Republic of China era: Actor? Please call me Martial Arts Master!

In 1931, in Tianqiao, Beiping, a gloomy, snowy night reigned. Warlords fought amongst themselves, the world of opera was in turmoil, and human life was cheap. That year, Lu Cheng was the dull, unresponsive martial arts actor in the Qingyun troupe, a poor soul whose hair had turned white from worrying about getting medicine for his mother. In this chaotic world, actors were considered the lowest of the low; to avoid begging, one needed either power or martial arts skills. It was on the winter solstice of that year that, amidst the drumbeats of "The Snow-Covered Mountain Temple," he gripped his white wax spear, and a line of ancient characters appeared before his eyes: 【Current Performance: Lin Chong's Night Flight】【Rating: Superior. Reward: Ten Years of External Martial Arts Skill!】 As long as you act, you can understand. As long as you immerse yourself in the role, you become a master! From then on, Beijing lost a dull, lifeless extra and gained a martial arts legend who entered the world through opera. From the Six Harmonies Spear in "The Snow-Covered Mountain Temple" to tearing apart a tiger and leopard in "Wu Song Fights the Tiger." From the sheer power of "Picking the Slippery Cart" to the overwhelming might of "Havoc in Heaven," years later, when Tianjin gangs bowed in submission, when Japanese ronin broke samurai swords, and when foreign warships sailed away from Tianjin port, Lu Cheng not only upheld the reputation of the Qingyun Troupe but also clung to the crumbling backbone of this national martial arts tradition. "In my life, Lu Cheng, I've performed countless tales of joy and sorrow on stage, and fought my way through the world off stage. Whether you're a warlord or a foreigner, that's your show. This Beiping has to listen to me!"
