As you can see I am proud of my CLF heritage, having done it for nearly all my life (I am 63 this year).
I am not a spokesperson for the Chan clan, I merely want to provide an alternative point of views to what I considered inaccurate informations about Chan Heaung and his descendants given out by people like Frank and his elders like Lun Tse. I feel if I don't do this then I am not being a respectful son. I know it is a waste of time but I have to do what I can.
I feel if I can provide an alternative point of view, then people will have a better chance of seeing the whole picture. You know there is not one CMA style that still has the first-born son carrying on the family's tradition for 5 generations uninterrupted, at least I can do is to speak out for them even if they don't want to do it themselves for the sake of keeping the peace in the CLF world.

It was just a curiosity. I'm not about to get wrapped up in that lineage malarkey. I just train.
