Tung was a distant cousin of Ten Ping, living nearby.

in fact, given the small community that Ten Ping was living in, in her childhood, a lot of the members in the community were somehow related to Ten Ping in one way or another.

Agile Tung was six years older than Ten Ping, and an avid martial art practitioner. He trained until sunset every evening at the backyard of his home, even on weekends; and thus even at his teens, Tung was a proficient practitioner.

Tung practiced a particular branch of martial arts known as “Wing Chun”, which young Tung learned from his father – a certified Wing Chun master.

The origin of the martial art “Wing Chun” is somehow of a myth; based on a legend, not written facts.

Once there was an attractive young woman named Wing Chun who was unfortunately constantly harassed by the local ruffians due to her irresistible beauty.

It was one spring evening, while young Wing Chun was taking a leisurely stroll alone, in the neighborhood, that 3 of the local ruffians cornered young Wing Chun into an isolated back alley with ill intents. Desperately, young Wing Chun screamed for help; and frantically tried to run away to no avail.

At the critical moments, somehow, an elderly monk suddenly appeared from nowhere to help.

Upon sighting the elderly monk, the 3 local ruffians, swiftly surrounded the high monk and attacked without warning from all directions. In a surprise, young Wing Chun saw the elderly monk easily fight off the attacks with just a few smooth movements of his arms and body. Realizing they have met up with a martial art expert, the 3 local ruffians promptly turn tail and ran away.

Grateful young Wing Chun thank the elderly monk repeatedly; and even kneel down onto her knees to beg the high monk to teach her how to protect herself from future attacks.

Instinctively sensing a good pupil prospect, the high monk reluctantly agreed.

A few days later, per their arrangement, the high monk came back and took Wing Chun to a temple high in the hills of Sichuan Province and taught her a set of martial arts.

After learning the moves, Wing Chun went home.

In her next encounter with the local ruffians, Wing Chun easily handled the ruffians advances and attacks; never to be seen nearby again.

The news spread. Young ladies (and young men) from all around came to Wing Chun to learn the protective self-defense art from Wing Chun.

The martial arts of “Wing Chun” was thus born.

Young Tung was always fascinated by this legend, and it was his dream to also experience the same kind of encounter.

Ever since childhood, young Tung had always urged his father to take him to the temple high in the hill in Sichuan Province to “meet” with the martial art high monks. Consequently, Tung’s favorite animal was the panda as the legend went that the mountain where Wing Chun trained had many pandas.

Back at school, Ten Ping was always intrigued by Tung’s determination to go home every day to practice.

Tung was quite popular in school as he was funny, a bit of a good-looker and also quite good in his studies. Yet he would still insistently go home every afternoon and not attend the after-school activities that the teens liked to play, like marble shooting, bean bag tossing or soccer.

Once, Ten Ping even asked Tung why he loved martial art so much, and Tung just replied, “the essence of Wing Chun is not only training the body but also training the heart. If I maintain true to a goal and ignore all the temptations, I will eventually realize my dream.” Upon asking what Tung’s dream was, he replied “to go to train with high monks.”

Afterward, Ten Ping used to joke Tung about this.

60 years later, Ten Ping contemplated what Tung said, and while she still smiles at Tung’s dream of meeting unrealistic people, she did, however, feel that there is a lot to wisdom in staying true to a goal. The practice is difficult, noble, and respectable.

Ten Ping wondered how much did she do in her life to stay true to her dreams.
