Create the green waters and green mountains of martial arts
——Record the outstanding builder of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in Shandong Province Yu Yongsheng, Chairman of the Yantai Martial Arts Association,
The martial arts world is so big that it is crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Yu Yongsheng, chairman of Yantai Wushu Sports Association, is the master of martial arts in the eyes of everyone, like a tiger growing up in the martial arts world. For fifty years, he has been sticking to Yantai, a well-known martial arts hometown at home and abroad, and has gradually created the green waters and green mountains of Yantai martial arts, constantly polishing the business card of Yantai martial arts.
searched up and down, bravely entered the Chinese martial arts world
July 21, 2008, is an unforgettable day. On this day, Yu Yongsheng, Yantai, Shandong, a martial artist, the torch relay hand of the Beijing Summer Olympics, raised the Olympic torch in his hand high in Qingdao! Facing the enthusiastic people and many scenes, this man who has been practicing martial arts for 40 years could not hide his inner excitement and immediately made a beautiful mantis boxing action. This wonderful moment was taken into the reporter's camera. The next day, his photo was published in the Peninsula Metropolis Daily with the title "Dancing with the Clouds". The heroic posture of Yu Yongsheng Mantis Boxing in Yantai Martial Arts has become a highlight of the torch relay in Qingdao, and his parents and family are proud and proud of him. Yes, others don’t know, his family knows, he himself knows that over the years, he has experienced many hardships and sweats, and has experienced many hardships and sweat.
Yu Yongsheng, born in the early 1960s, was very worried when he was a child because he was weak and sick. Seeing that he was looking like the wind fell, his grandfather and uncle, who had been practicing martial arts for many years, suggested that this child practice martial arts, not for anything else, to strengthen his body. In that era, what could ordinary people do to make their children healthy and strong? Practicing martial arts and going to beat the enemy seems to be the best choice. In this way, when he was 7 years old, he officially became a disciple of Yu Tiancheng to learn Mantis Boxing. From then on, this timid and weak boy embarked on the road of martial arts. He practiced every day as long as he was not sick, kicking, pressing his legs, running... He knew that he was going to be strong. As the saying goes, practice in the winter and practice in the summer. In the end, he was the only one of the three brothers who practiced martial arts together. After entering middle school, Yu Yongsheng, who was in good health, fell in love with Mantis Fist from the bottom of his bones. At that time, the trend of martial arts practice was prevalent in Yantai. In order to improve his martial arts skills, he trained hard. After graduating from junior high school, Yu Yongsheng, who was devoted to martial arts, did not continue to go to school, practice boxing, and practice boxing. This is the only thing in his heart. He used all his spare time to practice boxing, in the small square of the railway station, in the courtyard, anywhere he could stretch his fists. He aims to learn and communicate and improve his martial arts skills, and makes friends, and everyone practices and discusses with each other in private. If you lose, come back and carefully find out your own shortcomings and continue training and then make a fight; if you win, don’t be proud, absorb the opponent’s strengths and practice again, waiting for a challenge. Once and again, Yu Yongsheng has been trapped in the martial arts world and has walked in the world without realizing it. The Yantai Wood Industry Company where he worked in three shifts. He ran to his grandfather's yard to practice boxing after work, and asked his grandfather to give him guidance. Once he won a person with good boxing skills. Someone uttered a message: "Birth of a son, you are amazing. Everyone says your boxing skills are awesome!" He heard it and said, "What awesome?! Only you know who loses and who wins." He gave his opponent enough face and dignity, because he knew in his heart and his body knew whether it was difficult or easy to win. Respecting people among fellow men, respecting opponents, and not belittle yourself is what you bring to life in the bones of eternal life, and it should also be said that it is the inherent way of dealing with the world in his family style. Of course, Yu Yongsheng, who was not 20 years old at that time, had a dream in his heart to make himself stronger, be a master of Mantis Boxing, become a strong man in the martial arts world, and be the so-called overlord of the martial arts world when he was a child.
