In the vast sea of film and television dramas, we can always see the strange skills of martial arts masters, which are mostly exaggerated and interpreted. However, there is a person whose extraordinary kung fu is breathtaking and his national integrity is touching. This person is the famous martial artist from Cangzhou - "Qianjin Wang" Wang Ziping. After the founding of New China, he served as vice chairman of the Chinese Armed Forces Association and accompanied Premier Zhou Enlai on a visit abroad, writing a well-known legend of martial arts.

Wang Ziping (1881-1973), Hui, a native of Yihe Street, Outside the Great South Gate of Cangzhou. Influenced by his ancestors and the style of Cangzhou Shangwu, he learned martial arts from an early age, and at the age of 16, he was proficient in Cha Quan, Sliding Fist, Hong Fist, Cannon Fist, Bullet Leg, Eight Pole Fist and various instruments. When I grew up, I visited local martial arts masters and discussed learning Kung Fu.

At that time, the Boxer Rebellion swept through Cangzhou, and Wang Ziping participated with his father. In 1900, the Boxers suffered a crushing defeat. In order to avoid the crime of "fist banditry", Wang Ziping left home to take refuge in the Jinan Mosque, and visited the famous boxing master Yang Hongxiu as a teacher, practiced hard, improved his skills, and gradually grew into an all-round master.

The Germans heard his martial name and invited Prince Ping to the Qingzhou Railway Station to raise stones to test his strength. The prince went resolutely and crossed the top in one fell swoop, and the Germans were stunned. In September 1918, the Russian Hercules Canter came to Beiping to "perform" and bluntly said that Chinese was not his opponent. At this time, Wang Ziping was serving in the Beijing Army. After learning of this, on September 14, "in front of the casual clothes arrangement stage, Kang Tai came out, Wang Jun jumped on the stage, and Kang was already on the ground." When the venue was loud and noisy, Kang got up on the spot, not knowing what to hide! On September 16, 1918, the Morning Post edited by Li Dazhao and the Suncheon Times on that day had detailed accounts.

In 1919, when Japan was hit by an earthquake, a fundraising event was held in Qingdao, and Wang Ziping was invited to perform martial arts. Its palm broken stones, force bending iron rods and other programs are very popular. At this time, the American Hercules Alamein had to compete with the prince. When meeting and shaking hands, El Alamein hid the killing machine, and the prince ping was alert, and shunshi returned the salute with "iron farewell", and threw the other party on his back with an anti-joint.

In 1920, a foreigner named Conston was posing in Shanghai, and shanghai martial arts colleagues went to Shandong to ask the prince to come out of the mountain. Wang Ziping stayed at the Mengyuan Hotel in Shanghai, and some people saw that he was not tall and did not look amazing, so he was worried that he would not be able to win. Wang Ziping first stood firmly upside down at the railing on the second floor, flipped it quickly, and then casually ripped off a puller on the spot. The crowd was impressed and admired, and immediately wrote a letter to Conston, agreeing on a date to duel the male and female. Intimidated by the prestige of the "King of Thousand Pounds", Conston did not dare to show his face and quietly returned to China.

In 1921, the American Sullivan teamed up and came to Shanghai to pose for a challenge. They prided themselves on their strong lineup and arrogance, and even played the banner of the Arena of Nations. The prince responded with a hand, and the foreign manager proposed to give a speech to the audience after playing. Prince Ping was about to speak on the stage, and suddenly a big man in the shape of a biao came out of the cold fist behind him, And Wang Zi Ping flew up and kicked the other party to the ground, and then he punched hard, and the audience responded with warm applause, and no one in the World Arena dared to respond.

In 1923, Wang Ziping founded the Chinese Wushu Society, which gathered martial arts elites and taught martial arts culture. In 1928, he was invited by Zhang Zhijiang to become the head of the Shaolin Gate of the Central Guoshu Museum, and then the deputy director.

Throughout Wang Ziping's martial arts career, most of his rivals were foreign samurai who flaunted their might. At the crucial moment when the great powers were rampaging and insulting China, he struck a heavy blow at the strong enemy and added glory to the Impoverished and weak Chinese nation.
