Yes...this phrase 'QiGong' can be like a Red Herring...like in US, over the
decades, the evolution of Slur wording...from calling someone a Communist or
Pro-Communist, then later it was Socialist...and now the very word Liberal
is a slur word.

Recently in Hunan Province, home of Mao Zi Dong, I had an memorable
experience, while having an exquisite cultivation by the river in lovely
Feng Huang. While I was experiencing some organic orgasm, a man behind was
circling around, telling folks that I was doing a Falun Gong exercise. I
remained in a nice Blissful state, but likewise was cognizant of the man's
words.

 I closed the exercise, then...without forethought, in the spirit of Wu Wei
(non-doing)...I found myself doing/saying a Pushing Hands Repelling Energy
response:
"You're just like the Cultural Revolution. Red Guard! I am not afraid of
you. This is from my teacher in Shanghai. It's Yuan Qi. Leave me alone!!!"

A small curious crowd of Chinese tourists developed. The man's face reminded
me of a rat-in-retreat, or a hyena in the movie Lion King

Later that evening, at the empty riverside Bar Club of my friends, a man
came by saying he was waiting for his friends. He was projecting a definite
sense of Darth Vader energy...Dark Side of the Force. He was doing it quite
intentionally, seeking to make my friends/myself nervous. He was asking
questions about me and I pretended not to understand, while I was focused
upon developing a Mind Mad of key words for the next day's MULAN Movie Magic
lesson  in the primary school auditorium.

Then the Feng Huang lights went out. My friends politely told the sleuth
that he may as well leave because his friends wouldn't come in the darkness.
The Darth guy seemed upset and confused...that none of us were paying
attention to his toxicity.

Metaphors for Pushing Hands...