However, no one will succeed casually, and the road to martial arts has never been smooth sailing. Life played a fatal joke on the young Yu Yongsheng and a harsh test. In the summer of 20 years old, the young and impulsive Yu Yongsheng entered a deep well because of carelessness. The bone-burning cold water hit his hot body, and his joints began to hurt and stiff, and his fists could not be clenched.He used many treatment methods and took a lot of medicines, but he could not restore the agile Yu Yongsheng to his original state. In despair, he knocked himself back, "I Yu Yongsheng must start over!" He began to practice martial arts to strengthen his body like he was in his childhood. But whenever he faces someone who comes to challenge him when he hears the sound, he has the will to die. This young man who practices martial arts cannot accept this hardship that life has given him! Because he can no longer compete with the opponent in close proximity like before, let alone defeat the opponent. For countless sleepless nights, he came to the mountain alone and gritted his teeth and practiced silently. Shanfeng knew how painful his joints were, and Xingxing knew what was in his eyes. For countless mornings, he had a light rope wrapped around his hands (because it was difficult for him to reach out to hold the light rope), waiting for the elder brother upstairs to call him to get up, so he could turn on the lights in time and go to morning exercises. Xiaolu knew how heavy his steps were, and Chenxi knew that his face was not just sweat. For two full years, Yu Yongsheng recovered himself through hard practice of martial arts. It is not easy for a person to strengthen his muscles and bones by practicing martial arts twice in 20 years; it is even more difficult for a person to rely on the martial spirit to support his will and temper his healthy mind twice in childhood! Yu Yongsheng rejected a negative tragic life, and he used his fists to build a positive future for himself. Yu Yongsheng is very lucky. He lives in the hometown of martial arts and has a traditional and harmonious family; he has parents, family, friends and colleagues who love and encourage him. This also created a kind of Chinese martial arts spirit in his bones, a kind of perseverance to constantly search for it.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of his martial arts at that time, Yu Yongsheng decided to practice wrestling. Under the recommendation of his uncle, he led several apprentices to learn wrestling with a teacher from Qingdao. In the eyes of many people at that time, he was simply an alternative person. He destroyed the traditional customs of the martial arts world. How could a master and apprentice learn from his master? Friends who know him said, "Yu Yongsheng, you live for others, and you won't think about yourself." But he never cared about these things, nor did he regard himself as a master. His idea was very simple, just learn together and master more martial arts skills. Yu Yongsheng's martial arts are becoming more and more comprehensive, but he is not satisfied. He knows that an uncle from his aunt's family in Tianjin is very good at wrestling, boxing, and Bajiquan. He is the national wrestling champion, and his skills are below him. He had the idea of going to Tianjin to learn boxing. Few people know how Yu Yongsheng learned boxing skills. After two consecutive years, he took half a month's leave slip, gauze, potion, and endured the pain and went to Tianjin to visit his teacher after he had done leg lipoma surgery. He is practicing boxing and feet diligently by the Haihe River during the day and Xiaobailou at night. During this period, he also contacted and visited many martial arts masters in Tianjin, and his wrestling and grappling fighting skills became increasingly mature. In the early 1980s, Yu Yongsheng practiced martial arts selflessly, became a disciple devoutly, and made friends with people in the martial arts world. He approached his dream of omnipotent martial arts step by step, and the Chinese martial arts spirit and sense of responsibility rooted in his heart also grew day by day.
goes all out and bravely shoulder the burden of inheriting traditional Chinese martial arts
Yantai is the hometown of martial arts. The traditional martial arts Mantis Boxing has been passed down from generation to generation in Yantai, and has gone to the whole country and even the world. Yu Yongsheng unconsciously shouldered this burden, so that fifty years later, he still bears this burden on his shoulders. He once joked that "people are in the world, and they have no choice."
