One memorable episode happened when he was 26 years old and working especially hard on his neijin (inner strength). Says Chan, "I got to the point where I felt like my whole body had become extremely light, and the air around me seemed dirty and polluted." After a while he couldn't stand to hear old classmates talking about cars, work, and worldly ambitions.
那是他二十六歲那年，很認真地的練內勁，「練到感覺身體很輕，覺得周遭的空氣很汙濁」，他說，甚至連偶爾碰到同齡同學談及車子、工作、名利、社會地位等事，會覺得很不能忍受。
