Chinese always have different feelings for martial arts. In fact, in the previous era, there were many famous martial arts fighters, who with their enthusiasm and wanted to protect the motherland and protect the people who were caught in the sea of suffering. There are also many film and television works based on them, and many classic films have been made. In general, none of us have witnessed that period of history, so we cannot judge a person's merits and demerits.
There was a movie "Jingwumen" before, which made people watch it for a long time and could not forget it. Today we will take a closer look at the prototype of Chen Zhen, in fact, he is still very different from Chen Zhen in the film and television drama, this person was born in 1883, his real name is Liu Qingshun, and the word Zhensheng. This was also a child with a bitter fate, and his father died not long after his birth. His mother chose to remarry someone else, and he also left his hometown and followed his mother to a small county in Tianjin.
When I first arrived in Tianjin, it was the time when the Boxer Rebellion broke out. This organization is a group of peasants, craftsmen and workers whose purpose is to oppose imperialist aggression. Therefore, he knew very early on that the Boxers existed and used their fists to hit foreigners. On weekdays, he always saw the Chinese people being bullied by foreigners, so he admired the Boxers very much. He also hoped to join the organization and avenge the people.
He even secretly found some books and learned kung fu. After the Boxer Rebellion was suppressed, he and the people of Tianjin City mourned for a long time and silently prayed for the fate of these people. Fortunately, during this period, there was a samurai named Huo Yuanjia, who represented Chinese and won the foreigners in a contest, and there was a foreigner at that time, who claimed to be the first Hercules in the world. He also openly said that we in China do not have a single capable person, and all of them are sick men of East Asia.
So Huo Yuanjia proposed to compete with him on the stage, did not expect Hercules, after learning that Huo Yuanjia was strong in martial arts, he actually escaped from the battlefield. It is precisely because of this incident that Liu Zhensheng saw the power of Chinese martial arts, and he firmly believed that if he could learn the essence of this sport, he would definitely be able to protect the country and the people. Unconsciously, he actually dreamed of being a hero, hoping that one day he would be able to use his own strength to protect our motherland.
Once a person has a dream, then his subsequent time will definitely work hard and struggle for the dream. So gradually his behavior changed somewhat, and he would get up to practice martial arts whenever it was still dark. He made countless wooden stakes, stood on top every day to practice boxing, and he also created a lot of training methods, and in the long run of training, his body really became much stronger. At least it was not easy to get sick, and by chance, he met a businessman.
In the process of chatting with him, the boss was very approve of the child. Later, when he learned of his origins, he offered to adopt him as a righteous son. After that, the two people became known as father and son, because Yoshiko was very fond of martial arts and reached the realm of obsession with martial arts, and Boss Liu simply recommended him to Huo Yuanjia. Huo Yuanjia saw that this child liked martial arts so much, and felt that there would be great achievements in the future, so he officially accepted him as an apprentice. Since then, Liu Zhensheng has officially embarked on the path of martial arts.
Huo Yuanjia himself is from a martial arts family, his martial arts are very outstanding, and he has scared away hercules from various countries many times, so he is very famous in the local area. After developing a set of boxing techniques into lost fists, after following Huo Yuanjia to start learning martial arts, Liu Zhensheng was single-minded and focused all his energy on the study of martial arts. He has to train carefully under the guidance of his master every day, and he is also a diligent person, and he always takes care of all the things of the master in addition to practicing martial arts on weekdays.
For example, washing clothes or helping the master to lay hands, after a long time, Huo Yuanjia was also very eccentric to this apprentice. He was also very optimistic about this disciple, and later he also taught Liu Zhensheng the boxing technique he had created. In just a few years, he studied martial arts assiduously, and his skills surpassed that of many of his fellow brothers. During that period, his experience in the first half of the period was basically similar to that of the roles in film and television dramas. But the difference is that Chen Zhen in the TV series has been injected with more artistic materials.
For example, some people say that Chen Zhen and Huo Yuanjia were originally enemies, but in fact, in real history, the relationship between Liu Zhensheng and Huo Yuanjia was very good. When he decided to join Huo Yuanjia's disciples, he just wanted to learn martial arts better. In fact, during that period, Huo Yuanjia had a very strong desire, and he told his apprentice that his ideal in this life was to let Chinese learn martial arts, so that when foreign powers invaded, we could use our own kung fu to protect ourselves without being harmed by the great powers.
