Master Lam Sai Wing Becomes a Disciple of Wong Fei Hung

At that time there were strong anti-Japanese feelings among the people. The Japanese in Canton did injustice and unlawful actions, beat and humiliated the people and the people had to be on the run. The Japanese treated the Chinese with arrogance. One Japanese searched for Master Lam Sai Wing and tried to enter his school. He was not fastidious in his choice of words and sharply said that Master Lam Sai Wing was a cissy and had no any right to train other people and to have his own school. If he saw the fine Shaolin technique of esteemed Lam Sai Wing, he would not be so thoughtless!

Su Wenzu, a well-known classically educated master who got perfection in the pair sword technique and lived in Canton, highly appraised Lam Sai Wing's mastership. He said that he was ready to serve Master Lam. 

Master Lam Sai Wing did not fear anybody; he taught at his school and showed benevolence to everybody. His disciples tried not to participate in shuffles or combat actions and kept aloof. However, worried about what happened around and realized that their country was on the verge of downfall, they agreed to participate in public show fight. A lot of important persons came to see the fight. Master Lam's enemy challenged him with a stick in his hand, and his voice was like a tiger's roar. It was a furious fight, the fighters' bodies were covered with wounds, they bled profusely. Suddenly Master Lam's enemy threw away his stick and ran away. 

Although Master Lam won the victory, his body was covered with bloody wounds. Lam Sai Wing went to bow Wong Fei Hung who was not only an excellent Kung Fu master, but a doctor of the Chinese traditional medicine. Master Wong Fei Hung was very glad to meet Lam. He told him that he would be a worthy disciple at his school. He cured wounds and gave him a great support. Master Lam Sai Wing accumulated knowledge with veneration to his teacher.
