(Chan Tai-San has the same honors as well.)It was written by one of China's greatest modern day calligraphers. I would assume Dai Seng Pek Kwa Grandmaster, Chan Sau-Chung knows him, as they were classmates. He also organized the largest lion dance in China,300 lion dancers.
So, he is well-known, but you need to know the people who know him. Like I said, different circles. You also need to realize, many of the biggest names in Chinese Martial Arts, that we all recognize,are only known to the people that read the magazines. You go outside of their fishbowl, and many of them are not seen with the same eyes. |
If he was awarded a plaque from the chinese Government in high regard, surely there has to be media/nespaper, or something of coverage.
