Translator’s Note: I have added background information to this
blog entry written by Master Zhao Ming Wang.
As far as I can tell, Niu Jin Bao (1915-1988) respected Du Xinwu to such
an extent that he wanted to transmit Zhao Bichen’s lineage to him. This can be read in my published article
here: In Memory of My Father Niu Jin Bao (牛金宝) By Niu Sheng Xian (牛胜先)

(Left) Zhao Bichen (1860-1942) was the 11th generation descendant of the Longmen (Dragon Gate) School.
(Right) Du Xinwu (1869-1953) was a famous martial artist who once served as Sun Yat-sen’s bodyguard. He is famous for Zi Ran Men (自然門), or ‘Natural Gate’ style of Daoist martial arts, which he learned from Master Xu [徐] (who is described in the Chinese literature as a ‘dwarf’).
