Why did Huo Yuanjia's great-great-grandson bluntly say that his ancestors were not the first in Tianjin, and defeating the Russian Hercules was all fabricated?

Three men make a tiger, and unity makes a city. Sometimes a joke that people tell casually becomes a true story after it is spread by many people. In particular, achievements or scandals related to celebrities are most popular with the masses. They are often only willing to believe what they hear, even if someone passes the truth to them, they won't care.

Because the truth is always not as beautiful as a lie, such as the story of Huo Yuanjia, which everyone admires. His deeds have been interpreted by many stars, and everyone's understanding of Huo Yuanjia is basically from Huo Yuanjia or Jingwumen. But in fact, many plots in it have been artistically processed. Even based on facts, the film and television side will adjust the plot according to the taste of the audience. After all, many people have a hero complex and can't accept the existence of unknown heroes.

Huo Jinghong, the great-grandson of Huo Yuanjia, once stood up and denied that Huo Yuanjia was not "the first in Guinness" and had never defeated the British Hercules. It's all made up of film and television dramas. Although the audience loves watching, as a descendant of Huo Yuanjia, she doesn't want Huo Yuanjia to be regarded as a perfect hero. On the contrary, Huo Yuanjia is just an ordinary person. As long as he is human, he will have shortcomings.

Huo Yuanjia himself was born in a martial arts family, and his father, Huo Dian, was a bodyguard, but Huo Yuanjia was not allowed to practice martial arts, because Huo Yuanjia was weak since childhood and was not suitable for practicing martial arts, but Huo Yuanjia was a tough guy, and he watched while his father was teaching his younger brother martial arts. Later, his father found out and punished him. Huo Yuanjia and his father promised not to compete with others, not to embarrass her family and let them continue their studies.

So although his martial arts is the best among the three brothers, Huo Yuanjia doesn't make moves easily and has no desire to win or lose. This kind of thing will not happen to him in the ring. So how is "Guinness No.1" judged? Then there was the film and television drama of 1909. A British strongman named Aoping came to Shanghai and set up a challenge in Bird, saying that China was a "sick man's country" and China was a "sick man of East Asia", claiming that no one could beat him, but Huo Yuanjia beat him to his knees for mercy with several moves. This is a complete exaggeration.

In fact, Mr Opium was scared away by Huo Yuanjia's reputation, and Huo Yuanjia didn't fight him at all. At that time, Mr. Opium released malicious words, and Huo Yuanjia agreed. After arriving in Shanghai, the major media released the news of Huo Yuanjia's decisive battle, and Mr. Opium also inquired about Huo Yuanjia's position and ability in the Wulin, so the tournament didn't appear at all, and Huo Yuanjia didn't have a decisive battle with Mr. Opium.

Including 190 1 year, the Russian boasted that he was "the strongest man in the world", claimed that China was invincible and slandered China people. Huo Yuanjia accepted the challenge in the ring on the spot. Just after the Russians heard his translator tell him the origin and reputation of Huo Yuanjia, he became timid on the spot. He didn't dare to compare with Huo Yuanjia at all. He agreed to the first two of the three conditions put forward by Huo Yuanjia and left Tianjin despondently. So both of them were scared away by Huo Yuanjia's reputation and never played against Huo Yuanjia again.

Huo Yuanjia may be accomplished in martial arts, and his martial arts spirit is respected, but his title of "Guinness No.1" does not come from his competition, and Huo Yuanjia doesn't care about those hollow reputations. He is just an ordinary farmer.

Film and television dramas will fabricate some storylines to enrich the characters and let the audience watch them, but they are not popular science dramas after all. If entertainment is regarded as official history, it will make people laugh and be generous. It is better to keep a clear head at all times.
