On December 8, 1963, in Tokyo, Japan, a car was galloping in heavy rain. Japan's national hero - the best wrestler Li Daoshan gasped in the car, and bright red blood surged from his fingers covering his abdomen.
77 days later, Li Daoshan died of acute suppurative peritonitis . (The direct cause of death was a complication caused by infection, not a knife injury. At that time, Li Daoshan was stunned by the arrival of reputation and wealth, and did not maintain self-discipline, which led to unhealthy physical condition, so he died of infection.) The police quickly investigated the case, and the results obtained were shocking.
Li Daoshan was stabbed to death by a gangster with a knife while arguing with a gangster after drinking in a nightclub. What is even more shocking is - Lidaoshan - Japan's national hero Lidaoshan is not a Japanese, but an Korean .

Li Daoshan was born on November 14, 1924 in Xinfengli, Hongwon-gun, Hamgyong South Province, North Korea, and his natal was Kim Shin-rok. Later, he moved to Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan and became the adopted son of the farmer Hirota family, and changed his name to Hirota Mitsuhiro.
, which is quite talented in , sumo , Daoshan became a sumo wrestler on stage at the age of 16, and became a top player in the Japanese sumo wrestling class at the age of 24. But Li Daoshan, who is still called Mitsuhiro Hakuta, is unhappy due to ethnic issues and his own moody personality, has a bad relationship with other contestants in the dojo. In 1950, Li Daoshan cuts his hair bun and leaves the sumo wrestling.
Lidaoshan
After withdrawing from the sumo wrestling industry, Lidaoshan did not waste his strong body. By chance, Li Daoshan was exposed to professional wrestling and underwent three years of professional wrestling training in Japan and the United States.
In 1954, Li Daoshan returned to China and established the Japanese Professional Wrestling Association JWA (equivalent to the branch of the American Professional Wrestling Association NWA in Japan), and hid his origin. On February 19, as a Japanese, he fought a 14-game battle with the famous Japanese fighter Kimura Masahiko and the American professional wrestler Sharp brothers.
At that time, Japan was defeated and the economy was in a recession. Americans took over Japan and Japanese national sentiment was high. Li Daoshan's image of hitting Americans on the ring made him quickly become famous in Japan. In the following years, the continuous defeat of the Americans and their strong wrestling ability made Li Daoshan a household name in Japan, and was even regarded as a national hero by the Japanese. During the Lidaoshan fire, Japan's economy recovered rapidly (in fact, it doesn't matter much), and many people even called the economic recovery at that time "Lidaoshan prosperity."
Lidaoshan
Lidaoshan was the most glorious when JWA's program was always in the Japanese TV program's ratings for the first few
On May 24, 1963, a game between Lidaoshan and the White-Faced Magic set a record of 267% of the ratings of Japanese TV station html, and has not been broken yet.
and even Kim Il-sung gave a Bentley at that time. (At that time, no one knew the identity of the Koreans in Lidaoshan, but most of the Japanese people were still deceived by him)
While Lidaoshan was in a state of beauty, his moody personality also laid the groundwork for his premature death.
