In the picture, a bald old monk stood upright by the wall, and his weight was supported by only two fingers. The Chinese had a long-standing complex for traditional martial arts, and such a shocking skill immediately impressed countless audiences.

In 1983, Hong Kong Great Wall Film Company filmed a film called "Sichuan Funny News", and the scene in the film quickly caused a stir across the country, so that a few years later, CCTV filmed a solo documentary for it alone. In the

picture, a bald old monk stood upright by the wall, and his entire weight was supported by only two fingers. The Chinese have a long-standing complex for traditional martial arts, and such a shocking skill immediately impressed countless audiences.

This old monk is called Master Haideng. Soon, he was given a series of titles such as "Shaolin Monk" and "Martial Arts Strange Man", and was enthusiastically sought after. It is said that the martial arts he showed are the most excellent skills in Shaolin Temple, a thousand-year-old ancient temple, named " Two Finger Zen ".

The main function of this skill is to subdue your opponent by pointing acupoints. If you want to practice, your fingers must have a thousand pounds of strength. There are very few truly successful people, and Master Haideng has achieved such success after decades of hard practice. What is even more shocking is that this extraordinary martial arts master was nearly eighty years old at this time. However, even in many years today, what Master Haideng brought about was not the development of traditional Chinese martial arts, but an earthquake in the news media industry and a shady lawsuit.

What is the series of mysteries hidden behind the so-called "two-finger Zen"? The story starts with this extremely mysterious old man.

February 1

In February 1902, Haideng was born in Chongqing Town, Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province. His original name was Fan Wubing and formerly named Fan Jinghe. He was born in a very poor peasant family. His parents lived a hard life, let alone sending their children to school, but Haideng himself had great ambitions and went out to travel at a young age.

He traveled to many places such as Mianyang , Zhongjiang , Chengdu and other places. He earned money to study some schools with his own efforts, and also began to practice martial arts, following famous teachers such as Xue Jiuzhi and Zhu Zhihan . Later, after studying hard in Haideng, he was admitted to the School of Literature of Sichuan University with excellent grades, but because he did not have enough money to pay enough tuition, he could only transfer to Sichuan Police Supervisor School.

The sea lamp, which is both civil and military, is still not satisfied. He followed the famous Sichuan scholar Zhu Qingchang to study poetry. As his realm continues to improve, he suddenly realized and decided to convert to Buddhism. In the year, at the age of 21, he resolutely devoted himself to Zhaojue Temple in Chengdu and became a monk.

As we all know, "the world's martial arts come from Shaolin", and after becoming a monk, Haideng, who has always loved martial arts, became a monk, and once became a disciple of Master Rufeng and Old Danyan from Shaolin Temple, and practiced martial arts diligently. Later, he followed the teacher to the golden peak of Mount Emei to practice in seclusion.

There are many unique skills in Shaolin Temple. After the hard work of Haideng over the years, three skills have become his most proficient skills - Boy's Kung Fu , plum blossom stake, and two-finger Zen.

Boy's Technique is a physical technique, which is named after it requires practice at the age of five to seven. There are more than 30 sets of movements, such as boy worshiping Buddha, sitting cross-legged in lotus, etc. After practicing, the body shape and shape are different from ordinary people.

Many people may have seen plum blossom stakes in the movie, which is to punch eleven wooden stakes arranged in plum blossom petal formations. These stakes are quite high, and warriors need to practice on it, but they cannot fall off.

Two-finger Zen is even more magical. The famous Chinese martial artist Bruce Lee once performed two-finger Zen publicly in the United States, but with his ability, he only faced the ground and did push-ups with two fingers, but the sea lamp can directly lift himself up with two fingers to complete the whole body inverted handstand.

Originally, Hai Deng was just devoted to practicing martial arts, but what made him really famous was the ring competition held in Qingyang Palace in Chengdu in 1942. In this game, he directly took out his two-finger Zen magic skill, which directly shocked the audience and even other martial artists.

