In the Beginning
The Dong family came from Gong Tong County in Shanxi province. Dong Hai Chuan, born in 1797, was originally called Dong Ming Kui and was the second son of Dong Bo Xuan. At an early age he started learning Kung Fu from a relative called Dong Xian Zhou. At any chance he got, he would run off to be with Dong Xian Zhou and was rarely seen at home.
