Early in his life, the young Cheung 3 Fung (then known as Cheung Gwun Bo) was a student of the Shaolin monk Gok Yeun, but would it be accurate to say that Cheung Gwun Bo was never officially a Shaolin monk? For starters, he never received a Buddhist name: during his time at Shaolin, he retained his secular name of Cheung Gwun Bo. Secondly, if the HSDS '86 adaptation is accurate, he never shaved his head.
