Just before he left, Yuen introduced Yiu Choi to his friend, Ng Jung-So, to continue his studies. It is suggested Yiu might also have received some instruction from Chan Wah-Shun as well. Yiu Choi and his brother owned and operated smoke and gambling houses and later opened one on Shilutou and offered space there for Ng Chun-So to hold his nightly classes. Ng taught from the club for roughly a decade and when he retired, Yiu moved him into his home and cared for him for roughly a decade more until he passed away.Known as "Dai Lik" (Big Strong) due to his natural power, Yiu Choi taught Wing Chun Kuen to his son, Yiu Kil (Yui Kay), as well as to students such as Go Bing and Fok Joy.  According to Grandmaster Yui Kil, his father Great grandmaster Yui Choi was one of Yip Man's teachers. During different stages of life, there was also a time when both Yui Choi and Yip Man had the same teacher (Ng Chun-So).This makes Great Grandmaster Yui Choi his Teacher Si-fu and also elder Si-Hing. Great Grandmaster Yui Choi is the 5th generation of wing Chun - bestowed upon him by Ng Chun So, the title 'Descendant of Wing Chun'. Yui Choi taught his son Yui Kil and passed onto to him the 'Wing Chun Descendant' title. On the 13th February 1988, Grandmaster Yui Kil awarded Master Wai-Po Tang the title of 'Descendant of Wing Chun'.

"In 1939, Master Nguyen Te Cong fled to Viet-Nam, since then, he became the founding father (Su-to) of Việt nam Vĩnh Xuân Nội gia Quyền (Vietnam WingChun) branch.  From 1939 to 1954, Su-to stayed in Hanoi, accepted and trained disciples in WingChun Kung-fu.  These disciples were Chinese and Vietnamese, among them there are several considered as his true successors, and were pictured with him (see photo).   In reality, only 2 from these 6 disciples (in the picture) open class to train WingChun, based on what they had learned from Su-To. They are the late grandmaster Tran Thuc Tien (the first from the right), the late grandmaster Tran Van Phung (the first from the left, in glasses).  Later on, there was also the branch of the late grandmaster Ngo Sy Qui.  At the end of 1954, Su-to Nguyen Te Cong with his family went to the South Vietnam.  In the South, he accepted several disciples, some of them later open class to train WingChun, such as Master Ho Hai Long (real name is Nguyen Duy Hai). In Sai-gon (now is Ho-Chi-Minh City), Su-to Nguyen Te Cong and his family lived in  Dong Khanh Alley, Cho Lon district.  In the afternoon of 23/6/1959 (or 18/5 lunar calendar) He passed away after 2 days since acquired disease. "  full article here
