12. Eternal Spring 永春 planting its roots in Hong Kong

Apart from teaching in Lam's home, Tang Yik also started to teach other students privately as well as in some of his student's home. One of the key location was with his student Yung Tai Lun 容泰倫. Yung had a reasonable unit on north-east of Kowloon Peninsula and has a good size roof, which was perfect for Kung Fu training. Yung was amongst the most senior and faithful students of Tang Yik. His roof also housed a wooden dummy and the Pole Dummy, which possibly the first and only one Weng Chun Pole Dummy in Hong Kong. The two dummies actually formed part of the historical parts in the history as well as carrier of the Weng Chun Kuen. They were the units which Tang Yik showed the Tang family dummy form from Fei Loi Temple as well as the Pole Dummy form (六點半棍椿) as shown in the video by Kwong Chak Cheung, which gives the one and only one reference on how the Pole Dummy looks like, with the complete sequences. Without such, the Pole Dummy techniques from the Tang Family would be lost for ever!!

Some of the early students, whom I have opportunity to meet up with when I started to learn in the end of 1968 were:

謝金 - Tse Kam, who was a guerrilla at the age of 15 fighting against Japanese at North-eastern China, he came to Hong Kong as a manual worker at Sheung Wan Pier and later became a taxi driver
方𠎀 - Fong Kit, who was intended to be trained up together with Tse Kam, but passed away early with cancer.
唐志 - Tong Chi, second generation from a machine shop family. Also good at TaiChi and Xing Yi
容泰倫 - Yung Tai Lun, a well off business man.
鄭榮彬 - Cheng Wing Bun, who worked as an officer in air-craft catering services.
張偉明 - Cheung Wai Ming, a police officer.
陳凱旋 - Chan Hoi Suen, a technician in Carrier Hong Kong. He possibly is the only surviving senior students. He helped Tang Yik to teach at later years at 1, Playing Field Road, place where I lived since I was born.
白鉅成 - Pak Kui Shing, a law clerk. He was the nephew of Pak Cheung, not directly though, like Tang Yik and my father.
鄺澤昌 - Kwong Chak Cheung, a graduate from Hong Kong University in late 1960's and an engineer in Hong Kong Telecom. He was also a senior student of Lau Fa Meng - the Eagle Claw Grand Master, as well as Mongolian Wrestling. fu style TaiChi and other martial arts. He was one of the most dedicated student of Tang Yik and hoping to introduce standards to Weng Chun and helped Tang Yik teaching together with Chan Hoi Suen. He migrated to Canada and sadly passes away during a car accident when he was driving from America back to Toronto on a icy road, possibly fallen asleep!!

Those were the SiHing's I used to knowWhen I started to learn in December 1968, when Tang Yik came to my home every Saturday evening, starting with dinner and then training. That might form a turning point in Tang Yik's later years, as he found a sense of "home" there. My father was his nephew, although not directly, but pretty close. My father was actually older, and they were like brothers. I do not know when they met each other again in Hong Kong, but the regular teaching of someone from the Tang village (me and my brother), dinner, brandy and cigarette with my father, apparently helped him to open up and lit up his "fire". It also became a small centre for him to teach and the senior students came regularly, with some new students, including my elder brother, younger sister of Cheng Wing Bun, Vincent Tso and Wilson Yung.