In the early 1980s, Yu Yongsheng began to participate in some martial arts routine competitions in Yantai. His mantis boxing had been recognized by martial artists at that time, and he gained a certain reputation among martial artists, especially among the younger generation. Almost every week, people who asked him to practice martial arts skills have attracted many followers, especially some martial artists who were younger than him came to him to learn boxing. But in his eyes, everyone was friends and brothers, so he never had any idea of a master taking apprentices. He was himself, a martial artist, and it was his natural responsibility to voluntarily teach everyone how to practice martial arts. Because he really hopes that more people will learn Mantis Boxing, learn wrestling and fighting, so that Mantis Boxing and other traditional Chinese martial arts can continue to flourish in Yantai and in their generation.To this end, Yu Yongsheng began his hard-working amateur coaching career. His resume summarized it as follows: From 1985 to 1995, he served as an amateur martial arts, Sanda and boxing coach at the Yantai Wushu Sports Association; from 1996 to 2004, he served as the principal (legal person) of Yantai Fighting Sports School. In 18 years, Yu Yongsheng has been teaching martial arts entirely by rest days, saving night shifts, and transferring classes. It can be said that he devoted his best time to martial arts education and cultivated a large number of martial arts enthusiasts. Yantai Youth Palace was once a good place for Yu Yongsheng to teach and impart kung fu. The amateur training of boxing and Sanda from 1991 to 1993 was very popular, with more than 2,000 students. After establishing Yantai Fighting Sports School, he jointly runs schools with three technical secondary schools in Yantai to help the Sada training team of Yantai Municipal Public Security Bureau conduct training, and volunteers to Tai Chi tutoring the municipal government and institutions, etc. At that time, Yu Yongsheng would be agile figure in places where there were martial arts in Yantai. His teaching and guidance were accepted and praised by the majority of martial arts practitioners. He unknowingly became a banner of Yantai martial arts.
In 1987, the Shandong Provincial Sports Commission’s Martial Arts Excavation and Organization Office wanted to edit the "Mantis Boxing" series. He was recommended by Yantai Martial Arts Association to demonstrate the movement and take pictures. He carefully decomposes and demonstrates the movements one by one, leaving precious graphic and text materials for Yantai Mantis Boxing.
In order to better promote the development of martial arts, promote and improve Yantai martial arts, Yu Yongsheng came forward to organize the first boxing competition - Yantai "Central Asia Cup" boxing competition, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong City, and student Wang Hua won the championship. In the future, he led the team to represent Yantai City in competitions many times. As the team leader and coach, he personally trained before each game, imitating opponents' routines and techniques to practice with students, and formulating tactical plans for each person. The students did not know how much effort he had put into it, and he had never thought about it himself. His keen observation ability and effective winning tips on the field were sincerely admired by his disciples and colleagues. From 1999 to 2000, he won 18 gold medals in provincial competitions. In 2000, he represented Shandong Province in the National Youth Martial Arts Championships and achieved good results of fourth and fifth. The National Mantis Boxing Competition and the three traditional Kung Fu International Martial Arts Exercises held by the Martial Arts Association have received praise from the martial arts circles at home and abroad. He has formed a team to participate in the provincial traditional martial arts and mantis boxing exhibition competitions many times, and achieved excellent results at the first World Tai Chi Health Conference held in Hainan Province in 2001. Young player Yu Bingke won the Mantis Boxing twice in the two Qingdao International Martial Arts Championships in 1998 and 2000. Yu Bingke, born in 1992, is no one else, she is Yu Yongsheng's daughter. Yu Yongsheng, a martial artist, also brought his only daughter into the martial arts world. He practiced boxing with him at the age of 4. His daughter was too young, and he almost squatted to teach her movements and practiced with her. My daughter's white and tender little arms and calves are beaten every day. Which parent doesn't feel heartbroken? Yu Yongsheng was cruel and he would not give up no matter how hard or tired he was, no matter how heartache he was. He told his family that our family’s tradition of martial arts cannot be lost. Although Bingke is a girl, she is my daughter and she must practice martial arts. He wants his descendants to know the profoundness of Chinese martial arts, let her feel the positive energy given by the physical and mental health of martial arts since she was a child, and let the spirit of Chinese martial arts be passed down in her family.
A tiger father has no dog daughter, maybe someone still remembers it. On August 15, 1998, at the third Jinan International Martial Arts Festival, the 6-year-old young player Yu Bingke, the Chinese Yantai Mantis Boxing Team, pushed the Martial Arts Festival to its climax. "In the surprised eyes of the audience and martial arts athletes from all over the world, Xiao Bingke, who was full of childish and extremely lively, walked onto the performance venue calmly. His performance of Sanda was fierce, his offense and defense were orderly, his boxing skills and pace were coordinated, and his rhythm was fast, winning cheers from the audience. This was a wonderful description in "Modern Family Tutoring" at that time. In 2000, "Yantai My Top 10 People in the 21st Century", the oldest was 93 years old, and the youngest was the 8-year-old girl Yu Bingke. Now his daughter Yu Bingke has grown up and is currently the secretary-general of the Yantai Qiu Chuji Culture Research Association. Her daughter inherited her father's business and continues to spread Chinese martial arts.
