The history of Choy Lee Fut

It really sucks for ALL of CLF when one branch wants to exlude another or others because they don't practice and teach that one branches methods, ideas, principles, and so on. It really sucks that there are Chan Family members who won't let Jeong Yim have the history he so rightly deserves.
The chan Family has NO connection to the Green Grass Monk, but Jeong Yim did. because the green grass monk wouldn't go away, the chan family resorts to changing history turning him into Choy Fook so in order to keep the scales tipped in their favor.
The fact of the matter is that Jeong Yim was a short time student of CHan Heung. Regardless of the reason, Jeong Yim then went to Ching Cho. Before Chan Heung Jeong Yim studied with Lee Yau San, and is most likely why Jeong Yim adopted to Chan Heung's gung fu so well.
What sucks is that someone in the third generation records their history for posterity. And people belive it. Much like the believed the BIBLE and come to finde out that the original version has been modified to suit the publics feelings. However, when many of the other side cannot read or write their own names, and was not able to physically able to write it down due to their handicaps it doesn't mean they are lying when they verbally re-tell their lives and their histories people want to kick it to the curb.
Well guess what, many of you have gotten to know your grandfathers and got to know more of them by asking questions. NONE of what you learned about your grand fathers in 2006 are recorded for future use. I can say at least 50% of the people who read this forum has never taken the time to do a family tree.
Some of us even have living great great grand mothers yet no one has ever taken the time to write THEIR histories. And this is 2006. So to say that The Fut San Hung SIng Kwoon is wrong in the account of their own history because their were no written records from its origin is completely unfair. Not right. at all.
However, the Fut San Lineage lives on becuase of Soldiers like myself, and other HSK elders. Leave it up to the CHan Family HSK history would disappear all together.
