[Commentary] Mo Shulin, known as Chongqing's "iron shoe king", walks in the park wearing a pair of iron shoes weighing up to 280 kg every day. After long-term exercise and taking off his iron shoes, he can easily challenge the 100 km cross-country race. Usually at home, he needs to buy a dish or something. He even comes and goes, so he can easily get it done. On April 3, Mo Shulin wore iron shoes weighing 280 pounds for a walk in Shizishan Sports Park in Jiangbei District, Chongqing City, which attracted many people to stop and watch.
Mo Shulin, 56, suffered from thromboembolic vasculitis in his early years, and the death of his two older brothers made him notice the importance of exercising. He accidentally saw someone walking in iron shoes on TV. He also wanted to try it, so he found iron pieces by himself, and then welded to create the first double 5 pound iron shoes.
The weight of Mo Shulin's iron shoes is constantly increasing, and every few months he will buy new iron block plus welding shoes. In 15 years, iron shoes have become 280 kg today, and the thickness of each shoe has increased from the original 2 cm to more than 20 cm.

I saw a person wearing iron shoes on TV. With a try attitude, he made a pair of his own. It was not heavy at the time, only 5 pounds. After wearing it on the first day, my feet seemed to make a bubble. After 2 days of rest, I wore it again. After wearing it for 1 month, I felt very relaxed. After relaxing, I added another 5 kg. After 15 years of exercise, I started from 5 kg and added 5 kg every two or three months. Now I have added a pair of 280 kg.

Especially after wearing iron shoes for exercise, the day after taking off, I feel that people are very fluttering and relaxed. Of course, these are usually very small things to walk and buy food, not tired.

In fact, in my mind, I didn't think I was too old. When I held a class meeting, I was very impressed. At that time, my classmates were all in their 50s. You see that they are much older than me. It seems that I am the youngest. They all looked at me with envious eyes and felt very fulfilled.
