This is Wang Hongxiang. His favorite sports are not football and basketball, but weightlifting. Regarding the Beijing Ao Yun Olympic Games, Wang Hongxiang said that this is the pride of everyone in China, and he will definitely go to the site to "feel it" when he has the opportunity next year.
Teenagers practice martial arts and have martial arts dreams.
Wang Hongxiang was born in Jiaxiang County, Jining City, Shandong Province, a small village that is neither poor nor rich. His family is not well-off, but he can live a stable life. Therefore, living in such a quiet and somewhat lonely village, Wang Hongxiang, who is strong-willed, brave and competitive, has been restless since childhood. Most people in the town know several martial arts. His father, Wang, is a descendant of Xiajiaquan and has many martial arts specialties such as plum blossom boxing and red boxing.
Seeing Xiao Hongxiang's strong body when he was young, Wang already had the idea of letting him practice martial arts. Therefore, he often tells the story of his grandfather to inspire his son: at the end of the Qing Dynasty, his grandfather Wang was defeated by a Japanese martial artist in a contest. Shame and anger, he locked himself in a cave and practiced hard for a year. When I came out, I found the Japanese again and defeated them in one fell swoop. At the age of five or six, Wang began to teach him to do somersaults on the ground. After dinner, he was asked to "learn martial arts" with a group of his students.
/Kloc-When he was 0/2 years old, Wang Hongxiang was an apprentice in the First Martial Arts School of Shandong Province, practicing traditional martial arts such as Nanquan and Hongquan.
Since then, Wang Hongxiang has entered the systematic training. First of all, he learned the characteristics of combination of rigidity and softness, rapid alternation and bright rhythm, which made him perform with ease. His tenacity, persistence and persistence even made his teachers call him a good young man practicing martial arts. However, due to the poverty of his family, young Wang Hongxiang had to leave his beloved martial arts school, and he had to share family responsibilities for his parents. That year, he was 10.
Six years of martial arts school laid a solid foundation for Wang Hongxiang.
The reason for learning martial arts is because of a childhood dream of Wang Hongxiang, "I wanted to be dressed in black like a hero on TV, or fly over the eaves, or gallop on horseback, help the weak and help the poor, eliminate violence and be calm."
Wang Hongxiang is very opposed to the view that "traditional Wushu is beautiful but useless". He believes that traditional Wushu requires very high basic skills for boxers. Long-term practice will continuously improve people's internal strength, and at the same time get in touch with the soul of martial arts: martial virtue. In Wang Hongxiang's mind, learning Wushu has brought him the most precious wealth, namely, just and brave Wushu spirit and excellent moral character of respecting teachers and valuing friends.
From 65438 to 0997, Wang Hongxiang went to Guangzhou alone. Compared with his peers, he entered the society prematurely.
The road is bumpy and the dream never stops.
When I first arrived in Guangzhou, life in Wang Hongxiang could be described as "miserable". With his neat fists and dignified and restrained temperament, he was successfully hired as a security guard by a big company. His skills and manners were appreciated by his boss, and his income began to increase. His martial arts skills can be practiced and competed with his colleagues. He also took out some money accumulated by a department to study intensive training in professional venues and worked diligently to do what he liked. In his days as a security guard, he was hard, nervous and happy.
Talking about the past, the strong man in the ring is not shy. "I have set up a stall, worked as a martial arts tutor and worked as a coach in the gym. I have been hungry for two years. It can be said that I have tried much more work than I have got now. "
Despite the hard life, Wang Hongxiang has not forgotten his "basic skills". In 2003, Wang Hongxiang began to play "performance games" in some bars in Guangzhou. Although it is a "performance", it is no less intense than the official competition. Singaporeans and some Muay Thai players will also come to participate. At that time, the bar offered the boxer 600 yuan's victory card and 300 yuan's appearance fee. As a result, Wang Hongxiang beat 600 yuan in every game. "The level is very high, and I have accumulated a lot of experience in the past few years and understood a lot of truth." Since then, Wang Hongxiang has gradually gained a foothold in Guangzhou. Until one day in 2006, Wang Hongxiang saw the audition announcement of Wulin Wind on TV.
