6. Turning Point - FoShan - Hong Kong - Canton

People's life path sometimes would come to a turning point which totally changes an individual's destiny. Tang Suen was living happily and enjoying martial arts as his "hobby" and sometimes teaching just for "fun". But something happened which had driven him to a more interesting part of his life which eventually brought his family art to a different stage.

In the old days when people relied on farming to make a living, water was a very valuable resources and a lot of times, it was a source of conflict and have to be settled through fighting. The Tang village was no different. Once upon a time, there was a fight between the Tang families and the adjoining village and the neighbours were beaten up. Their Sifu came and challenge for a fight. The Tang seniors suggested a "drew of cuts" and Tang Suen "won". The challenger was stupid enough to suggest a pole fight with Tang Suen and one could expect the result. The challenger actually drop dead on his way back.

Tang Suen left the village and came to Hong Kong where it was a colony under the British rule. He was thinking of going to Nam Yeung (南洋) where he got a Tang village brother there. When he was in Hong Kong waiting for the further trip, one day, when he was lingering around and did ask a guy to borrow a match for his smoking, they chatted and noted that guy was from Dai Lik 大瀝, which was close to Siu Tong 小塘. The guy, named Lee Yat, noted that Tang Suen's dialect and asked him whether he was from 小塘 [ Siu Tong ] and knew of a guy called Tang Suen and asked whether the man infront of him knew martial arts of Tang Suen. Tang Suen did not tell his true identity, but told him that he knew Tang Suen and they have a friend exchange and eventually told Lee Yat that he was Tang Suen and said that he was thinking of going to Nam Yeung to find some living. Eventually, Lee Yat persuaded Tang Suen to stay behind to teach and that started his formal teaching. It was a ground floor shop at No 9, Wo On Lane, at a place which is now a "fun" place - 香港蘭桂坊(Lan Kwai Fong) at Central Hong Kong.

After a relatively short time. The Tang villager told Tang Suen that the Canton Police Chief was looking for a coach and suggested Tang Suen to try, as his families was still in Siu Tong. The police chief was Chan King Wah (廣州警察廰長陳景華). After some serious thoughts, he did apply, using a different name.

The historical place of Weng Chun has now changed totally - 香港中環和安里九號
