Early Life
Huang Sian Teh, (黃 善 德) was born on March 15, 1919 in Cai Village, Hui'an County, Fukien Province, China soon after the fall of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. This was a dangerous and violent period in Chinese history with much lawlessness and civil war raging throughout the country. Due to the dangerous times Huang’s father sent him to study Northern & Southern Shaolin Kung Fu at the age of five. During his training Huang learned both northern and southern style martial arts as well as TaiJiQuan and Qi Gong.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“On the Coast of Coromandel
Where the early pumpkins blow,
In the middle of the woods
Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
One old jug without a handle,—
These were all his worldly goods:
In the middle of the woods,”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
“It is life near the bone where it is sweetest. You are defended from being a trifler.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