The layman doesn’t understand why Yu Yongsheng doesn’t participate in the competition? Isn’t it a pity that there is no gold medal on a martial artist? Yu Yongsheng just smiled. Traditional martial artists know that once he participates in the competition, he is likely to meet his disciples on the court, and the disciples will lose off-field guidance. In order to achieve his own students, he gave up and missed too many events. Although he did not have a gold medal, he hung medals on the students' chests. Nowadays, many of his apprentices have developed well, such as Wang Jiansheng, the current vice chairman of Yantai Wushu Association, boxing and Sanda technical consultant of Yantai Sports School, was trained by him. She Shiye, who has been practicing martial arts with him since childhood, has been working with him for 18 years and has become a full-time deputy secretary-general of Yantai Wushu Association, director of the Municipal Mantis Boxing Promotion Center, and a national-level social sports instructor. Yu Yongsheng said: "No matter who does, no matter how many championships, the students win greater achievements, they are all achieved by him personally. It has nothing to do with me. I am still myself. I do my own thing, promote and inherit Chinese traditional martial arts, and let Yantai martial arts. Yantai's Mantis Boxing go further is my lifelong pursuit."
This is Yu Yongsheng. He himself did not realize that his dream has slowly changed. He is no longer the young man who wants to become a martial arts master and strive to be the overlord of the martial arts world. He has put a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he has become a responsible and large-scale martial arts man.
Yu Yongsheng fulfilled his dream and also achieved the future of Yantai martial arts. The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. His martial arts and martial arts are widely spread in the martial arts world. When it was the most popular, martial arts people and enthusiasts from the United States, Britain, Russia and other countries came to learn martial arts Sanda and Mantis Boxing from him. They all saw Yu Yongsheng's martial arts Sanda teaching films on the US National TV program.: At most, nearly 40 people came at one time. Everyone saw his action demonstration with their own eyes and was often stunned. When he easily put the tall foreigners to the ground with lightning speed, he was curious if this was another Bruce Lee in the movie? How could this Yantai martial arts man with a low head have such a great spirit? ! They don’t understand, because what flows in Yu Yongsheng’s bones is the passion of a good Chinese man, and what condenses the soul of Chinese martial arts in his iron bones is the soul of Chinese martial arts!
Promote righteousness, protect and promote the healthy development of Yantai martial arts
The world is not the world of anyone, and the world has been difficult to calm since ancient times. If you have eighteen martial arts skills, you will still find it difficult to establish yourself in the martial arts world without extraordinary wisdom and reliable character. Today, Yantai Martial Arts Association has 70 branches, including members of various boxing branches and unit. Types of martial arts: Mantis Boxing (Seven Stars, Plum Blossoms, Liuhe, Tai Chi), Baguazhang, Tai Chi, Tongbei Boxing, Chinese Wrestling, Changquan, Xingyi Boxing, etc. There are many sects and masters gather. The mountains and seas of Zhifu in Yantai gave Yu Yongsheng the martial arts spirit of Chinese martial arts and also gave him enough wisdom to command the martial arts world. For the healthy development of Yantai’s martial arts and the transformation of Yantai’s martial arts into green waters and green mountains in his heart, he can be said to have overcome all obstacles and digging canals to divert traffic. In recent years, in order to increase the cohesion of the martial arts world, he led the planning of more than 100 events, big and small.
From 1999 to 2000, there were two very famous wrestlers who were dissatisfied with each other since childhood. Although one of them went to Qinghai, the two sides still fought frequently, and the conflicts were difficult to resolve. Yu Yongsheng thought that if this continues, their private confrontation may turn into fights and form social instability factors, which is not conducive to the stability and healthy development of the martial arts world and destroy the image of martial arts people in the hearts of the people. So he came up with an idea to take advantage of the 21st century to let the two of them have a ring match. He gave the two three months to consider, meet and meet and meet and sign a contract, have a battle of the century, and decide the outcome. Finally, under the planning of Eternal Life, a war called "Wrestle of the Century" began. At that time, Yantai media reported overwhelmed with 13 large-scale newspaper reports, and Beijing Evening News and CCTV Sports Channel all reported them. While resolving grievances, Yantai martial arts was spread, and citizens' activities to practice martial arts and exercise.On New Year's Eve, there were crowds of people outside the multi-function hall of the People's Bank of China Financial Training Center. On the lobby, two wrestling masters in their 50s fought fiercely under the eager eyes of 200 pairs. They fought hard to decide the outcome. In the end, both of them reached the limit of their physical fitness, and the ring match was a dead end and they could not continue. Finally, the referee team discussed with Yu Yongsheng and decided: a draw in the ring match, allowing the two to shake hands and make peace in the new millennium. Their followers, friends and apprentices were convinced and maintained the stability and unity of the martial arts world. Immediately afterwards, Yu Yongsheng planned the "Century Wrestling King Arena Competition" to challenge some unsatisfied wrestlers, and the entire competition was unprecedentedly successful. Yantai martial arts has attracted attention from all over the country and even the world because of Yu Yongsheng's clever planning.
