In the seventies and eighties of the last century, Hong Kong action movies were popular all over the country, and when it comes to martial arts stars, most people must think of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Bruce Lee Donnie Yen and others.
Especially Jackie Chan, it can be said that he brought Chinese martial arts to the world and went abroad, allowing countless people to understand Chinese kung fu and gaining the respect of many people.
Jackie Chan's current achievements are inseparable from the support of the family class, which gave him great help when Jackie Chan was filming in the early days.
In the family class, Lu Huiguang can be said to be a veteran-level figure and Jackie Chan's "great protector".
Lu Huiguang volleyed a horse, won the Muay Thai championship 7 times, knocked Jackie Chan to the ground in half a minute, and was known as Hong Kong's first leg after "Bruce Lee".
He can obviously rely on his face and fists to eat, but he is famous for his leg kung fu.
What puzzles the audience is that Lu Huiguang has been with Jackie Chan for nearly 30 years, but in the end he was ruthlessly dismissed, and his later life was "miserable".
Today, let's take a look at the story behind the fame of "Muay Thai King" Lu Huiguang and take a look at his ups and downs in life.
01
Lu Huiguang, born in Thailand in 1959, is a Thai friend, influenced by Bruce Lee, and has been very fond of martial arts since he was a child.
And he has been practicing taekwondo since he was a child, and he has also reached a high level of black belt 8th dan, and after practicing taekwondo for a while, he also learned Muay Thai.
Lu Huiguang has been self-taught for several years, but there is no substantive breakthrough, every time he fights with others, he is always the one who is beaten, and he has been injured.
His parents saw that every time he went out to play a game with others, he would hang the lottery when he came back, so they didn't let him practice.
Lu Huiguang promised his parents not to practice on the surface, but he practiced secretly in private.
Later, for some reasons, Lu Huiguang returned to China with his parents, and in order to live, he started working as a tour guide.
By chance, he met Su Shilong, the "father of Hong Kong Muay Thai", who saw that Lu Huiguang was so obsessed with martial arts and admired him very much, so he accepted him as an apprentice, introduced him to work, and taught him to practice boxing.
Lo had a kung fu background, which allowed him to achieve something in a short period of time, just as Muay Thai was all the rage in Hong Kong at the time.
When he saw it, he began to practice Muay Thai like crazy, and when he was 25 years old, he signed up for the Hong Kong Muay Thai competition.
During that time, Lu Huiguang got up early every day to run for the competition, and lost a lot of weight in less than half a year.
When fighting against others, he has never won a game, and when he was in the game, he made a splash and actually made a difference.
Lu Huiguang won the Muay Thai championship for 7 consecutive years and became a man of the year in the boxing world.
became famous in the competition, and was soon noticed by people in the film and television industry, who wanted to invite him to star in martial arts movies.

In 1985, Lu Huiguang was invited by director Tsui Hark to star in the filming of "The Working Emperor".
In just a few shots, it took him three days to shoot after leaving the country for a few minutes.
After getting in touch with filmmaking, Lu Huiguang fell in love with acting completely, and simply started making movies part-time.
Lu Huiguang's main job is to work as a security guard in a disco, and when he is resting, he goes to work part-time to make movies.
When he was working as a security guard in the club, Lu Huiguang met Li Xiuxian and Jackie Chan and others, and they met under the introduction of a friend.
At first, Lu Huiguang followed Li Xiuxian and made a few movies, but they all played some small roles and were very inconspicuous.
Later, when Lu Huiguang saw Jackie Chan again, he followed Jackie Chan, and at first Lu Huiguang thought Jackie Chan was joking.
It wasn't until Jackie Chan said that he would go to the company to sign a contract the next day that he believed that Jackie Chan was serious, and in this way, Lu Huiguang became a member of the family class.
In 1989, Lu Huiguang starred in Jackie Chan's movie "Legend", and since then, he has become Jackie Chan's right-hand man.
When he first entered the family class, Lu Huiguang could only play some small roles in Jackie Chan's movies.
Because when he was filming a scene, he often couldn't control his strength, and it was easy to hurt people, and once when he was shooting a shot of kicking a broken tree, he kicked it directly without the help of any props.
After watching it, the actors of the crew admired and feared him, and they were afraid that when they played with him, one of them was accidentally injured.

