Choy Fook lived as a recluse on Lou Fu mountain and no longer wished to teach martial arts.

Using that description, Chan Heung eventually located the monk and handed him a letter of recommendation from Li Yau-San.

One morning, when Chan Heung was practicing his kung fu, Choy Fook pointed to a heavy rock and told him to kick it into the air.

This time the monk agreed, and for nine years Choy Fook taught Chan Heung both the way of Buddhism and the way of martial arts.

When he was twenty-eight, Chan Heung left Choy Fook and returned to King Mui village in 1834, where he revised and refined all that he had learned.

In 1988, Hong Kong broadcaster TVB adapted a wuxia TV series of the life of Chan Heung, featuring Meng Fei.
