In Wang Hongxiang's mind, learning wushu has brought him the most valuable treasure, which is the martial spirit of justice and bravery, as well as the good character of respecting teachers and friends.

In 1997, Wang Hongxiang traveled to Guangzhou alone and entered society too early compared to his peers.

The road is bumpy, the dream does not stop

"The level is very high, and it is these years of exercise so that I have accumulated a lot of experience, but also understand a lot of truth." After that, Wang Hongxiang gradually gained a foothold in Guangzhou.

"What games I watch, such as soccer, track and field, baseball, but my favorite is still heavy athletics, many people think weightlifting is meaningless, but I think that little by little transcendence cohesion of the essence of the whole life." Wang Hongxiang can name many Chinese athletes, such as Zhang Guozheng, Shi Zhiyong, Tan Xue, Zou Shiming ......

Wang Hongxiang - growing up

Watching "Shaolin Temple" inspired martial arts

Wang Hongxiang was born in Jining City, Shandong Province, a simple peasant family. Most people in his town know a few martial arts, and his father, Wang Chilin, is the heir to the Xiajiaquan, and has many martial arts specialties such as Meihuaquan and Dahongquan. Wang Chi-lin see small Hongxiang young will be too strong, the heart has long had the idea of letting it practice martial arts, and therefore often bring out the story of his grandfather to inspire his son: the late Qing Dynasty, Wang Chi-lin's master had been defeated in a competition in the hands of Japanese martial arts masters. Under the shame and indignation, he locked himself into a cave and practiced hard for a year, and when he came out, he found the Japanese again and defeated him in one fell swoop. When Wang Hongxiang was five or six years old, Wang Chilin began to teach him to somersault on the ground, and let him and his own group of students "sparring martial arts" after dinner.

Until small Hongxiang 12 years old when he watched the open-air movie "Shaolin Temple", his determination to learn martial arts is really beginning to sprout, Jet Li in the movie flying wall warrior style to its envy. Coincidentally, the kung fu actor Yu Hai, who played the role of Jet Li's master in the film, then advertised a martial arts school on TV as the principal, which was 100 kilometers away from Wang's home. Little Hongxiang watched the commercial and clamored to learn from the master, and his father agreed to his son's request. Since then, Wang Hongxiang has been boarding at the school. Because of the long distance, Wang Hongxiang, who was afraid of getting carsick and wanted to save money on transportation, returned home only once every two, three, or even six months. When his parents came to see him, they had to ride their bicycles for a morning each time, bringing nothing more than fruit from the family's apple orchard. It's a hard life, but Hongxiang enjoys it because everything about the school is so interesting and new to him.

However, freshness is always limited for children, and as time went by, Wang Hongxiang gradually felt that school life was a bit boring. Not only is the "legendary" principal rarely present, and increasingly heavy schoolwork: every morning at 5:40 to get up at 6:00 a.m. to start practicing, a come up is to run a 10,000 meters, followed by the practice of leg presses, 100-meter sprints, frog jumps and push-ups, which is a set of "morning exercises This set of "morning exercises" must be done before 7:30, otherwise the coach will be served with sticks. After breakfast, four sections of the morning is a cultural class, afternoon practice boxing and knife stick, plus practice physical fitness, after dinner, but also on two cultural classes, to 9:00 p.m. before going to bed. Wang Hongxiang said then every day look forward to rain, because you can not have to go out for morning exercises, sometimes he vaguely heard the sound of rain in his dreams, is happy, suddenly opened his eyes, it turned out to be the upper bunk bedwetting.

At this point, small Hongxiang square know, the movie in the flying wall, and not the real world of martial arts. Can not stand the martial arts school "torture" Wang Hongxiang fled home, he pleaded with his father said, let him do anything, just do not let him go back to school. Childhood always for practicing lazy and father clubbed Wang Hongxiang this time but accidentally did not get beaten, his father to the teacher to understand the situation, patiently taught his son to practice martial arts to have perseverance, must not be afraid of suffering, and to his son's table of their own determination: "Our family is poor, but also to support you to learn, sell iron in a pot to make you learn out." Under the persuasion of a little Hongxiang finally returned to the martial arts school. A year later, his father for his son to pay tuition, ripening apples due to excessive fatigue accidentally pesticide poisoning, fainted, this matter also moved Wang Hongxiang, he was determined to be more difficult to go down the road in this martial arts.

Wang Hongxiang - drifting days

In 1996, Wang Hongxiang enrolled in the Shandong Institute of Physical Education, but due to the professional failed to pass and failed, which is the first low point of his life. At that time, he had thought of giving up, but at the critical moment, his father once again stood up for his son to choose a more promising path: from the martial arts major into the free combat profession. Since then, Wang Hongxiang has been practicing sparring. When he first joined the sparring team, Wang Hongxiang realized that the foundation of martial arts he had developed since childhood enabled him to make rapid progress in this field, and soon his teammates were no longer his opponents. Soon afterward, he was promoted to the varsity team and often traveled with the team to compete.

But just as he was getting better at sparring, an accidental injury sent him to a second low point in his life, several years in the making. During a training session, Wang Hongxiang tore the ligaments on the outside of his thigh and injured the meniscus in his knee. After surgery, doctors said he might not be able to do strenuous exercise again for the rest of his life. "That one hit me very hard, and that injury was by far the worst. At that time, I was devastated, my father's years of hard work had all gone down the drain, and I felt very sorry for him." Wang Hongxiang recalled.

Toward the end of 1997, Wang Hongxiang took a year off from school and decided to quit school and go to the south. Wang Hongxiang stayed in Guangzhou for eight years, during which time he was like an ordinary entrepreneur at the bottom, constantly trying various occupations, trying to find a career that suited him. He worked as a security guard, a street vendor, a salesman, a martial arts tutor, and even ran a $50-a-day drag queen in a number of Hong Kong movies such as "Grouchy Boy". Everything is to make a living, but busy most of the day, Wang Hongxiang found that he still did not find their own direction. Looking at the bustle of the night market in Guangzhou, a speeding sports car on the road, the mood of the desolate Wang Hongxiang once finally could not help but make a phone call back to the father crying on the other end of the microphone that he wanted to go home.

Wang Chilin has also been for his son's heart, after that call, he bought a second-hand car for his son in his hometown, just waiting for his son to return to his hometown to change the line to do agricultural transportation. The more tolerant father, Wang Hongxiang is the more guilty, he knew that so boring life, never is the father's heart to their own expectations. Thinking about it again and again, Wang Hongxiang decided to go back to Guangzhou to look for opportunities. In the meantime, he fought in a bar, which was the first time he stepped into an official ring with so many spectators underneath. After a few years of recuperating from his leg injury, he felt that he should utilize this part-time job to make ends meet while regaining his fighting form. At that time, the bar for the fighters to open a win 600 yuan, a loss of 300 yuan appearance fee standard, the results of the Wang Hongxiang every time the fight is 600 yuan. Until one day in 2006, Wang Hongxiang in the TV saw the "Wulin Feng" audition announcement, he vaguely felt that the time for his father to fulfill his dream has finally come.
