Before digging the truth about this hero, look at the encyclopedia. The introduction about Huo Yuanjia is as follows:
His father, Huo Dian, is a bodyguard with high martial arts. Huo Yuanjia was weak in childhood. Before the age of 27, he basically lived in his hometown and often went to Tianjin to collect firewood and sell it. After the age of 28, he went to Tianjin as a dock stevedore. Later, he worked as a helper in Huaiqing drugstore opened by the farmers and was promoted to shopkeeper. 1909, Huo Yuanjia, 4 1 year-old, was introduced to Shanghai by the farmer, and accepted the bishop's martial arts in the gymnastics club he founded. He died on 19 10, and Mr. Huo was only 42 years old when he died. That's it! It's gone
From Wikipedia's introduction to Huo Yuanjia, we can simply divide it into three key points:
Childhood weakness. And collect firewood for a living.
28 to 4 1 year-old is a loader.
4/kloc-became a martial arts coach at the age of 0 and died at the age of 42.
In this way, according to the encyclopedia, Huo Yuanjia's life history before the age of 28 can be described as "completely blank"! In the movie, Huo Yuanjia, who taught a lot of disciples and drank a big bowl of wine, was not taught. Then "Tianjin first" and "killing Qin Ye" did not happen.
This aroused my great curiosity. Let's take the NBA as an example. The peak of American professional basketball players' physical fitness is 35 years old, and it will definitely decline in the future. This Huo Yuanjia didn't make any moves before he was 4 1 year old. How can He Dehe become a great master? There is only one possibility, "he is a mythical figure who has been blown out." But don't get me wrong, Huo Yuanjia is a historical figure, and "Blowing Huo Yuanjia" is a mythical figure; It's definitely not as strong as the movie. This is nonsense. "How weak is it?" This is what I'm really curious about.
Second, the myth about Huo Yuanjia.
Adaptation, adaptation, first change and then edit, you have to make up the plot, and finally you have to change something. Where does the true story behind Jet Li's popularity in Huo Yuanjia come from? According to my guess, it should come from Jason Wu Sports Association.
This Jason Wu Sports Association, also known as "Wu Jingmen", is called "Shanghai Jason Wu Sports Association" and has an official website. You can have a look if you are interested. Official website was introduced by Huo Yuanjia. Let me help you extract some "myths":
Where does Wushu come from?
Huo Yuanjia (1869- 19 10) was born in Jinghai, Tianjin. His father, Huo, has been practicing martial arts all his life. Huo Yuanjia ranks fourth. He was sickly since he was a child. His father forbade him to practice martial arts or go into the martial arts school. Huo Yuanjia, who longed for art, had no choice but to peek at his father and brothers practicing martial arts. In the dead of night, he practiced alone in the jujube garden, never stopping, and gradually got better under the guidance of his father and brothers.
How to build a famous town of Jinmen?
In order to make a living, Huo Yuanjia collects firewood and sells it in Tianjin. At that time, there were a group of local ruffians in Tianjin who bullied others by force, especially the poor peasants from the countryside. They even tried their best to extort money. When I saw Huo Yuanjia selling firewood, I angered them. Huo reasoned with him, saying that local ruffians and villains were rude, and Huo forced a lesson, so he hit a dozen in a rage. Since then, Huo Yuanjia's reputation has spread to Tianjin.
How to sublimate China!
As early as 190 1, Huo Yuanjia dealt with Russian Lux. At that time, there was a Russian Lux performing in Tianjin Theatre. Claiming to be "the world's first Hercules", he said that "the second is the British, and the third is the German". Hearing this, Huo Yuanjia stepped forward to compete with Russian Lux. The Russian lux was awed by Huo Yuanjia's fearless spirit, so he was corrected honestly in the newspaper and ran away.
How did Japan die!
At that time, some Japanese sold medicines, and sometimes they sent medicines to Huo's residence, saying that they could cure hemoptysis. Huo Xinzhi's condition worsened after buying medicine. After two weeks of treatment, not only did it not get better, but it got worse day by day. Finally, the treatment failed and he died. The doctor (Akino, a Japanese doctor) who was transported to the north for more than a year after the autumn fled back to the cave, and Looks disciples became suspicious. They checked the medicine Luxmen took every day and handed it over to the public hospital for examination. The hospital doctor said, "So is this medicine for chronic lung rot."
The first paragraph "secretly practicing martial arts", a joke. Huo Yuanjia's father knew for a long time that he was sickly and forbade him to practice martial arts. Can a person who has been identified by experts as unfit to practice martial arts practice hard in the middle of the night to develop a magical skill? It's not Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Guo Jing met a beggar elder and privately told you to surrender the dragon. Yesterday, I went to the gym alone and pulled my muscle. You told me that someone can become a martial arts expert in the yard at midnight?
To add a gossip, Huo Yuanjia has a nickname "Yellow-faced Tiger". Not surprisingly, Huo Yuanjia is a patient with liver disease and weak constitution.
The second paragraph "teach the local ruffians and hooligans a lesson" is even more ridiculous. Official website mentioned that Huo Yuanjia lived by collecting firewood and loading and unloading. According to the encyclopedia, this story is estimated to have happened in Huo Yuanjia between the ages of 28 and 40. Then let's ignore whether it is true that a firewood collector can win a group of hooligans; Huo Yuanjia's father is a warrior who is a bodyguard by profession. If you are a warrior and have a son who can fight ten fights, why not let him inherit the family business and let him work as a stevedore at the dock? This doesn't make sense! Obviously, the father saw that his son had no martial arts talent and asked him to find a proper job outside to make a living.
