Source of inspiration: The Liangshan Fighting Orphans incident has been hotly discussed on the Internet in the past two years. The story of Liangshan Fighting Orphans can be called the Chinese version of "Dangal". In order to prevent the orphans from embarking on a criminal path, a veteran and former special police adopted orphans and taught them Sanda fighting skills, and cultivated a considerable number of orphans into talents.
In 2017, a video about "Fighting Orphans" sparked heated discussion. In the video, two 14-year-old boys from Liangshan, Sichuan, who lost their parents, were adopted by a fighting club in Chengdu. They usually practice mixed martial arts and occasionally participate in commercial performances. In the released footage, two children were fighting in an iron cage, surrounded by onlookers taking photos and shouting.
This directional video brought the fighting club to the forefront of public opinion. Under pressure from public opinion, the local government sent the children back to their hometowns to receive compulsory education. However, this approach stifled to a certain extent the children's hope of pursuing their dreams out of the mountains. The orphans expressed their desire to stay in the club, triggering another wave of public opinion among netizens. The wave of public opinion turned into sympathy for the children and the club, support for the club's practices, and support for the children to pursue their dreams.
Under the pressure of strong public opinion, the club was transformed into a sports school, which not only met the needs of compulsory education but also satisfied the children's desire to pursue their dreams. The incident was finally resolved satisfactorily in 2018.
