In the West, the culture of dueling has a long history, going back to the Middle Ages. It was common for two noble gentlemen to duel to the death to maintain their honor or win a beloved woman.
This is really a blemish in Western culture; unnecessary actions lead to death. "The reason there are fewer foreigners." This phrase is also suitable for the European Middle Ages, as dueling was prevalent and people died from it daily. The royal family even issued an edict specifically prohibiting dueling.
This blemish extended from the era of cold weapons to that of hot weapons. In the Middle Ages, gentlemen dueled with swords, but by the time of the cowboys in the West, they used guns and died even faster.
The only duel Lin Fan has seen was in a movie about Western cowboys. On a desolate street, the wind blew sand as two cowboys, wearing boots and hats with revolvers at their waists, stood face to face.
The duel was decided in an instant—whoever shot first gained the advantage.
