In the movie, Chen Desen uses a madman like "Feng Yuxiu" to interpret the essence of Kung Fu. Feng Yuxiu was a martial idiot, and he was ruthless and merciless. In several fight scenes about Feng Yuxiu, he always tried to kill people when he came on stage, trying to kill people quickly. In the duel with the king of the catcher, in the face of the surrender of the king of the catcher, Feng Yuxiu continued to kill him. Chen Desen used such a person close to the devil to tell the audience that kung fu is used to kill people.
Kung Fu is a killing technique, and this truth has appeared in many martial arts novels. In martial arts novels, one often asks what kind of kung fu is good kung fu, and the answer is usually the one that can kill people the fastest is good kung fu. The real master is a blockbuster if he doesn't make a sound, and he tries to solve his opponent with one move, instead of taking a long time to solve it like ordinary people. Feng Yuxiu likes to say when he is dueling with others, "We will fight against each other, and we will also decide between life and death", because he believes that kung fu is used to kill people, and then the duel must be divided between life and death. Kung Fu was born in China a long time ago. After thousands of years of circulation, it has long lost its original essence. Nowadays, people's understanding of Kung Fu is limited to physical exercise and street juggling, which also leads to why there is no real Kung Fu in contemporary society, and people's cognition of Kung Fu still stays in ancient times hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
In modern society, people learn kung fu more for exercising or performing. But in reality, their efforts are often useless in the event of a dangerous situation. Is kung fu for performance, no. Is it for exercising? No. The ancients invented kung fu for the purpose of killing people. The reason why Feng Yuxiu was so powerful was not only his own efforts, but also his mentality. With his murderous heart, he was already superior in aura. At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist Xia Houwu killed his opponent in a martial arts competition and served three years in prison. After coming out three years later, his heart has softened, which also caused him to be at a disadvantage in the first few duels with Feng Yuxiu. In the final decisive battle, Xiahouwu, who had a real fire, finally became murderous and defeated Feng Yuxiu in an instant. But the funny thing is that Xiahouwu remembered his promise to his junior sister at the last moment, and his heart softened again, and he was immediately attacked by Feng Yuxiu. In the end, Feng Yuxiu was only saved by the police.
One person in "One Man's Martial Arts", I think it refers to Feng Yuxiu. In the whole film, he is the only person who truly understands the essence of kung fu. Although there were many kung fu masters in that film, they were all people who had forgotten the essence of kung fu. For Chen Desen, Feng Yuxiu was the only martial artist in the vast martial arts forest. The definition of the word "Wulin" in modern society is constantly being rewritten, and each rewrite makes Kungfu gradually lose its essence. After Feng Yuxiu, only Xiahouwu was considered a real martial artist, but after Xiahouwu, there was no martial arts in Hong Kong, and there was no real kung fu. Chen Desen also took this film to say goodbye to the once passionate and reverie Kung Fu world.
