Chan Yik Yan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chan Yik Yan (Chinese: 陳亦人, Chen Yi Ren; 1909–1982) was a disciple of Liuhebafa Master Wu Yi Hui. Although Wu Yi Hui taught many students, it's only Chan Yik Yan who is known to have completed the entire Liuhebafa system.

Chan Yik Yan taught Liuhebafa in Hong Kong and Singapore. While a specific group of six disciples is often cited in certain lineages (listing Lung Wah, Jau Mui Tin, Poon Yi, Ho Moon Cheung, Choi Wai Lun, and Mok Kei Fa), Chan Yik Yan instructed other senior students who became instrumental in preserving the art.
Notably, Master Chan Kam Tung (Kam Tung) is recognized as a senior disciple who remained in Hong Kong to continue Chan Yik Yan's traditional teachings. Today, the lineage is represented both by Wai Lun Choi's efforts in the West and by Chan Kam Tung's school in Hong Kong.
