There are many film and television works that describe Huo Yuanjia and his disciple Chen Zhen, but I personally prefer this "Heroes of Heroes". Jet Li's version of Chen Zhen not only inherits the virtues of Chen Zhen's kung fu and excellent conduct in previous editions, but also adds the content that Chen Zhen combined Chinese kung fu and western boxing because of his modern education in Japan. This is similar to Huang Feihong in the Huang Feihong series that also has his role in saving the country and the people and "combining Chinese and Western", taking its essence and integrating it. It reflects the breadth and depth of Chinese martial arts. So several of the sparring scenes, so far, every time I watch it, it is always breathtaking. Neat movements, sharp eyes, and quick movements; defending the dignity of the old China, which was called the "sick man of East Asia" at that time, made my blood boil as a daughter. In addition to martial arts, the most impressive thing is that when Chen Zhen heard the news of his master Huo Yuanjia's death and insisted on returning to China, when his interested classmate, the Japanese photon, came to see him off, Chen Zhen said to her: "Photon, Don't blame me. Just because we were born in this age, we can't help ourselves..." This sentence. As a Chinese, Chen Zhen's love with Photon was completely unacceptable at that time. The film makes the best comparison, when Huo Yuanjia's son brought Xiaohong, a brothel confidant, into Jingwumen, Xiaohong, who was the least valued prostitute at the bottom of the old society, was accepted by everyone; but for Chen Zhen's sake Everything, even the Japanese photon who sacrificed his reputation to save Chen Zhen, will never get this "tolerance". Reminds me of a saying when people all over the country boycotted Japanese goods: You should be self-improvement first. If the country is not strong, it is useless to send out a hundred Chen Zhen. There are times when a hero can't help himself...
