As the saying goes, "As long as you have perseverance, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle." The same goes for the position of bodyguard. Although he looks handsome and even a little mysterious on the surface, this profession is not something that just anyone can do well.
Hard work always pays off. With his own efforts, Li Xu has achieved the ultimate in this profession. Known as "China's No. 1 Male Bodyguard", his hourly salary can reach 280,000. . This 280,000 hourly salary is not in vain. Through high-intensity training day after day, his body is so strong that he can even use chopsticks as weapons to penetrate steel plates.
Born from a martial arts family
As the saying goes, "A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can dig holes." The influence of family genes on children is undoubtedly deep-rooted. Coming from a "martial arts family", Li Xu grew up under the influence of various martial arts and swords, guns and weapons since childhood. Perhaps because he has the blood of martial arts practitioners in his body, Li Xu's interest in martial arts seems to be innate.
His father is a well-known martial arts master. Because he wanted to pass on his kung fu, he set up a martial arts gym in his home and often taught some martial arts to his students in person, hoping to pass on his martial arts skills. This traditional Chinese quintessence was promoted. Since Li Xu's father had suffered a lot in order to practice martial arts since he was a child, he also demanded the same from his son.
So, while other people’s childhood was filled with happiness such as toys and candies, when it came to Li Xu, there were only endless steps and endless training left. Although running dozens of kilometers can be exhausting and the daily training is extremely cruel, the young Li Xu never complains of pain or tiredness. On the contrary, he enjoys it and is both painful and happy.
Because he knows his father’s good intentions and understands that this intense training is for his own good. Facts also proved that Li Xu's father was right. All-day training made Li Xu physically stronger than the average person, which also laid a solid foundation for him to become "China's No. 1 Male Bodyguard."
Joining the army to hone his perseverance
Li Xu’s obsession with martial arts since childhood made Li Xu keen on studying various martial arts moves. Under his father’s guidance, he also developed good skills. , but he is not only satisfied with this, he wants to become stronger and learn more knowledge. So, at the age of eighteen, he responded to the country's call and volunteered to join the army.
In the army, he was exposed to the grappling fighting skills he dreamed of, and saw his favorite guns and cannons with his own eyes. His always eager to learn nature drove him to memorize all the knowledge taught in the army, and his outstanding performance won the praise of the instructors.

Long-term high-intensity training has made his body stronger, and strict military management has tempered his mind. Gold always shines. Li Xu's outstanding performance made the army leaders treat him differently, and even came forward to express their hope that Li Xu would continue to stay in the army. However, being a soldier was not Li Xu's lifelong pursuit, and he wanted to go deeper. Learning, he declined.
After retiring from the army, Li Xu, who has always been in awe of the profession of "bodyguard", signed up for the American Political dignitaries Protection Academy, a recognized professional bodyguard training organization. In 1972, the U.S. Academy for the Protection of Politicians welcomed its first Chinese student in history. As the first Chinese in the history of the school, Li Xu clearly knows that he is not just an individual, he also shoulders the honor of the country.
Because he had just arrived, the language barrier and the difference in living habits made him feel the desolation and loneliness of wandering alone. In addition, coupled with everyone's contempt and disdain because he was Chinese, his situation was very difficult. But he didn't flinch at all, instead he used his strength to prove to them. During a competition, Li Xu knocked down a burly American with just three moves. This display of strength made other students dare not look down on Li Xu any more.
The experience of studying at the American Politician Protection Institute gave Li Xu a great improvement. The specific, professional, comprehensive and difficult career blueprint formulated for him by the Political Protection Academy allowed him to successfully transform.
Start a bodyguard career and gradually become famous
"Young people have their own youthful madness. They despise Kunlun and laugh at Luliang. They have sharpened their swords for several years, and today they show their sharpness." From "Jiang Chengzi" These lines of poems are even suitable for Li Xu, who has just learned. After graduating from the American Academy of Politician Protection, Li Xu wanted to show off his skills. However, he was not well-known at the beginning. Those who came to him were all small people and they would not encounter any big dangers in life. This made Li Xu very worried. It's rare to encounter a scene that requires real action.
So this young man who wanted to "test the sword" came to the war-torn Middle East, where he wanted to find an employer who could truly "show off his talents."

During his days as a bodyguard in the Middle East, he had to be on tenterhooks almost every day, but this was the only way to satisfy Li Xu's excitement-seeking heart. After resisting more than 30 assassinations for the head of the United Arab Emirates, Li Xu became famous in one fell swoop and became a legend in the bodyguard world. However, these honors were accumulated little by little with blood and sweat.
Despite his growing fame, Li Xu has never slacked off at all. He still holds himself to the strictest standards and conducts high-intensity training every day. His persistence has made his physical fitness even better, and he can even use "chopsticks" as weapons to penetrate solid steel plates, which is enough to show his ability.
Li Xu’s excellence is recognized by the bodyguard industry. Even the world-famous “Stock God” Warren Buffett paid a lot of money to hire Li Xu as his bodyguard. Due to the high-risk nature of the profession, his salary is naturally very high. Sometimes it can be as high as 280,000 yuan per hour! This shows that Li Xu's ability is beyond doubt.
Although his fame is growing and more and more halo is being exerted on him, Li Xu always maintains his original intention towards his employer and insists that "the safety of his employer's life is above all else." The principles of "loyalty", "responsibility", "honor" and "bravery" have always been firmly engraved in our hearts.
Li Xu used his professionalism and noble professional ethics to make all employers trust him with their lives, and he was known as "China's No. 1 Male Bodyguard". This tough man, who can use "chopsticks" to penetrate steel plates, is using his success to explain to people what it means to truly "pay your due diligence". It also makes people understand that as long as they work hard enough, everything is possible.
