Yangtze river warrior
Killing Japanese ronin and American champion Lv Zijian is a legendary life. In fact, people know Lv Zijian's story from his self-reported memories when he was 1 16 years old, but it was this autobiography that made him an old liar who was accused by everyone.
What did he say that led to controversy after death? What is his life like?
Born in a Wulin family, he studied medicine since childhood and made many friends with chivalrous men.
1893, Lv Changgui
Born in a martial arts family by the Yanming Lake in Hong Men Town, Hubei Province, my grandfather opened it locally.
Changsheng Escort Agency, father is a famous local boxer, and mother is proficient.
Wudang is a kung fu master, and his mother is Lu Changgui's first teacher. At the age of seven, he began to practice boxing with his mother.
But from a martial arts family, Lu Changgui preferred medical skills, and his parents also supported his idea to send Lu Changgui to study in Central yiguang, Hubei. At the same time, Lu Changgui's martial arts talent has also been recognized by Wudang teachers.

After being recognized, 12-year-old Lu Changgui became his disciple.
1906, Lu Changgui's father was arrested and sentenced to death by the Qing government for saving a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. On the day of execution, 13-year-old Lv Changgui followed his mother and others to the execution ground. With extraordinary courage and superb martial arts, they overthrew the executioner and risked their lives to save their father. From then on, the whole family fled to Yichang, Hubei. In order to escape the wanted man, Lu Changgui officially changed his name to.
Lv Zijian.
According to his father's entrustment, Lv Zijian came to Wudang Mountain alone to pay homage to Gan Yi, the head of Wudang Wulong Sect 1 1.

As a teacher, Lv Zijian practiced martial arts hard for eight years.
Dragon's Palm, Bagua Palm, Eight Immortals Sword, Bagua Rolling Hall Double Knife
Waiting for martial arts. Martial arts, ready to go down the mountain, Xu Benshan repeatedly told Lv Zijian:
Wudang Mountain does not grow rootless grass, and Baguamen wants to preach virtue.
Lv Zijian was advised to be chivalrous and upright, and Lv Zijian kept it in mind.
Later, Lv Zijian learned from Mount Emei.
Li Changye, study
Boxing and various instruments were handed down from family to family until I went to Beiping at the age of 23 and joined the Qianmen overpass.
Yin fu, learned to swim bagua palm. Later, domestic work and wandering gossip became Lv Zijian's stunts.
During this period, Lv Zijian met many heroes, the most famous of which were Yanzi, Li Sanhe and Huo Yuanjia. At the same time, he does not forget chivalry. Once Yuan Shikai's men bullied women by drinking, and Lv Zijian beat him unconscious with his dragon's paw. But because of this, Lv Zijian couldn't stay in Peiping any longer. With the help of his friends, he fled to Shanghai to be a private boxer for a real estate boss.
Because the real estate boss's three sons are stubborn and often make trouble outside, and Lv Zijian has to solve it repeatedly, he has gradually gained a certain reputation in Shanghai.
Just then, Huo Yuanjia also came to Shanghai from Tianjin. He asked Lv Zijian to help start a martial arts school. These two men beat foreigners many times, giving China people a good sigh. Unfortunately, Huo Yuanjia died young. According to Huo Yuanjia's dying entrustment, Lv Zijian later often helped Huo Yuanjia's family.
He killed the Japanese ronin and the American champion for decades.
1924, chairman of Minsheng shipping company.
Lu Zuofu
Can't stand the transportation companies of Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries occupying the Yangtze River transportation for a long time, oppressing China's transportation industry and protesting to the companies of these countries. The Japanese company sent a company called
Mitsui Hisuo
Ronin, ready to teach the people of China a lesson, Ronin fist, injured dozens of China compatriots in succession.
Lu Zuofu had no choice. He quickly found Lv Zijian and asked him to help solve the problem. Lv Zijian decisively agreed. After putting down the ring, the two sides signed a contract of life and death. At this time, Mitsui made a provocative move and said arrogantly, "Kill you! Kill you! "
Lv Zijian didn't talk nonsense. He's so lucky. He flies around. After only ten rounds, Mitsui lost his foothold and sweated profusely. At this time, Lv Zijian felt very comfortable, his steps were fast, and his right hand became a fist. Hei Hu's mind is written in the middle of Mitsui's mind. He was just about to take a palm with his left hand, but he saw Mitsui had vomited blood and fell dead.
Lu Zuofu was overjoyed. He held a grand banquet and wanted to give Lv Zijian a large sum of money, but Lv Zijian refused. He just told Lu Zuofu to do more for the people in the future. Since then, Lu Zuofu has really helped more refugees, and the transportation industry has prospered.
When people heard about it, they admired Lv Zijian very much, and from then on, they called him "the Great Warrior of the Yangtze River".
