We know that no one can accompany the company for a hundred years, the company's sustainable development depends on a steady stream of talents, and the company cannot rely on only a few founders."
Jack Ma said this in an open letter published to the public.
Jack Ma announced his retirement.
The soldiers of the iron battalion and the flowing waterWith the retirement of Jack Ma, a generation of business tycoons, there have also been huge personnel changes within Alibaba Group, but at this time, there is one person who has become the focus of many people's attention.
He is only 1.7 meters tall, but he once sacrificed himself to block bullets for Ma Yun, and Ma Yun offered an annual salary of one million to make him the "most valuable bodyguard", he is Ma Yun's "man behind him" - Li Tianjin.
Li Tianjin served as Ma Yun's bodyguard for ten years, what happened to make Ma Yun trust him so much?
After Ma Yun stepped down, how is the bodyguard who once earned millions of dollars living now?
01 Fight all over the village invincible.
In 1979, Li Tianjin was born in a small village in Jiaozuo City, Henan ProvinceBecause it is very close to Chenjiagou, the birthplace of Taijiquan, children here will play Taijiquan from an early age.
Li Tianjin, who has a strong nature, is no exceptionHe learned Tai Chi with his father at the age of 8His father tied a sandbag for him in the yard, and it became a "martial arts training ground" for him to practice every day.
Li Tianjin. Li Tianjin is extremely talented, and through his hard work, he soon became one of the best "masters" among the children in the same village.
In order to learn martial arts with others, Li Tianjin, who was only 10 years old, used haystacks to lay a "martial arts arena" at the head of the village, and "competed" here with the children of the same village.
The children in the same village were not Li Tianjin's opponents, and soon Li Tianjin's reputation as "invincible opponents in the whole village" spread.
What kind of skills are you planning with us, if you have the ability, you can go to Chenjiagou to try, they have to beat you all over the ground to find teeth. ”
The child who was defeated by Li Tianjin said unconvinced.
Just go!Li Tianjin, who was unwilling to admit defeat by nature, did not hesitate at all, and came to the nearby Chenjiagou, but he did not expect that he would meet an opponent in Chenjiagou this time.
02 At the age of fourteen, he apprenticed to Taijiquan.
Unexpectedly, Li Tianjin, who always thought that he was "invincible in the world", met a "strong opponent" in Chenjiagou.
The two most famous brothers in Chenjiagou, Wang Zhanhai and Wang Zhanjun, beat Li Tianjin, who was "invincible all over the village", down in just two rounds.
Li Tianjin, who was not convinced, was defeated several times, which also made him believe that "there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people." ”
It turned out to be a sparring with himThe two brothers, Wang Zhanhai and Wang Zhanjun, are actually the sons of Wang Xi'an, the 11th and 19th generations of Chen's Taijiquan.
The 11th and 19th generations of Chen's Taijiquan - Wang Xi'an.
It was also because of this exchange that Li Tianjin and Wang Xi'an got acquainted, although Li Tianjin lost in the contest with the brothers, but Wang Xi'an found that Li Tianjin was talented and was a good material for practicing martial arts.
After Chen Jiagou saw the power of Taijiquan, in order to make his martial arts more sophisticatedLi Tianjin immediately decided to worship Wang Xi'an as his teacher.
Under Wang Xi'an's wholehearted professor,Li Tianjin was only 18 years old and won the 65kg championship of the 5th National Taijiquan Annual Conference.
Although Li Tianjin won numerous awards and became more and more famous, Li Tianjin, who has been running around to participate in competitions, has never had a stable job.
Li Tianjin participated in the Tai Chi competition.
After Li Tianjin got married in 2006, he soon had his own children, and faced with an increasingly embarrassing life, Li Tianjin had to give up the road of martial arts competitions and came to the big city to find a job to support his family.
However, after coming to the big city, Li Tianjin deeply realized that the honors he had won were worthless, and he had no place to display his good skillsThis former Tai Chi champion really has nothing to do and even works as a security guard in the community.
03 became Jack Ma's bodyguard by chance.
As we all know, Jack Ma is a fan of martial arts, and he has repeatedly said in public that he likes tai chi very much.
Ma Yun has visited Wang Xi'an many times to learn Tai Chi from him, and after getting acquainted with Wang Xi'an, Ma Yun hopes that Wang Xi'an can recommend a person who is very good at Tai Chi.
Ma Yun offered an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, hoping that this Tai Chi master could be his bodyguard, not only to protect his own safety, but also to learn in his spare time.
Jack Ma and Li Tianjin.
Wang Xi'an didn't think too much about it, he knew that Li Tianjin was the best candidate, so he introduced this proud ** to Ma Yun, and Li Tianjin naturally became Ma Yun's bodyguard.
