A kung fu master in China narrowly avoided a mishap during a car stunt.

Video filmed in Liupanshui City in Guizhou Province on August 10, shows a 75-year-old man lying on the ground with three wooden boards placed on top of him. As a medium-sized truck began to slowly roll over the boards, one of them suddenly flipped, causing the vehicle to come to an abrupt stop. Within moments, over ten bystanders rushed to the scene, pulling the man out from beneath the truck.

The daredevil, identified as Qigong master Gao Rongxiang, started his training in martial arts and qigong at the tender age of 9, apprenticing under various folk masters. By the 1960s, he was touring and performing across the nation.

Speaking about the incident on August 15, Gao mentioned that he's been performing less frequently in recent years. "The vehicle moved a bit too quickly on that day, causing the board to flip. Thankfully, I wasn't injured," he remarked. When quizzed about whether he sought medical attention, Gao confidently stated, "I always keep some reserve during my performances. There was no need for a hospital visit or medication. I feel fit as a fiddle, ready to perform again right away."

Gao has practised qigong for several decades and has toured both domestically and internationally. His jaw-dropping acts, which include swallowing live snakes, being "torn apart by five horses", and the car-over-body stunt, have astounded audiences worldwide. Despite the risk associated with such acts, Gao insists he has never been seriously injured, only facing minor mishaps occasionally.

In addition to touring, Gao also revealed he runs a martial arts school. "The students are all children, and the tuition for a term is several thousand yuan. We mainly focus on martial arts and wrestling, aiming to bolster the health and fitness of the younger generation. We do not involve them in touring performances," he shared.

近日，贵州六盘水，一名七旬男子在进行“汽车过身”表演时突发意外，现场 视频显示，一名男子躺在地上，身上放有3块木板。一辆中型货车缓慢行驶，轮胎隔着木板从男子身上碾压过去，突然木板从一侧翘起，货车立刻停止前进，随后，十余人匆忙跑来，围住该男子，将其从车底拖出。
据了解，该男子为气功大师高荣祥，今年75岁。9岁起，他便开始到民间拜师练功习武。20世纪60年代起，便在国内各地巡回演出献艺。
8月15日，高荣祥回应称，他这些年表演比较少，当天汽车车速有些快，导致木板翘起，好在身体无碍。
问及其是否就医时，他说：“我表演时会留一半的余地，没必要去医院，也没吃药，身体好得很呢，现在还可以再立即进行一场表演。”
他介绍，他练习气功已有几十年，常常在国内外各地巡演，生吞活蛇、五马分尸、汽车过身等都是他擅长的表演。这几十年来，他没有因高难度的表演受过伤，只是偶尔会有些小磕碰。
除了在各地巡演外，他还介绍自己开办了一所武术学校。“学校都是小孩，一学期学费几千元钱，主要是练习武术和摔跤，让年轻人强身健体，不涉及外出巡演。”
