Dongguan Tea Mountain Farmers Wear 580 Jin Of Iron Shoes Walking Freely

A young man pursuing

A few days ago, "Liu Tian Mei" Liu Mei, an interview with reporters in tea mountain, and at the door of her own, showed reporters performing stunts with 580 feet of iron shoes on their feet.

Each time Liu Mei had a steady and heavy stride, the ground made a dull noise, and the cry of "wow" from time to time in the crowd was full of admiration and admiration in his eyes.

When Liu Mei walked away nearly ten meters off the iron shoes, the wife who was guarding his side immediately loosened her grip on his hands, and handed the wet towel and cold water to her sweaty husband. At that moment, Liu Mei, the farmer's "iron shoe king", was very happy and proud.

Twenty years run five double lead shoes

Liu Mei, who was born in a rural family in 1965, has a girl's name, but she is tough and tough.

When he was 13 years old, he was inspired by Chen Jingkai, a Dongguan Shilong weightlifter, who broke the world record for 9 times. He dreamed of becoming a weightlifter and failed to realize his dream because of lack of exercise opportunities.

Later, he made up his mind to carry out self running training. Because of lack of professional coach guidance, he failed in physical education at junior high school and failed to enter Dongguan sports school for further study.

Even so, Liu Mei's enthusiasm for sports has not diminished. He insists on ten kilometers long distance exercise every day, rain or shine.

Liu Mei's obsession with sports was strongly opposed by his parents for fear of affecting their studies, and his persistence in dreams was also criticized by others.

Liu Mei said, "when I was in middle school, I always ignored other people's eyes.

At that time, influenced by kung fu movies, I tried hard to imitate Shaolin Temple and martial arts books, and tried to sandbag every day.

Later, I thought it was too much trouble to tie the sandbags. After a lot of hard work, I decided to run the lead on the sole of the shoe.

After setting the method, Liu Mei began to practice and hollow out a pair of newly bought sports soles.

At first, two shoes were balanced and filled with 2.5 kg of total weight of lead. After adjustment, they gradually increased their weight from 2.5 kg to 25 kg.

In recent 20 years, Liu Mei has insisted on long-distance running. It is said that she exercises three days in summer, 39 in winter and 5 pairs of lead shoes in grinding, and has also made amazing feet and stamina with 50 feet and 50 kilometers running.

Send heroes to challenge the folk

With the increase in the weight bearing capacity and the improvement of training effect, Liu Mei's confidence is high, and many entries for the long-distance race in Dongguan have won the good results of the second runner up.

In 2004, Liu Mei entered the Hongkong marathon race by participating in a travel agency, and competed with professional athletes in the top ten.

There are more opportunities to go out and more information.

Liu Mei knows a lot of folk high men: Henan's Wu Baoxin feet wear 128 kilograms of iron shoes can walk freely, created in Puyang, Henan, foot shoes wearing iron shoes 1.5 meters to complete the "three step layup" Chinese mass sports record; Hunan Zhang Zhenghui had worn 264 kilograms of iron shoes to break Guinness records; Lai Yingying's feet in Fujian 163 kilograms of iron shoes can pull 9 men with an average weight of more than 65 kilograms of strong men pickup trucks, pull away fifteen meters.

After knowing the information, Liu Mei was amazed and dissatisfied.

Now that a mountain is more than a mountain high, Liu Mei has made a lot of efforts to train these folk high men to challenge Zhang Zhenghui, the north and Henan Wu Bao Xin in Hunan, and to challenge Zhang Zhenghui, Wu Baoxin, Lai Yingying and other folk shoe king.

In Jin Yong's swordsman novels, the story of Jianghu martial arts plays a variety of forms. The challenge book issued by Liu Mei has triggered a "tsunami" in the folk wear iron shoes industry, but it has been hard to meet the opportunity of these folk heroes.

Since Liu Mei can't win the battle in front of him, he wants to wear the world's most important iron shoes to break the world record and become the world's first "iron shoe king".

In 2009, Liu Mei set the stage for the first martial arts conference in Dongguan (China), and successfully challenged the 580 kilograms of iron shoes to walk freely.

The next target is Guinness's record.

Speaking of these 580 pairs of iron shoes weighing up to 580 Jin, Liu Mei said with self mockery, "this is what I have been designing for nearly a hundred nights, and only cost 8000 yuan for the purchase of materials. In addition, it is found that the total cost of these shoes is more than ten thousand yuan."

Liu Mei's father said that those shoes had been fully done for three months, because they had to ride bicycling to subsidize their families during the day, and Liu Mei had to work late every night.

Liu Mei's design of these iron shoes is from their selection, design, modeling, model making and assembly.

It is hard to build these shoes, and the sweat and sweat of practicing iron shoes for more than 20 years also created miracles.

But because of lack of publicity, packaging and promotion, compared with Zhang Zhenghui, Wu Baoxin and other "iron shoes king", Liu Mei's popularity is far away.

After the end of the interview, Liu Mei told reporters that 580 kilograms of iron shoes were not the limit. He had worn 7 feet of iron shoes with a total weight of 600 Jin.

Liu added: "since China joined the WTO in 2002, it has encouraged Chinese people to challenge Guinness and think that they have no other skills and can only find a way out in sports.

Next, we plan to build a pair of iron shoes with a total weight of 630 Jin. We should wear these iron shoes to break the world Guinness record.