In the third paragraph, "A famous star drives foreigners away", foreigners are scared to flee by Huo Yuanjia's fame. This fantasy feels like an early anti-Japanese drama. The actual situation is that the two sides can't talk about the rules of the game, which leads to the end of the game.
The fourth paragraph, "medicine to kill Japanese people's rotten lungs", is precisely the most unacceptable last paragraph. According to the truth, Huo Yuanjia had lung disease (remember the yellow-faced tiger? ), so the Japanese will try to take medicine to cure him. As a result, this kind Japanese became the murderer who poisoned Huo Yuanjia. The second half of official website's statement is even more ridiculous: "It took a year to get the drug test, and the test result was called lung rotten medicine. 」
If official website's statement is true, that is to say, Huo Yuanjia suffered from lung disease for many years, and then the Japanese gave him lung rot medicine. Note that this lung rot drug can't be acutely toxic, and Huo Yuanjia must delay his death for more than two weeks. Gentlemen, is this logical? Also, crime emphasizes motivation and inducement. What are the benefits of Japanese killing Huo Yuanjia? Poison a firewood collector because he has a way to win the story of Nakamura?
Speaking of which, no matter what age you are in front of the screen, if you think rationally, you will feel that Huo Yuanjia's life is a fairy tale. Huo Yuanjia, after all, is just a sickly third-rate Beowulf. However, when we analyze here, another huge problem has emerged. Since Huo Yuanjia is a third-rate martial artist, why can he coach Jingwumen? Why can you leap to the big screen and become a generation of martial arts masters?
Third, Huo Yuanjia's God-making process
Martial artists have never been a stable industry that can make a lot of money. If A Qing martial artists want to make a living, there are several ways:
Working as a bodyguard in a rich family.
This is a martial artist's dream career. Being in the East Asian cultural circle that values literature over martial arts, it is the only way to live a rich second generation's living standard by martial arts.
Open a martial arts school to recruit apprentices
There are very few successful people who start a business as a cram school teacher. There is a famous martial arts cram school teacher named IP Man, but even if he is as famous as him, he can only take the martial arts business as a sideline (IP Man's occupation is a professional soldier).
Bodyguards in general escort agencies
Huo Yuanjia's father belongs to this category. Although he is not a bodyguard of dignitaries, he can at least be a escort or a brothel. And Huo Yuanjia? He knows nothing, because he has no talent in martial arts at all, so his job in his youth has nothing to do with martial arts at all, and he can only be a firewood collector.
Remember Huo Yuanjia's good gay friend Nong Sun Jin in the movie? In fact, the relationship between them is the relationship between the boss and the employees, because Huo Yuanjia helps him collect firewood. It's strange that this story is getting more and more hanging. Just like you and me, why was Huo Yuanjia from Lu Lu badminton chosen as the coach of Jingwumen? We continue to analyze from the organization of Jingwumen.
4. What exactly is Jingwumen?
Jingwumen is actually the name of this film. It is actually called Jason Wu Gymnastics Club, but that's not the point. The point is, who founded it? The founder of Jason Wu Gymnastics Association is Nong Sun Jin, and Nong Sun Jin is not only a famous businessman, but also a revolutionary of the League.
At that time, although the League was well-known and had many supporters, the vast majority of its supporters were villagers watching the play. Let's interrupt here. There is a saying in China that "two heads are better than one". When you get out of society, you will know that three heads are better than one. Two heads are better than one, and unless there are experts behind them, they will always be two heads.
In order to transform the villagers into militiamen, the league leaders read more martial arts novels and decided to practice martial arts and build martial arts schools. In, the Gymnastics Association was born, and the organizer was Nong Sun Jin. Nong Sun Jin wants to open a martial arts school, and the most important thing is to find a teacher. As a businessman, he couldn't beat him alone, so he began to look for coaches everywhere.
As I said just now, the only way for martial arts practitioners to get rich is to work as bodyguards in rich people's homes. At that time, the most common rich people can be divided into two types, one is related to the Qing Dynasty and the other is related to the Northern Warlords.
This is nerve-racking. This Jason Wu Gymnastics Club in Sun Jin, supplemented by martial arts, takes unity as its main purpose, and its political purpose is greater than its sports purpose. How can I find a martial artist who is related to the Northern Warlords or the Qing Dynasty as a coach? At that time, the talent pool of this alliance will become the talent pool of the enemy, and that will be a big loss. At that time, Nong Sun Jin was exhausted, and he couldn't find a martial artist who was proficient in martial arts and had a simple background all over the country. Looking for it, he suddenly thought of:
"I have a clown, once studied martial arts with my brother and father! 」
There is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua is the pioneer. In this way, Huo Yuanjia drove the ducks to the shelves and became the first generation martial arts teacher of Jason Wu Gymnastics Association. At that time, of course, there was no cram school teacher real-name registration system. Under the guidance of professional marketing team, Huo Yuanjia became a national hero.
Later, Huo Yuanjia, who suffered from chronic diseases for many years, died less than a year after becoming the coach of Jason Wu Gymnastics Association. Everyone gave him a plaque that read "Renyi". A great master will remain in our hearts forever, although we can't tell what it means to be He Ren.
Huo Yuanjia's life, in the writer's pen, changed from a sick yellow-faced tiger to a martial arts expert. Finally, he made many TV and movies and became a generation of heroes, who will live in the hearts of China people forever.
