  Wong Fei Hung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wong Fei Hung (Traditional Chinese: 黃飛鴻; Simplified Chinese: 黄飞鸿; Pinyin: Huáng Fēi Hóng; Cantonese Yale: Wong4 Fei1 Hung4) (July 9, 1847–March 25, 1924) was a healer, martial artist and revolutionary who became a Chinese folk hero often described as the "Chinese Robin Hood".
Legend has it that Wong Fei Hung was born in Foshan on the ninth day in the seventh month of Daoguan twenty-seventh year (1847).
Wong is sometimes included in the Ten Tigers of Canton (ten of the top martial arts masters in Guangdong towards the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912), a group to which his father Wong Kei Ying belonged).

 Wong Fei Hung
Wong Fei Hung (黃飛鴻 huang2 fei1 hong2) (1847 - 1942) was often mistaken to be one of the Ten Tigers of Canton - the top ten kung fu master in Guangzhou (Canton) during the end of Qing dynasty of China.
He became a legendary hero, and many Hong Kong movies are based on his story - indeed, both Jackie Chan (in Drunken Master I and II, portrayed as a trouble-making youth), Jet Li played Wong Fei Hung (Once Upon a Time in China Series).
Wong Fei Hong was also known as a real-life folk hero (who actually existed in History), perhaps the equivalent to a Chinese Robin Hood.

As for Wong, it is testament to his greatness as a Gung-Fu master, that despite the hundreds of movies, publications, and television shows dedicated to his life story, modern actors such as Jet Li and Jackie Chan are still eager to portray this great Gung-Fu master.
Born in 1847, Wong is recognized as the Father of modern Hung Gar.
By his early twenties, Wong was known as one of the “Ten Fighters of Canton”, a title bestowed upon the most skilled fighters in the area.

 Wong Fei Hung: The Man & the Legend
Fei-hung's father, Wong Kai-ying was known as one of the "Ten Tigers of Canton." According to Bey Logan in his book, Hong Kong Action Cinema, these men were a band of heroes who lived by a code of honor.
Much of the political turmoil surrounding Fei Hung as fictionally depicted in Once Upon a Time in China centered around a popular uprising where the people of Fujian demanded that the governor, Tang Jinsong be appointed head of a new democratic state while Fei Hung would become the commander-in-chief.
Wong Fei Hung is remembered as a Chinese patriot, a healer, a philosopher, and a martial artist who stood for the rights of the oppressed within a country long plagued with corrupt leadership.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | History of the Hong Kong Martial Arts Film
Wong Fei Hong was a famous martial artist and doctor of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican China.
Although Wong died in 1924, he is lovingly remembered as a legendary folk hero — largely because of the success of the Cantonese films that have maintained the legend.
Hong Kong’s Mandarin-dominated cinema had traditionally disdained the violence of the wu xia pian (including the Cantonese Wong Fei Hong films) and prided itself on the wen yi pian, or "literary arts films," melodramas or adaptations of novels and plays.

Wong Fei Hong (Chan), a master of "drunken boxing" (a form of martial arts where one finds the right balance between intoxication and sobriety to fight in a manner that completely obfuscates the opponents' moves) gets involved and must restore the stolen treasure to its rightful place.
Wong Fei Hong not only fights the villains using mind-boggling martial arts, but he also outlines every move he throws in the ring ("recovering from a hangover", "down the hatch", etc.).

 Edward Ratliff's Rhapsodalia | Wong Fei-Hong Meets Little Strudel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Ratliff and his New York City-based band “Rhapsodalia” go straight to one’s heart and imagination while injecting strong doses of whimsy and artful musicianship which is evident from the onset of the opener titled, “Bip Bip”.
Ratliff’s gritty, roadhouse style trombone work along with Attias’ heated alto sax voicings, spark thoughts of a turbo-charged polka or in spots, a boisterous Greek wedding on the frisky piece titled, “Milos The Cat” as the gentlemen evolve the tempo into a burning swing motif.
It doesn’t take too long to figure out, that Edward Ratliff is a fine musician who possesses a clever and crafty compositional pen, as these lucid and quite memorable pieces often deliver the knockout blow in candid and persistent fashion.