Although the annual salary of 500,000 years makes many people envious, becoming the bodyguard of the richest man in the country makes Li Tianjin feel pressure.
Because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has not read many books, and the huge cultural differences have become a barrier that Li Tianjin cannot break through.
When Ma Yun attends important events, Li Tianjin is often at a loss, because of his ignorance and will make jokes, but Ma Yun feels that Li Tianjin is honest and appreciates him very much.
04 sacrificed himself for Ma Yun to block bullets.
It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields, which is true.
In 2012, Li Tianjin accompanied Ma Yun to the United States to discuss business cooperationJust when Ma Yun and several local wealthy businessmen came to a high-end hotel, the group that had just sat downBut he was accidentally attacked by three robbers with guns!
The three outlaws were armed with guns and fired at the ceiling of the hotel restaurant to intimidate everyone.
Seeing that the security personnel at the scene took out their pistols one after another, Li Tianjin immediately realized that the situation was not good.
Li Tianjin sacrificed his life to protect Ma Yun.
In the face of guns that are not long-sighted, even if they have all their strength, they are useless, if there is a shootout, then they are the most at a loss.
In any case, protect the chairman first, leave first!”
Li Tianjin only had this one thought in his mind, so he didn't care about thinking too much, and immediately used his body to cover Ma Yun and quickly move towards the door of the restaurant.
Bang!"It's too late, it's too soonJust as Li Tianjin was covering Ma Yun to move towards the door, the robbers realized that they were about to flee, so they couldn't help but shoot them!
It seemed to be a conditioned reflex, Li Tianjin did not hesitate at all, and immediately flew forward and blocked Ma Yun with his back.
Under the cover of Li Tianjin, he smoothly escorted Ma Yun out of the restaurant where the incident occurred, and after seeing that Ma Yun had left smoothly by car, under the prompting of his companionsLi Tianjin found out that he had been shot in the arm, and the blood had stained his snow-white shirt red.
Li Tianjin competed with others.
Ma Yun learned about Li Tianjin's injury through the staff, and after Li Tianjin recovered from his injuryMa Yun immediately bought a house and a car for him, raised Li Tianjin's annual salary to one million yuan, and gave Li Tianjin some shares to thank Li Tianjin for saving his life.
Therefore, in this life-and-death relationship, Li Tianjin has since become Ma Yun's confidant.
05 The former bodyguard incarnated as the head coach.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, when Ma Yun stepped down, many people were concerned about what would happen to Li Tianjin, who was once inseparable from Ma Yun.
In fact, Ma Yun has long planned for Li Tianjin's future development.
After retiring, Ma Yun no longer had to fly around the world, without one trip after another, he began to devote himself to the study of Taijiquan and established the "Taijizen International Development Company".
Tai Chi Monastery. There are many famous teachers in the Tai Chi Zen Academy, and many coaches are from Wang Xi'an's apprentices, but Ma Yun only values Li Tianjin's personality and morality, and makes Li Tianjin the head coach of the Tai Chi Zen Garden in Xixi Wetland.
Since then,Li Tianjin let go of the identity of "Ma Yun's bodyguard" and officially became a Tai Chi instructor, starting a new journey of preaching and teaching.
Under the active recommendation of Ma Yun, the Tai Chi Monastery attracted many wealthy businessmen and celebrities to come to learn Tai Chi, where Li Tianjin taught Tai Chi while concentrating on research, and now Li Tianjin's apprentices are all over the country and span all walks of life.
Li Tianjin teaches Tai Chi.
From bodyguard to coach, from boxer to national referee, Li Tianjin has used his diligence and hard work to find an unusual path.
In fact, there is no need to be the head coach, relying on Ma Yun's shares and savings over the years, Li Tianjin can still live without worrying about food and clothing.
But having been by Ma Yun's side for many years, Li Tianjin is no longer the hairy boy who "fought all over the village" in the pastMa Yun brought him not only a change in the quality of life, but also an improvement in the pattern and vision.
Therefore, out of the identity of a bodyguard, Li Tianjin decided to use his own advantages to let more people understand Taijiquan and carry forward Taijiquan.

Li Tianjin's life has also attracted the envy of many people, some people say that Wang Xi'an is a noble person in his life, without the master's teaching, there will be no national champion, without the master's recommendation, there will be no Ma Yun's bodyguard.
In fact, all of this is inseparable from Li Tianjin's own conduct and effortsAfter Li Tianjin's life got better and better, he took his wife and two children to live in Hangzhou.
Since the life of the second brother's family has not been very wealthy, Li Tianjin took the initiative to bear the tuition fees and daily expenses of his two nephews.
Perhaps Li Tianjin was lucky, not only met his mentor, but also met his own Bole.
And Li Tianjin is also hardworking, everything he got today is not easy, but the crystallization of tears and sweat.
