This is the whip used by Kwan Tak Hing in The Mystical Whip-wielding Hero (1968). Three metres long, this is a weapon that can keep the foe at bay. Whipping techniques are devised to incapacitate the opponents' weapons and entangle their limbs. Mastering the techniques is a long, arduous process. According to seasoned martial arts actor Cheung Kwok Wah, every prospective apprentice of the whip must weave their own whip before taking lessons from a master. The photo shows the long whip personally hand-woven by Cheung Kwok Wah. The Story of Wong Fei-hung, Part 1: Wong Fei-hung's Whip that Smacks the Candle, released in Hong Kong on 8 October 1949, was directed by Wu Pang and produced by Yongyao Film Company. This is the first film about the martial arts master Wong Fei Hung in Hong Kong cinematic history. The picture shows Kwan Tak Hing (as Wong Fei Hung) holding a three-sectioned steel whip and Tso Tat Wah (as Leung Foon) holding a red-tasselled spear. The Mystical Whip-wielding Hero (aka The Magic Whip), released in Hong Kong on 13 August 1968, was directed by Wong Fung and produced by Eng Wah & Company. Kwan Tak Hing appeared as a Chinese Medicine practitioner.
