Speaking of kung fu superstars, the first thing that comes to mind should be Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, etc., their fist-to-flesh martial arts moves make everyone very enjoyable to watch.
But there is another figure in the martial arts world that may be a little unfamiliar to everyone, he has won ten consecutive championships in the Chinese martial arts world and is known as the "Changsheng General".
Once competed on the same stage with Jet Li, the well-known martial arts superstar Donnie Yen is his apprentice, and even Sammo Hung didn't ask him to move.
He is the only winner in the Chinese martial arts world to win ten consecutive championships so far, so who is he?
Embark on the road of martial arts training
This person who surpassed Jet Li in the martial arts world with his own achievements is Zhao Changjun.
Zhao Changjun was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi, his parents were ordinary workers, and Zhao Changjun, who should have no fate with martial arts, suffered losses because of fights when he was a child, so he made up his mind to go to a martial arts school to practice martial arts.
Although the family's life was very difficult, his father was very supportive of him, and took him to find the folk martial artist Yuan Runsheng and worshiped him as a teacher.
Since then, Zhao Changjun has also officially entered the road of martial arts training, and his father also plays an important role in this long road of martial arts.
At first, Zhao Changjun was just so that he could not be bullied by others, and he held the mentality of learning casually.
But he found that in order not to delay his training, his father insisted on picking him up and dropping him off every day, even if he worked hard.
Even his father would buy him food every day in order to give him strength to train well, but he was never willing to eat.
This deeply touched Zhao Changjun, so he secretly vowed in his heart that he must not live up to his parents' expectations.
In his subsequent martial arts career, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, he would not be absent, and his perseverance also made his martial arts progress very fast.
Later, he was favored by the martial arts coach of the provincial team and decided to let him train professionally with him, and then Zhao Changjun entered the Shaanxi Provincial Wushu Team.
After joining the provincial team, the coach often taught him that the athlete who did not want to be a champion was not a qualified athlete, so he began to practice more attentively.
In the process of training, all parts of the body will be injured to varying degrees, but Zhao Changjun gritted his teeth and persevered.
And Zhao Changjun's spirit also deeply moved the coach, and at the same time he also ushered in a brilliant moment, under the arrangement of the coach, he participated in the national martial arts competition.
This is also the first time he has participated in a competition since he practiced martial arts, and he also met Jet Li in the arena, and Jet Li was not famous at that time.
In the end, both of them won the Outstanding Performance Award with excellent results, and they also attracted everyone's attention.
After that, Zhao Changjun went to Japan to perform, and his outstanding performance was highly recognized by people from all walks of life in Japan.
After the performance, the President of the Japanese Senate liked their performance so much that he wanted to give each of them a gift.
But Zhao Changjun said that we don't need gifts, we only hope that "the friendship between China and Japan can endure."
This sentence made the president of the Japanese Senate very optimistic about him, and when the speaker was invited to visit China, Zhao Changjun also accompanied him throughout the process.
This made everyone give him the title of "young martial arts diplomat", and Jet Li was not idle, winning the championship of wushu competitions in China for five consecutive years.
Glorious record
The two met again in the second year, and the two made it all the way to the "finals" and compete for the title of champion.
In the end, Zhao Changjun lost to Jet Li by 0.01 points lower than Jet Li because of a small mistake.
In the years that followed, the two played constantly on the field, but there was a spell in between, and each time it was Jet Li who narrowly won.
And Zhao Changjun was suppressed everywhere, and Jet Li once became his insurmountable existence at that time.
Until Jet Li retired due to injury, Zhao Changjun rushed up like a dark horse and ushered in his peak moment.
In the following ten years, Zhao Changjun won dozens of gold medals and never lost, so he was also known as the "Changsheng General" in the martial arts world.
In this way, Zhao Changjun has been fighting on the field for 20 years and has also ushered in his own retirement battle.
Having never missed a shot at the 6th National Wushu Competition, he won silver medals in his first two competitions, which put him under a lot of pressure.
But he couldn't relax, because there were two games to come, so he withstood great pressure and won two gold medals in a row in the next two races.
It was also the most memorable moment of his life, and after the competition, he said goodbye to the martial arts arena where he had fought so hard with honor and exhaustion.
After Jet Li withdrew from the martial arts world, he entered the entertainment industry, and at the same time instantly became popular all over the country with a "Shaolin Temple".
With the fire of "Shaolin Temple", director Sun Sha also decided to shoot a martial arts action drama, so he found Zhao Changjun as the male protagonist and starred in "Wudang".
And "Wudang" was also well received by everyone once it was broadcast, although it was not as popular as "Shaolin Temple", but it was not bad.
At the same time, Zhao Changjun also emerged in the entertainment industry, and then Zhao Changjun starred in many classic film and television dramas.
One of the most famous dramas is "The Legend of Haitang", which allows everyone to see his wonderful performance moves, and he also became one of the most popular martial arts actors at that time.
At that time, Sammo Hung also admired him and invited him to Hong Kong for development many times, but he politely declined.
Because he wanted to carry forward Chinese martial arts and cultivate more martial arts talents, he decided to withdraw from the film and television industry and open a martial arts academy.
Sammo Hung was very much in favor of his idea and gave him some financial help.
Carry forward Chinese martial arts
At this point, Zhao Changjun began a new journey on another road, establishing a martial arts academy in Xi'an.
But his development in the academy was not all smooth sailing, since there were not too many people who studied martial arts at that time.
He had to reduce the financial pressure on himself by downsizing his school, and even the money his wife earned was given to the school.
But these difficulties did not make him give up, but strengthened his determination.
He hopes to promote traditional martial arts to the world and let more people understand the charm of traditional Chinese martial arts.
Under this belief, Zhao Chang'an's martial arts academy is also getting bigger and bigger, and the school has also been opened abroad.
Even martial arts superstar Donnie Yen studied with him for a year, and he has also cultivated many excellent martial arts talents.
The purpose of his school is also to have more people like wushu, train more talents for the country, and hope that wushu can enter the Olympic Games as soon as possible.
Now in his 60s, Zhao Changjun still focuses on the promotion of martial arts and has made significant contributions to the development of national martial arts.
Although he was pressed by Jet Li everywhere when he was young, he did not give up his goal and still worked hard.
Perhaps he is not as well-known as Jet Li, but he has a profound influence on the development and promotion of martial arts.
Zhao Changjun and Jet Li were both martial arts champions when they were young, but one became the famous "Kung Fu Emperor" and the other became the inheritor of martial arts.
Many netizens also feel that it is a pity that if he can continue to develop in the film and television industry, there may be another martial arts superstar in the film and television industry.
But everyone's ideas are different, he just wants to carry forward Chinese martial arts, and at the same time wish him to realize his dream as soon as possible.
Although Zhao Changjun and Jet Li took different paths, they were both working hard for the development of Chinese martial arts.
At the same time, I also hope that Zhao Chuanjun can open his academy bigger and bigger, and we should also learn from his spirit.
