Some time ago, I watched a movie titled <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076168/" rel="nofollow"> Executioners from Shaolin </a> and this is where I first time heard the word Red Boat and how the King was desperate to kill these Red Boat people. I did not know that story was true. This was the first movie where a woman was show so much powerful <a href="http://french.imdb.com/name/nm0497763/" rel="nofollow"> Lily Li </a>. It was also show how some monk was helping the king to kill these people. In the end the evil monk was killed when a young man uses a mix of Tiger and Crane style he learned from his Father and Mother. From another masterpiece of Kung Fu <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072991/" rel="nofollow"> Five Shaolin Masters </a>, I learned how the Southern and Northern styles developed and why. Those Chinese names always confuse me but Ming, Manchus and Han are stuck in my mind as Kung-Fu movies talk so much about them. Thanks for the lesson, I did not know those things about Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. Aha… now I know the term Red Boat.

From another masterpiece of Kung Fu Five Shaolin Masters , I learned how the Southern and Northern styles developed and why. Those Chinese names always confuse me but Ming, Manchus and Han are stuck in my mind as Kung-Fu movies talk so much about them.

Thanks for the lesson, I did not know those things about Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung.
