Fu Chen Sung (also known as Fu Qiankun, also written Fu Zhen Song) was born in MaPo village, Henan province, China. When he was eight years old, the village set up a martial arts school. They hired Chia Feng Ming (a top student of the founder of ba gua zhang, Grandmaster Dong Haichuan) and from the nearby Chen village, Chen Yanxi (an 8th generation disciple of tai chi). They would teach in a local field. After nine years Fu reached the stage "hands grasp the lively sparrow", which meant he could leap and capture a bird without hurting it. After this, he learnt the tai chi ball and then moved to Beijing, where he studied more ba gua with Ma Gui and Cheng Ting Hua, both first generation disciples of Dong Haichuan.
