He is a well-known hero with outstanding martial arts and justice. He inherited the family stunt of "losing fist" and made great achievements in Tianjin and Shanghai. Although his life is short, it is vigorous and full of legend.

all one's life

Huo Yuanjia was born in a family of Fan Wei Boxing (also known as Yanqing Boxing, which is said to have been created by Liangshan heroes Lu Junyi and Yanqing). Father Huo is a bodyguard. Huo Dean has three sons: Huo Yuanqing, Huo Yuanjia and Huo Yuandong, and Yuanjia ranks second. It is said that Huo Yuanjia was weak when he was young, and his father, Huo Dian, wouldn't let him practice martial arts. But Huo Yuanjia practiced secretly, and defeated a foreign master at the age of 24. This legend was made into a TV series.

As an adult, Huo Yuanjia managed a pharmacy in Tianjin, and later came to Shanghai to hold the "Jason Wu Games" (Jingwumen), which made great contributions to the development of martial arts in China. In Shanghai, he once defeated the Russian Hercules in the ring (according to the data, the Russian Hercules was not defeated by Huo Yuanjia himself, but the Russian boxer gave up the game when Huo Yuanjia agreed to play. ) Once the Japanese Hercules came to China to ask for a competition, Huo Yuanjia sent his disciple Liu Zhensheng to take part in the competition because of illness, and as a result, he defeated Japanese Lux. Jason Wu Sports Association is a martial arts school founded by Huo Yuanjia in 19 10. Huo Yuanjia died a few months after the Jason Wu Sports Association was founded. Yuanjia was poisoned by the Chamber of Commerce and died.

Huo Yuanjia was sickly when he was young. His father, Huo, is a famous secret boxing master. He was worried that Yuan Jia's martial arts would damage the reputation of the Huo family in the future and refused to teach him art. However, Yuan Jia was ambitious and kept an eye on it every day, observing everywhere and stealing his father's art and passing it on to his brothers. Practicing hard in the seclusion of Zaolin outside the house. After the father knows, he is responsible. Yuanjia promised never to compete with others and not to humiliate the appearance of the Huo family, so that his father and brother could practice martial arts together. Yuanjia is talented and has amazing perseverance, while his brother is overactive and is the best among the brothers. Seeing this, my father changed his old ideas and taught him carefully. Later, the Yuan family took martial arts as their friends, combined with the strengths of various families, and developed the ancestral "secret boxing" into "lost boxing", which made the ancestral boxing reach a new peak.

In the 22nd year of Guangxu reign (1896), Liu Zhensheng, a great Shandong warrior, came to Tianjin to worship God at the entrance of Yuanjia. Huo Chaqi's integrity made him a disciple. From then on, it broke the precedent of Huo Jiaquan's "internal transmission but not external transmission". Yuan is brave and righteous. In the 24th year of Guangxu (1898), Tan Sitong was killed in the political reform, and the broadsword Wang Wu (Wang Zibin) took refuge in Guinness and became close friends with Yuanjia. After Wang Zibin was killed in Beijing, he was made public by Eight-Nation Alliance. Yuanjia and Liu Zhensheng sneaked into the capital and stole back to the top of the mountain. With the help of Liu E, the author of Travel Notes of Lao Can, they were buried together and made friends.

In the 27th year of Guangxu (190 1), a Russian came to Tianjin and performed in a theater. He advertised in the newspaper, claiming to be the world's first Hercules, and he was invincible in China. Huo Yuanjia saw the advertisement and heard that the Russians also made irresponsible remarks on the spot, insulting the incompetence of China people. He was very angry. He immediately invited Nong Sun Jin, the owner of Huaiqing Hall, and his apprentice Liu Zhensheng to go to the theatre, and saw the Russian Hercules boasting that he was "the world's first Hercules" on the stage. If the "sick man's country" has the ability, it can compete on the stage. Huo Yuanjia couldn't sit still in the audience, regardless of everyone's dissuasion. He sprang onto the stage and said bluntly, "I am Huo Yuanjia, the sick man of East Asia, and I would like to compete with you on this stage." At this time, the translator informed the Russians about Huo Yuanjia's life. When the Russians heard about Huo Yuanjia's prestige, they dared not neglect it. He hurriedly let Huo Yuanjia into the background. Huo Yuanjia accused the Russians on the spot: "Why insult me, China?" And put forward three conditions: first, re-advertise, to get rid of the saying that Russians are "the world's number one"; The second is to ask the Russians to publicly admit their mistakes in insulting China and publicly apologize; Otherwise, it is the third condition: my teacher Huo will get to the bottom of it and order him to make a decisive decision. How dare a bully is always a coward's Russian lux take part in the competition? Therefore, I have to agree to the first two conditions. I am willing to publish a newspaper to correct and publicly admit my mistake of despising the people of China, and thus leave Tientsin despondently.

