I don't know about that. We spent many hours together and got on famously. Liang was the sobriquet he answered toWe visited Professor Zheng Manqing's (Cheng Man-c'ing) home on Sunday mornings in 1959-62, a class for Zheng's seniors at which Liang occasionally translated.

In fact, I knew him, his history and personality, better than I knew my own father." . He also was an enabler par excellance, introducing me to several great boxers and, as translator, accompanying me to practice with themA good man, sometimes quiet and reserved, Liang had a ready wit and his English was impeccable. But I will never forget my first taiji teacher in Taiwan

An inimitable personality and master First I wanted to make a brief comment on the one very negative review, which said Olson's book wasn't even well written. Come on, it's perfectly competent writing and well edited. I know because I spent 7 years working as an editor and writer in the publishing field, and the book is just fine as far as the quality of the writing and editing goes. Olson isn't a professional journalist as far as I know, and the book could have been written by a professional. The book is also from a reputable publisher, and they know . IF YOU KNEW THE REAL MAN Lien Wei This book seems to have started a few fires.For those who believe a T'ai Chi teacher is a God or Icon and not a man at heart (yo' Smith) think again.It's Great to read about Master T. T. Liang, a man who lived beyond what most could dream. A Great work, for those of us who loved T.T. first as a wonderful man then a great teacher here's the real deal, like it or not!The author Stuart Olson lived with Master Liang for many years and was his closed door student. Thank You Stuart !
