(Under
construction!)
As you all may
know, the legend of the condor hereos conists of several centuries and thus making it one
of the most interesting and difficult series TVB has ever released. That's not so much of
a surprise if you knew that the legend of the Condor Heroes is created by THE legendary
writer/artist, Gum Yung. I (Peter) and Sanney Leung both like this serie very much and
have had many discussions about it. The most fun part of our discussions were our theory
about what happened in the "voids" between the different series The Legend
Of The Condor Hereos, The Return of The Condor Hereos, etc. I want to share our theories
and knowledge with you, so I've written this page. Have fun! If you want to give your own
theory and stuff, I'd like to hear it very much. Just E-mail them to me at this address petervon@worldonline.nl
The Story Of Ying Goo When Wong Chong Yeung found out what Chau Bak Tong had done he brought him to Yut Dung and said that he could do to Chow Bak Tung what he wished. Chow Bak Tung said he would accept anything Yut Dung wants to do. Yut Dung realized that it's his own fault, because he spent all of his time into kung fu instead of being with his wife, so Yut Dung called out Ying Goo to ask if she loved Chow Bak Tung, but got his answer when, once Ying Goo came in, Ying Goo cried "Bak Tung!" and went to Chow Bak Tung's side. Yut Dung told Chow Bak Tung to leave with Ying Goo. Chow Bak Tung said that's not the way of a gentleman (fei dai jeun foo so wai) and so he took out the handkerchief that Ying Goo gave him and threw it on the ground. Then he "faat sai" (swore) never to see Ying Goo again. The handkerchief had a picture of two white-haired birds together perched on a tree. Signifying two birds that have grown old together. On it was the first line of that poem, "say cheung gay, yeen yuen jik jow yuk seung fei..." YD saw it, closed his eyes in grief because the woman he loves loves another. Chow Bak Tung left with Wong Chung Yeung and Ying Goo picked up the handkerchief and started crying. |Ying Goo expected Yut Dung to kick her out of the palace but instead Yut Dung gave her a better but more secluded place to live. Hoping to show that he had forgiven her. But Ying Goo thought because it was more secluded that he didn't want to see her again. | A few years past after that. |

The history of the Kwok & Yeung Family
Two war-hereos and good friends in the country, Yeung and Kwok decided to live a simple
life with their wifes in Ngau Ka Chun. Both of their wifes got pregnant and they made an
deal that when their childs are born and they're both boys, they'll become godbrothers,
when they're girls, they'll become godsisters and when they're boy and girl they'll become
man and wife. A student of Wong Chung Yeung, Yau Tsu Gay became friends with them and was
the bearer of this promise. | |
Yut Dung wanted to go to her place many times but heard through servants that Ying Goo didn't go out or anything so he thought she was still depressed over Chow Bak Tung so he didn't go visit her. At the same time, Ying Goo thought Yut Dung really hated her | Anyway, months later the baby is born. All this time, Yut Dung never saw Ying Goo, he knew she was pregnant though through the servants. (The servants thought the baby was Yut Dung's but he knew it was Chow Bak Tung's.) |. |
The Death of Wong Chung Yeung Wong Chung Yeung gets sick and decided to set a trap for the evil of the west, Sai Duk Ngau Yeung Fung before he dies. He knew that Ngau Yeung Fung wants the Gau Yam Chan King and if he gets it and learnt it, the world would be in big trouble. He faked his death and when Ngau Yeung Fung came to his funeral to get the Gau Yum Chan King, Wong Chung Yeung used all of his strength he had left to use Yat Yeung Tsi and severely injurts Ngau Yeung Fung who retreats. But Wong Chung Yeung had already used all of his strength and died soon after he ordered Chow Bak Tung to keep the Gau Yum Chan King in a safe place and protect it. | Chow Bak Tung went to Dung Che's island, Toa Fa To to tell him that his "Si Hing" died, but Dung Che's wife fooled him by learning the complete Gau Yum Chan Ging by heart and told Chow Bak Tung that that's not the real Gau Yum Tsan Ging. Chow Bak Tung was very angry and destroyed the Gau Yum Chan Ging. Dung Che made his wife write down everything she remembered from the Gau Yum Chan Gin (she's a genius too, so she remembered everything. Although it's a strange langauge). She did that, but was exhausted from it and died soon after she gave birth to her and Dung Che's daughter, Wong Yung. | . |
Later they both gave birth to their childs, Kwok Ching and Yeung Hong. According to their deal, they should be brothers. Yeung Tit Cheung (the husband) was injured severely and went to some place to recover. He adopted a young girl, Mook Lim Chi later. | |
