Fong Sai Yuk


Another one of Guangdong's heroes. Fong was trained by his mother at a very early age, and turned him into an impressive fighter. So impressive in fact, that he was challenged to a death match aged 14. He won of course.

He later joined the Red Flower Society, and under the leadership of Chan Kar Lok, participated in missions to overthrow the Manchu government.

Not much is known about what he did, or of his personal life, but his eagerness to fight, quick temper, and steadfast loyalty made him famous in Chinese history.

Legend has it that his own master betrayed him, and Fong was killed fighting his master. He died in his early twenties.
