The lion dance looks good. I'm sure with a good kungfu based, they perfomed really good. I liked their performance. It was vibrant and lively. When they came around for a collection, I rewarded them with a RMB100 note.

This about brings an end to my posts on the Huang Fei Hong Memorial Hall in Foshan. Back to the topic of books (not exactly) written by Lin ShiRong, fellow forum member yenchin (he has a wealth of information on the martial world) has this to add: "Zhu Yu Zhai was Lin Shi Rong's disciple. He was responsible for compiling the teachings of Lin. Also he published the heroic stories of the masters of his lineage, especially Wong Fei Hong, as well as Wong Kuei Ying, Liang Kuan, Lin Shi Rong...etc This in turn inspired a lot of authors to write stories about these masters, and resulting in the initial fame of Wong Fei Hong in HK. Wong Kei Ying 黄麒英 - Huang QiYing was Huang FeiHong's father. According to the "Annals of Southern China Martial World" (see previous post), together with Begger Su 苏丐儿 and Iron Bridge Three 铁乔三, Huang QiYing was one of the Ten Tigers of Guangdong.

I found some more photos on Huang FeiHong - well, of his wife after the death of Huang FeiHong, actually. After Huang FeiHong's death, his wife continued to sell medicines etc. I would presume she knew some of his formulae.

Besides being famous for his Bao Zhi Lin medical hall, Huang Fei Hong was also known for his martial arts prowess. I presume his famous "Invisible Kicks" has now been lost, but his disciple, Lin Shi Rong, 林世荣, had a disciple Zhu Yu Zhai 朱愚斋 who published three books - I believe in Hong Kong, not Guangzhou Very sorry I'm six years late to answer this.The No Shadow kick is nothing like what you see in the movies. I have learnt Hong style before. The No Shadow kick is just a very fast kick that will knock the enemy out. But it can be done in many variations. From using hands to umbrellas to cloth or just any other object or limb to block out the enemy's vision the variations are limitless.The experts rely on just one very fast kick while the "juniors" can use something as a distraction before executing the kick.
