Su Kong Tai Djin was born in Fukien, China in 1849.  He was born with a rare condition where he was covered with hair from head to toe.  His parents thought they had given birth to a demon child and they abandoned him in the forest near the Fukien temple.  A monk passing by saw the young boy and took him to the Shao-Lin masters.  They knew it would be hard to find a family that would take him in so they decided to raise him themselves.

Since his early childhood, he showed an extreme amount of enthusiasm and the Shao-Lin masters took notice of this.  They let him study all branches of Shao-Lin instead of just one. He mastered hundreds of forms and disciplines. This was an unparalled acheivement. His achievments and knowledge earned him the title of Grandmaster of Fukien.
