Wan Lai Sheng and 1928 National arts tournament

[NorthernShaolin]

KF,

KYC was a master of Small Golden Bell. Large Golden Bell became a lost art by the end of the Boxer rebellion for obvious reasons.

WLS did not learn Small Golden Bell until after that particular fight in 1912. He was only 19 years old and still learning different aspects of TCMA.

omarthefish,

Try going to the original newspaper agency and see if they micro film their old newspaper articles. Some of the large libraries in Shanghai may have copies in micro-film. Also try some of the universities' libraries.

Seek out the original articles because many contain eye witnessed first hand knowledge of the events. Stay away from the comtemporary articles written after 1960's and especially after 1970's because PRC forced all historians to tone down the writing of all China's MA heros. (To prevent ideas of rebellion or revolution against authority i.e., their govenment. Many TCMA heros stood and fought against authority like the Emperor.)