1937, 44-year-old Lv Zijian went to Nanjing Yuhuatai to find friends, but just in time for the Japanese soldiers to drive people into the city. Lv Zijian used his quick wits, picked a pole from the roadside divination booth, carried it on his shoulder and swaggered outside the city. The Japanese thought he was a traitor and ignored him, so Lv Zijian dodged a bullet.
Then the Japanese invaders launched the Nanjing Massacre, which shocked China and foreign countries, and made Lv Zijian hate the Japanese.
In a subsequent challenge competition, Lv Zijian won the championship after 6 days 12, which also attracted Chiang Kai-shek's attention, and specially invited Lv Zijian as his attendant martial arts instructor. Professor Lv Zijian's "three-point knife" was popularized in the army, and since then it has played a great role in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
1945, after a round of negotiations in Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek and Marshall began to hold a dance in the evening. While dancing, Marshall suggested that the United States and China should each have a master to learn from each other, so that everyone can open their eyes. Marshall was killed by a man named
Tom Newham
Personal bodyguard, he is a champion in L.A., and he has never lost in China.
In China, this is the bodyguard of General Feng Yuxiang.
Zhang Hai, the two played less than ten rounds, and Zhang Hai's chin was dislocated by a hook. Tom said proudly, "China has so many gestures."
This made Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang lose face. At this time, Zhang Hai recommended Lv Zijian, but Lv Zijian hesitated. He is not afraid of being beaten, but of killing people. But Tom was more excited when he heard these words. He insisted on signing a life-and-death contract with Lv Zijian.
Lv Zijian had no choice but to fight. After the war, Tom got a few heavy punches, but he escaped easily in the posture of Lv Zijian. Since then, although Tom's fist can wipe his sleeve, he can't touch Lv Zijian's meat. The more he fought, the more impatient he became, but the speed of punching slowed down. Seeing that he was exhausted, Lv Zijian used a set of eight diagrams palms, first hitting him on the head, and then hitting Tom's left rib with a black heart in his right hand, making him scream and fall to the ground on the spot.
See Tom didn't move, the audience also quieted down, see Marshall embarrassed face, Chiang Kai-shek immediately great anger, ordered Lv Zijian removed from his post to reflect.
Two days later, Tom died completely, and Feng Yuxiang also wrote a secret letter to Lv Zijian:
Be careful when you are alone.
In a few days, Chiang Kai-shek will reinstate Lv Zijian, while Lv Zijian has already resigned and lived in seclusion in Chongqing, devoting himself to studying medical skills.
In his later years, he practiced medicine and cured diseases, and cultivated himself, at the age of 100.
Lv Zijian combined his medical skills with his own family kungfu to create a whole set.
Lv Zijian used his qigong and acupuncture therapy to cure 100 patients suffering from malignant night blindness and constipation when he was in the Xinzang Highway Construction Team of the Fifth Engineering Bureau of Karakorum Mountain.
In the 1960s, with Lv Zijian's experience, he could not escape the blow. He was sentenced to ten years' reeducation through labor in Xinjiang.
1968, in Aksu, a Uighur girl and a Han youth suddenly got a strange disease on their wedding night, and both of them fainted and were unconscious. Lv Zijian, who heard the news, found a new acupuncture therapy after checking their condition and successfully cured them. Locals praised him for his excellent medical skills and called him "Hu Da" of the Han nationality.
It was not until 1979 that 86-year-old Lv Zijian was able to return to Chongqing to reunite with his family. Since then, he has won the championship in Wushu competitions held in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province and Emei Mountain, Sichuan Province.
1984 invited members of the 6th CPPCC in Chongqing Central District.
From 65438 to 0986, Lv Zijian founded the "Yuzhou Purple Sword Martial Arts School" in Chongqing, and taught martial arts equipment such as Bagua Palm, Wudang Sword, Dragon Palm and Juan Tang Knife. , and teach Wudang health internal strength, with Chinese medicine to save lives.
The son of boxing champion Tom also came to the ribbon-cutting scene and joined hands with Lv Zijian to cut the ribbon, which made Lv Zijian very moved and untied a knot.
1993, Lv Zijian celebrated his centenary birthday at his home in Chongqing, and hundreds of disciples came from all over the country to celebrate his birthday. The scene is spectacular and attracts worldwide attention.
In 2000, it was awarded the National Gold Medal for the Health of the Elderly by the State Sports General Administration and Wushu Management Center as follows:
"China Wulin Master" and "Yangtze River Hero", nine sections of national martial arts.
1/After kloc-0/0 years old, Lv Zijian still practices martial arts every day, with clear and consistent moves and strong standards.
In 20 12, Lv Zijian died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 1 18, and more than a thousand disciples came to pay their respects.