Hearing this ambition of the master, Liu Zhensheng only felt that his whole body was boiling with blood, and he had been working hard for this dream. To put it mildly, in those days, such dreams were simply whimsical. At that time, anyone could bully us, but Chinese was very cowardly because of his long-term opium smoking, so the Japanese called Chinese the sick man of East Asia. However, these two people still created a lot of glory in that era.
They visited many places and founded the Jingwu Association in Shanghai. The purpose of this organization is to promote martial arts throughout the country and to make China strong in this way. After the martial arts were mastered day by day, the apprentice also began to be eager to try, and soon he ushered in the opportunity. In a certain month of 1901, people who had always looked down on Huo Yuanjia came to kick the museum. They were members of the Japanese Judo Club, and at that time they specially selected a dozen masters and made it clear that they would try martial arts against the most powerful people.
The last official confrontation with the Japanese judo master that day was Huo Yuanjia's most favored apprentice, Liu Zhensheng. He used the static braking method to win five people in a row, which also made the other party dare not underestimate. The Japanese leaders were not satisfied at the time, and their purpose was to defeat us all and smash the brand of the sick man of East Asia on us. But now, seeing their elite generals, one by one, being pushed to the ground, they have nothing to do.
In the end, this group of self-righteous Japanese masters slipped away without a face. This fight is the only public competition that Liu Zhensheng has left in history, and his kung fu also tells one of the wonderful deeds of his master. When the world mentions this part of his history, they always praise his master's skills at the first time, and do not overemphasize his victory over the Japanese. In fact, for Liu Zhensheng, this is somewhat unfair.
In real history, Huo Yuanjia's death stemmed from poisoning. Unlike film and television dramas, Chen Zhen in film and television dramas did not learn the truth of the matter until a long time later. But in fact, the apprentice knew early on that the master's death was related to the Japanese. At that time, after Liu Zhensheng finished the test with the Japanese judo master, the Japanese knew that they were not Huo Yuanjia's opponents, after all, even this person's apprentice could not beat him, what ability was there to beat his master? So in order to eradicate this scourge once and for all, they decided to make a conspiracy.
At that time, the Japanese pretended to be friends with Chen Zhen, ostensibly to ask him for kung fu, and kindly recommended a doctor to Huo Yuanjia, who at that time had a cough of blood, equivalent to today's tuberculosis. Huo Yuanjia's condition only worsened step by step after taking the elixir given by the Japanese. He then died suddenly, at the age of 42. In fact, when the Japanese first began to make friends with Huo Yuanjia, Liu Zhensheng advised his master not to act rashly.
After all, the Japanese were certainly not so kind, but Huo Yuanjia didn't think so. He felt that he had conquered the enemy by his own strength, and he only said that these people were not bad people, and they were still very friendly to some of the Chinese. When the apprentice saw that the master did not listen to the advice, he decided to protect the master silently in his daily life. However, what he did not expect was that the master had been taking the panacea given by the Japanese. The day after his master's death, the Japanese who were responsible for treating him fled back to Japan.
This passage is also recorded in a book. After the incident, Liu Zhensheng sent the miracle medicine given by the Japanese to professionals for testing. The test results showed that there was a chronic rotten lung drug inside the pill, which could not be found in a short time, but it would die after a long time. As soon as the test results came out, Liu Zhensheng and the disciples of the Jingwu Society determined that the master's death was a well-planned conspiracy by the Japanese. This result was later verified.
Some of Huo Yuanjia's body had black spots, which were determined by forensic doctors: the dark spots were caused by poisoning. In the film and television drama, when the apprentice learned that the master was killed by the Japanese, he personally went to take revenge and eventually died with the Japanese. However, in real life, there are some sources, although Chen Zhen also wants to avenge his master, but his method of revenge is to go to the northeast with the brothers of the Jingwuhui and participate in the anti-Japanese salvation movement.
After all, at that time, the opponent was too strong, he could not avenge the master by his own strength, if he rushed forward, he would also sacrifice together. This inability made him feel tormented, so later he took the initiative to leave the Jingwu Gate. After leaving Jingwumen, he went to the northeast, but before going to the northeast, he tossed and turned everywhere because he had no dreams and goals, and the difficult life once made him want to become a monk. However, because of the political turmoil, this idea was terminated.
In desperation, he finally chose to come to the northeast and became the bodyguard of a wealthy businessman. In short, in film and television dramas, every time I watch Chen Zhen compete with Japanese people to test martial arts, it always makes Chinese see the blood boiling. Whenever he soars in the air and the picture is suddenly frozen, it is a classic in kung fu films. With the popularity of Chen Zhen in film and television dramas, his fame has gradually overshadowed the master!