During the period when he was in the family class, Lu Huiguang has always worked hard in filming, and injuries have become commonplace.
Once during filming, Lu Huiguang was kicked to the head by Zhao Zhuowen, who was filming the opponent's scene, and fell directly to the ground motionless, and everyone did not dare to move him forward, for fear of causing secondary injury.
called an ambulance, but before it arrived, Lu Huiguang woke up by himself, and when he saw everyone surrounding him, he said that he had just fainted, and it would be good to rest.
After resting for a while, everyone found out when they saw that he was fine, and in the end, Lu Huiguang didn't go to the hospital, so he continued shooting.
Although many works have been filmed, they are all supporting roles, playing villain roles, and they have not been popular, and they have no sense of existence in the film industry.
In 1994, his life ushered in a turning point, and Lu Huiguang, who had been unknown in the family class for many years, began to be well-known to the public and emerged.
In 1994, Lu Huiguang starred in Jackie Chan's "Drunken Fist 2", playing the villain "Tan Chang" in it, and the fight with Jackie Chan in it was too exciting.
His action in the "one-word horse" directly made him out of the circle and start his film career.
After that, Lu Huiguang became the right-hand man of eating comics, and began to receive many films, but it still did not become popular.
Only when it comes to "one-word horses" does I know that Lu Huiguang is completely the kind of actor who is not popular.
Lu Huiguang has starred in many film and television works, and can be said to be a kung fu master, such as "Baby Plan", "New Police Story", "Crazy Boy" and so on.

Lu Huiguang has been by Jackie Chan's side for many years, and he thought that the two would always cooperate, but after a long time, things are different.
In 2009, Lu Huiguang's career had a crisis, and this year, Lin Fengjiao took over the family class.
In order to save money, she made layoffs, and the patriarch Lu Huiguang was among them, and that year, Lu Huiguang was 50 years old.
It can be said that Lu Huiguang's luckiest thing is to meet the family class, and the most unfortunate thing is to meet the family class.
According to the layoff compensation at that time, Lu Huiguang should have been able to get 500,000 yuan in severance pay, but for some reason only 100,000 yuan was in Lu Huiguang's hands.
It is said that when he went to ask Jackie Chan, the reply he got was: "This is the chairman's decision, I don't know."
Later, it was rumored that Lu Huiguang and Jackie Chan had no contact, and they didn't get along with each other, in short, they had everything to say, and only the parties concerned knew what the truth was.
In an interview, Lu Huiguang explained why he left the family class, and he said that Jackie Chan was going to Beijing to develop.
And his family is in Hong Kong, and he has two children, and he is responsible for his family and can't go to Beijing, so he quit the family class
When Jackie Chan was filming "Zodiac", the rumors that Lu Huiguang and Jackie Chan would not get along with each other were broken, and Lu Huiguang played the role of a funny pirate in the play.

Lu Huiguang's career was hit hard, and his relationship was also in crisis, and he and his ex-wife Li Shuxian married in a low-key manner in 1998.
A year after the marriage, the banquet was held, and Li Shuxian gave birth to two lovely sons for him, I thought
The family lives happily ever after.
But because Lu Huiguang's heart was on his career at that time, he neglected his family, gathered less and separated more, so that their marriage came to an end.
In 2006, the two ended their eight-year marriage, and after the divorce, Lu Huiguang won custody of his two sons.
God seemed to be joking with him, he was frustrated in love, and his career suffered an unprecedented crisis, and in 2009, Lu Huiguang was dismissed by Jackie Chan.
After divorcing his ex-wife, Lu Huiguang had a relationship outside the circle, his girlfriend was 24 years younger than him, and after the two were together, the woman did not dislike him for being divorced, and he also had two children.
However, in the end, Lu Huiguang refused to marry his girlfriend because of his two sons, and the two regretted breaking up after 11 years of love.

The last time Lu Huiguang appeared in front of the audience was in 2022, sharing his life on his personal social platform.
Lu Huiguang in the picture, next to the sofa, ironing clothes, very skillful.
Now Lu Huiguang is also willing to come to the end, take out his pension money, and pull his two sons to grow up.
Lu Huiguang's eldest son also entered the entertainment industry like him, he is an actor, and after filming a campus drama, he quit for some reason, while his youngest son is still studying.
Finally, I wish Lu Huiguang better and better.
