He is Mr. Liu and the captain of the Cixi Royal Skating Team. What's his name?

In the 1960s and 1970s, before going to the countryside on a large scale, most young people in Beijing were idle at home. In the winter when there is no entertainment, the skating rink becomes the first choice for young people. There are also skating scenes in the TV series legend of mir. Generally speaking. Skating is a sport with certain skills and dangers. If you are not a particularly strong young man, you will easily fall and get hurt. However, the photographer of American Life magazine photographed a competitive skater on the ice rink in Beihai Park on 1946. The skater is Mr. Six-Wu Tongxuan.

The History of Song Dynasty records that the emperor "enjoyed himself in the backyard and watched the ice show". Thus, skating has been a traditional sport in China since ancient times, and it is not an "imported product" from abroad. In the Qing Dynasty, skating gradually became popular among the people and became an important entertainment activity of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty in winter. Emperor Qianlong even designated it as a "national custom".

During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, whenever the lake was frozen in winter, Empress Dowager Cixi would organize some skating boys to skate and play on the frozen Tai Liquid Pool (Beihai and Zhongnanhai) for her appreciation. Among the skates used by Empress Dowager Cixi, there are 30 outstanding skaters, one of whom is Wu Tongxuan, whom Empress Dowager Cixi especially appreciates. Wu Tongxuan has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he knows some fist and fist kung fu. In his skating career for many years, he has been able to combine kung fu with skating and play various tricks. Therefore, Wu Tongxuan was promoted to skating captain by Empress Dowager Cixi.

After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Tongxuan fled to Dalian for refuge, but in winter, he still insisted on skating. Although he occasionally met some foreigners to challenge him, without exception, they were all defeated by Wu Tongxuan. A few years later, Wu Tongxuan came to Tianjin again, but he was still the same. As soon as he had time, he went skating at the skating rink and won applause. In addition, Wu Tongxuan's figure skating was also included in the film, and later, even foreign skating teams invited him as a coach.

Xinmin Daily recorded that he often came to the skating rink in Tang Yilan wearing a black satin cotton-padded jacket and white beard trousers, and played special tricks such as the boy worshiping Guanyin and kicking the sky, which caused applause from all sides. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Wu Tongxuan returned to Beijing. At that time, although he was old and thin, he was still in high spirits and his skating skills remained the same. According to the famous writer Li Ao, when he lived in Beijing as a child, he saw figure skating in Wu Tongxuan.

1947 At the beginning of the year, Xuan Tong, the elder Wu Man, gave a wonderful skating performance in front of Tang Yilan, Beihai. The skating skills such as "Feng Dan facing the sun", "Su Qin holding the sword", "Hag exploring the sea" and "Kicking in the sky" are all mastered by Wu Man Xuan Tong. If he doesn't have deep skating skills, it is very difficult to perform these tricks in the skating rink or dry land with martial arts.

Wu Tongxuan, an old man, has never been married and has no children or daughters, but he has several direct disciples, some are directors of health centers and some are directors of military materials. However, those disciples were unwilling to support him, and Wu Tongxuan never asked them for a penny.

Later, Wu Tongxuan, an old man, had an argument with others. He accidentally injured someone and was put in a detention center. However, there was a draught everywhere in the detention center, and old Uman Xuan Tong unfortunately caught a cold. After three days without food, he died with resentment. If Wu Man Xuan Tong had been born a few decades later, he would have won the Olympic champion with his skating skills.
