Introduction
Master Lam Sai Wing (1860-1943) was born in Pingzhou district of the southern
Guangdong province. He was a generous, bright and witty boy who from his childhood strove for knowledge and did well in traditional classic sciences. His esteemed ancestor
Lam repeatedly told him that talent and persistence are a good base to form one's character.
Besides, as far as Chinese pugilistic arts and sword fencing are concerned, the past period, when fighting techniques were secretly trained, should serve as an example. So, the second factor of success is to follow the ancient methods.
Master Lam Sai Wing learned Kung Fu for many years and had long experience, yet he could not be self-confident and humbly gained knowledge of ancient times in his desire to comprehend the innermost essence of the art. His disciples
Hu Jinxin and Shao Zhangbo helped him in that. Later, they could not go on with their training and set up butcheries to earn their living. Only
Master Lam, full of high aspirations, did not forget the ancient directions and diligently and indefatigably reared the art in his soul. It cannot but give rise to our admiration, indeed!
