I heard a rumor, and was wondering if this had any credibility to it.
In China, i’m hearing that some northern school has issues with the Wong Fei Hung School. I heardi its kinda serious. does anyone know if this is true? just a rumor? or better kept quiet?
Well, it’s in China, so I’m sure it’ll take some time to get to my ears, but I haven’t heard anything.
Wong Feihung, as we know, studied with bona fide teachers of the day!
There were no false claims unless a Feihung student embellished his own record and cited someone outside the Feihung clan!
dont know, but can I tell you a cool thing (kung fu magic).
If you use an online translator and you want to translate (huang fei hung), it give the english translation as “Once Upon a Time”.
I think its pretty cool. Anyways, sorry for derailing this thread.
you can check this here http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php
well, i have been in China for 9 times, never heard anything like that
there are always lots of issues in china between kung fu schools. like the wujing / ye wen thing when the movie came out. maybe theres going to be a new hfh movie to be released soon
Frankie, wanna see something cool? Hung Ga Magic?
Go to this site http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php. and navigate to the page called "Translate ".
in the translate box, paste this in . And then click on chinese - to - english.
Cool huh?
I asked my chinese tutor and some friends and non of them use that expression at all nor were anyone familiar with it, but i guess its some common phrase which is probably why the movie took that name
hmmm…so the movie,“Once Upon a Time in China,” simply meant,“Wong Fei-Hung in China?” 
Circle the wagons! Boil the Chi! Sharpen the Kwan Dos! They’re coming! They’re coming! 
Great, now we have to go kill Frank…
shooot…PLS do me that favor. i’m too chicken to do it myself hahahaha!
google translate doesn’t see it that way though eddie. 
that’s funny…cause when i google translate it comes up as FREEMASON
david, google is doing the same for me. this is weird. ill try my work pc today
[QUOTE=hskwarrior;1010396]that’s funny…cause when i google translate it comes up as FREEMASON[/QUOTE]
really cause other translators turn this: “Hongmen Secret Society”
lol
yup…thats what it translates to hahaha
Where does the phrase “” come from? Doesn’t really make sense except something like: "Now time for Huang Feihong … "; a bit like the “Lone Ranger Adventure Hour”.

Maybe a better translation would be “in Huang Feihong’s time..”, which from that i guess you could read as ‘once upon a time’?
the time period of Wong Fei Hung
I mea, literally , but faking it can be fun I guess
simple, English name for movie series with Jet Li - Once Upon a Tine in China, in Chinese Wong Feihung
