed in the video when he captured the thief, dodged the dagger attack, and finally counterattacked and killed the enemy were far beyond those of ordinary people, and were in no way inferior to those of top special forces soldiers in their prime.
This was the first time people had ever witnessed an octogenarian display such incredible speed and strength.
What kind of kung fu does he practice that allows him to maintain such a strong physique at the age of eighty-four, while his face looks like he's in his seventies?
Besides Chen Jingde, who committed the murder, Chen Weiguo, who also participated in the attack in the video, has also received a great deal of attention in this incident.
If Chen Jingde's strength lay in his physical abilities beyond his years and his ruthless decisiveness in killing, then Chen Weiguo's strength lay entirely in his formidable fighting prowess!
Although he didn't kill anyone like Chen Jingde, his achievements and performance were actually more dazzling. Bare-handed, he single-handedly fought four knife-wielding thugs. Even some well-known Martial Arts Master in reality wouldn't be able to defeat them unscathed. Yet, Chen Weiguo swiftly and decisively knocked all four knife-wielding thugs to the ground in just over ten seconds. The whole process was brief, but the dodging, grappling, attacking, and subduing of the enemies were dazzling and astonishing!
This short, ten-second fight scene was far more exciting and realistic than any action movie fight. Countless people have replayed it countless times, and some have even edited it out and posted it online.
This 1 vs 4 video has gone viral among martial arts enthusiasts. Some people recognized that Chen Weiguo was using only the simplest military combat techniques, but no one believed that this was his real skill. People were more inclined to believe that he was unwilling to easily reveal his true skills in public, so he used military combat techniques to fight. This also shows that he did not use his full strength at the time!
Everyone speculated about just how strong Chen Weiguo was, and how strong Chen Jingde, Chen Weiguo's father, was, at the age of 84, yet his physical condition was stronger than that of young people and comparable to that of a top special forces Chen Jingde!
The debate surrounding the strength of Chen Jingde and his son, and whether Chen Jingde's actions constituted excessive self-defense and intentional homicide, has continued and intensified. Some experts have come forward to say that, judging from the strength displayed by Chen Jingde and his son, Chen Jingde could have easily subdued the "victim" after dodging his attacks, and there was absolutely no need for him to kill him so viciously. This constitutes intentional homicide and should be treated as excessive self-defense.
Of course, most people sided with Chen Jingde, and one lawyer stood up to refute the "expert's" remarks.
"Self-defense is divided into general self-defense and special self-defense based on the severity of the unlawful infringement. Under normal circumstances, when we encounter crimes and illegal acts, we need to maintain a necessary limit when exercising self-defense. If we exceed this limit, it is considered excessive self-defense. However, if we encounter ongoing acts of violence such as assault, murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping, or other serious violent crimes that endanger personal safety, then the defensive behavior we take is considered special self-defense. There is no need to restrict it, and there is no issue of excessive self-defense."
