Our senior brother and honorary president, Mr. Leung Wai, has been practicing martial arts under Grandmaster Wong Cheung since the 1940s, when Grandmaster returned to Hong Kong after World War II to teach. Time flies, and over sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Senior brother Leung now resides in a village house in Sheung Shui. Despite being in his nineties, he remains in robust health and has a sharp, spirited gaze. Humble and kind-hearted, Senior Leung cares deeply for his fellow disciples and has consistently shown concern for their well-being. He attends the "Master's Birthday Celebration" every year, where he listens to updates on the association's affairs and offers valuable advice.

Every year, during the ripening seasons of fruits like lychee, wampee, and longan, Senior Leung invites his fellow disciples to his home for barbecues and fruit picking. This has become an essential summer social event for us. Senior Leung's residence is a three-story standalone village house in Sheung Shui, accessible by car. The house is surrounded by fruit trees, including lychee, longan, and wampee, which grow several stories high and bear abundant fruit during the harvest season. Stepping inside the house is like traveling back in time to a cultural museum. Most of the furniture is made of rosewood, mahogany, or padauk, crafted with exquisite detail, giving the entire house an elegant, classical style. The walls are adorned with famous paintings, creating a feast for the eyes. In addition to the furniture, Senior Leung also collects high-end audio equipment and records, all of which are four to five decades old. The radios and telephones date back to the 1930s, yet they still function perfectly, producing clear and pleasant sounds. Heading up to the rooftop, the view opens up to a serene landscape surrounded by grassy fields and distant mountain ranges, including Tai Mo Shan, the Twins (Tai To Yan and Siu To Yan), and Kai Kung Shan, offering a truly picturesque scene.

When it comes to martial arts, Senior Leung becomes very enthusiastic and is always ready to demonstrate techniques such as "zheng" (掙), "da" (打), "gua" (掛), "zhuang" (撞), "pao" (拋), "chap" (扱), and "ham" (冚), and how they are applied. His most outstanding routines include Dragon Form Tiger Claw, Umbrella, Paper Fan, and more. Senior Leung emphasizes that the most important principle in combat is "evasion and retreat" (閃縮), meaning that one should not rely on brute force to confront an opponent. When an opponent throws a powerful punch at you, you should sidestep or pivot, retreat to intercept and avoid the initial force, then quickly counterattack the opponent's weak points, such as the eyes, throat, or groin. The subtlety of martial arts techniques lies in using the opponent's force against them, employing "intelligent" tactics rather than relying on sheer strength.

When recalling the past with Grandmaster Wong Cheung, Senior Leung remembers that Grandmaster initially taught martial arts on the balcony of a tenement building near the Mong Kok Market. In the beginning, there were only a few students, including Leung Wai, Chu Kwong, "Buy Cloth Boy," Kung Fai, and others. The space was lent by "Beef Su," who ran a beef stall at the Mong Kok Market at the time. Later, Grandmaster Wong Cheung expanded to multiple locations to teach martial arts, including the morning sessions (next to Mong Kok Railway Station) and the rooftop of Lung Chu Restaurant, among others.

At that time, Grandmaster Wong Cheung not only taught "Ming Gong" (明功) but also "Shen Gong" (神功). When reminiscing about amusing moments during his martial arts training, Senior Leung vividly recalls an experience of sparring with his fellow disciple, Kung Fai. Back then, Grandmaster Wong Cheung assigned Senior Leung to guide other disciples in their techniques. However, Kung Fai (also known as "Yam Kung Fai") believed his skills were superior and felt discontented. As a result, he switched to study under the "Hero's Fist" (俠家拳) master, "Big Log Sam," in Shau Kei Wan, vowing to return and challenge Senior Leung to a duel. Concerned about the reputation of their school, Grandmaster Wong Cheung personally conducted intensive training for Senior Leung to prepare him. Every night, Grandmaster would travel to Senior Leung's workplace, "Golden City Restaurant" in Tsuen Wan, to train him. After a month of rigorous practice, Grandmaster believed Senior Leung was ready to face Kung Fai. Senior Leung then went alone to challenge Kung Fai. On the day of the challenge, Kung Fai was playing mahjong. It turned out that Kung Fai had already learned about Grandmaster Wong Cheung's secret training sessions with Senior Leung. Not wanting to face a disadvantage, Kung Fai immediately greeted Senior Leung with respect and apologized for the earlier challenge. Touched by Kung Fai's broad-mindedness, Senior Leung let bygones be bygones, and they became good fellow disciples and friends from then on.

At that time, Brother Kung Fai often sought opportunities to test his martial arts skills against others. The most common method was to draw a circle on the ground, and whoever remained inside the circle the longest would be the winner. Back then, the "Hung Sing Restaurant" frequently gathered martial arts practitioners, including those from the Hak Fu Mun and Choy Lee Fat, among others. The senior brother and Kung Fai, both young and spirited, would often encounter people with arrogant attitudes. They once planned to go bare-handed to the "Leung Ngau Martial Arts School" in Shau Kei Wan to challenge them. When Grandmaster Wong Cheung learned of this, he immediately stopped and forbade them. However, the two still repeatedly brought up the idea of "challenging the school." Eventually, Grandmaster Wong Cheung came up with a clever solution. He told them that if they went to the martial arts school, they should first observe the placement of the pair of "golden flowers" on the altar. If the flowers were facing inward, it indicated that the school's members were humble and generous. On the other hand, if the flowers were facing outward, it signified that they were arrogant and reckless, and could be taught a lesson. When the two arrived at the school and saw that the flowers were arranged in an inward-facing manner, they abandoned their plan to challenge the school. Grandmaster Wong Cheung used a clever method to resolve the potential conflict between the two schools. It turns out that martial arts schools at the time generally respected one another, so they would never arrange the "golden flowers" in an outward-facing, "snaggled-tooth" manner. This incident highlights the wisdom of Grandmaster Wong Cheung.

The senior brother still remembers that among the group of fellow disciples back then, there was one nicknamed "Buy Cloth Boy" who had an exceptional memory. Once, someone demonstrated the "Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist" below the martial arts school, and all the disciples watched together. When they returned, he was able to perform the entire set of the routine, leaving everyone amazed!

When it comes to the "morning sessions" at the Mong Kok Railway Station, the older generation of senior brothers have deep memories. The senior brother mentioned that in the early days when they trained under Grandmaster Wong Cheung, there were no morning sessions. Later, a senior brother who worked for the Kowloon-Canton Railway Company arranged for Grandmaster Wong Cheung to teach at a location next to what is now Mong Kok Railway Station. The area was very spacious, with a small wooden hut for resting and sheltering from the rain. The training sessions continued there until the 1980s when the Mong Kok Railway Station was rebuilt, bringing an end to the practice.
