“My film has influenced many children to abandon school believing that martial arts can change their destiny. I hope people stop idealizing Temple of Shaolin Too much. ” – Jet li, with red eyes, reveals a reassured truth.
In 1982, the film Temple of Shaolin It has become a box office phenomenon in China, a catapulin Jet Li for celebrities as an icon of arts and martial films. The film has not simply changed his life-he transformed the dilicized time Temple of Shaolin In a commercial hub, attracting global attention and significant revenue.
However, as reported by 163.com from China, a curious fact emerged: Jet there has never been seen in the same setting as Shi Yongxin, the abbot recently removed from its position in Temple of Shaolin. This disconnection between two key figures in the rise of the temple to global fame has triggered speculation.
A reflection of jet li, shared by 136.com, sheds light on the emotional load that brings:
“My film struck countless children. They abandoned school, dreaming that Kung Fu could change their lives. I really hope that people do not romantic the temple of Shaolin too much.”
During the 80s and 90s, Shaolino’s mania crossed China. Little of children crowded in the temple, wishing to learn “Real Kung Fu”. Unfortunately, many were deceived and exploited, returning only with injuries and the doubtful title of “disciple of Shaolin”. Some have become background actors, other security guards and many have simply returned to agriculture.
Martial arts Wang Baoqiang Once shared: “I came to the Temple of Shaolin after seeing the film, thinking I could jump on roofs and walls. But most of the days I just transported water and I swept the floors.”
The child actor Ashton Chen, nicknamed “Golden Boy of Shaolin”, became a disciple at the age of two, performed the Kung Fu at the age of three and acted in the films at the age of four. His father, a martial arts coach, personally brought him to Shi Yongxin, hoping to ride the wave of Shaolinfame.
But as the article observes, “The performances of Shi Xiaolong seemed more like meeting company kPi than spiritual training. It was not a disciple – it was a product of the Temple of Shaolin.”

The real martial arts do not mean jumping walls or flying roofs. It comes from the heart, conviction and original human intention. May Shaolin Temple once again brings peace, not just a profit.”
