Huo Yuanjia was born in a martial arts family in Xiaonanhe Village, Jinghai County, Hebei Province, and was frail since he was a child and was strictly forbidden to practice martial arts.

However, this could not stop him from practicing martial arts, he secretly practiced martial arts, and realized the truth of martial arts while watching eagles and snakes fight.

Of course, this is nonsense, if you can practice peerless martial arts by watching eagles and snakes fight each other, then who will practice kung fu hard.

But this kind of storytelling is legendary, which shows that Huo Yuanjia's martial arts talent is super high, and a generation of grandmasters can't do without a little difference.

Then, in order to hone his martial arts, he challenged everywhere and competed with masters from various sects.

This is a kung fu movie, and the fight scenes are especially important, and fifty minutes of the eighty-minute story are all about fighting.

Lin Zixuan borrowed the style of later kung fu films, focusing on cool fights, and the movements were crisp and neat, never dragging mud and water.

Unlike some scenes of martial arts competitions in reality, the two have to wander around, and then test each other, and when they really do it, more than ten minutes have passed, which is too wasteful of time, and the audience will never be satisfied.

This is the difference between the fights in the movie and the martial arts routines in life.

You could say it's fake, but it does look like it's feeling.

Lin Zixuan gave kung fu movies a bad start here, so that there will be almost no real fights in kung fu movies in the future.

In a series of dazzling competitions, Huo Yuanjia's reputation became more and more famous, and he was known as the first master of Jinmen.

In 1900, Wang Zibin, a famous man in the capital, was shot by the Qing court in the capital, and his head was hung on the city gate to show the public, and his family could not bury Wang Wu.

After Huo Yuanjia heard about it, he rushed to the capital from Tianjin alone, took advantage of the night to climb the city tower with a hook lock, took off Wang Wu's head, and buried it in the ground.

This incident only appears in legendary stories and is not true, but it can show Huo Yuanjia's chivalrous spirit.

From the audience's quite touching reaction, we know that this kind of plot of sympathy between heroes in the context of the family and country is the most touching.

At this time, the Russian Hercules appeared on the stage, set up the ring in Tianjin, and said that he wanted to challenge the masters of the Tianjin martial arts world, Huo Yuanjia happily went to fight the Russian Hercules.

In the concession, the best thing to look for is the White Russians.

Because of the October Revolution in Russia in 1917, 7,000 Russian refugees, including a large number of nobles, flocked to Shanghai.

In the Public Concession, they mainly live in the vicinity of the Moses Hall on Huade Road, Tilanqiao, Hongkou.

In the French Concession, most of them lived in the area of Luban Road, Huanlong Road, and Father Jin Road, and made a living by opening clothing stores, bakeries, and cafes in the middle of Xiafei Road.

The aristocrats were well educated, of course they were doing well, and they could find a job at the worst.

But there are also ordinary people, living in poverty and destitute, as long as they give money, they are willing to do anything.

The Russian Hercules in the film is a homeless man found from the White Russian ghetto, as long as he is given wine, he does not care about being beaten.

Here is a small peak, Huo Yuanjia rose in the ring for the first time, and kicked the Russians out of the ring with a series of kicks, thus confirming the name of the number one master in Jinmen.

In fact, Huo Yuanjia did not compete with the Russian Hercules, in that era, the real competition with the Russian Hercules was Sun Lutang, who was known as the "Martial God".

Born in 1860, Sun Lutang was a master of Xingyi Boxing, who later practiced Baguazhang and finally founded Sun-style Taijiquan.

Once, the Qing Dynasty held a grand scale of "World Heroes Meeting" in the suburbs of Beijing, that is, the martial arts conference, inviting the martial arts masters of the north and south to come to the competition.

In 1908, Petrov, the champion of Russian and European martial arts, passed through Mukden, and at the suggestion of the Russian legation, Petrov and Sun Tangtang had a contest, and Sun Lutang won.

Movies are artistic processing, and by mixing the deeds of other martial artists, they are creating legends.

After defeating the Russian Hercules, Huo Yuanjia became famous all over the world, and a new challenge came.

British Hercules set up a ring in Shanghai to challenge the world's masters, for a while, Shanghai Beach was boiling, and many martial arts masters took the stage to compete, all of whom were defeated by the British with heavy punches, and some even died on the spot.

This fully shows the cruel and ferocious side of the British Hercules, and in order to show the British manpower, he also performed a one-handed gravel performance.

This is a bit exaggerated, in fact, the stone is fake, the inside is hollow, a punch down, the gravel splashes, very shocking.

Playing the British Hercules is Douglas Sheila, an American who performs in the spirit of internationalism, who is actually having a lot of fun and is very interested in how to shoot kung fu films.

The British are more conservative, while the Americans have an open and entertaining mindset, and it's just about making movies.

After the failures of other martial arts masters, the protagonist makes his debut in anticipation and starts a big duel.

There is no heroine in the whole movie, and the time to reduce the drama to the minimum is a customs clearance game that goes all the way, and it has always maintained a high degree of tension, so that the audience doesn't even have time to go to the toilet.

The final decisive battle did not disappoint the audience, Huo Yuanjia and British Hercules fought for more than ten minutes, full of tricks.

The British Hercules first had the advantage, and Huo Yuanjia had no power to fight back, and even grabbed Huo Yuanjia above his head and fell to the ground, but fortunately, Huo Yuanjia was light, flying in the air, and landed safely.

Huo Yuanjia launched a counterattack, and the two sides saw blood, and their fists were to the flesh, which can be described as extremely tragic.

When both of them were exhausted, Huo Yuanjia suddenly used a trick and hit the British Hercules in the eye, making him unable to see anything, and then kicked the British man out of the ring.

The audience watched this fight very enjoyable, because there was no such movie before, and the fights on the stage of Peking Opera were all showy, where is there such a bloody and real scene.

The audience feels real, and that's enough.

It's not that they don't know that the movies they shoot are all fake, but after watching the movies, they just feel real.

When emotions are put into a movie, the human senses bring about illusions.

The story is not over, Huo Yuanjia has become a national hero, the Japanese martial arts hall opened in Hongkou is not convinced, and wants to compete with Huo Yuanjia, Huo Yuanjia showed his might in the Japanese dojo and defeated the Japanese instructor.

At this time, a Japanese doctor knew that Huo Yuanjia practiced martial arts in his early years and had lung disease, so he prescribed a pair of medicines to Huo Yuanjia.

A few days later, Huo Yuanjia was sent to the hospital and died.

At the end of the film, the members of the Jingwu Gymnastics Club saw Huo Yuanjia off and issued the slogan "Shangwu".

The music of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" sounded, the tune was impassioned, and the lyrics were shocking.

Anyway, it's going to be sensational, and it's not going to be fatal.

Most of the people who were able to attend the premiere were the children of rich families in Shanghai, but there were also people in the film industry and ordinary audiences, and in this environment, some young people who were easily excited could no longer sit still and shouted loudly.

The steady ones applaud vigorously, China has been weak for a long time, and it is time to wake up.

Although this is a fictional legend, it can touch the hearts of Chinese in this era.
