During the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court ordered the burning of the Shaolin Temple in Fujian, and Miao Xian, one of the five elders of Shaolin, lived in anonymity, lived by selling salt, and lived a life of poverty.
His daughter is called Miao Cuihua, who is very strong in martial arts, has been working as a bodyguard in the jianghu, and has the title of "a generation of heroines".
Fang De was robbed on the road, was miao cuihua appeared and then rescued, the two people after talking, found that everyone is a Shaolin disciple, like-minded, mutual affection, when Fang De was 60 years old, he married 16-year-old Miao Cuihua as a wife, Miao Cuihua gave birth to a child for him when he was 17, named: Fang Shiyu.
Everyone knows that Fang Shiyu's martial arts are in the world, and few people know that when Fang Shiyu was just full moon, Miao Cuihua would use medicated to bathe him, and then wrap him up with bamboo plates, iron bars, firewood branches, layer by layer, and repeat them, which made Fang Shiyu's whole body flesh and bones very solid, especially able to withstand punches and kicks.
When he was 3 years old, when other children were still playing with mud, Fang Shiyu had already begun to practice running, etc., and by the time Fang Shiyu was 11 years old, all kinds of martial arts had been learned almost, especially Shaolin Boxing, which was even more skilled.
When he was a teenager, Fang Shiyu was sent to Shaolin by his father Fang De to learn martial arts, he was short and fat, but he was not afraid of being beaten since he was a child, and his kung fu was not bad, so every time he fought and fought, he rushed to the forefront, and his two brothers were inevitably injured in the process of fighting, but every time Fang Shiyu could be safe and sound.
Fang Shiyu was able to rank second in the shaolin Ten Tigers ranking, definitely not simply because of his high martial arts, but because his nature was relatively brave and fierce.
When Fang Shiyu was 14 years old, when he went to Hangzhou with his father to do business, in the process, because of some things, Fang Shiyu beat Lei Tiger to death, and after talking to his father, the father and son ran back to Guangzhou from Hangzhou overnight to discuss the next step in Shaolin.
Lei Laohu's wife brought wudang disciples to avenge lei tigers, and in 1763, Fang Shiyu was killed by the Wudang faction, and he was only 24 years old when he died.
There are many theories about his death, some people say that he was kicked to death, some people say that he died of physical exhaustion, there are many opinions, but none of this matters, today we are going to analyze why he died at such a young age of 24.
The first reason, of course, was because of the political situation in the court at that time.
During the Qing Dynasty, the Shaolin sect was suppressed because it engaged in the activity of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", and during the Kangxi Period, after the Fujian Shaolin Temple was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, many disciples went to Guangdong to make a living, and during the Qing Dynasty, it was already explicitly forbidden for people to learn martial arts, especially the martial arts of the Shaolin School, so at that time, the imperial court absolutely did not stand on the Shaolin faction, and even tried to suppress the Shaolin Sect.
After being severely suppressed, the disciples of the Shaolin Sect spontaneously divided into two major gangs, namely the Shaolin Sect, represented by two of the five elders of Shaolin, Zhi shan and Miao Xian, who stubbornly insisted on reversing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. The second is the Wudang faction, represented by three of the Five Elders of Shaolin, Bai Mei and Feng Daode, and Wu Mei Shi Tai, who advocate the preservation of orthodoxy.
It is precisely because of this that Fang Shiyu belonged to the faction of "anti-Qing and restoration", and the political situation at that time led to government suppression, which was one of the reasons why Fang Shiyu died at the age of 24.
The second reason is naturally inseparable from the education of parents, who have always said that if there is a father, there must be a son, and what kind of parents there are, what kind of training methods, what kind of children will be educated.
Fang Shiyu's parents are Shaolin disciples, both are people who practice martial arts, there is no literati in the family from top to bottom, they all know that from the time When Fang Shiyu was only 3 years old, he trained him, and became a person who practiced martial arts, but they ignored his cultural education, no one told him not to do anything beforehand, which is that he killed Lei Tiger on impulse, paving the way for his death at the age of 24.
So it is not difficult to see that the education of family parents is very critical to the growth of a child, at least to determine what kind of person the child will become.
The third reason is because of the achievements he has achieved, some people wonder, is this not a positive word, a thing that can prove that Fang Shiyu is powerful, how can it be the cause of his death?
Fang Shiyu was bathed by his mother Miao Cuihua with medicinal water at the age of 3, etc., plus he learned martial arts from an early age, was strong in martial arts, and when he fought with the children around him at home, he was not injured, and when he was a teenager, he was proficient in various martial arts, which indirectly led to his habit of fighting and fighting unevenly.
After Fang Shiyu was sent to Shaolin, he rushed to the front every time he fought, but every time he could be unharmed, even his two brothers were injured in the process of fighting.
Later, Fang Shiyu's reputation spread more and more, and he was known as the second place of "Guangdong's Ten Outstanding Youths", and it was precisely because of these achievements that he felt that it was the right way to solve problems by using martial arts to fight unevenly, and became the fuse for him to kill Lei Tiger later.
The killing of Lei Laohu was the reason why he was denounced by the Wudang faction, which was the foreshadowing of his death at the age of 24.
There are many people who can't understand why Fang Shiyu is such a powerful person, why the last si Fa is like this, the most direct reason for his death is the five Shi Tai, that is, one of the five Shaolin elders in front of him, and Shi Tai, as a former female disciple of the Shaolin Temple, is also one of the five elders, her martial arts are naturally very powerful, her observation is also very sharp, plus the age is there, her experience must be more than Fang Shiyu.
There is also a gap in numbers, the number of people led by the opposing enemy Wudang Sect is particularly large, and Fang Shiyu has not many people, and from the perspective of the number of enemies, Fang Shiyu has already lost.
It may also be because Fang Shiyu had already killed many people at that time, and no matter how good his physical strength was, he had already consumed almost everything, which caused Shi Tai to just pick up the leak.
So why did Fang Shiyu die at such a young age?
Or did he die at the hands of the Five Masters in such a tragic way?
It may be related to his own personality, the education of his original family, the background of the times at that time, and the political situation at that time, and these reasons also reflect the defeat and decline of the Qing government fu at that time, and can only use the death of the hero to attack the darkness and decay of the dynasty at that time, of course, this also proves that the "anti-Qing restoration" is unrealistic and will not be realized.
These are the speculations of our descendants, what was the reason at that time, I am afraid that only Fang Shiyu is clear, in general, Fang Shiyu's generation of teenagers died so tragically at such a young age, it is worth regretting.
But although he died, our descendants will still remember him, remember his years of unevenness, remember the weakness he once protected, in the tv series filmed later, our Fang Shiyu juvenile ending also got a perfect ending, which also met the audience's expectations for him.
