newspaper reporter Xu Qiyan
traveled to the North Xie level to Kunming. In the past 10 years, the 48 year old man, who called himself "beaten professional", has been making a living by being beaten in bars and nightclubs all over the country. Yesterday, for three days, he was still waiting for "brokers" to contact "beaten" venues and businesses, but he could see that he was full of confidence.
Xie Shuiping has taken "beating" as the cause of life - the guests make fun of them, and they make money, even the wife and daughter are very hard against it. He said that several bars had been contacted and the attendance fee was being discussed. "It is expected that the attendance fee will be around 3000 yuan in Kunming".
besides, he hopes to go to the United States next year to perform, and he will pay an idol to Bruce Lee in Seattle.
the first "hit" was a plot of fun
Xie Shuiping didn't imagine a big, medium sized water bottle with his hand, and only a white T-shirt "hit the professional", revealing his identity. This time, Kun, Xie stayed in a village in a village in Guandu district. He had already used to face the media.
"10 years ago, we began to do this." Xie Shuiping said he was a filial piety in Hubei. He worked as a decorator in Guangzhou 10 years ago. In 2004, Xie had sprouted an idea after a supermarket set up for promotion. He took the initiative to perform on stage and let people smash his head with a bottle.
"it was really fun at that time." Xie Shuiping said. Since then, "beaten" outside the supermarket has become part of his part-time job. It takes more than a month to fight. "Sometimes I pay 200 yuan for myself, who will knock me down." Seeing Xie's level drew the source of tourists, the boss agreed with him to give 50 yuan for a show, and then the price slowly rose.
Xie Shuiping said that he was "beaten" by Qigong, and was a family member of Kungfu. When he was beaten, he concentrated all his strength on his stomach. "My grandfather also worked hard. When I was more than 10 years old, I began to practice and learn some routines." He said proudly that he had never been hurt by "beating" for more than 10 years.
to make money to make money to a lot of cities
see "hit" with the income, Xie level began to frequent various kinds of night fields and bars in Guangzhou, and then his footprints spread throughout many cities throughout the country.
"the guests volunteered to fight me, in principle, for 20 minutes and three for a guest. But sometimes the guests will delay more. " Xie Shuiping introduced that when performing in bars, the stage was painted with yellow lines, and guests were allowed to hit his abdomen. If you drop the level of thanks or shake it, the guest will get the drink from the bar owner.
"basically can not make me shake, it is even more impossible to knock down." But sometimes I have to move my feet and draw a tie. Xie Shuiping said that his performance cost to more than 2000 yuan, down to several hundred yuan.
if we say "hit first" is fun at the beginning, then "beating" is just to make money. Xie Shuiping said that he did not think of it for a living when he came out of the road. Guests were invited to eat the night. Please drink a bottle of wine and not receive money, but later the idea was completely denied. "No money can't live." He speaks bluntly.
"I don't think this job is low. I am not rewarded for nothing, I am paid by my labor. " Xie Shuiping said that at present, besides the performance, he will also receive tips, with a monthly income of around 20 thousand yuan.
about family
wife and daughter against but still will continue to do
to join the "beat" cause of thanks, family life is somewhat discord, the wife and two daughters are opposed to his job. Xie has been separated from his wife for 5 years and has little contact with her daughters.
"do you think the job is beautiful?" Is it glorious? " This is what the family has said most to him. Xie Shuiping said his early wife even made a divorce, and later he took his wife to see two performances. His wife's idea seemed to have changed a little. "It's no use against it. I'll continue to do it. They do not support them now, nor do they agree. " Xie Shuiping's wife and daughter now live in Guangzhou. He did not return home this Spring Festival.
"do not ask for much reward, but your business must be done well." Xie Shuiping said.

48 years old, there is no more planning for the future.
but Xie also expressed his wish in the short term that he would try to go to the United States next year and perform there. If possible, I would like to be interviewed by the local media. "By the way to Seattle, to worship Bruce Lee, he is a man I admire."
