The film "A Generation of Grandmasters" tells the stories of many martial arts masters during the Republic of China period, as well as the legendary deeds of Ip Man. Among them, the grandmaster of the Bagua palm, Miyahata, was the president of the Chinese Samurai Association and was respected by all martial artists, but he was old and about to retire, and many masters began to compete for the position of "president". The prototype of the palace Haneda in the movie, who was given a yellow coat by the Cixi Emperor, is the master of the imperial palace, and has repeatedly protected the personal safety of Empress Dowager Cixi. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he returned to the hidden mountains and forests, and he was also invited by Zhang Zuolin to go out of the mountains to resist Japan.
Born in 1870 in a poor family in the Qing Dynasty, this Ouchi master was born in a poor family in the Qing Dynasty, and he had read for several years when he was a child, but because his family could not afford it, he dropped out of school to become an apprentice in a rice shop. By chance, Gong Baotian met Yin Fu, the apprentice of the founder of Bagua Palm, and at that time Gong Baotian was very favored by this master, so he accepted him as an apprentice and taught him Bagua Palm. Gong Baotian followed his master into the palace and learned martial arts in the palace, because of his talent and intelligence, after a few years he learned something and was incorporated into the palace guards of the Qing Dynasty.
Gong Baotian was an active and responsible worker, and served as a personal bodyguard for Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor. Later, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Cixi escaped from the palace, and during the period of escape, Gong Baotian protected her safety many times, and was given the "yellow coat" by the Cixi Emperor, and also became the chief of the palace's internal guards. Gong Baotian's master not only taught him kung fu, but also made him grow into a righteous person, who had always been unaccustomed to the corruption of the late Qing Dynasty, so he resigned as the head of the Great Inner Guard and returned to the hidden mountain forest.
After the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zuolin heard that Gong Baotian's martial arts were very strong, so he went to invite him out of the mountain and competed with him when he met him. After the competition, he admired Gong Baotian very much, so he let him serve as the martial arts instructor of the army, and Gong Baotian also admired Zhang Zuolin and agreed to his request. Zhang Zuolin felt that this person's martial arts were very strong, and when necessary, he let him protect his personal safety, so Gong Baotian became his personal guard. Under the guidance of Gong Baotian, the army also became a very heroic unit.
At that time, the Japanese army wanted to get rid of Zhang Zuolin, a tricky figure, and sent people to assassinate him many times, but they were all destroyed by Gong Baotian and successfully protected Zhang Zuolin. After that, Gong Baotian was left by Zhang Zuolin in Beiping to protect his son Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Zuolin, who was not guarded by Gong Baotian, was killed by the Japanese army in the railway station. After learning the news, Gong Baotian was very sad, and Zhang Zuolin had the grace of knowing him, but he did not insist on walking with him to protect his safety. So soon after, he asked Zhang Xueliang to resign, go into hiding again, and return to his hometown to enjoy his old age.
While protecting Zhang Zuolin, Gong Baotian fought with the Japanese army many times, if it were not for him protecting Zhang Zuolin, then the Chances of the Japanese Army would be greater. Zhang Zuolin had been fighting against the Japanese army during his lifetime, not letting their plot succeed, but after his death, the northeast still fell into the hands of the Japanese army. If Gong Baotian is dozens of years younger, then he will certainly be able to make greater contributions to our country's War of Resistance, but he is old, and he cannot travel around and dedicate his strength to the motherland, but China's talents are full of talents, and there are many masters like Gong Baotian, and they have indelible strength in the War of Resistance.
