Recently, Jet Li's movie, ¡¶»ôÔª¼×¡· (Huo Yuan Jia) - "Fearless" has become very popular among us...
Do you know who is Huo Yuan Jia?
I shall now introduce him to all of you
Huo Yuan Jia (»ôÔª¼×)
Huo Yuan Jia (»ôÔª¼×)
Huo Yuan Jia was born in 1868 in Tian Jin, China
He was the second child in his family
As Huo Yuan Jia's body was very weak when he was very young, he had always get bullied by other children in his residential area...
Thus, his father, »ô¶÷µÚ (Huo En Di) did not allow him to learn martial arts
This was because Huo's family's martial arts was very well-known at that time
Huo En Di was afraid that Huo Yuan Jia would ruin the image of his family if he were to be allowed to learn martial arts
However, Huo Yuan Jia, who had been very interested in martial arts did not give up learning martial arts...
He would peep at his father and his brothers whenever they were practicing their martial arts
Huo Yuan Jia would then practice them in a jungle near his house
One day, he was found practising martial arts by his father and was punished by his father
Huo Yuan Jia begged his father to teach him martial arts and promised that he will not compete with any other people to avoid ruining his family image
Huo En Di them allowed him to learn martial arts together with his brothers4
Accordingly, Huo Yuan Jia's kung fu improved much faster than his brothers
Autumn 1890, a martial arts expert came to challenge Huo's family
Huo Yuan Jia's younger brother, »ôÔªÇä (Huo Yuan Qing) try to fight with him, but was beaten down badly by him
When Huo En Di was very angry and try to fight with him personally, Huo Yuan Jia had already run towards the challenger
Huo En Di tried to stop Huo Yuan Jia, but failed...
Huo En Di was very afraid that Huo Yuan Jia will be beaten down by the challenger
However, Huo Yuan Jia beat down the challenger very easily and this surprised other people
Once, when Huo Yuan Jia migrated to other city, he was trying to run some business
However, some gangsters stopped him from doing so and ask some so-called "protection fee" from him
Those gangsters were all well-occupied with weapons
However, Huo Yuan Jia beat down all of them easily
According to my research, many kung fu experts from other countries had tried to challenge Huo Yuan Jia
Huo Yuan Jia accept all those challenges and won them easily
Some of the challenger (like the ones from ¶í¹ú and England) did not turn up the competition as they were all afraid of Huo Yuan Jia
I am aware that movies have always shown that Huo Yuan Jia did fight with them in order to attract us to watch the movie
1909£¬ Japan sent some ten or twenty experts to challenge Huo Yuan Jia
Huo Yuan Jia was ill, so he sent his disciple, ÁõÕñÉù (Liu Zhen Sheng) to accept the challenge
In the records, Huo Yuan Jia's only disciple is Liu Zhen Sheng
Some movies show that Huo Yuan Jia had a disciple name ³ÂÕæ (Chen Zhen), but this character is actually not exist in the history
Liu Zhen Sheng beat down 5 challenger without using much effort
Japan's top kung fu expert was very angry and tried to fight with him personally
However, he had lost to Huo Yuan Jia
Japan admit lost
Huo Yuan Jia attended a party organised by Japan
In the party, Japan knew that Huo Yuan Jia is ill and introduce a doctor named ÇïÒ° (Qiu Ye) to him
Huo Yuan Jia's illness become worse and worse day by day, and he passed away at the age of 42 at September 14, 1910
After he passed away, his family took the drugs prescribed by the doctor to examine
It was found that the drugs is a kind of ÂýÐÔÀ÷ÎÒ© (drug which will make someone's lungs rotten slowly)
Ok, I'll stop writing here...
I refer Huo Yuan Jia's information from around ten websites
Hopefully all of you would enjoy reading it~!
