China and Henan Province has a vast territory, rich products and outstanding people. It was called "Central Plains" in ancient times, probably because simple people at that time mistakenly thought that Henan was the center of China. Today, some foreigners who have traveled to Henan will say an unwritten saying like "You are not a hero until you reach the Great Wall"-you will not be China until you reach Henan, which, I think, mostly comes from the inheritance of history. Among them, the contribution made by Henan people to the inheritance and development of China Wushu has an extraordinary surprise, which is indispensable. As far as traditional Wushu is concerned, as we all know, Shaolin and Taiji, the two most influential martial arts schools in China and even in the world, both originated in Henan Province. In the 1990s, in a small mountain village called Zhu Lin in Zhu Lin Town, gongyi city, Henan Province, a martial arts model with the most China characteristics and profound connotation-track boxing was born. Its founder is the protagonist of this article, Mr. Li Zijian, who is known as a "madman" in the martial arts world.

The great proletarian cultural revolution in China began at 1968. Li Zijian, who was only 18 years old, became a "class enemy" because of the so-called "family background" problem. That year, Li Zijian was in the first grade of junior high school, and was forced to terminate his studies, leave his beloved school, receive reform education, and go out to work with other laborers in the village. He was confused by the sudden blow. What's all this for?

At that time, he was less than one and a half meters tall and weighed only 50 Jin. It is not too much to describe his physical condition in the early days of the Cultural Revolution with "frail and sickly". But as a "class enemy", Li Zijian had to obey the distribution. In the words that Mr. Wang recalled that hard experience, "I have done almost all the farm work in the mountain village, such as quarrying stones on the mountain, carrying grain in the field, feeding pigs and herding sheep, and watching the mountain forest protection." When he was young, he and strong laborers carried more than 200 kilograms of stones together and stumbled down the rugged mountain road countless times, making his head bleed; I carried 100 kilograms of grain bags by myself, giving up halfway countless times, panting. But for political reasons, people seldom show any sympathy and pity for this childish "political prisoner"; However, some people with ulterior motives taunted him with words, slandered and insulted him viciously. It can be said that he looked at each other and was speechless, which is the best manners.

Physical injuries and cruel blows to the will are destroying Li Zijian's mind when he first set foot in it. But for all this, he can endure, endure to the limit. There is only one thing that hurts him the most, and even almost drives him to the wall, and that is to ban him from reading and studying.

Li Zijian was born in a teacher's family. Not only did he master a lot of cultural knowledge before going to school, but he was also fascinated by studying at school and had an unparalleled interest in learning. Although he only had a junior high school education for half a year and "only learned rational numbers in mathematics", his knowledge at that time had reached the level of high school students. There were 53 students in the same year, but he was the only one who had no formal high school education. Whenever this matter is mentioned, Mr. Wang is always in a daze. Indeed, this is an unspeakable bitterness.
