Chinese Bull Fighting

We all know that bull fighting is a national sport in Spain which has been known to the world for centuries but few know that China also had bull fighting in the past.
In the West-North part of China, there lived the minorities nationality, who had a custom to keep a festival of bull fighting every year.
But, it is quite different from the style of Spain. In Spain, a man and a bull fighting together. The result is that either the man died or wounded, or the bull killed by the fighter.
In China, it is not that the bull and man fighting, but bull to bull fighting themselves together. They would fight until the opponent wounded or killed by the victor.
Those bulls, in the normal days working in the field with their masters, went to competition field on that festival.
They stood in apposite long distance. When a signal is given, each would run as fast as they could to hit their heads against each other. As the force was so powerful, one would die immediately and another is wounded.
