Overnight rain has washed the streets clean of the brown pollen from a few days ago. Some early morning forms at Westlake and we met Teacher Liu at the hotel. Kevin Hu was there to help us communicate with Teacher Liu and we walked a short distance to a community centre where we were met by Lin Guoqing, a Disciple of Master Li who knew us from the Xixi Wetlands retreat.

The days Push Hands lesson went from 9am to 5 pm with a break for lunch. A review of what we had done before, with more detail. The major theme was to yield, taking away the opponents force, creating all movement from the waist. To attack start second but finish first, fast as lightning, faster than the blink of an eye.
