Li Shuwen

Li Shuwen (Chinese: 李书文) (1864–1934) was a master practitioner of the Chinese martial art of Bajiquan. He was known as "God Spear Li" (神槍李).[1] His prowess was said to be enough that he boasted that he did not have to strike the same opponent twice.[2] He was a martial arts adviser of Fu Chen Sung, notably once fighting him to a draw.[3] Li's students eventually became personal bodyguards for Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai-shek, and Henry Pu-Yi.[3]

In fiction

Li Shuwen is depicted as the character "Assassin" in the video game Fate/Extra.[4]
