As Chan Heung taught his daily gung fu classes Jeong Yim couldn’t resist watching them practice in secret. He possessed a strong desire to learn gung fu and eventually began to memorize the techniques so he may practice them in privacy. One night he was out practicing his stolen gung fu until he was caught in the act by Chan Heung who was quite amazed at how masterfully this outsider was performing their villages marital art.

* (It is very possible when considering the political climate of that time that chan Heung changed Jeong Yims name to Loong Gee Choy in order to hide his true identity fromChing Soldiers. It was commonplace during that era for criminals to have many alias).

Jeong Yim was clueless to Chan Heung spying on him. Suddenly Chan Heung appeared from out of the shadows. This was grounds for immediate expulsion. But Jeong Yim confessed to stealing the moves, and his honesty impressed Chan Heung, who couldn’t deny his great potential. It would be a shame to let go of such a talented student who showed more dedication than his own. Therefore he agreed to teach Jeong Yim in private during the midnight hours.

In about 5 years Jeong Yim was able to master Chan Heungs techniques. He was no doubt becoming one of Chan Heungs most accomplished and strongest students, until a few of the senior students began to pick on him. He tried so hard not to fight back but eventually they pushed the right buttons and he fought back ferociously and injured some of Chan Heungs students.

The parents of the defeated students complained to the village elders about the incident. They scolded Chan Heung for allowing an outsider into their village much less teach him gung fu. Their secret had been revealed and now chan Heung was faced with having to kick out his top disciple.

At their next private meeting Chan Heung reluctantly told jeong yim that their secret arrangement was discovered and the he must leave the Chan Village. He told Jeong Yim to travel to Kwangxi and locate an old Famous Shaolin Monk, give him this letter of recommendation and ask him to complete your training.

Jeong Yim set out for the Pak Pai Mountain to search for this Shaolin master called the Ching Cho Woe Serng (Green Grass Monk) a.k.a. *Cai DeZhong as well as Monk Um Ging of the Julianshan Southern Shaolin Temple which was located in the Fukien province of Putian County in Guangzhou. This monk was a feared agitator of the government, and heavliy involved with the Hung Society revolutionary movement. 

Provided by the Fut San Hung Sing Kwoon, this is a depiction of the legendary Green Grass Monk

of 108 fighting monks. Out of that 108 only 5 survived the destruction of the temple. They were Lei Sik Hoi a.k.a. Qingsheng Hu Dedi or even Qing Fu, Wu Dak Dai, Fong Dai Hong a.k.a. Ching Fong, Ma Chow Sing a.k.a. Ching Tse, and Cai DeZhong. Later these 5 would become known as the "5  Ancestors of the Hung Mun Secret Society."

     According to legend it was the Green Grass Monk that killed the shaolin common disciple turned traitor known as Ma Ninger a.k.a. Ma Chut for assisting the Ching Military in the destruction of the temples and the for lives of the countless dead monks.  In the rituals of the Hung Mun the number 7 is taboo because of Ma Chut being 7th in the Shaolin temples order.  Also, they make reference to Ma Chut while killing a chicken as the new member repeats "I will die like Ma Chut if I ever betray my brothers."

     Meanwhile, as Jeong Yim arrived at Mt. Pak Pai he came across the Shajian Temple. He began to inquire about the whereabouts of the Green Grass Monk. No one seemed to have any answers, but he kept ups his serach for this elusive old monk.

     Finally, he crossed paths with an old man and asked if he knew anything about the monk. The old man pretended not to know whom this person was but asked a question in return. "Why are you looking for him, are you the police?" But Jeong Yim explained that he was sent by someone to complete his gung fu training.

This is a symbol used by the Hung Society (Hung Mun)

It only took Jeong Yim about 8 years to master the Fut Gar Style. One of the most important hand forms that the Green Grass Monk passed on to him was called "In and Out Ba Gua Kuen, which contained a total of 1080 moves in it (which later was broken up into Ping Kuen, Kau Da Kuen and Cheung Kuen), as well as the Eight Trigram Fist, and Chinese medicine. 

Prior to Jeong Yim returning to Ging Mui the Green Grass Monk solidified his students beliefs in supporting the revolution and changed his first name from Yim to Hung Sing which is believed to contain a secret referral to the Hung Society winning the victory in overthrowing the Ching Government. He then instructed Jeong Yim to open a Hung Sing Kwoon in Fut San, and join up with the Fut San Chapter of the Hung Mun.  He opened more than one Kwoon then, one for regular students, and the other was more for teaching the Hung Mun members.

In 1839 Jeong Hung Sing opened the Fut San Hung Sing Kwoon which was just off of Yabang Street and gained instant widespread recognition. Because of his fame Jeong Hung Sing took on many challengers, but remained undefeated. Many of the ones who lost to him asked to join his school.