The recall of the flawed self-report caused endless controversy after Lv Zijian's death.
1 16 years old, Lv Zijian dictated his life experience, and named this memoir "The motherland is rich and strong is my greatest wish". The above is excerpted from his memoirs. But it was this memoir that plunged Lv Zijian into endless controversy after his death. Many people questioned his age and experience, and some even mentioned him so far, saying that he was an "old liar" addicted to fantasy.
1, the first is Lv Zijian's real age.
According to Long's Notes on Yichang Wushu in Volume 5 1986 of Yichang Literature and History Materials:
Lv Zijian is currently the president of Chongqing Baguazhang Research Association. He is over 70 years old, with a long silver beard and still in good health.
In this way, Lv Zijian should at least be born after 00, not 1893 as he said.
Secondly, according to the academic circles, since the fall of Li Wencai, the rest of Shi Dakai, in 1872 in Datang, Guizhou, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has completely disappeared. Even if Lv Zijian was born in 1893, when he was 13 years old, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been extinct for 34 years, and his father could not save the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom generals at this time.
Thirdly, as mentioned above, Lv Zijian went to Beiping at the age of 23, during which he met Huo Yuanjia and became his brother. According to his age, it is probably 19 16 or even later. But in fact, Huo Yuanjia died as early as 19 10. At that time, Lv Zijian was still practicing martial arts in Wudang Mountain, and there was a serious deviation in time.
2. Are the two competitions in which Lv Zijian became famous true or false?
Hit the Japanese ronin.
China New Sanda Athletes
Li yang
20 1 1, he openly questioned Lv Zijian's self-reported experience: "Usually, people with social common sense can find all kinds of flaws".
What is even more unrealistic is that Lv Zijian killed Hideo Mitsui, and the Japanese not only did not retaliate, but also gave up the fat transported by the Yangtze River. This is obviously a plot that will only appear in movies and novels.
Hit an American boxer.
Marshall arrived in Shanghai by special plane on 1945, and met Chiang Kai-shek at the official residence of the Central Military Academy on Huangpu Road in Nanjing the next day. In other words, even if there is this competition, it will be in Nanjing, not Chongqing. Marshall later visited Chongqing, but Feng Yuxiang was not among the delegates.
3. The authenticity of Lv Zijian's reputation.
In the complete list of generals issued by the Nanjing government of the Republic of China, Lv Zijian was not found to be a major general.
The Chinese Wushu Association has never issued a certificate of "Master of Wushu".
Lv Zijian is not a liar. In fact, most of his disputes come from the "killing" of his disciples.
Many people say that Lv Zijian is an out-and-out fake master and an old liar. But if you think about it carefully, the fact that the public really knows the name Lv Zijian and all his related disputes comes from his self-report that "the prosperity of the motherland is my greatest wish".
However, at the time of writing this work, Lv Zijian was 1 16 years old. If he really wanted to cheat, why did he do it at this time? He died two years later, but this job left him with decades of stigma. Why would he do that?
Moreover, Lv Zijian's granddaughter also inherited his mantle, continued to study medical skills and martial arts, and won the national martial arts championship. If Lv Zijian is really a poor old man without skills, it is impossible to train his granddaughter into such an achievement.
There is still a video of Lv Zijian's performance in his later years, when he was swimming with bagua palm and various instruments. A white-haired old man, his posture is still flexible, and his boxing is quite powerful. Thus, even if Lv Zijian is not as old as he said, he is by no means an ordinary person.
However, we have to admit that there are exaggerations and inaccuracies in Lv Zijian's self-report.
Lv Zijian suffered a brain injury in 2009. Since then, his memory has become worse and worse. At such a big age, it is easy to confuse his experience with other things, and naturally he will not remember the time so clearly. Moreover, old people of his age are proud and like to exaggerate their past experiences, which is understandable.
What really got Lv Zijian into controversy was his disciples.
After Lv Zijian's death, his disciples began to "promote" China Wushu in his name, but in the process, it gradually changed its flavor. Some people want to enroll students in their own martial arts schools, while others want to make movies in the name of Lv Zijian. In order to attract people, these disciples praised the martial arts of Lv Zijian and China so much that they later aroused people's dissatisfaction.
Just like the films Huo Yuanjia and Huang Feihong, most of the stories were fabricated by later generations, while Huang Feihong, who died as early as 1924, was not selected as a "Guangdong historical and cultural celebrity" because most of his descriptions in folk circulation and film and television works were unreliable. Lv Zijian was even worse, and was directly reduced to a liar.
Lv Zijian himself is a master of kung fu, and there is nothing wrong with him. The fault lies in the disciple's excessive admiration for him. Perhaps it is also the tragedy of Lv Zijian that peaches and plums are everywhere.
