3.some things in history cause people to die so each they are making a video on history the actors they put in some the people will not believe
1)In Real life it is much more painstakingly.

3) The producers do not really knw the whole story and made the movie up..people might believe the movie and people might go around telling people a fake history story.

ReplyDelete1. He was not from a rich family. He engaged in an agricultural occupation, he also worked as a porter in a pharmacy and sold firewood too.
ReplyDelete2.No. He actually fought a British wrestler, Hercules O'Brien.In 1901, one of his students showed him a leaflet. It carried an advertisement about a Russian boxer, who proclaimed himself as "Matchless in China", and again in Shanghai with a British boxer, both protesting their greatness, but when Huo met their challenge neither bothered to show.
3. No, he was not. It is rumored that he had been poisoned by the Japanese as revenge for their defeat during the Judo competition but this is speculation. Some people believe that Huo Yuanjia may have died due to incorrect changes made to his medicine and incorrect treatment by his new Chinese doctor. Others speculate that the European colonists were threatened by the rise of Chinese nationalism and had him poisoned.
4.Huo Yuan Jia had three sons,two daughters,seven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
