in an interview, lee soo-hyun said that he met xu shaoqiang in 1971. they were both in the first training class, but he left after only three weeks of training and came back in the third training class. he recalled the 1975 collaboration in the movie "king of the orangutans" shi was very happy to be filming in india. he also mentioned that he disappeared during the 30th episode of "the transformation of the silkworm". no one could find him at that time, so he had to find him himself and helped many producers contact him for work.

li xiuxian said that they have known each other for more than half a century and have too many memories. he said that xu shaoqiang lived up to his reputation as a hero, "this old friend is a real hero. when we go out for a drink, he must pay the bill first. he will not eat and drink arbitrarily, and he will do whatever he wants regardless of whether he has money or not." pay the bill first. he was also very happy in the martial arts world. when he saw a martial artist who had no job, he would give it to him no matter how much money he had. once he saw a martial artist injured, he gave him all the money he had. the name of a hero is hard to come by.”

li xiuxian also mentioned that the last time he met him was in hong kong two months ago, "he was in good spirits at that time. our friends knew that he was sick and asked him to get medical treatment in hong kong. but he had a strong personality and wanted to go back to beijing. many of my friends died of esophageal cancer, and i advise everyone to seek medical advice from traditional chinese medicine.”