At that time, the contest included Wang Ziping, the "King of Thousand King of Divine Power" Liu Baichuan, the "God of Jiangnan" Gai Xuetian and other martial arts heroes. However, in the later schedule, Haideng easily defeated his opponents and won a gold medal, which was reported by the media as "one-finger champion champion".

After becoming famous, Haideng went to Shanghai in 1946. In the racing hall, there were many strong foreign men fighting frequently. There were many Chinese people watching around, but none of them dared to fight. Haideng jumped on the ring without saying a word, and used his unique skills again. He pointed at the spot and stood upside down for two minutes, which made the foreigners convinced them.

It was in this year that Haideng, who returned to Henan, was invited by the German and Italian master, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, to come to the temple to serve as a professor of national arts, and issued a letter of request.

In the years that followed, Haideng took his disciples to travel around, either practicing hard, practicing martial arts, or participating in countless competitions. His reputation gradually became greater and greater, and he made great achievements in all aspects of literature, martial arts, Buddhism, and medicine.

As time goes by, in 1979, Great Wall Pictures in Hong Kong came to Sichuan to shoot a documentary called "Sichuan Fun Records".

At this time, the sea lamp was already seventy-seven years old. Because of his fame, the shooting team found him, and he also showed his "two-finger Zen" again in front of the camera without any pretentiousness.

This photo of an old monk standing upside down was released, it really attracted strong attention from all parties. Everyone who saw it was surprised and surprised. The crew later presented a banner with a sea lamp. The above eight big words: "The skill is profound and the wall is facing the wall, and the unique skills are amazing."

has such popularity. A few years later, even people from the Central News Documentary Film Studio came and made a documentary "Shaolin Haideng Master" for him, which directly brought his image to the big screen.

just happened to be released with the release of several classic movies such as "Shaolin Temple" at that time, the fame of this hermit master with unique skills reached its peak, and he was even elected as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and CPPCC member from many places in Sichuan, which is famous all over the world.

By 1989, the elderly Haideng passed away because of pancreatic cancer , but his storm did not stop behind him, and even evolved into turbulent waves.

A few years later, an ordinary reporter Jing Yongxiang, who worked in " Sichuan Daily ", investigated the situation of Haideng in depth, and then posted a message saying that almost all his "fame" was fraud. Haideng's adopted son and also the eldest disciple Fan Yinglian immediately appealed to the court and sued the reporter in the name of defamation .

After so many years, Haideng and his disciples have a considerable force in the local area, so in the process of lawsuits, Fan Yinglian was almost completely rogue. The two sides began to compete repeatedly in court. Fan Yinglian even threatened Jing Yongxiang with gangsters and colluded with the court, but the latter was always unyielding.

So, the lawsuit was fought for ten years, and in the end, Jing Yongxiang was sentenced to lose the case and had to apologize to Fan Yinglian.

And just as all mysteries seemed to be about to be enveloped and swallowed by darkness, a bizarre turning point suddenly appeared. The impact of this matter became more and more serious. Finally, it was learned by the Sichuan Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee that the country was pursuing ignorance and superstition. When the leaders stood behind Jing Yongxiang alone, those local forces immediately stopped.

Then, the investigation of Fan Yinglian and his deceased teacher, Hai Deng, began to unfold in full swing. Finally, a shocking fraud that spans nearly a hundred years has surfaced.

First of all, let’s look at the most critical one, and the only photo left by Hailantern, which was performed in public.

In 2001, CCTV's "News Investigation" column specifically anti-counterfeiting revealed the truth - at that time, Haideng's ankle was actually tied with a rope, which was covered by his trouser legs, and a disciple stood by the window in the house and pulled the rope. In this way, Haideng could easily stand upside down.

As many parties spoke out in person, the evidence was undoubtedly conclusive: the photographer who was in charge of taking photos said that Haideng was shaking at that time, let alone the second finger Zen, and according to other people present, he had already had some illness at that time and was even difficult to walk.

Is the sea lamp master who is popular all over the country cheating? After many people who are obsessed with the truth, and even many disciples of Haideng came out to explain in person, a real person was finally restored to the public.

