Answer
Two modern examples are Wu Gong Yi and Wong Seng Yen. In the 1940s or 50s in Hong Kong, some martial artists from White Crane Kungfu commented that Tai Chi Chuan could not be used for fighting. Subsequently a public match, with the proceedings going to charity, was arranged between the Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan master Wu Gong Yi and the White Crane master, who was well known for his fighting ability and also much younger than the Tai Chi Chuan master. It was a much publicized fight. When blood was flowing profusely from the White Ctane Master's face, the referee stopped the match and declared it a draw. It was a tribute to both sides that they gracefully accepted the referree's wise decision, and remained friendly.

有两个最近的例子就是Wu Gong Yi and Wong Seng Yen。在18世纪4-50年代的香港，就有一些白鹤拳派的习武这说太极拳不能用于格斗。随后就开始了一场公开场合的比赛，随着比赛过程的进行，太极选手为吴式太极高手Wu Gong Yi，白鹤派高手是当时著名的格斗选手，而且也更年轻一些。这次比赛是一次公开赛。当血不停的从白鹤派选手脸上不停的流下来的时候，裁判暂停了比赛，并宣布平局。这对于双方来说都是不死的传说，并且他门也很乐意地接受了裁判英明的裁定，并维持着友好的关系。
In the 1950s in Singapore a duel was arranged between a Malaysian Tai Chi Chuan master Wong Seng Yen and a Singaporean international wrestling champion. The wrestler was in his prime age, whereas Wong Sen Yen was in his 50s. It was a serious duel. Both combatants signed an agreement that should there be injury or death, no one would be held responsible. But the match was to be conducted with a referee and umpires awarding points. Wong Seng Yen went round visiting his old friends telling them it might be the last time he saw them.
在18世纪50年代的时候，在新加坡安排了一次格斗比赛，双方是马来西亚太极拳高手Wong Seng Yen和新加坡国际摔交冠军。这位摔交冠军正处于精力旺盛的年龄，然而，Wong Sen Yen有50岁了。这是一次很庄重的格斗。双方都签了生死协议，不用承担任何责任。然而，比赛还在进行着，裁判门正在算着点数。Wong Seng Yen走遍老朋友的身边，和他门道别。
In the match Wong Seng Yen, using purely Tai Chi Chuan techniques and tactics, easily threw the wrestler about. I could not remember the exact points, but they were something like 359 to 0. The wrestler could not even score a single point! Manifesting the qualities of a great master he was, Wong Seng Yen did not hurt the wrestler, he merely bounced him off; a lesser fighter would have smashed the wrestler's head or at least broken some of his bones.
在这次比赛中，Wong Seng Yen完全使用太极拳技击技术，很容易地战胜了摔交王。我并不能清楚的记得当时的点数，但是大概是359比0。这个摔交王甚至一分都没得到！Wong Seng Yen只是使对手弹回来，并没有伤害到自己的对手，就算是次轻量级的选手也会打碎摔交王的头，至少会使他骨折。这说明Wong Seng Yen最伟大的人格特性。
Sifu Wong Seng Yen and Sifu Wu Gong Yi have passed away, but they remain a great inspiration for us all. They not only demonstrated that Tai Chi Chuan by itself is a great martial art, but their actions put to utter shame martial artists who took pleasure in continuing to hurt their opponents when it was clear they had won..
Sifu Wong Seng Yen and Sifu Wu Gong Yi虽然都去世了，但是，他门给我门留下了最伟大的精神。他门不仅说明了太极拳本身就是属于伟大大武术，而且他门的行为也使那些在战胜对手的前提下，还乐于去伤害对手的那些武术者感到羞愧。
