Lao Sui Clan 2: Chu Gar Wedding Bells!
May saw wedding bells (hopefully not wedding bell blues) for a student of Chu Gar Sifu Xie Tiansheng in Yanzhou. A banquet with several hundreds of people concluded the affair which was also attended by Chu Gar Clan leaders, Chen Jianming, Ma Jiuhua, Xie Tiansheng and RDH. Below are a few pics.

There is a definite camaraderie among the active Clans of Lao Sui's family and pupils. It is one for all and all for one! Esprit de corp was the rule of the day.