Yu Yongsheng's prestige in Yantai martial arts world is getting higher and higher, and he has been commended by the municipal government many times. In 2004, the Municipal Wushu Association changed its term, and he was appointed Secretary-General of Yantai Wushu Association. Five years later, he was elected as executive vice chairman (legal person) of Yantai Wushu Sports Association and the chairman (legal person) of Yantai Wushu Association Mantis Boxing Promotion Center.
In the folk Sanda competition organized by Yongsheng, some people interfered with and obstructed the competition out of unhealthy psychology. After comprehensive consideration, he made an exception to hold a competition without protective gear. Everything was followed by the contract procedure. It was a mule or a horse that pulled it out. The good or bad kung fu was gestured on the arena, which effectively hit the arrogance of the troublemakers and promoted the healthy and orderly development of the martial arts confrontation project. There are countless examples of this, and Yu Yongsheng used his integrity and wisdom to resolve too many conflicts in the martial arts world. He advocates mainstream values. Under his leadership, Yantai’s martial arts community has kept pace with the times and actively gathers social strength.
In the late 1990s, when cults were causing trouble, some old martial artists began to think it was a new skill, and they started practicing it in a daze, and some even fell deeper and deeper. Yu Yongsheng was very distressed and anxious when he discovered it. He tried his best to carry out martial arts activities and called on everyone to participate. We also planned and held a series of publicity activities to promote scientific fitness methods so that the lost people can feel the warmth of the country and society. He is competing for talents with evil forces and using the true traditional Chinese martial arts to regain those lost hearts. An old boxer who was deeply involved in a cult was often pulled by Yu Yongsheng to participate in martial arts activities and left photos of the event. During the investigation by the public security department, his situation was specially dealt with. With the help of immortality, he returned to the martial arts family and avoided a disaster in his life. Afterwards, the old boxer was extremely grateful and burst into tears, "Yongsheng! I'm confused, thanks to you!" Yu Yongsheng used practical actions to unite all those who can be united, suppressed the arrogance of the cult organization, and stabilized the status of traditional martial arts in the hearts of the Chinese people.
Yu Yongsheng's ancient heart is famous. As early as in his 20s, Yu Yongsheng often supported martial artists who were more difficult than himself. Although he was not rich at that time, he could not see others' difficulties. Now he is actively engaged in social welfare activities, sponsoring students from poor families, visiting the elderly at the Social Welfare Center regularly, and issuing an initiative for Yantai martial arts people to help the needy groups around him. He consciously fulfilled the obligation of a group leader. After the Wenchuan earthquake, Yu Yongsheng took the lead in donating money to the disaster area and mobilized members to hold a charity performance fundraising event. Adhere to the traditional virtues of respecting and loving the elderly, and invite old boxers to attend in major events. On the Double Ninth Festival, old boxers are arranged to listen to health lectures, arrange free physical examinations, vaccination, etc. In addition, he joined hands with the Municipal Foundation for Braves and Benefits to send a brave initiative to members, and solemnly held a "Commendation Conference for Braves and Benefits" for members who fought against criminals, and regarded promoting the spirit of bravery as an important part of maintaining social stability and strengthening ideological and moral construction. Comprehensively establish a good image of "Yantai Martial Arts Man".