In Xuantong Yuannian (1909), the British strongman Ou Paiyin advertised in Shanghai and slandered me as "the sick man of East Asia". Huo Yingyou was invited to Shanghai for an appointment. Being awed by Huo Yuanjia's fist, the other party threatened Tiger Gold, and Yuanjia, with the support of his friends, promised to mortgage Tiger Gold. The other party repeatedly delayed, and Yuan Jia advertised in the newspaper, saying, "The world laughs at China as a sick country, and I am a sick man in a sick country, and I am willing to try with healthy people all over the world." He claimed that "he specializes in recruiting foreign giants. Although they are steel, they have nothing to worry about! Huo Gong's power made Ou Pian run away without daring to fight, even the notaries and handlers ran away.

19 10 June 10, Huo Yuanjia founded the "China Gymnastics Club" (later renamed as the Sports Club) in Shanghai with the assistance of martial arts colleagues such as Nong. Dr. Sun Yat-sen praised Huo Yuanjia's belief that "a strong country will dominate, and everyone will practice martial arts", as well as his noble character and moral integrity, which made Huojia Boxing known to the world. He personally wrote four characters of "Martial Spirit" and presented them to Jason Wu Sports Association. 19 10 In September, the president of Japan Judo Association led more than ten martial arts masters to compete with Huo, who defeated him. The Japanese hosted a banquet. During the dinner, Huo choked and coughed, and recommended Japanese doctors for treatment. Huo Gong lived an open life and died of accidental poisoning in September 14. At the age of 42.

After Huo Yuanjia's death, disciples of Wu Jinghui and patriots of Shanghai Wushu held a grand funeral for Huo Yuanjia, and presented an elegy of "Different people have different opinions", which was buried in the northern suburb of Shanghai. The following year, disciples helped to send the coffin back to Li and moved it to the south of Xiaonanhe Village. Shanghai Jason Wu Club is coached by Yuanjia's younger brother Yuan Qing and his second son Dong Ge. Branches have been set up in various places. After more than ten years, Jason Wu has 43 branches at home and abroad with more than 400,000 members.

Legend has it that after Huo Yuanjia was poisoned by the Japanese, his disciple Zhen Chen avenged him. This legend was first put on the screen by Bruce Lee in the late 1960s and early 1970s (the film Jingwumen, with Bruce Lee as Zhen Chen). But in fact, there is no "Zhen Chen" in history.

In addition to personally directing the MV, Jay Chou even danced a whole street dance "Wu Fan Dance" in the MV!

For the idol Jet Li, Jay Chou can be said to be "Huo"!

Jay Chou is the idol of many people, but the idol Jay Chou also has his own idol. This time he cooperated with his idol Jet Li, and he was very cautious. Jay Chou not only wrote the theme song of Huo Yuanjia with the same name, but also urged vincent fang's lyrics to conform to the essence of the film. Sure enough, in the lyrics, "Who is the best in the world?" Stop fighting, my generation is martial. "or" live proudly ... "and so on, all of which show the spirit that Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li wants to convey in this film and the message of awakening young people to cherish life! And Jay Chou's interpretation of the high notes in the song is delicate and distinctive, which can be said to be the genius of this song! He smiled and said, "When you see an idol, you must write a rooster song. Personally, I am very satisfied with this song!

This dance was compiled for a week, and I practiced for two days. My dance cells are not very good, but fortunately there are dancers to help me. " This kind of dance originated from the lock dance, which is a kind of dance developed by westerners with reference to China Wushu. The choreographer chose Locking, whose hip-hop style is closest to oriental martial arts, to run through the main dance axis of the whole song, and designed this innovative dance step with reference to Jet Li's film works. In addition, Jay Chou's special fan creativity has added Chinese flavor, so he developed this new dance which combines western hip-hop and China martial arts, which is an unprecedented new style!

