Martial artist stories are urgently needed.

Lv Zijian

Mr. Lu Zijian was born in Yichang, Hubei Province in 1893, the 19th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu. Over the years, he has lived in seclusion and never wanted to be overly public. He only occasionally participated in some activities related to the elderly. His many years of interaction with Fearless were even less known.

The origin of the "Yangtze River Hero"

In the 1930s, Shanghai was China's most important commodity distribution center and transshipment port, and the Yangtze River route's water transport route was also China's most important at that time. important economic lifeline. At that time, there were more than a dozen foreign shipping companies on the Yangtze River route, but there was only one national industry, Minsheng Shipping Company. Foreign shipping companies are running rampant on the Yangtze River route. Large ships of hundreds of tonnage or even thousands of tonnage are moving at full speed on the route, without any regard for the safety of the lives and property of Chinese fishermen working near the route. The hulls of the ships and the huge waves they set off are knocked over and overturned. Incidents of capsizing Chinese fishing boats and cargo ships occur from time to time. Their "high speed and efficiency" are obtained at the expense of Chinese lives and property, and the Minsheng Shipping Company, a national industry with many scruples, is on the verge of bankruptcy.

After being introduced, the chairman of Minsheng Shipping Company approached Mr. Lu Zijian and asked him to find a solution. Full of patriotism, Lu Zijian and his friends ran around shouting and calling on people not to take foreign ships. At the same time, they summoned Chinese pilots, sailors and other Chinese personnel on foreign ships to the Minsheng Shipping Company, and foreign shipping companies were completely suspended. transport. The frustrated foreign shipping company spent a lot of money to recruit Hideo Mitsui, the famous Japanese samurai and ronin leader, to fight one another. They made a life-and-death contract and had a duel at the Yichang military field. As a result, the opponent was beaten until he vomited blood and was later seriously injured to death. Yixue became the "sick man of East Asia". "National shame. The Chinese won! Everyone was excited, and Minsheng Shipping Company hired Lu Zijian as the company's vice chairman on the spot. However, Lu Zijian, who was indifferent to fame and fortune, declined politely, but put forward a condition: from now on, any poor person with his handwritten itinerary finds Minsheng Shipping Company to take a boat, the company will waive the fare and provide 5 yuan in travel expenses when they arrive at the destination. From then on, the reputation of Mr. Lu Zijian, the "Yangtze River Hero", spread across the Yangtze River.

In 1945, another important event in Lu Zijian’s life happened. At that time, General Marshall of the United States had a bodyguard named Tom Newham, an American boxer who was extremely arrogant. He set up an arena in Chongqing and threatened to defeat all Chinese. Although this person is arrogant, he does have some real skills in his hands. So although there were many good players who challenged them, they were all defeated one by one by Tom Newham. As a result, Tom Newham became even more arrogant. Not only did he utter arrogant words, saying that Chinese Kung Fu was nothing more than this, he also outrageously insulted the Chinese as the "sick men of East Asia." Lu Zijian was furious when he learned of this situation, so he approached Chiang Kai-shek and asked to compete with this American fanatic. After obtaining the consent of Chiang Kai-shek and Marshall, Lu Zijian and Tom Newham signed a life-or-death contest. At that time, many people were very worried about him after hearing about it, and some even advised him to give up the competition. But he laughed it all off. In the end, the result of the competition between the two was that Lu Zijian knocked down Tom Newham with Baguazhang. Tom Newham died of serious injuries three days later. Lu Zijian breathed a sigh of relief for the Chinese.

Meeting Huo Yuanjia

Lu Zijian has a relationship with "San'San'er" who often performs martial arts on Beijing Tianqiao. These three "three sons" are Shen San, Bao San and Yanzi Li San. They are all good at martial arts and often rob the rich and give to the poor. Huo Yuanjia, who was in Tianjin at the time, really wanted to get to know "San'er", but the rule in the martial arts world at that time was that someone had to introduce him to him. Therefore, Huo Yuanjia came to Beijing to visit Lu Zijian first, hoping that Lu Zijian would introduce him to "San'er". And the rule is that no matter how old you are, you have to call people "brother", so Huo Yuanjia, who was at least in his thirties at the time, called Lu Zijian, who was only in his teens, "brother" experience…… .

Lu Zijian remembers that he asked Huo Yuanjia in "jargon" at that time: "Are you going to pass through the city, or go around the city?" , rolled up one sleeve, then bent down and bowed and said: "I am neither going through the city nor going around the city, but I am here to pay my respects to my brother..."

Mr. Lu still remembers that when he, After Huo Yuanjia and "San'San'er" finally sat together, they were so happy that they drank a jar of wine
