Fernando Blanco's article

An interesting article is found at <http://cclib.nsu.ru/projects/satbi/satbi-e/martart/wushu/sm.html>

This is Fernando Blanco's article and is been referenced within the text but this information should be used with caution. The one accessible in SATBI is an unauthorized version that contains incorrect information. For a comment on this article from Fernando, please see his discussion on the Mantis Quaterly (<http://www.mantisquarterly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=251>) ottawakungfu (talk) 17:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I put this stuff in and then took it back out again because it seemed too much

When the Cheong Lai Woo shipping company brought Chung to Hong Kong to teach martial arts to its employees, he opened another branch of Kwong Sai Jook Lum Gee Tong Long Pai there, leaving the original Píngshān branch in the care of senior student Wong Yook-Gong. C. 1920, Lee Siem returned to Guangdong to assist with the construction of Chuk Lam Sim Yuen (竹林禪院; pinyin: zhú lín chán yuàn; Yale Cantonese: juk1 lam4 sim3 yun2; Hakka: zuk7 lim2 sam2 jen5), a Bamboo Forest Monastery in Tsuen Wan in the New Territories. On his way there he took a small detour to pay a visit to his student Chung. When Lee left for Tsuen Wan, he took Lum Wing-Fay with him to train, much as he had done with Chung himself. After Chuk Lam Sim Yuen was completed in 1927, the third branch of Kwong Sai Jook Lum Gee Tong Long Pai was opened in Kowloon by Lum Wing-Fay. After the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, Lee Siem, Chung Yu-Chang, Wong Kook-Gong, and Lum Wing-Fay all provided active support to the Chinese side, which made Hong Kong a particularly dangerous place for them once the Japanese occupation began at the end of 1941. A very old man by then, Lee Siem hid in Macao. Chung Yu-Chang and Wong Yook-Kong left Hong Kong and did what they could to continue the fight in Huìyáng. Lum Wing-Fay, the most junior of the men as well as the slightest (5'2", 120 lbs), was instructed by his elders to flee overseas so that Kwong Sai Jook Lum Gee Tong Long Pai would not die with their generation. By the end of 1942, Lum had made his way to New York City's Chinatown, where he began teaching.

This information probably belongs to an article on Lum Sum or an article on Jook Lam rather then in this article. This article should provide a overview of the four main style. ottawakungfu (talk) 17:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
