"Jinmen Hero" Huo Yuanjia
(On June 1, 1910, Huo Yuanjia established the Jingwu Hall in Shanghai with the help of his friend Nong Jinsun. Just over three months later, Huo Yuanjia Died)
His apprentice Liu Zhensheng (the prototype of Chen Zhen) felt that the cause of his master's death was strange, and vaguely felt that it was related to the medicine Akino sent, so he took the medicine that the Japanese Akino gave to Huo Yuanjia for testing. The test didn't matter, Liu Zhensheng was furious. The medicine Little Japan gave to Huo Yuanjia was chronic lung rot medicine, which eventually led to Huo Yuanjia's death from poison.
Huo Yuanjia was outstanding in kung fu, but he suffered from consumption and often coughed up blood, which was tuberculosis. At that time, there was no specific medicine for this disease. At that time, Huo Yuanjia scared away the British strongman Obiyin (Obiyin was in China openly laughed at Chinese martial arts and said that the Chinese were the sick men of East Asia, so the patriots recommended that Huo Yuanjia and Obiyin compete!

The Japanese felt that they had no chance of winning if they challenged Huo Yuanjia head-on. , so when they came to Yin, they held a banquet to entertain Huo Yuanjia, claiming that they sincerely admired Chinese martial arts and wanted to be friends with Huo Yuanjia.
Huo Yuanjia was open-minded and happily went to the appointment. During the dinner, the Japanese Akino heard that Huo Yuanjia was suffering from illness. He had tuberculosis, so he "enthusiastically" invited Huo Yuanjia to the "Akiye Hospital" he opened for treatment, and also prescribed a bottle of "miracle medicine" to Huo Yuanjia. After taking the medicine, the unsuspecting Huo Yuanjia not only It didn't work, but the coughing of blood became more and more severe, and eventually he died. This is when the eldest disciple Liu Zhensheng took the medicine bottle to do the test.
For decades, there have been different opinions about the cause of Huo Yuanjia's death. The most widely circulated one is that the Japanese poisoned him.

After Huo Yuanjia passed away, what happened to his family?
After Huo Yuanjia was poisoned, the Jingwu Hall was taken over by his younger brother Huo Yuanqing and his second son Huo Dongge . They continued to carry forward Huo Yuanjia's legacy and patriotic spirit and became famous in Shanghai!
Huo Yuanjia's wife Wang (some say called Wang Yun) was born in 1868 AD, the same age as Huo Yuanjia. She gave birth to five children for Huo Yuanjia, namely two sons and three daughters. The eldest son Huo Dongzhang , the second son is the famous Huo Dongge, and the three daughters are: Huo Dongqing, Huo Dongqin, and Huo Donglin. Unfortunately, the history books do not record much about the deeds of Huo Yuanjia's three daughters. On the contrary, his two sons What's going on in the future because of a misunderstanding?
Huo Yuanjia's eldest son Huo Dongzhang was honest by nature and was not interested in his father's martial arts, so he did not inherit his father's mantle and farmed in his hometown to support his mother Wang!
Huo Yuanjia's wife Wang lived to an old age and died in 1960 at the age of 92. At this time, Huo Yuanjia had left this world for a full 50 years. Huo Yuanjia lived to be 42 years old, while his wife lived to be 92 years, more than twice his lifespan!
Huo Yuanjia's eldest son, Huo Dongzhang, was born in 1889. He was not interested in martial arts and made a living by farming in his hometown. His younger brother Huo Dongge inherited his father's mantle and carried forward his father's martial arts and patriotic spirit.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Huo Dongge left for Southeast Asia and never returned to his country!
Huo Yuanjia’s second son and successor to his mantle, Huo Dongge
Huo Dongge was born in 1895, 6 years younger than his elder brother. He liked martial arts since he was a child, and like his father Huo Yuanjia, he became obsessed with martial arts. He is extremely talented in martial arts, so he is highly regarded by his father Huo Yuanjia! After Huo Yuanjia's death, Huo Dongge and his uncle Huo Yuanqing took over the Jingwu Hall. During the Anti-Japanese War, Huo Dongge actively resisted Japan and continued to carry forward the spirit of Jingwu.
In order to enhance the national physique, he established the Jingwu Gymnasium and continued to carry forward the Jingwu spirit in Southeast Asia!
Why was Huo Dongge, who was so far away in Nanyang, brought to court by his brother Huo Dongzhang? The reason lies in Huo Yuanjia's grandson Huo Shousong !
Huo Shousong, born in 1907, is the eldest grandson of Huo Yuanjia, the eldest son of Huo Dongzhang, and the nephew of Huo Dongge. When Huo Shousong was three years old, his grandfather Huo Yuanjia passed away! Although Huo Dongzhang is not interested in martial arts training, his son Huo Shousong may have inherited his grandfather Huo Yuanjia's martial arts gene from another generation and is a martial arts wizard!
In 1924 AD, 17-year-old Huo Shousong followed his uncle Huo Dongge to Indonesia , where he opened a martial arts gym to promote the spirit of Jingwu. Later, he and his uncle Huo Dongge opened the Jingwu Gymnasium to carry forward Huo Yuanjia's legacy. Huo Shousong cared about the people. Like Huang Feihong, he opened hospitals and pharmacies. He spent the rest of his life practicing medicine to save the country. He died in 1970 at the age of 63.
Huo Shousong had a son and two daughters. After the founding of New China, he sent his two daughters back to China to study. His son Huo Gongzheng inherited his career and made a living by practicing medicine.
Huo Shousong’s two granddaughters work as doctors in Guangzhou, China, and did not inherit the martial arts legacy of their ancestor Huo Yuanjia! Huo Shousong died of illness in Indonesia. Before his death, he left a will to scatter his ashes in the sea and let the sea water carry his soul to the motherland, which means "the water flows back to the sea after thousands of times"!
So why did Huo Shousong cause his father Huo Dongzhang and uncle Huo Dongge to go to court?
It turns out that in 1936 AD, Huo Dongge returned to China from Indonesia to visit relatives and visit his mother. Because his nephew Huo Shousong had to manage the gymnasium, he did not return to China with his uncle to visit relatives. Huo Dongzhang saw that only his younger brother Huo Dongge came back. While visiting relatives, he became suspicious . He believed that the reason why his son Huo Shousong did not come back was because his younger brother Huo Dongge killed his son, so Huo Dongzhang took his younger brother Huo Dongge to court for "homicide"!
Huo Dongge had no idea about his brother's magical operation. He didn't know the whole story until he received a summons from the court. Huo Dongge immediately sent an ocean-going telegram to his nephew Huo Shousong in Indonesia, asking Huo Shousong to send a telegram in person to clarify everything. !
Huo Shousong learned that something big had happened in the country and immediately sent an ocean telegram to explain the situation. Only then did Huo Dongzhang know the truth and immediately filed a withdrawal with the court. The truth of this oolong incident came to light. After the misunderstanding was resolved, Huo Dongzhang apologized to his brother, and Huo Dongge forgave him. Brother, but there was always a knot in his heart. After he returned to Indonesia, he never returned to China until his death in 1956!
