Zhiquan Qing is a notable kung fu master in Hong Kong. “Kung fu martial arts is mainly for helping others, not for fighting.” He said.

Recently, he came to Foshan, Guangdong Province to give free kung fu martial arts courses to the the disabled people. He has opened 2 Wing Chun training centers in Foshan and nearly 100 disabled people have received his free kung fu trainings in them.

“A lot of people like the kung fu martial arts and about 40% of the Hong Kong residents have learned some kung fu martial arts.” Qing said. He was born in 1955 and has the asthma from his childhood. He can only watch his little friends playing, but can not join them when he is a kid. Because of this, he decided to learn the kung fu martial arts. “At first I learned kung fu martial arts in order to fight other people and to protect myself.” he said.

Now Qing named this purpose “the superficial heroism”. He started to learn the kung fu martial arts from the age of 10. In 1973, he attended many kung fu competitions, using his Wing Chun kung fu. He won a champion in the 4th South East Asia Kung Fu Martial Arts Championship in 1976. Six years later, he won a champion in the 6th International Kung Fu Martial Arts Championship. He also got a big surprise by learning the kung fu martial arts: his asthma disappeared during the peroid of his kung fu trainings. Maybe this is a gift for his several years of hard kung fu trainings.

For a kung fu fighter, sports injuries are very common. In order to deal with these injuries, Qing started to learn Tuina (Chinese massage for curing the sports injuries) and the theories of the traditional Chinese medicine.

In 1998, Qing came to Foshan, Guangdong Province and made some good friends here. They are all the fans of the kung fu martial arts and they often do the kung fu trainings together. One time, one of this friends told him that he paid more than 5000 rmb for the phone bills, talking to Qing about the kung fu martial arts. Qing was so touched by his words and he started to come to Foshan very frequently. In 2006, he opened 2 Wing Chun Training Centers in Foshan. One is in Nanhaiguichang and the other is in Shundele.

Recommended by this friend, Qing started to give kung fu martial arts courses to the doctors and nurses in the Foshan Chinese Medicine Hospital. In this place, lots of disabled people joined these kung fu martial arts courses. They are also very interested in these courses but they do not have the good opportunities to be taught by a real kung fu master. Qing thought this as a good chance to helping others. In 2007, Qing began to give free “Baduanjin” kung fu courses to the disabled people in the Foshan Chinese Medicine Hospital. These courses are also part of the convalescent plans for these disabled people.

“Some people believe that I am stupid. I can earn 500 rmb for a hour by teaching the kung fu martial arts courses, but all the courses here are free in Foshan. I just think that what I did is helpful for the disabled people. I want them to learn more and practise more kung fu. It will be good for the recovery of these people. I am just doing the correct things I believe.” Qing said.

Enlai Zhou is the first prime minister of P.R.China. Every Chinese people knows that he is a handsome gentleman and is very nice to other people. But I found a big surprise about this famous prime minister of China. Enlai Zhou was the minister of the Central Military Commission and the leader of Central Special Department (like the CIA of U.S.). He was acting as a military officer, not a civil officer for a long time. After the establishment of P.R.China (in 1949), he became the first prime minster. Lots of people knows that he only sleeps for 3 or 4 hours a day, but still in a very good physical condition every day. Actually, what makes him so special is the Chinese kung fu martial arts.

Enlai Zhou is like a kung fu master in the Chinese Communist Party. His kung fu martial arts supervisor is the famous Zuanxia Han. Mr Han is the Number 1 kung fu master in the notable Chinese kung fu movie – Wulinzhi (means “history of the Chinese kung fu martial arts” in Chinese language). He is as famous as Yuanjia Huo (Jet Li’s movie Fearless is about him) in the history of China. When Enlai Zhou was studying in the Nankai University, Tianjin, China( 1913 – 1917 ), he was interesting in both the Communism theories and the kung fu martial arts. Zuanxia Han was running a kung fu martial arts center in Tianjin during this period of time and Enlai Zhou learned this first kung fu martial arts course here. What Zuanxia Han is good at is the famous “Xingyi Bagua” kung fu, he defeated a lot of kung fu martial arts fighters using this “Xingyi Bagua” kung fu. He even killed a big Russian fighter in the boxing ring and this event made him very famous in China.

In the famous Whampoa Military Academy, Enlai Zhou was the minister of the General Political Department. He invited Zuanxia Han to be the chief kung fu martial arts supervisor of this military academy. When they met again there, Mr Han continued to teach Enlai Zhou the kung fu martial arts. In this school, Enlai Zhou learned a lot about the “Xingyi Bagua” kung fu martial arts from Zuanxia Han. Mr Han learned a lot from Enlai Zhou too. “Enlai Zhou is ambitious and aspiring youth. I teach him the knowledge of the kung fu martial arts and he teaches me how to be a honest and upstanding man.” Mr Han said.

One thing I found very interesting is that Enlai Zhou established the Central Special Department (like the CIA of U.S.). In this mysterious department of the Chinese Communist Party, he was acting as the supervisor for all the secret-service agents. His good knowledge of the kung fu martial arts helped him a lot in this special position. ( the tasks of the Central Special Department are: ensure the security of the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, collect secret information, kill the traitors, rescue the prisoners from the enemy, establish the secret radio stations )

Enlai Zhou is both the kung fu martial arts teacher and the kung fu master in this special department. He rescued the prisoners for several times and executed traitors like: Jiaxing He, Bingshi Dai, Xing Bai. He even helped the Chinese Communist Party to kill the Kuomintang’s secret-service agents – Bing Wang and Shaowu Ma. Because of these, Enlai Zhou was called “Wu Hao” ( means “kung fu martial arts” and “high aspirations” in Chinese language ) during this period of time. All his special actions are named “Sword of Wu Hao”. He is such a good kung fu master and even the leader of the Kuomintang’s secret-service agents said this: “If we caught Enlai Zhou, the whole Chinese Communist Party will collapse.”
