History
When Guangzhou was about to be liberated, for being a military officer of the Republic of China he brought with his three sons, Cheung Ping Sum, Cheung Ping Lam and Cheung Ping Fat to migrate to Hong Kong, then some of his disciples also came to Hong Kong. It was from that time onward the Pak Mei Martial Arts were formally brought to Hong Kong and starting to be spread in Hong Kong Great Grand Master passed away in Hong Kong at the age of eighty odd years in 1964. During his time in Hong Kong he only taught about twenty odd disciples, but it has now been developed that members of the Pak Mei Clan can be found in many parts of the world and the Pak Mei Martial Arts may have been passed on to the ninth generation nowadays. Great Grand Master combated with many Kung Fu masters during his lifetime and defeated all of them. Many of his opponents admired the Pak Mei Martial Arts after their failure and became his disciples such as Master Chan Sau and master Tsang Wai Pok aforesaid, and Great Grand Master was very willing to pass the Pak Mei Martial Arts to them.
After the death of the Great Grand Master, members of the fifth generation of the Pak Mei Clan held meetings and elected Grand Master Cheung Ping Lam as the Head of the Pak Mei Clan. Grand Master Cheung Ping Lam is the second son of the Great Grand Master Cheung Lai Chuen. Great Grand Master taught Grand Master Cheung Ping Lam the Pak Mei Martial Arts since his childhood. Grand Master firstly performed martial arts in the Whampoa Military College at the age of seven years and started to teach the Pak Mei Martial Arts at the age of eighteen years. Amongst the disciples and sons of the Great Grand Master, Grand Master Cheung Ping Lam is the one who spent the longest time to learn the Pak Mei Martial Arts from the Great Grand Master and research the Pak Mei Martial Arts with the Great Grand Master. During the old age of the Great Grand master in Hong Kong, Grand Master usually stayed by his side to make research of martial arts with him and taught for and on behalf of the Great Grand Master some of his disciples the Pak Mei Martial Arts.
Grand Master has devoted all his lifetime to martial arts and obtained all the vitalities and importance of the Pak Mei Martial Arts. He has taken up the teaching of the Pak Mei Martial Arts as his life career and frequently teaches the members of the fifth and sixth generations of the Pak Mei Clan the Pak Mei Martial Arts for the purpose of promoting them to the higher level. Thus Grand Master was elected as the Head of the Pak Mei Clan an account of his doings and prestige. He has selected to teach good quality disciples of a smaller number rather than bad quality students of a larger number and teaches his selected disciples of all known by him without reserve. In 1999 Grand Master has attained the age of seventy-three years.