And Jet Li's three-cudgel play in the movie Huo Yuanjia also inspired Jay Chou. He said with surprise: "The three-section stick bought two years ago can finally come in handy!" Jay kept this three-legged stick in the locker room until he bought it. It was not until there was a segment in the movie "Huo Yuanjia" in which Jet Li hit the three-cudgel that Jay Chou carefully found out and applied it in the MV. He also slowed down and carefully studied Jet Li's movements in the movie, and played three sticks in the MV! Jay Chou said, "Jet Li played beautifully in the movie! I feel that the loser didn't lose the battle. Although not a martial arts person, MV still hopes to make some efforts with the movie clips. " In the MV, Jay Chou allows both "dancing" and "martial arts", and the picture is dazzling! For the idol Jet Li, it can be said that the whole person is "Huo"!

"There is a lot of pressure to write songs for idol movies, but a sweet load is the turning point of my music!" Jay Chou, the little king of music, faced his idol Jet Li with a rare shyness.

Jet Li said, "He sings faster than I do boxing. I'm a music idiot. I am 42 years old, 13 or 4 years old. I can't chat with my little sister, but through him, I have the opportunity to let young people listen to my heart. It feels great, like rekindling the vitality of youth. " When Jet Li, a martial arts superstar, talked about Jay Chou's talent in music creation, he was completely convinced and passionate.

⊙ Jay Chou big show girl accent

Jet Li's New Year's martial arts film "Huo Yuanjia", the theme song invited Jay Chou to compose and lead singer, was first exposed in Hongkong yesterday. Jay Chou-style China music style, especially Jay Chou, shows a falsetto similar to "female voice". Jay Chou said, "I made this song quickly. When I saw Jay, I was inspired. I heard Jay say that movies should express real martial arts, so I immediately told the lyricist Fang Gang.

"I debuted for six years, and my idol has always been Jet Li. I have seen every one of his films, and I have long dreamed of making music for his films. " Jay Chou confessed to making the theme song of the film. "I didn't take a dime. This is a dream of idolatry and cooperation with idols, but it is more active than making any record. " Jet Li stressed, "He really didn't take the money. It is fate, it is feelings. Jay Chou is the idol of children. Through his singing, he expressed the meaning of life. This sincerity has exceeded the value of money. "

As an "idol of young people", Jet Li said, "Of course I'm happy. I also had a young age of 20. Now that people are in middle age, they have to say a lot to repeat a truth, but Jay can express what I said for 20 minutes in one line. " Jet Li watched the MV cut by Jay Chou for the theme song of the movie, and was surprised to find that "Jay Chou has the passion to be a director. Don't forget to ask me to be an actor in the future, so that I can play some movies full of young passion for this role without any burden. "

Kung fu emperor pays attention to teenagers' suicide

Jet Li said, "Nearly 280,000 young people commit suicide every year in China, and the problem is quite serious. The great message of the movie Huo Yuanjia is to awaken young people to cherish life. " Why is this my last "martial arts film"? "Because I made Huo Yuanjia at the age of 42, I integrated my feelings in life into the era of Huo Yuanjia, used martial arts and philosophical artistic conception to express my attachment to China culture, discussed the meaning of life, talked about what martial arts is, and summarized the martial arts of China, Thailand and. After this film, there are not many people who talk about martial arts. "

But Jet Li explained: "There are differences between action, kung fu, martial arts and martial arts films. As long as there is an action rhythm, it is an action movie. For example, the word' Kung Fu' also has the concept of time. For example, this film has been filmed for a long time, and the martial arts film is a dream world, and martial arts is a kind of persistence. When I say I don't shoot martial arts movies, it doesn't mean I don't shoot action movies or commercial martial arts movies. "

Heroes in Shuang Jie cherish heroes, and give each other "Huo Family Boxing Score" and "Theme Music Score". Jay Chou said with a smile: "You can't learn boxing, just watch a movie." Jet Li said, "The lyrics have mastered the essence and significance of the boxing spectrum."