One night, Ying Goo brought the baby to Yut Dung's palace and started screaming, "if you wanted to punish me, punish me not the innocent baby." Yut Dung didn't understood what Ying Goo was saying, so YG told that a a man in black tried to kill the baby and that she thought that it was Yut Dung who ordered her to do that. YD explained that it wasn't him that ordered a man dressed in black to come in and kill the baby. YG believes him and YD asks to see the baby to see what he can do to help. YD finds out the attacker is very cruel because he didn't hit the baby hard enough to kill, just hard enough to make it in a lot of pain. One of the baby's "muks" are blocked (plus his rib cage is shattered). YD says he can save the baby. YD gets ready by removing the baby's quilt but he sees that the quilt includes that handkerchief that she had given CBT. When YD sees it, he hesitates and sits down and broods. Ying Goo says, "you are very cruel, you still haven't forgiven me, you still hate me for what I did." Her hair turns white, she sings a lullaby to her baby and gets it to fall asleep she then pulls out a knife and stabs the baby in the heart. YD was brooding, lost in thought, he fully intended to heal the baby but the shock of seeing the handkerchief made him brood for a while. So he was too late to stop Ying Goo from stabbing the baby. Ying Goo wraps the baby up in the quilt, then she rips the handkerchief off the quilt and wraps the knife inside of it. Turning to YD, Ying Goo says, "next time you see this knife, it will be in your chest." And she leaves. YD despises himself for his hesitation. He thought if he were a better person he wouldn't have hesitated when he saw the handkerchief. So he decides to "chuet ga." (become a monk) | As for Ying Goo, she buries her child and just wanders off to the west where she meets up with Ou Yeung Feng. YG tells OYF her story and her desire to get revenge. OYF is happy he can "jei do saat yun" (borrow a knife to kill a person) meaning he can use YG to eliminate one of his opponents in the next Wah Shan Lum Gim. So he teaches YG how to use "dok jeun" (poison palm) how to inject poison when hitting a person and other poison techniques. (He then draws that picture that YG gave Kwok Ching and WY to give YD when they got to YD's place.) The picture is of a monk who cuts off his own flesh to save a bird. It's a picture illustrating an old Buddhist parable. The monk came upon an injured bird and when healing it the bird needed to be fed, but it was a bird of prey and needed to eat meat. A Buddhist can't kill anything for food, so instead of feeding the bird meat from an animal, the Buddhist cuts off part of his own flesh to feed the bird. Suggesting to YG, that all she has to do is weaken YD somehow by injuring somone close to him. For sure, YD will risk his life to save them and when he is weak after saving the person, she could attack. OYF was content to let YG do the work. However, one day, YG hears that CBT has been imprisoned at Toa Fa Do. So she leaves Bak Toi Shan and heads for Toa Fa Do. OYF is perplexed and realizes that he must execute the plan by himself so he went with Ou Yeung Hark to bushwhack Fish (one of the four students of YD). Fish now has the same injury that the baby had. YD decides to save Fish but first he must find a place to hide from OYF because after saving Fish, YD's energy would be very low and he wouldn't be able to beat OYF. That's why OYF couldn't kill YD because YD went into hiding. As for Ying Goo, she got to Toa Fa Do but got lost in the maze. She walked around for three days then finally collapsed from exhaustion. Wong Yuek Ce discovers her and orders one of his slaves to take her to the beach, heal her enough to travel and send her on her way. YG leaves TFD having never seen WYC (she was passed out) or CBT. She realizes that she has to learn "kei moon sut so" (geometry, trigonometry) to solve the maze so she goes back to Da Li. She finds the quicksand pits and builds a house there, protecting it with a "kei moon sut so" maze from the kmss that she already learned. She also practiced the kung fu that OYF and YD taught her from before. She also improved her hing kung by running/jumping in the quicksand. She was practising kung fu and studying kei moon sut so when Wong Yung and Kwok Ching happened upon her. Then seeing WY hurt, she remembered Ou Yeung Feng's plan and put it into action. |
Chow Bak Tung discovered that he has been fooled so he went back to Toa Fa To to get Gau Yum Chan Ging back. The sad Dung Che didn't want to know anything from the scipture that killed his wife, but he also couldn't destroy it because it's his wife last present to him. That's why he won't give it to Chow Bak Tung. Chow Bak Tung can't win from Dung Che and stayed on Toa Fa To and kept waiting. | Two of Dung Che's students are romanticly involved and decided to steal Gau Yum Chan Ging and learn from it. Dung Che find that out and they fled away. In a rage of anger Dung Che broke the legs of all of his students and let them leave Toa Fa To. Dung Che remains with his daughter and tries to teach her everything he knew |
The start of The Legend Of The Condor Hereos.
