I recently had the BIG LUCK to get an English subbed version of the ATV series The kung fu master and Revenge of the kung fu master, with Donnie Yen, and I discovered that he plays the role of Hong Xi Kuan.
However, I'm a little bit amazed by something...
In this series, Poon Chi Man (if I'm not mistaken) plays his father, called Hong Man Ting, but in the movie New Legend of Shaolin with Jet Li, Hong Man Ting is Hong Xi Kuan's son !!
So, who was who in reality ?

The Chinese characters are written differently. Hung's father is 洪亭南, while his son is 洪文定.
The whole story of this very well done ATV series about Hung's father is probably their own creation. From my limited understanding, there isn't much folklore in regards of Hung's father, the usual story is that Hung Hei-gun was originally a tea merchant who, after a dispute with Manchurians, fled to Southern Shaolin.

Thank you very much for this clarification, yenchin.
And thanks for the chinese names ; of course, I should have remembered that any pinyin word has at least 4 different meanings and pronunciation, so, it wasn't so disturbing to have Hung Xi Kuan's father and son bearing the same romanised name. If there had been the pinyin accents in the subtitles, I would have understood at once...
