The well-established combination of knowledge of traditional medicine and martial arts techniques, supported also by the nobility of character, made the Wong family often intervene in helping the weak and oppressed people of that era. Hence, the people of Kwangtung are very respectful and very idolized Wong family.
Wong's family clinic patient who asks for medical help, generally comes from among the can not afford the cost of treatment. Nevertheless, the Wong family still helps every patient who comes with a serious cure. The Wong family never looked at the flesh in helping the patient, regardless of race, race, religion, all assisted by him without any strings attached.
Meanwhile, in secret, the Wong family was actively involved in the underground movement against the Qing Dynasty government which was always corrupt and oppressive.
Wong Fei-hung began to hone his beladir talent as he studied with Luk Ah-Choi who also once became his father's teacher. Luk Ah-Choi is the next to teach the basics of Hung Gar stance that makes Fei Hung successful in giving birth legendary "Kick Without Shadow".
The basics of Hung Gar's stance are found, developed and become the mainstay of Hung Hei-Kwun, the college-age brother of Luk Ah-Choi. Hung Hei-Kwun was a Shaolin warrior who escaped the burning and massacre of the Qing Dynasty in 1734.
Hung Hei-Kwun itself is a figure of a historic rebellion leader who almost defeated the Qing Dynasty dynasty. If the Qing government did not ask for help from foreign armed forces (Russia, Britain and Japan), then the Hung Hei-Kwun-led uprising would undoubtedly drive out the Qing Dynasty occupation.

In addition to using empty hands, Wong Fei-hung is also very powerful in using various weapons. The Cantonese people had seen firsthand with their own eyes how alone by holding a stick, successfully beating more than thirty port whiz with a hefty and cruel body in Canton who ravaged him for having defended the poor.
Wong Fei-hung himself has been married three times since his wife died short. Her son must also be killed from a fights incident with the mobs.
After his third wife died, Wong Fei-hung himself decided to live alone until he met Mok Gwai Lan, a young woman who also happened to be a martial art expert.
Mok Gwai Lan herself taught martial arts classes in special women in her husband's college. Mok Gwai Lan then becomes a life partner until the end of life.
Right in 1924, Wong Fei-hung died when he was 77 years old. The Chinese people, especially Kwangtung and Canton reminisced about him as a hero of the oppressed and never fearing defenders of their honor.
