Hey, Mute Dog
500,
600,
700,
800,
now scram!
"$2,850"
You're only here as a punching bag,
do you really think you're the street champ?
Go back to teaching kids
"Street Champ"
"Hirakawa"
"The Fist and Zen are One"
999 What's your emergency?
Hello?
Sir, calm down
Please don't yell
If you are a mute, just make a sound
If yes, please get them on the phone
Hello...?
The writer Lu Xun once said,
When I am silent, I feel replete
As I open my mouth to speak,
I am conscious of emptiness
My dad is Japanese
His name was Akira Hirakawa
His company transferred him
to Hong Kong in 1972
To be the manager of
the kitchenware department at Daimaru
"Akira Hirakawa"
Then he met Ho Lai Mui
My mom
Besides working at Daimaru
He also taught Karate
Back then Hong Kong
was a place with people of all kinds,
and knowing martial arts was helpful
Maybe there weren't many Japanese people
teaching Karate in Hong Kong
Dad had so many pupils that
he decided to quit his job
a 1,200sqft flat in Wanchai
The living and dining room became the dojo
So we ate and slept in the bedroom
When I grew up, dad slept in the hallway
every day after school
And hearing a group of stinky men
exclaiming 'Osh, Osh Osh'.
It was really annoying!
I'm Mari Hirakawa
My dad gave me that name
Silent contemplation
Alright
Salute!
Salute each other!
"Chan Kent"
Seiyunchin
I hated Karate
But dad said I wasn't afraid of pain,
and had a natural born talent
So he forced me to start training
Maybe he thought that I enjoyed it
I was planning to stop after
achieving the brown belt
Black belt comes after brown belt
And it was really hard to achieve
I remember there was a time when he entered me
into a competition without my consent
And I lost the competition
I'm never practicing Karate again!
I haven't touched Karate since then
During the financial crisis in 1989,
Mom asked dad to mortgage the dojo
But dad refused to do so
My uncle ended up committing suicide
After that, mom left us
That's what I can remember
I became lonelier after mom left
I didn't have any other friends besides Peggy
How did we remain such good friends?
I like her coz she's dumb
All b*obs, no brains!
She won't do any harm to me
...He isn't trying to be brave by
being like this
It's because this is what's normal
Just admit that you want to give it your all
You wanna dive into the fiery pit that is love
Remember, I'm your musical lover, Calvin
- You're so horny!
- Let me squeeze you!
- Let me squeeze you!
- Let me squeeze you!
I have a black belt in Karate
Started competing when I was 10,
and was the champion of the Youth section
I've wanted to become
a security guard since I was a kid
I want to safeguard Hong Kong,
and the voices of its people
I promise that nobody will get hurt
in the parking lot once I start working here
Sounds good, where's your black belt?
"Hirakawa"
Awesome! You start tomorrow
You can call me 'Bulldog' from now on
Lt is now 2:
08 amWe have the next caller on the line
This is your Music Lover Calvin,
what's your name?
Is it my turn?
Hi
- Off work?
- Yes
Must've been a long day
Are you new?