		Hung  Sing (Hung Victorious) This is the original name given to Jeong Yim by Monk Ching Cho which infers that the Hung Society will be victorious in their battle against the government
		Hung Sing "Glorious Victory" This is the name Jeong Yim chose to use to shake the stigma and focus by the government due his involvement in many of Southern China's revolutions.

     In return for all of Chan Heungs assistance Jeong Yim shared with his former sifu what he learned from the Green Grass Monk. Together they studied the new techniques and Jeong Yim was at work redefining the Chan Heungs system by adding the "Fut" in Choy Lee Fut. They created many new techniques as well including the secret call signs and the salutations.

     Once Jeong Hung Sing and Chan Heung was finished adding in the new techniques, Jeong Hung Sing became known as the true founder of Choy Lee Fut Upon returning to Fut San Jeong Hung Sing started to develop his gung fu separately from that of Chan Heung based on his personal needs, as well as his students too.

     In the meantime, Jeong Hung Sing was heavily involved in supporting the revolution and training members of the Hung Mun Secret Society. At the same time he was busy defeating many more newcomers interested in challenging him to make a name for themselves.

     Because of it’s effectiveness in combat Jeong Hung Sings gung fu was spreading thoughout Southern China like wildfire. It also created a few enemies amongst those who were jealous of his success. Some of the ones that were defeated by him went to the Ching Government to report the Fut San Hung Sing Kwoon was a hotbed for freedom fighters.

    In 1848 the Ching Empire sent their soldiers into Fut San to close down the Hung Sing Kwoon and arrest or even kill the rebels if necessary. The Opium wars, of 1840, the Tai Ping Rebellion in 1851, and the Red Turban Revolt in 1854 was just some of the famous revolutions the Hung Sing Kwoon was involved in.

Every time a Hung Sing Kwoon closed a new one would emerge elsewhere. The blood of the revolution ran deep into the heart of the southern Chinese who refused to submit to foreign rule. Once the situation cooled down in Fut San and the attention was taken off of the Hung Sing Kwoon, Jeong Yim would keep returning to re-open it.

    In 1864 once again the Fut San Hung Sing Kwoon was on the Ching’s hit list. It was closed down and Jeong Hung Sing escaped to Hong Kong while his students spread throughout the countryside to hide and re-establish more Hung Sing Kwoons. Then in 1867 Jeong Hung Sing returned to Fut San again to re-open his school.   Relentless in his pursuit to fight for the cause of the people, evidence of hos dedication, and commitment is found in the pair of Couplets that hang on the walls of all Hung Sing Kwoon’s.

In the southern part of China they strongly supported the Hung Mun Society. So much so that most of the men during that time changed their names to replace it with the word Hung. Jeong Yim’s original Hung in his name had to be changed to shake any ties to the secret society. Therefore he changed over to use the Hung meaning Glorious.

                                     Also, the new Hung means Goose, but to the Chinese the goose has a special meaning. It represents longevity, and since the Chinese language is so colorful, it possible there was a hidden interpretation inferring longevity to the Hung Society.

Jeong Hung Sing had many, many students during his time. Some of the more famous ones were Yuen Hai, Lee Yan, Lui Chun, Wong Fook, Jeong Sam Bing, Wong Sei, Chun Mien, Lee So and Chan Ngau Sing..

In 1893 Jeong Hung Sing returned to Fut San after attending a social gathering. It is thought that he was poisoned and passed away leaving behind a wife named Chan Kay, and two sons who died pretty early on. His body is buried in Song Sui Jong Goon.

Chan Ngau Sing took over as the next successor to the Fut San Hung Sing Kwoon.  Yuen Hai went to Hong Kong and opened a Hung Sing Kwoon.  Meanwhile Chan Ngau Sing installed a new set of strict rules for both students and teachers.

All perspective students were by referral only, and must meet Chan Ngau Sings requirements of having a job, not working for the government, couldn't be homeless, or a bad ass.  Many of Chan Ngau Sings students were members of Labor Unions,  and  Small Business owners.

All teachers must have a street address, weaponry must be displayed in weapon rack, must clearly post the Fut San Hung Sing Kwoon rules, must go through a constant reviews, and a check of character.

All of the students and teachers were expected to be stand up citizens, but were encouraged to involve themselves in revolutionary activity since it was for the good of the people.However, for the image of the Hung Sing Kwoon Chan Ngau Sing banned Lion Dancing believing it drew too much attention.  But, he was the head of two Lion dance groups called the Lui Chung and Hip Lein Lion Dance societies with numbers in the thousands, and secretly were all Fut San Hung Sing students.

The most successful period of the Fut San Hung Sing Kwoonthere were a total of 13 consequitive schools in operation reaching a number of students around 10,000.
