42 years ago, a movie became popular all over the country, and at that time, it directly hit a box office of 160 million with only a dime ticket price, it was the movie "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li.
It is also this film that allows the audience not only to know Jet Li, who has just emerged in the martial arts circle, but also to remember Jet Li's master "Master Tanzong" in the film.
Because the actor of "Master Tanzong" has a great background, he is the inheritor of the Seven Star Mantis Boxing, Yu Hai, his charm is enough to make him favored by two generations of "Shaolin Temple" directors, and he has also won wide acclaim.
Now, Mr. Yu Hai has passed away for 1 year, but his high-spirited appearance on the big screen has always been remembered by the audience, and his martial arts spirit is still flowing in the hearts of his widow and son.
After Yu Hai's death, his son took over the responsibility of martial arts inheritance and continued to carry forward his spirit.

When he first entered the screen, he was a great success
It is rare to be 40 years old and just come out to break into the film and television industry, and Yu Hai is one of them, although he can only be regarded as an unknown junior in the film and television industry at this time, he is a well-known figure in the martial arts world.
At that time, countless people were influenced by Yu Hai to plant a martial arts dream in their hearts, and even the martial arts of today's kung fu superstar Jet Li was also deeply inspired by Yu Hai.
Presumably everyone has seen Jet Li's most classic mantis boxing scene, and many careful viewers have seen Yu Hai's shadow in Jet Li's mantis boxing, and they are full of curiosity about it.
That's right, Jet Li's mantis boxing kung fu was personally passed on to him by Yu Hai, and the relationship between the two of them is also a teacher and a friend, and the relationship between master and apprentice has continued from the play to the outside of the play, and then the audience knows that the relationship between the two of them is so good.
The initial acquaintance of the two generations of martial arts actors is still going back to the first play "Shaolin Temple" in which Yu Hai participated, Yu Hai, who has been concentrating on martial arts, did not think that he would one day appear on the big screen, let alone that he would become a well-known actor because of this.
"There is Bole in the world, and then there is Maxima." Soon, Yu Hai met his Bole and officially started his acting career.
In 1980, when director Zhang Xinyan was preparing the movie "Shaolin Temple", he took a fancy to Yu Hai's unparalleled kung fu, and he immediately invited Yu Hai to participate in the movie and serve as the film's martial arts instructor.
Performing kung fu is no problem for Yu Hai, who has been practicing martial arts all year round, but his heart is also very panicked, because he has never been exposed to acting, is that line too difficult for him?
But it turns out that the lines are quite handy for Hai, and I can't tell that this is an acting novice at all, in the movie, he vividly interprets the image of a strict master and loving father, and has won the love of the audience.
The success of the image of "Master Tanzong" has made Yu Hai a "sweet and sweet" in the eyes of many great directors, and he has also been able to show his ambitions in the film and television industry.
After becoming famous, Yu Hai successively participated in a series of classic action movies such as "Elder Tongtian", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Tai Chi Grandmaster", etc.
Even another martial arts star, Wu Jingjing, was deeply influenced by Yu Hai, who has always had a stinky temper, as long as he was in front of the "grandmaster" Yu Hai, he would respectfully call Yu Hai "Master" like a child who made a mistake.
Yu Hai's ability to create so many images of martial arts masters is inseparable from his practice of martial arts since he was a child, but what everyone didn't expect was that his physical condition when he was a child was really different from the title of "martial arts master"!
From a sick seedling to a martial arts superstar
When he was a child, Yu Hai was a real "sick seedling", and he fell ill twice in three days, which made his not wealthy family even worse.
It's definitely not okay for children to get sick all the time! Every time his parents saw Yu Hai sick, their eyes were full of distress, so in order to make Yu Hai's sick body better, his father had a thought.
Go up the mountain and practice martial arts! Yu Hai's father found a "martial arts master" mantis boxing master Lin Jingshan, and ruthlessly entrusted the sea to Master Lin.
But what I didn't expect was that his father's operation of reluctantly cutting his love really changed Yu Hai's body, and after practicing martial arts, Yu Hai's physical pain gradually disappeared, revealing only a strong physique.
In order to truly get the true inheritance of Master Lin Jingshan's mantis boxing, Yu Hai used all his strength, and he even observed the mantis every day in order to practice mantis boxing well, and experienced the mystery of mantis boxing.
With the Master's teachings over the years and Yu Hai's painstaking study, his mantis boxing has improved day by day, and he has won the National Youth Mantis Boxing Championship and the All-Around Championship.
Not only that, Yu Hai has led Chinese martial arts delegations many times, visiting more than 30 countries such as France, Turkey and Egypt, and he has made a lot of contributions to spreading Chinese martial arts to all over the world.
Yu Hai, who inherited the mantis boxing, did not stop the pursuit of martial arts, he began to improve and innovate the mantis boxing, and his most powerful move was the "mantis catching cicadas", and the mantis boxing was practiced perfectly.
Many viewers were amazed by Hai's mantis boxing, which was as flexible and cunning as a praying mantis, making it elusive.
After having excellent results, Yu Hai did not forget his original intention, and he also set up the only mantis boxing training base in China in 2001, in order to continue to inherit the martial arts culture and mantis boxing method.
And such a cold-looking martial arts master Yu Hai also has a happy family life.
The "cold-faced and ruthless" master in the play is a good man in the Gu family in real life
In 1969, Yu Hai, who has been portraying a generation of grandmasters on the screen all year round, entered the palace of marriage, he and his wife live a low-key and happy life, and the iron-faced ruthless master also has a sensual life.
In the second year of marriage, Yu Hai's wife gave birth to twin sons, one named Yu Bo and the other Yu Tao.
This made many viewers happy for Yu Hai, because his mantle was inherited, and sure enough, Yu Hai's two sons really began to love martial arts and have been following in their father's footsteps since they were children.
Under the careful cultivation of their father, Yu Bo and Yu Tao successfully entered the provincial martial arts team, which was also the beginning of truly inheriting the mantle of their father Yu Hai's martial arts. The achievements of the two sons also made Yu Hai, as a father, feel very pleased, and his mantis boxing also has an heir.
However, the good times will not last long, in 2023, 81-year-old Yu Hai will pass away due to illness, and as soon as the news came out, many people were saddened by this and expressed their condolences.
At Yu Hai's memorial service, many actors and directors who had worked with him expressed their nostalgia and respect for him, and although his beloved apprentice Wu Jing was not present, he also laid a wreath to express his respect for his teacher.
Yu Hai's death undoubtedly brought endless sorrow to his family, and his wife and sons seemed to feel his presence at home in the days of his absence.
When Yu Hai's wife was packing up Yu Hai's relics, she looked at the knife her husband used and the martial arts clothes he wore have become precious memories.
What warmed the hearts of all netizens was that Yu Hai's two sons decided to inherit their father's martial arts career, let their father's spirit pass on, and carry forward the Chinese martial arts culture.
On October 1, 2024, Wu Jing promoted his new movie "Volunteers: The Battle for Survival" on social media, and he has also made a lot of contributions to Chinese martial arts, and hopes that he will continue to create more brilliance in his martial arts career in the future!

Whenever Yu Hai is mentioned, his family always recalls the love and support he gave them in life with gratitude and nostalgia.
Yu Hai used his life to interpret what is perseverance and struggle, but also let us understand the true meaning of love and responsibility, although Yu Hai has left us, but his spirit will always remain in the hearts of everyone who loves life and art.