A person’s mind determines a person’s energy. Yu Yongsheng, who has been in the martial arts world for decades, has never held grudges because of the bad behavior of individuals such as opposition. No matter who, the martial arts association comes and goes freely and treats everyone equally. Respect the elderly and love the young. For the deceased martial arts people, no matter whether they have ever been in opposition, he will mobilize people in the martial arts world to memorialize and see them off. He will enthusiastically care about and help any difficulties at home in the future.He was selfless and had a wide world. When he was selected as an "Excellent Yantai Martial Arts Representatives of Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening Up", no one expected that Yu Yongsheng recommended two people who often had differences with him. Even the two parties involved did not expect that Yu Yongsheng used facts to convince everyone to vote fairly. After the two were elected, they were extremely surprised. When they met in the future, they drank a glass of thin wine together to express their admiration for Yongsheng's broad mind. What warms everyone even more is that Yu Yongsheng did not forget the late old boxers. He held their outstanding contributions in the past 40 years and applied for them, giving them honors separately. Their family said movedly, "If you know someone from the age of the ages, you will also hold your fists and thank you." In the selection activities of "Top Ten Boxing Masters in Yantai" and "Top Ten Boxing Furniture in Yantai", Yu Yongsheng ignored past grudges and emphasized that the judges' fairness and justice, and spoke with qualifications and strength, so that everyone in the martial arts world convinced them. Today, Yu Yongsheng's eyes have surpassed his personal gains and losses. As long as you have contributed to the development of Yantai martial arts, he will remember it in his heart. After a senior scholar met him, he gave Yu Yongsheng a sentence: "You will not lose money if you offend me."
Yu Yongsheng's persistent love for martial arts made his life destined to be extraordinary. In order to concentrate on martial arts, he resigned from his public office twice, and he made his beloved martial arts his only career. With his correct guidance and supervision, Yantai martial arts world has been positive for more than ten years, and there has been no gang fight. Instead, it has worked together to promote the stability and harmony of the city and the prosperity of the sports and cultural life of the masses. Now, are you like seeing the green mountains and clear waters of Yantai martial arts?
Continuing the past and opening a new chapter in Yantai’s martial arts
The long history of Yantai’s martial arts contains a profound martial arts culture. Yu Yongsheng has been deeply influenced by the spirit and culture of traditional Chinese martial arts for so many years. He is very clear that as a martial arts person, not only must he have strong skills in boxing and kicking, but also must fully understand the cultural connotation of this and be a martial arts person who practices both inside and outside.
There have been many martial arts masters in Yantai, and their legendary deeds are still echoing in their ears. Over the years, Yu Yongsheng has led the association to focus on exploring the essence of martial arts and promoting martial arts culture. In 2013, it cooperated with Yantai Daily Media Group to publish Yantai Martial Arts, and published more than 200,000 words of information and more than 100 photos. He devoted too much effort to this. He didn't know how many legs he ran and how many people he found. He was facing the scorching sun and the cold. He didn't care. He was a martial arts heart and patriotism supported him. He wanted to present the original appearance of Yantai martial arts as much as possible as possible, so that the public could deeply understand the history of Yantai martial arts. Through exploration, it was initially proved that "Yantai is one of the sources of Chinese martial arts", which has extremely high value for studying the development and inheritance of Yantai's martial arts and the history and humanities of Yantai. The column "Yantai Martial Arts People" launched in the sports version of " 6:00 this morning" conducted a special report on some boxers and social sports instructors. By introducing the character's experience of martial arts and martial arts, it promoted traditional culture, promoted righteousness, and spread positive energy, and achieved good results, which attracted widespread attention in society. Published the quarterly magazine "Yantai Martial Arts" magazine, regularly publicize and report Yantai martial arts, and praise Yantai martial arts for their contributions to Yantai martial arts; jointly created the "Yantai Martial Arts Official Website" with Jellyfish.com, to record the development of Yantai martial arts in detail, take advantage of the advantages of new online media, authoritatively publish Yantai martial arts reports, concentrate on displaying the style of famous Yantai martial arts masters, timely publish Yantai martial arts competitions, closely monitor Yantai martial arts trends, and fully demonstrate the spiritual outlook of the vast number of martial arts people in Yantai. It can be said that Yu Yongsheng, a martial arts work hard for Yantai, and he used all his eighteen martial arts.
