Xu Shiyou stayed in the Shaolin Temple for 8 years, and finally successfully opened the mountain gate, which shows that his martial arts foundation is very strong. In fact, there is another fierce general in the Red Army, and his martial arts are also excellent, he is Geng Biao. Xu Shiyou wanted to play a trick with Geng Biao, but Geng Biao refused, saying that it was not good to hurt anyone, so it was better to play a few tricks.
Geng Biao, who served as the head of the Red Fourth Regiment and the chief of staff of the Red First Division, after they reached northern Shaanxi after the Long March, and Xu Shiyou studied at the Red Army University. During the class, Xu Shiyou wanted to ease the tense learning atmosphere, he found Geng Biao, wanted to have a move with him, compete in martial arts, one high and low, to meet a martial friend.
Geng Biao declined, he said: Southern fist and northern leg, everyone practices different sets of sets, we compete in martial arts, may not be able to fight. Besides, if it is not good to compete with anyone who hurts anyone, it is better to play a few tricks for everyone. The contest that everyone was looking forward to with the members of the martial arts was not staged after all. Xu Shiyou gave everyone a few sets of punches, which were really fists and tigers, and everyone invariably gave applause and praise.
Xu Shiyou's martial arts were learned at the Shaolin Temple, so where did Geng Biao's martial arts come from? Geng Biao's martial arts were learned from his father. Geng Biao was born in a poor family, hard to read, but the family conditions are not good, Geng Biao's grandfather is a lifter, from childhood to teach Geng Biao a lot of knowledge, and Geng Biao's father is very talented, he not only understands medical skills, but also martial arts. Father Geng's "double hook hero" is famous for shaking one side.
Under the influence of his father, Geng Biao was interested in martial arts. Learning martial arts is very boring, but Geng Biao is diligent in learning and practicing, so Geng Biao's father passed on all his martial arts to Geng Biao. After Geng Biao mastered a martial art, Geng Biao taught him that learning martial arts was to strengthen his body, to defend himself, not to show off and provoke trouble.
Geng Biao kept his father's lesson in mind, and when the Jinggangshan Revolution broke out, he embarked on the revolutionary road without hesitation. At that time, the weapons and equipment in the troops were not advanced, and when they went to the battlefield, they often confronted the enemy empty-handed, and Geng Biao's martial art just came in handy, and he confronted the enemy, and generally five-seven people could not beat him. Even when he became the regimental commander, he personally went to the battlefield to fight the enemy and fight with bayonets.
New China conferred the title, but Geng Biao lost his hand in the rank because he left the army to take up diplomatic work. He later served as deputy prime minister and minister of defense, and in 2000 Geng Biao died at the age of 91.
