Wang Ziping, a Hui nationality, was born in 1881 in a martial arts family in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, the hometown of martial arts. He and Tong Zhongyi are also called "two outstanding figures in Cangzhou". I followed Yang Hong to practice martial arts since I was a child, and then joined the army to coach soldiers with martial arts.

at the age of 16 or 17, I have achieved martial arts. Once he was drinking tea at the Liuyuan Tea House in Jinan, and there was a mouthful of water to push the mill by the well. He used his arm to hold down the big millstone that was flying, and he was called "the king of strength".

The Germans built Jiaoji Railway, and there was a stone millstone at Qingzhou Railway Station. The Germans wanted to embarrass him and deliberately provoked him, saying, "Can you lift it?" Wang Ziping just laughed, went up to him and raised the stone millstone to his head with both hands. The Germans were surprised and thought he was doing magic tricks.

Defeat Cantel, Russia

In 1919, Cantel, a Russian strongman, wrote on a long banner in front of Beijing Central Park: "Warmly welcome Mr. Cantel, the world's strongest strongman who has beaten all 46 countries, to perform in Beijing."

Demonstrating to China through contests, releasing the cruel words of "the sick man of East Asia".

But as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he received a lot of gauntlets from people in China martial arts circles. Cantel was a little scared, so the embassy stepped in to put pressure on the Beiyang warlord government and changed the "martial arts competition" to "martial arts competition".

The huge advertisement shows a foreign strongman standing tall and standing on a Chinese.

He went on stage for two days, and no one came on stage to fight, which made Cantel even more arrogant. On the third day, Wang Ziping was furious and jumped into the ring.

He dodged the truth by ignoring the light, dodged, unfolded, fluttered and moved, and Cantel's heavy punch hit the air, which made him scream. After Wang Ziping avoided his momentum, he knocked Cantel to the ground twice with "Five-way Boxing", and the people in China were ecstatic.

When the soldiers and police maintaining order saw that foreigners were defeated, they were afraid of offending foreigners and quickly surrounded the ring!

"No, the police are arresting people. Run, hero!" The patriotic masses in the audience stopped the road of the military police and shouted, and the audience suddenly became a mess.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Ziping saluted the audience left and right, kicked over Lu Ping in the background, jumped out of the ring and left.

Cantel got up from the ground, and he was so ashamed that he ran around with his head in his arms. After three days in the ring, he collapsed in just a few hours.

The Morning Bell, which was edited by Comrade Li Dazhao at that time, disclosed the matter on September 16th with the title "Hercules dies". Many years later, it is still the talk of the people at the dinner table in Beijing.

Defeating the "World Martial Arts Field"

In 1921, American Sullivan formed a martial arts group to pose in Shanghai. The main members are George (USA), weighing 295 pounds, Peter (Germany), weighing 315 pounds, Dinkel (UK) and so on.

they think that they are full of talents and invincible. Play the banner of "the world's competitive martial arts field" and publish a reward in the newspaper: anyone who can punch them will be rewarded with 511 yuan, and if they are knocked to the ground, they will be rewarded with 1111 yuan.

The Shanghai Wushu community has agreed to invite Wang Ziping to gallants.

Before the game, Sullivan said, "To show the friendship and sincerity of both sides, please say a few words to the audience on the spot."

Wang Ziping stepped onto the platform, and before he could speak, a big man appeared behind him, and he was punched, but Wang dodged. The man turned around and punched him again, but Wang Ziping avoided, then flew up, kicked the man to the ground, and then punched him back.

that night, "Wan Guo Jing Wu Chang" sent a note saying that the contract was invalid and the game was cancelled. And said the thug wasn't one of them.

Wang Ziping sent a message to Sullivan, saying, "If you don't play, I will play, and I won't stop until I win or lose!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sullivan packed his bags and left China despondently.

In 1922, Qi Baishi, a famous painter, wrote a banner of "Fighting tigers in the south mountain and driving long dumplings in the deep pool" and presented it to Wang Ziping, praising his noble national integrity, skillful skills and profound martial arts.

Wang Ziping later defeated Japanese judoka Miyamoto in Jinan. After that, he went to Shanghai to cure injuries and set bones as his career. He taught boxing in Jingwu Sports Association, Chinese Wushu Association, Wang Ziping Summer Wushu Workshop and Jingqiang Wushu Association.

In September, 1958, the National Wushu Association was founded, and Wang Ziping was elected as the vice chairman of Wushu Association.
