In the following years, Yan Zijie, Lu Yao and Meiquan disciples of Shandong University visited and exchanged martial arts in the village where Meihuazhuang lived, and supported farmers to set up Meiquan Association or hold large-scale performance parties. Strengthened the connection with rural plum blossom boxing and expanded our influence.
After the 1990s, there were many international students in Shandong University, including those from Europe, America, Japan and other countries. Many of them took part in the plum blossom pile martial arts training in the university. Some outstanding examples are as follows:
The first one is Nikolaj Stage Jensen, a Danish. He was originally an international student studying Chinese at Shandong University. Besides fluent Chinese, he is also proficient in French and English. After learning the martial arts of Plum Blossom Pile in Shanda University, Nicholas borrowed the opportunity from Europe and France to introduce the martial arts and art of Plum Blossom Pile to Lei Ruisong, director of the Oriental Medical Technology Research Center in France at that time. Later, Nicholas and Lei Ruisong came to Jinan to see me. At that time, Yan Zijie also took them to visit Meihua Boxing in Guangzong countryside.
After that, Nicholas and Lei Ruisong took their Israeli friend, Yossi Morgenstern, chairman of the Israel Holism Research Center, to visit China many times. 1994 Yan Zijie and her daughter Yan Yan were invited by Lei Ruisong, Morgenstern and Nikolai, and visited Denmark, Belgium, Germany, France and Israel for the first time. After that, after many exchanges between us, we decided to let Yan Yan and Ren Junmin go to France to teach the spread of Meihuazhuang culture and martial arts. From 1988, Yan Yan and Ren Junmin went to France to teach plum blossom boxing. They went through a lot of hardships, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten years passed. The organization of plum blossom boxing in France has also changed. Today, with the long-term efforts of Yan Yan, Ren Junmin and French plum blossom boxing friends, they have done a lot for the cultural exchange between China and Europe and the spread of plum blossom pile culture. Today, the spread of Meihuazhou Wushu in Europe has laid a foundation and achieved remarkable results. Looking back on the development and roots of plum blossom boxing in Europe, the old friends such as Nicholas, Lei Ruisong and Morgenstein who were first introduced still contributed a lot.
The second is Canadian Raymond Ambrosi, who is also an international student studying Chinese in Shandong University. Besides fluent Chinese, he is also familiar with Japanese. He has a strong interest in the plum blossom pile culture in China, and has traveled back and forth between China and Canada many times, often visiting the countryside. He has a deep understanding of China's rural customs, plum blossom boxing organization and activities, and Anruide is still studying for a doctorate in folklore in Peking University. Since the early 1990s, he has translated many articles about plum blossom piles and martial arts. 1995, Anruide and his friend Alice Lee founded the Canada Plum Blossom Pile Association. Since then, Yan Zijie has been invited to teach boxing in Canada Lee and Vancouver twice.
In addition, foreign friends who have been in frequent contact with us over the years and helped us spread the plum blossom pile culture include: Oded Ben-Dov); In Israel; Xavier); French; Carmen Fallujah and his wife are in the United States; Katrina (Switzerland) and Katarina Schneider and Olivier (Austria); (Germany) Deco and (America) Zhenzhi (Dirk Warmfield &; Virginia Robson); Japanese Hitomi Ishikawa; New Sajt); Canadian; ..... and so on. Since 2004, I have been in frequent contact with Taiwan Province Meihua Boxing disciples Weng Zhengmao, Zhang Qingfeng and Wei Zhipu, and maintained friendly exchanges.
With the help of friends from all over the world, the martial arts of Meihuazhuang have spread all over the world over the years. More and more disciples emigrate, study abroad or live abroad, and it is more convenient for domestic disciples to travel and visit abroad. Therefore, the prospect of plum blossom pile culture spreading all over the world is very bright.
The extensive and profound plum blossom pile culture is the crystallization of the wisdom of Han ancestors and the great contribution of our ancestors to the world cultural treasure house. The magnificent plum blossom pile cause is like the rising sun with a bright future. Being able to hold a seminar on plum blossom pile culture in France also marks the beginning of the plum blossom pile cause going global.
