Speaking of Chaoqinglong, many people may not understand it. However, when it comes to Ma Yun's production of a micro-movie "Attack and Defense Road" starring in 17 years, everyone may have some impressions.
And the "master dragon" in the movie is the character I want to introduce this time, the king of the Japanese sumo wrestling world - Yokozuna Asahi.
Chao Qinglong was born on September 27, 1980, to a wrestling family in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. He began to learn judo in middle school and became a school champion, and then, like most steppe teenagers, began practicing Mongolian sumo from the age of 15. He also won the Junior Sumo Tournament at the annual Naadam Tournament.
In 1997, the president and coach of Matilda University in Japan came to Mongolia to find talents and found the Chaoqinglong. Only 17 years old, Asahi Came to study at Matilda College in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, and looked back on that period many years later: "My goal is to be a yokozuna, to make my parents happy, the amount of training exercise is not generally large, I practice every day, but sumo makes me happy." ”
In each match, the teenager's fierce non-conceit in the eyes of the young man attracted a person - Takasa's relatives, Takasa's relatives believed in the boy's potential and recruited him to his command, so in 1998, Asagiri entered the Takasabu house to learn sumo wrestling with Coach Takasa.
Asahi Washiru was the name he gave after he entered the sumo world, the full name is "Asahi-so-chi", and it is said that he took such a stage name because Asahi took the help of a nearby temple called Qinglongji during his study of sumo at Matilda Yoshijuku High School.
With a height of 1.84 meters and a weight of 154 kilograms, Asahi is undoubtedly a giant for ordinary people, but in the sumo wrestling world, he can only be regarded as a small man. Although he was not very tall, the strength of chaoqinglong was beyond doubt. In 1999, at the age of 18, Asahi Seiryo made his debut on the Japanese sumo wrestling competition. He was promoted at a rocket-like pace, and in 2002, Asahi was promoted to the second-ranked "Daguan" among sumo wrestlers, becoming the first Mongolian-born Daguan Lux. The achievement surpassed that of the Mongolian Lux Asahiyama, whom he had admired, thus proving that Takasa's relatives did not look away, and this beast from the Mongolian steppe was a natural sumo wrestler.
In one match, Asagiri played against the then "Yokozuna" Guinaka. The competition was fierce, and in the end, Guinohua narrowly defeated Asahi, and after the game, Asahi burst out loud as she left. He also said something that shocked the Japanese: "If only I had attacked his injured left foot." It was also at this time that his character problems began to attract everyone's attention.
The following year, Asagiri made a deliberately provocative move when confronting his former idol, Asahiyama. After the game, the two clashed in the bathroom, and then Chao Qinglong directly destroyed Asahiyama's car rearview mirror. Although the media talked about him a lot, Chao Qinglong's unquestionable strength had to be impressed.
In 2003, the 22-year-old Asahi Once again confronted Guinei. However, this time, the undefeated Yokozuna Kanahana in the hearts of the Japanese lost, and Asagi was promoted to the 68th Yokozuna in the history of Japanese sumo wrestling, and Kinohana subsequently retired. At that time, the entire Japanese society, from the official sumo institutions and the tendency of media reports to ordinary people, could be described as "picky" about asahi. At the end of the day, it's still not willing to face the reality that the strongest sumo wrestler is a foreigner. In fact, there were two yokozuna from Hawaii before Asaka, both of whom had already entered the Japanese nationality, but the Asahi Washi did not enter the Japanese nationality, nor did he destroy his own grassland style. Despite his reluctance, the Japanese could not deny his astonishing strength.
Asahi was the fastest to be upgraded to yokozuna after 1958. Yokozuna is the most qualified of the sumo wrestlers, and the general level of the lux will have to win two consecutive seasons to earn this honor. Moreover, Yokozuna has a very high status in the minds of the Japanese people, and it represents the highest level of Japanese sumo wrestling.
From the beginning of the season in November 2004 to the following year, Asahi Won the historic "Seven Seasons In a Row". As a result, he was regarded as a national hero by Mongolia, and in the first selection of the annual figure of the Mongolian "People's Power Newspaper", he stood out from all walks of life and was elected as the 2004 person of the year. Recognized as having had a major impact on the history of Mongolia.
