Hi guys thankyou for your helpful replies... Having posted the question the other day I then had abusive private messages by Four Pillars thinking that I was someone else, that obviously he has had some past problems with... As I told him I am not the person by the name of Chris Mercer that he thinks I am, I am not here to cause problems just to have a nice discussion to try and clarify things a little better.
Wong Fei Hung was around at the time of the NEW Hung, as you quite rightly stated, but, Wong Kei Ying his father would not teach him because he was a bit of a lad getting into trouble and fighting a bit. His father was from the old school (morality) and therefore would not pass things on to him and that is why the WFH line then had to say that he learned Tit Sin Kuen from Lam Fook Shing and a nice story has been spread about how they met etc. Interestingly Wong Fei Hung never left a student behind to run his school when he died, he never told a student that he was next in line and so Lam Sai Wing then took this title on and there was a lot of conjecture as to who should be passing on the lineage as taught by WFH...
Plus there are no pictures of WFH and actually it was 60 years or so after his death that the cult magazines latched on to his story, through the popularity of Lam Sai Wing and his thousands of students and started to make 100's of movies and magazines about this guy'
If you look at the 3 books that LSW got his student to publish, it mentions the forms that WFH supposedly passed down to LSW and it is not the modern curriculum as so say devised by WFH himself ?????
Thoughts ??
