Folk Hero

Today, I talk about Folk Hero, Folk Hero always played an important role in the history. They are formal, but they are great, because they sacrificed a lot, even their lives.
In every country, they have their own Folk Hero. In America, I know a man who is folk hero in America, his name is Davy Crockett. David Crockett (August 17, 1786 – March 6, 1836) was a celebrated 19th-century American folk hero, and people also named Davy Crockett and often by the epithet “King of the Wild Frontier.” He represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives served in the Texas Revolutions and died at the Battle of the Alamo. If you want to know more about him, I recommend you go to this website. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett
In China, There are many different kinds of folk heroes, he was Wong Fei Hung. He is a person who influenced China until now. He could use Kung Fu Remix, when he alive, he helped many people escape the control of bad guys. So many people viewed him as hero at that time. Since that, he is a hero in every Chinese heart. People start to learn Kung Fu Remix because of him. Wong was a master of "Hung Fist". He systematized the predominant style of "Hung Fist" and choreographed its version of the famous "Tiger Crane Paired Form Fist", which incorporates his "Ten Special Fist" techniques. If you are interested in him, I think you can go to this website. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wong_Fei_Hung
After I read their information, I know although they both heroes, but they have different goals, they borned in different year. And they were good at different things. They also have similar things is that they helped people, they were viewed as hero in people’s heart. They didn’t mind sacrifice their lives, they both hope have a better life. Tell the truth, I like Wong Fei Hung, because I know more about him, he was a good and great person, I really proud of him. More than just he was good at Kung Fu, and I like his personality, he was kind. But I am always affect by folk heroes, because they took us many special and meaningful memorizes.

  3. Wow, very nice job, Bell. I am very interested in this "Kung Fu Remix" and the "Hung Fist Technique" - it might be useful for me in dealing with students in the future. You have done a great job with this assignment: you explained fully the two folk heroes. You need to offer some more detailed comparison between the two: how exactly are they different/similar? Also, I'd like to hear more about your opinion and why you prefer Feihong more (other than the fact that you 'know him' better).