Of course, the peak of this sumo genius did not stop there, in 2005 Asahi also set a new record of winning all six seasons in the whole year, and his sumo career really reached its peak.
In August 2007, Asahi gave up participating in the Japanese competition on the grounds of injury and returned to Mongolia to recuperate. But the Japanese reporter found that Asagiri was actually participating in the charity football match. As a result, the news of Asahi's "feigning illness" immediately caused an uproar in Japan, and the Japanese media reported it in a big way, and the Japanese Sumo Wrestling Association also severely punished Asahi. Returning to Japan on November 30 after a 93-day trip to his hometown for treatment, Asahi apologized to sumo fans at a press conference for the turmoil he had caused over the past four months or so. Asahi explained that he had gone to Mongolia at an official invitation to participate in the celebration of the thirty-fifth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Japan.
Afterwards, Chao Qinglong was exposed to suffer from neurasthenia and depression. However, in the subsequent competitions, Chao Qinglong still achieved excellent results in succession. On January 24, 2009, the last day of the first season of the new year of Japanese sumo wrestling was held at the Ryogoku Kokukoku Gymnasium in Tokyo, and although Asahi Kiritsune lost to Bai Peng, who was also a Mongolian Yokozuna, in the match of the day, he won the championship with a record of 13 wins and 2 defeats.
We all know that Mongolians love to drink, but it is also this character who fights and makes trouble after drinking alcohol, which ends the sumo wrestling career of Chao Qinglong. During the first season of 2010, when Asahi Washi provoked a scandal of drunken beatings, the Japan Sumo Association immediately held an emergency meeting, at which opinions advocating a serious treatment of Asagiri prevailed. This sumo wrestler, who was highly skilled in the arena, had to end his sports career at his peak.
The Uchikan also did not forget to remind Asakaru that "in the future, whether you are doing any work in Japan or other countries, you must not forget to respect that country and that job." Uchidate believes that Asaka lacks respect for Japan, for Japan's sumo wrestling community, and for his job as a sumo wrestler, and if he has this respect, then his merits will be recognized, and he will be positively evaluated by the Japanese people.
However, more than a year after Asagiri retired, the identity of the victim who was supposedly beaten by him surfaced, and the beaten person was called Kawana Takeshi, who was not a good man, he was a member of the Kanto Alliance of the Tyrannosaur Clan, but what people did not expect was that after the storm, he said in public: Yokozuna did not beat me. In fact, what really happened in the middle of this, we don't know.
Whether he was wronged or really disrespectful to Japanese sumo wrestling, Asagiri was an undisputed national hero in Mongolia. In his hometown, he is deeply loved by the people for his active participation in charity and generous sponsorship of a number of cultural and sports activities every year. Mongolian President Enkhbayar even presented the Labor Hero Medal to Chao Qinglong at the presidential palace.
After Chao Qinglong announced his retirement, Mongolia's "Century News" published an article on the front page of the day entitled "The Tears of Heroes Should Make Us Reject the Japanese Sumo Sport", accompanied by photos of Chao Qinglong and Bai Peng at the press conference with tears in their eyes and heartfelt feelings.
Pictured above is Bai Peng
The article called on all news media in Mongolia to stop doing any kind of propaganda for the Japanese sumo sport, so much so that the Mongolian Foreign Ministry had to issue a statement expressing the hope that the matter would not affect the feelings of the two countries.
Fortunately, the life of an industrialist after asagiri was more exciting than his sumo career, and he held a high position in the official diplomatic and sports circles, and also ran a company, opening a beer factory, restaurant, and circus.
What's even more striking is that he is also the owner of the National Investment Bank of Mongolia, which has a 10% interest rate on deposits, which is quite attractive, and has a branch in Tokyo, with a conservative estimation of 10 billion. Under the media interview, he even bluntly said that he may enter the political world, and his dream is to run for president. This poor boy of the prairie has changed his destiny and hopes that he will realize his dream of president soon.