We originally wanted to say it from the beginning, but how far has the "Sea Lamp Master" been faked? Even the date of birth is false and true. Many people think that he lied about his birthday in order to increase his age and make himself appear more "respected".

Haideng is indeed poor, but poverty makes him run into society and start dating. As he gets stuck, he becomes an old man. It is true that he has studied, but he has only a primary school degree.

The so-called "success in , Sichuan University, as the first place" is completely a fool. After someone wanted to go to the school to verify, Haideng immediately changed his words and said that he was taking the exam for "Fa University". No one knew what school it was, and he himself was vague.

He became a novice monk in a small temple in his hometown at the age of 20. Later, he went to Zhaojue Temple in Chengdu. His master Zhiguang was named a monk, but he was plundering people's wealth and ointment under the protection of warlords. Later, he fell back and Zhiguang took his disciples to stay everywhere.

Haideng started learning martial arts since he was very young. This is true. It is also true that he studied literature and medicine, but he could not achieve any achievements in everything. The only thing he practiced was a slick tongue and bragging without making drafts at all. The master lost his power, so he ran to various temples by himself and made a living with his mouth.

As for the series of martial arts competitions that Haideng himself participated in, they were all nonsense, but he knew the essence of scams - half truth and half falsehood. According to detailed investigation, many judges and contestants at that time came out to confirm that Haideng did come to the scene, but he was just here to perform a short performance and was not qualified to participate at all. Some were not even invited and came uninvited.

The banners, medals, and posters hanging in his room had many words "dedicated to a certain unit" written on them, all of which were awards and congratulations he had visited in person, took photos, and then wrote with his own pen.

During the long period of the so-called "cloud travel", he actually kept trying hard to package himself. He was really brave. Later, the "public letter" that he often showed was the appointment letter of Shaolin Temple to be a professor of national arts. After the Shaolin abbot personally identified it, it said that there was no one of the two major Shaolin seals in the book, and it was undoubtedly a fake.

Not only that, the sea lantern, known as "the only authentic Shaolin martial arts master in China", actually has nothing to do with Shaolin Temple.

Although Haideng has worked hard on bragging and fraud, after all, he is just a few pounds and pounds. Most of the people he has known have sneered at it, so he has lived a life of nowhere to live for the first half of his life.

And by 1979, the times changed, reform and opening up had moved to the whole country, the atmosphere in our country became active, and the news media also began to pay attention to all walks of life, and the fame forged by Haideng could not deceive others, but deceived a group of film crews from afar.

After becoming famous, Haideng ushered in the second spring of his life. He didn't know anything else, bragging and nonsense were really the first-class in the world, so more and more scary titles were heard by the outside world, and reporters from all media came in one after another. For a moment, it seemed that the reputation of the whole country was pushed to him.

But are there anyone who understands it? Of course there are, and there are many.

To be honest, the people in the martial arts and sports worlds are the ones who know the details of sea lamps best. In 1983, sea lamps were already "famous all over the world", but the fifth-game martial arts finals were held in Shanghai. Not only did the sea lamps not receive an invitation, he even had to pay for the tickets himself.

However, some people still believe the lies about Hailan. In such a chaotic atmosphere, many people cannot understand the facts at all and really regard him as a master. His hometown, Jiangyou , promoted the various deeds of Hailan, and focused on him publishing books, making movies, TV series, and even built a "Sea Lantern Temple" that is still here for him.

As we all know, the famous poet Li Bai grew up in Jiangyou, and he is naturally the cultural symbol of the city. Later, when the public opinion was the most intense, many people claimed that Jiangyou "has Li Bai in literature and sea lanterns in martial arts". This is really a great insult to unite this great man who is rare in a thousand years and a liar.

The lie will not be deceived in the end. With the joint efforts of many people with hearts, the truth of the "Sea Lamp Master" was finally known to the people of the whole country. Although this contains many accidental factors, it is still worth our deep thinking.
