In 1982, Yu Hai participated in a very important movie, this movie is also Jet Li's representative work, that is, "Shaolin Temple", in the movie, Yu Hai played Jet Li's master, and also showed very powerful kung fu.
At that time, the director of "Shaolin Temple" wanted to find a talent who could do kung fu to play Jet Li's master, and he wanted to find Yu Chenghui to play this role.
Yu Chenghui was a kung fu master of the same level as Bruce Lee at that time, and was good at two-handed swords, as well as shape-meaning boxing, and also praying mantis boxing.
However, Yu Chenghui's mantis fist is not the most powerful, this movie needs a master who is good at mantis boxing, so, Yu Chenghui said that although his two-handed sword is powerful, but the mantis fist is not the best, Yu Chenghui did not participate in this drama after that.
After that, the director heard that there was a person who was unmatched by Mantis Fist at that time, and his kung fu surpassed Yu Chenghui, and his name was Yu Hai, so he invited Yu Hai to play Jet Li's master, and Yu Hai made guest appearances as Jet Li's master in movies many times.
Therefore, when talking about Yu Hai, Jet Li will come to mind, and many people say that Yu Hai's kung fu is more than Jet Li.
Yu Hai said that at that time on the set, although my mantis fist was unmatched, but Jet Li's flipping punch was powerful, and I was not his opponent.
