A man was planning to find a pushover to steal his or her wallet on a
bus in Chongqing last Saturday, but met a Qigong master instead and was
beaten down in the process. Tang Xianli, 95, who has been practicing
Qigong, a Chinese deep breathing exercise, since 71 years old. Tang told
Chongqing Morning News that he was worried that he might have severely
wounded the thief after hitting him.
Tang said that he hit the thief on the scapula after he found a man was trying to take his wallet. People on the bus clapped and shouted “Bravo” and some passengers even suggested that Tang send the man to police. However, seeing how badly the thief was hurt, Tang finally decided to let him go free.
