The People

Chapter 3 analyzes the figure of the soldier. It examines the positive structures of feelings of honor and bravery that were associated with this figure during the Maoist era, which emphasized the army’s spirit of “serving the people” and the benevolent protection of the state, and argues that the absence of this lauded figure serves as a potent reminder of the disappearance of these noble qualities and feelings in contemporary society. It then examines the figure’s “appearance” in simulacra in the films – the police officers, security guards, and entertainers who dress up as soldiers – and argues that these imitation and substitute figures are degraded in the films, thus emphasizing the loss of these noble Maoist qualities in the Reform era. It concludes by analyzing the soldier wuxia (martial arts) hero in A Touch of Sin, arguing that this heroic, vengeful figure symbolizes the immediate need to address social and economic disparity, and heralds a shift in Jia’s oeuvre from mourning the demise of the Maoist classes to demanding redress for their plight.

The Impact

The activities of law enforcement officers are characterized by significant psycho-emotional and physical stress. Therefore, a high level of physical preparedness and psychophysiological characteristics are an important component in the structure of preparedness of cadets in higher education institutions with specific training conditions that train police officers. Research aimed at finding of effective ways of their improvement is relevant. Experts note the importance of studying the impact of different sports on the preparedness of cadets. We conducted a study of the indicators of the preparedness of the cadets who during the year of study were engaged in the program "Special Physical Training" without attending sectional classes. We compared their results with the results of the cadets who trained in the kickboxing section. The results show that the traditional curriculum of the discipline "Special Physical Training" effectively contributes to the improvement of the physical preparedness (endurance, muscle strength). The process of the improving of the psychophysiological characteristics (simple reaction to sound and visual stimuli, choice reaction, reaction to a moving object) in the educational process of "Special Physical Training" needs to be optimized. Sectional martial arts (kickboxing) classes are an effective means of extracurricular activities of the cadets. They help to increase their physical fitness and psychophysiological characteristics.

Common Parlance

Modern budo master Fumon Tanaka demonstrates that the spirit of the old samurai Bushido code has survived to this day. Martial arts have become part of culture, and they are perceived with the reverence befitting science. He also reminds us that the beauty of being a warrior lies in the constant readiness to make the greatest of sacrifices. In common parlance, however, there is no difference between how martial arts are taught to students, how combat sports are taught to athletes and how police officers and soldiers are taught close quarters combat, as well as there being no difference in results between these types of training.
