The Great Wall never falls, the Yellow River gushes in thousands of miles, the rivers and mountains are beautiful, and the peaks and ridges of The Mountains are stacked, asking the mainland home which is like being infected.
At the time of the nation's peril, Huo Yuanjia's spirit inspired and infected every Chinese, so that the lions in the East would no longer sleep, and the chinese people would fight for the future of the nation.
Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen in the film and television drama
In 1981, the film and television drama "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" swept across the strait, and people began to re-understand the wind and bones of that generation of Chinese, and Huo Yuanjia's deeds began to be known. Unlike the fictional heroes in Jin Yong's novels, Huo Yuanjia shows the chivalry of a nation in times of crisis with real deeds.
There are many opinions about Huo Yuanjia's death, some people say that Huo Yuanjia died of poisoning, some people say that Huo Yuanjia died of an illness while practicing, and some people even believe that Huo Yuanjia was slaughtered by the Japanese at that time because of his name.
The historical Huo Yuanjia
Rumors always seem confusing under the tragic color of heroes, fortunately, the mandate of heaven is taken care of, Huo Yuanjia did leave heirs behind him, and now most of Huo Yuanjia's heirs are doing ordinary careers in ordinary posts, some are practicing medicine, some are farming, and some have inherited Huo Yuanjia's martial arts career, carefully protecting the glory of their ancestors.
At the 2017 Tianjin National Games, a woman surnamed Huo won a gold medal in a fitness qigong competition, and only then did her teammates know that the usually low-key captain was Huo Yuanjia's granddaughter.
When the nation is in danger, it provokes the chinese soul
The film and television drama "Huo Yuanjia" portrays the image of Huo Yuanjia, a great hero with advanced kung fu, whether it is a ring play with Hercules or a deep love affair with Chen Zhen's master and apprentice, which makes people remember deeply. However, the history of Huo Yuanjia is not so many thrilling stories, in Tianjin, he likes to do chivalry and righteousness, but also a person who learns martial arts, often carrying thousands of pounds of medicinal materials, so he is well known, people also respect him as "Huo Hercules".

The things that really made him famous, and the deeds that made him known as a national hero, came from several encounters with foreign Hercules.
At that time, Chinese was ridiculed by foreigners as the "sick man of East Asia", these foreigners regarded themselves as strong in martial arts, often found, which caused the dissatisfaction of many Chinese people, the first name was Schivanlov Hercules from Russia, thinking that he was "invincible in the world", Huo Yuanjia entertained this Hercules, asked to compete with the other side, even if he knew that Hercules knew that Huo Yuanjia was strong in martial arts, he was willing to bow to the wind, and this time the contest was not held as scheduled.
The "Declaration" reported on Huo Yuanjia's competition
Later, a British Hercules named Obiyin also made a big fuss, setting down the ring to compete with Chinese, Huo Yuanjia learned the news and went to Shanghai to meet the battle, at that time Shanghai knew that after Huo Yuanjia came, the major newspapers flooded the propaganda, the momentum made this British "Hercules" retreat, and this time the contest was not held as scheduled.
Huo Yuanjia founded the Jingwu Sports Association
One of the real contests was a contest with the Japanese. In 1910, the Japanese judo would be very unconvinced by Huo Yuanjia's scare away from Russian and British hercules, so he selected more than a dozen masters to compete with Huo Yuanjia. Huo Yuanjia first let his apprentice Liu Zhensheng play, and what needs to be explained here is that Huo Yuanjia's apprentice "Chen Zhen" is actually a fictional character in the film and television drama, and this Chen is really based on Huo Yuanjia's apprentice Liu Zhensheng. In the competition with the Japanese, Liu Zhensheng braked with static brakes and won five consecutive victories over the other side. The Japanese leader was very annoyed, and he thought that he was skilled, and he named Huo Yuanjia to compete. As soon as the two sides met, the Japanese leader knew that the opponent was strong, and he tried to hurt people with his black hand, but he was recognized by Huo. Huo Yuanjia made a false move, slammed his arm with his elbow, and the Japanese leader broke his bones and tendons, so he had to concede defeat.
"The world ridicules the mainland as a sick man's country, and I am a sick man in the sick man's country, and I am willing to try it with the world's healthy people."
It was this competition that made Dongfang Huo Yuanjia's reputation greatly enhanced, and his own super martial arts were truly recorded in this competition.
He died violently at the age of 42, leaving 5 children
After Huo Yuanjia was born, he had a number of heirs, including 2 sons and 3 daughters, all five of whom were named after the Oriental Characters. The eldest son, Huo Dongzhang, is 6 years older than his younger brother Huo Dongge and has been working as a farmer at home in order to take care of his mother. His younger brother Huo Dongge inherited Huo Yuanjia's career to learn martial arts, and later followed his uncle from Tianjin to Shanghai to open a martial arts gym, and successively engaged in anti-Japanese activities in Guangzhou and Indonesia, and died in 1956, a patriotic martial artist.

Huo Dongge married two wives in the mainland and Indonesia in his lifetime, leaving a number of children, his children in Indonesia have joined The Indonesian International, engaged in the pharmaceutical industry, and his children in China are also doing ordinary careers in ordinary posts, and the martial arts spirit and patriotic spirit of his grandfather Huo Yuanjia are also inherited from them.
The National Games won the championship and became famous in one fell swoop
In the 2017 National Games, the Tianjin team won the mass competition fitness qigong team championship, there was a woman surnamed Huo in the team, she was a physical education teacher at Tianjin University of Commerce, before the competition, everyone did not notice this person, until the team won the championship, only some people began to notice that the original woman surnamed Huo was Huo Yuanjia's granddaughter, and her grandfather was Huo Dongge.
Huo Jinghong
The woman surnamed Huo, named Huo Jinghong, was usually low-key, and until the time of the competition, her teammates did not know about her ancestors and family lineage. Huo Jinghong said after winning the award that she did not think of winning the championship, before the competition, she just held the mentality of focusing on participation, and did not expect that after some hard work, she finally won the gold medal.
Huo Jinghong won the gold medal
This year, Huo Jinghong was 40 years old, but she was born in a martial arts family and has been practicing martial arts for 35 years, which means that she has been learning martial arts since she was 5 years old. Huo Jinghong said that at that time, his father just wanted her brother to practice martial arts, but his brother did not practice in the end, but he completed the sister who followed him, so Huo Jinghong became acquainted with martial arts and insisted on practicing martial arts to this day. Later, Huo Jinghong was admitted to the martial arts department of Beijing Sport University, and after graduating from university, she went to Tianjin University of Commerce as a physical education teacher.
Why are foreigners so obsessed with Chinese kung fu?
In the past hundred years, most overseas people, when it comes to China, have always had two key words: kung fu and braids.
Among them, braids are stereotypes of backwardness and feudalism in Chinese, while when it comes to kung fu, most of them are solemn about Chinese.
The impact of this is inseparable from the efforts of generations of Chinese martial arts practitioners.
Whether it is the people who learned martial arts at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was Huo Yuanjia in the north and Huang Feihong in the south; or modern kung fu movie stars such as Bruce Lee who swept the world and Jackie Chan, a Hollywood kung fu master. These people have promoted Chinese kung fu overseas, and at the same time, they have also brought the chivalrous spirit of Chinese kung fu to all corners of the world with the characteristics of combining rigidity and softness, static braking, and combination of virtual and real, as well as the chivalrous spirit of seeing righteousness and courage, keeping promises, and putting the country first.