| Kwok got killed after Yeung's wife saved an
Gam Kok (theland of Gam) prince who felt in love with her and decided to kill her husband
to get her. In the middle of the fight, Yeung's family got seperated Kwok's wife was also
seperated from them. Yeung's wife thought that her husband had died and left the sad
place with the prince (she didn't knew that it was him who killed their husbands). Kwok's
wife went to the boundaries of the country, near mongolia. | 
| A
lot of things happens to them after that. (this part might not be so chronological
correct) They met one of the four martial experts, Pak Koi, Hung Chat Kung. He became Kwok
Chings teacher and taught him his "Hong Lung Sap Pat Chung" (the eighteen palms
that supressess the dragon) They met Yeung Hong's father and his stephdaughter Mook Lim
Chi. Kwok Ching lost from Yeung Hong Yeung Hong's father got to see his wife back, but
they both soon died because Yeung Hong didn't want to lose his wealth as a prince. And
Yeung Hong's father died with his wife. Mook Lim Chi fell in love with Yeung Hong. Kwok
Ching and Wong Yung got seperated from eachother by Dung Che. Kwok Ching followed them and
met Chow Pak Tung and learnt the Gau Yam Chan King from him. Kwok Ching won from Sai Duk's
nephew from the marriage martial arts contest for Wong Yung (IE who wins gets Wong Yung)
but Dung Che found out that Kwok Ching "cheated". Hung Chat Kung got poisened by
Sai Duk and later he, Kwok Ching were trapped at an island. Wong arrived later and Hung
Chat Kung taught Wong Yung his "Ta Kau Pang Fat" (The Stick's Play To Hit Dogs)
and made her the leader of "Goi Bong" the beggars bund because he felt he won't
live long anymore. | Later Kwok Ching, Wong Yung and Hung Chat Kung managed to escape from
the island and they went to a hotel to cure Hung Chat Kung's poison. But soon after that,
Kwok Ching and Wong Yung got seperated from Hung Chat Kung. | Kwok Ching got a fight
with Wong Yung and they got seperated once again. The
Death Of Yeung Hong The circumstances around the death of Yeung Hong are the same in the
1994 version of Legend of the Condor Heros except for the following: (a) the poison that
Wong Yung has on her armor is the same poison that Ou Yeung Feng used to kill the sharks
in his bet with Chau Bak Tung. (b) when Yeung Hong gets poisoned, first he thinks its just
a flesh wound, then his arm goes numb, then he goes crazy and starts attacking people. (c)
during this time, one of the flunkies following Yuan Ang Hung Leet, Sa Tung Tin, tries to
restrain Yeung Hong. Yeung Hong scratches Sa's arm and Sa becomes poisoned.
Realizing what happened, Pang Lin Fu chops off Sa's arm. So Sa becomes the second
person of the group to become handicapped. The first was Hou Tung Hoi (the three bumps
guy) who had his ears cut off by Chau Bak Tung in the Sung Emperor's Castle when Yuan Ang
Hung Leet and his men were trying to steal Mo Mok Wai Shih and Chau Bak Tung was
pretending to be a ghost. (d) Just before he dies, Yeung Hong has a moment of
clarity. Yuan Ang Hung Leet takes Yeung Hong outside to his soldiers so they can
bring him back to the Gum palace to find the palace doctors to heal him. But Yeung
Hong suddenly goes crazy again. Seeing what happened to Sa earlier, Yuan Ang Hung
Leet leaves. Yeung Hong convulses in pain, goes limp, and dies. (e) Crows that
are nearby, start pecking at Yeung Hong and pick all the flesh out of his body. But
since his flesh is poisoned, crows start dropping all over the place and eventually all
the crows in the area die. At no time does Mok Lim Chee show up. (f) Later when
reunited with Or Jun Lok, Gwok Jing finds out what happened to Yeung Hong. After Or
leaves to go to To Fa Do, Gwok Jing starts to search for Wong Yung but first he goes to
the place to bury Yeung Hong. He gets to the place and it stinks from the flesh of
the decaying birds. All that's left of Yeung Hong's body is the skeleton. Gwok
Jing buries Yeung Hong nearby I'm sure you'll agree that Yeung Hong dies a much more
gruesome death in the book than he does in the TV series.
