Teenagers practice martial arts and have martial arts dreams.
/kloc-at the age of 0/2, Wang Hongxiang worked as an apprentice in Yuncheng Songjiang Wushu School, Shandong Province, practicing traditional martial arts such as Nanquan and Hongquan. 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". 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. "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.
A major turning point, the soldiers burned their ambitions.
In 2005, Wang Hongxiang signed up for the audition of Wulin Wind, but was forced to give up for some special reasons before the competition. In 2006, Wang Hongxiang signed up again, and went all the way from the sea election to the champion. What impressed people most at that time was Wang Hongxiang's seven consecutive tyrants, who became a "true hero" in the eyes of ordinary people. Wulin Wind has changed Wang Hongxiang's life track, and perhaps it is the fighter's persistence that won him a broader life. In the confrontation with Japanese samurai Zhang Jun Harumi, Wang Hongxiang won the game without any dispute, and was named the MVP player of this competition after the game. On the road of being a soldier, Wang Hongxiang reached the first peak of his life. On September 5th, 2009, Wang Hongxiang defeated Shawn Yar yarbrough, the No.1 in the United States of the World Boxing Federation. After the game, he finally expressed his admiration and continued to write the unbeaten myth of Wang Hongxiang.
Olympic complex, love emphasizes competition.
During the Beijing Olympic Games, Wang Hongxiang had two great wishes. One is to watch the competition in the weightlifting field, and the other is to see the style of China Wushu at the Olympic Games. "I watch every game, such as football, track and field, baseball, but what I like best is the fierce competition. Many people think that weightlifting is boring, but I think that little by little transcendence reflects the essence of the whole life. " Wang Hongxiang can name many China athletes, such as Zhang, Shi Zhiyong, Tan Xue and Zou Shiming ... "I will definitely go to Beijing to watch the Olympic Games next year, especially our martial arts. I will go to refuel for the first time. "
He has loved sports since he was a child. Although Wang Hongxiang failed to become a professional athlete, as a pioneer of ordinary people's competitive sports, he has a special complex for the Olympic Games. "Be proud of the Beijing Olympics, start from me for the Beijing Olympics, be healthy, and show the true style of our China people."
Wang Hongxiang's growing experience
Look at the martial heart of Shaolin Temple.
Wang Hongxiang was born in a simple peasant family in Jining. Most people in his small town know several martial arts. His father Wang is a descendant of Xiajiaquan, and he has many martial arts specialties such as Meihua Boxing and Dahongquan. 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.
It was not until 12 years old that Xiao Hongxiang saw the open-air film Shaolin Temple that his determination to practice martial arts really began to sprout. Jet Li's heroic demeanor in the film made him envious. Coincidentally, Yu Hai, a kung fu actor who plays Jet Li in this film, later made an advertisement for a martial arts school on TV as the principal, and that martial arts school is 0/00 km away from Wangjia/Kloc. After watching the advertisement, Xiao Hongxiang clamored to learn from the teacher, and the father agreed to his son's request. Since then, Wang Hongxiang has been attending boarding schools. Because of the long journey, Wang Hongxiang, who is afraid of carsickness and wants to save money, only goes home once every two or three months, or even once every six months. When his parents came to see him, they rode bicycles all morning, bringing only fruits from their own apple orchards. Life is hard, but Xiao Hongxiang enjoys it, because everything in the martial arts school is so interesting and novel to him.
However, freshness is always limited for children. After a long time, Wang Hongxiang gradually felt that school life was a bit boring. This "legendary" principal not only rarely shows up, but also gets up at 5: 40 every morning and starts training at 6: 00, starting with running 10000 meters, and then practicing leg press,1000 meters sprint, frog jump and push-ups. This whole set of "morning exercises" must be finished before 7: 30, otherwise the coach will wait on him with a stick. After breakfast, there are four culture classes in the morning, boxing and knife and stick in the afternoon, plus physical fitness. There are two cultural classes after dinner, and I can't go to bed until 9 pm. Wang Hongxiang said that he looked forward to the rain every day because he didn't have to do morning exercises. Sometimes he hears the rain vaguely in his dreams and is very happy. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw that it was the bedwetting in the upper bunk.
At this time, Xiao Hongxiang realized that flying over the eaves in the movie is not the real martial arts world. Wang Hongxiang, who couldn't stand the "torture" of the martial arts school, fled home. He begged his father that he would do anything except not to let him go back to school. Wang Hongxiang, who was beaten by his father because he was lazy in practicing martial arts when he was a child, was unexpectedly not beaten this time. After learning about the situation from the teacher, the father patiently taught his son to practice martial arts with perseverance and never be afraid of hardship, and expressed his determination to his son: "No matter how poor our family is, we will support you in your study. You must learn to sell iron in saucepans." Under some influence, Xiao Hongxiang finally returned to the martial arts school. A year later, when the father paid the tuition for his son, he fainted due to fatigue and accidental pesticide poisoning. This incident also touched Wang Hongxiang, who made up his mind to follow this road of martial arts, no matter how difficult it was.
Wang Hongxiang-Wandering Days
1996, Wang Hongxiang was admitted to Shandong Institute of Physical Education, but failed to pass the major, which was the first low point in his life. At that time, he thought about giving up, but at the critical moment, his father stood up again and chose a more promising path for his son: from martial arts to free fighting. From then on, Wang Hongxiang began to practice Sanda. When he first entered the Sanda team, Wang Hongxiang found that his martial arts skills since childhood made him make rapid progress in this respect, and soon his teammates were no longer his opponents. Shortly thereafter, he was promoted to the school team and often went out to compete with the team.
However, just as his Sanda skills were improving, an accidental injury dragged him into the second trough of his life, which lasted for several years. During a training session, Wang Hongxiang tore the lateral thigh ligament and injured the meniscus of his knee. After the operation, the doctor said that he might never do strenuous exercise again in his life. "That was a big blow to me, and the injury was by far the most serious one. I was desperate at that time, and my father's years of hard work were in vain. I feel very sorry for him. " Wang Hongxiang recalled.
1At the end of 997, Wang Hongxiang, who had been at home for a year, learned from the bitter experience and decided to leave school and travel south. Wang Hongxiang stayed in Guangzhou for eight years, during which, just like an ordinary entrepreneur at the bottom, he kept trying all kinds of careers and wanted to find a career that suited him. He worked as a security guard, a street vendor, a salesman, a martial arts tutor, and even ran a 50-yuan walk-on in many Hong Kong movies such as Young and Dangerous. Everything is to make a living, but after a long busy day, Wang Hongxiang found that he still couldn't find his own direction. Looking at the bustling night market in Guangzhou, watching the sports cars speeding by on the road, Wang Hongxiang, who was in a sad mood, finally couldn't help but make a phone call back and cried and told his father at the other end of the microphone that he wanted to go home.
Wang has also been worried about his son. After that call, he bought a used car for his son in his hometown, only waiting for his son to return to his hometown to transfer to agriculture. The more tolerant his father was, the more guilty Wang Hongxiang felt. He knew that such a mediocre life was by no means what his father expected of him. After careful consideration, Wang Hongxiang decided to return to Guangzhou to look for opportunities. In the meantime, he played an exhibition match in a bar, which was the first time he stepped into a formal boxing ring with so many spectators. After several years of rest, his leg injury has healed a lot. He felt that he should use this part-time job to maintain his life and regain his fighting status. 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. Until one day in 2006, Wang Hongxiang saw the audition announcement of Wulin Wind on TV, and he vaguely felt that the time had finally come to realize his father's dream.
