邓/Deng/Dan and 红/Red/Ror from the 1989China!AU kinkmeme fic, Boxing Days. Basically, a well-meaning, somewhat naive university student by the name of Deng gets caught up in the spirit of the times when he meets the sullen and mysterious Red at the university's boxing club. Fleeting touches, significant looks, and revolution! ensues.
Excerpt:
Deng joins the university's boxing club the first week that classes start, determined to maintain a healthy balance between his engineering classes and his outside activities. His first boxing partner gives in too easily, and leaves the gymnasium with his confidence bashed in and embarrassment written over his face. Deng supposes that he should held his punches; he is bigger and stronger than most of his fellow classmates, never starved for milk or meat or rice in his youth.
Deng bests most of his partners save for one. A small, wiry, and sullen-looking young man approaches him one week, shoulders hunched and lips twisted in challenge.
