Kwan Yu was destined for greatness. His first action that brought him notice was when he came to the rescue of one of his neighbors, who had been victimized by government officials who were, at that time, very corrupt.

Kwan Yu was  very large and powerful and having a distinct, red face. As the word of his action against the government spread, his people began to consider him a local hero. His quest was to uphold justice as well as create peace. He gained a threatening reputation among the government officials who searched for him ceaselessly as their hatred for him grew.

The Emperor did not miss note of the deeds of Kwan, much to the upset of the angry government officials. The Emperor was an honorable man and called upon Kwan to help him destroy the government and the army. Kwan was very successful in the removal of the issues faced by the Emperor, and Kwan was then appointed the position of General.

General Kwan led the Emperor’s Army, known for his strength, and for his military genius. He always stood up for justice and displayed honorable mercy to those who were defenseless opponents. He was known for his wisdom, his honesty and his compassion.

General Kwan is a true legend. He is recognized today as the Patron God of Chinese Martial Arts. Paintings, statues and other likenesses of General Kwan can be found in almost every traditional Shaolin kung fu school. Many government offices, businesses, police stations and post offices also display images of General Kwan, for his symbolic representation of righteousness, loyalty, humbleness and justice.