Yu Yongsheng is a person born and lived for martial arts. His courage is inherent in his responsibilities. He is indeed like a tiger guarding the Yantai martial arts world, with agile reactions and quick action. In the mid-1980s, the former State Sports Commission formally confirmed that Mantis Boxing originated in Yantai through investigation and verification. Despite this, there are still controversies and different voices about the hometown issue of Mantis Boxing. For this reason, Yu Yongsheng actively proposed that the municipal government plan measures to protect Yantai Mantis Boxing’s “intangible cultural heritage” project.In addition, a series of activities around Mantis Boxing were carried out in the Martial Arts Association: In Jingwu Magazine, Yantai is the hometown of Mantis Boxing, and Mantis Boxing masters were organized to discuss and communicate with each other in the coastal mart. In order to inherit and develop the Seven-Star Mantis Boxing martial arts business, Yantai Seven-Star Mantis Boxing Martial Arts Museum was established; authoritative people at home and abroad were invited to vigorously promote the origin and development of Yantai Mantis Boxing; Mantis Boxing masters were organized to travel to Laiyang and Haiyang , Qixia and Zhaoyuan worship the pioneers of Mantis Boxing; in 2004, hundreds of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and foreigners were organized to visit counties and cities where Mantis Boxing was concentrated; the Yantai Martial Arts Association International Mantis Boxing Association was established, and the "2005 Yantai International Martial Arts Festival Yantai Mantis Boxing Exchange Conference" was held; in 2007, a delegation was formed to participate in the Yuncheng League-China Martial Arts Forum and invited the "Travel All Over China" column to Yantai for real-life shooting of Mantis Boxing. In the same year, a large-scale TV remote interview activity organized by the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department filmed a special film "Yantai Mantis Boxing" with the theme of Yu Yongsheng as the clue. The special films were broadcasted on 13 provincial and municipal TV stations in China, including CCTV and South Korea. For a time, "Yantai Mantis Boxing" and "Yantai Mantis Boxing" became a symbol of the country. Later, the Mantis Boxing Qixia Walking, Mantis Boxing Long Traveling, Mantis Boxing Laiyang Walking, Mantis Boxing Haiyang Walking and other Mantis Boxing hometown activities were even more exciting. These activities provide a strong basis for proving that Yantai is the birthplace of Mantis Boxing, which has enabled Mantis Boxing to achieve a qualitative leap in the development of Yantai. In his busy schedule, he also became the endorsement of Yantai martial arts and even Mantis Boxing.
Since 2013, Yu Yongsheng has served as the director of Yantai Nationalities Traditional Sports Training Base and the executive director of Shandong Wushu Sports Association; in 2017, he was elected as a member of the 13th Yantai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Chairman (Legal Person) of Yantai Wushu Sports Association, and Vice President of Yantai Social Organization Federation. The responsibility for changing his identity is also very important. He keeps pace with the times and constantly learns to enrich himself. Someone once said to him, "You are not a government leader. What's the point of calling on martial arts people to learn and carry out activities every now and then?" The implication is that he is proud and does superficial engineering.
When he heard this, he was furious and said sternly: "I am not a government leader, but I am a citizen of this country. If the country does not have a unified leadership and all the non-governmental organizations are in the sky, then will it be a mess?! Our Wushu Association must breathe with the country and the nation and share the same destiny." He took every opportunity to study and actively participated in political study classes organized by relevant departments in the city for four consecutive years from 2016 to 2019. For example, in April 2017, he participated in the 40-day "Research Class for Representatives of New Social Classes in the Province"; in early June 2019, he received the "Don't Forget the Original Intention and Keep the Mission in Mind" class of Yantai CPPCC members at Chongqing University, and both achieved excellent results.
In order to popularize Yantai martial arts and fitness sports, he has been constantly raising new challenges and carrying out various activities. He has hosted the Yantai 10,000-person long-distance running event and the "Tai Chi Enters the Organization" and "Tai Chi Enters the Community" activities many times. Some primary and secondary schools and universities in counties, cities and districts have carried out the "Warcrafts into the Campus" and "Self-defense Techniques into the Campus" public welfare activities. The annual "Yantai International Martial Arts Festival" was rated as a brand event in Shandong Province's sports industry in 2014 and has been successfully held for 15 sessions. "After 15 years of persistence, all the hard work is worth it. If the Yantai Martial Arts business card is more and more perfect, we need to work harder!" Yu Yongsheng said firmly. 2019 is the 16th edition. This year, the publicity and promotion of the Martial Arts Festival can be said to be comprehensive. This will be an unprecedented international event, a festival for martial arts people.
Look at the honors you have won over the years. This is the affirmation of his work by the government and the vast number of martial arts people!
