Ng Mui later traveled around the country, but before she left she told Ving Tsun to strictly
honor the Kung Fu traditions, to develop her Kung Fu after her marriage, and to help the people
working to overthrow the Manchu government and restore the Ming Dynasty.
After her marriage Ving Tsun taught Kung Fu to her husband Leung Bok Chau. He in turn
passed these techniques on to Leung Lan Kwai. Leung Lan Kwai then passed them on to
Wong Wah Bo. Wong Wah Bo was a member of an opera troupe on board a junk, known to
Chinese as the Red Junk. Wong worked on the Red Junk with Leung Yee Tei. It so happened
that Abbot Chi Shin, who fled from Siu Lam, had disguised himself as a cook and was then
working on the Red Junk. Chi Shin taught the Six-and-a-half-point Long Pole techniques to
Leung YeeTei. Wong Wah Bo was close to Leung Yee Tei, and they shared what they knew
about Kung Fu. Together they shared and improved their techniques, and thus the
Six-and-a-half-point Long Pole was incorporated into Ving Tsun Kung Fu. Leung Yee Tei
passed his Kung Fu on to Leung Jan, a well-known herbal Doctor in Fat Shan. Leung Jan
grasped the innermost secrets of Ving Tsun, attaining the highest level of proficiency. Many
Kung Fu masters came to challenge him, but all were defeated.
