Bio in Qu Shijing's book
My Teacher, Dr. Huang Jinghua (1909~1993), joined Mr. Ye's Wudang Taiji School in 1926, and he met Grand Master Chengfu in 1928. In 1931, Dr. Huang became the Taiji partner of Uncle Yang Shouzhong. In 1932, he became the disciple of Chengfu, assisted Uncle Manqing to record “The Essence and Applications of Taijiquan”, and was in charge of proofreading the text. In 1933, Chengfu recommended Dr. Huang as a Taiji teacher in Daxia University. Since then, Dr. Huang taught Taiji in certain places, such as Fudan University, the Art College of Xinhuang, the Female High School of Bowu and the Hongqiao Sanatorium. After 1949, Dr. Huang retreated from the community of martial arts, and started to act as an educator. After Dr. Huang participated in the discussion of republishing “The Essence and Applications of Taijiquan” in 1957, he ceased having any more contact with most of his Taiji friends, and he stopped talking publically about anything concerning Taijiquan. Although I am the only disciple of Dr. Huang, I am short of talent, in poor physical health due to cancer, and do not have a great achievement in Taiji. I feel shame in falling so short of the teaching of Dr. Huang.
