An Introduction to Mr. Yung
 
The Author and Teacher of Taichi and Chikung 

        Mr. Kuo-Pen Yung, also known as Albert Yung, was born in Shantung, China in 1926, moved to Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1949, and immigrated to the United States of America in 1993. Now he lives with his family in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. 
  
        Yung studied chemistry, worked as an engineer, researcher, teacher, worker and librarian; retired as an administrator of the R and D department of an ordnance organization.
 
        He studied Yang style short form taichi under Master Chu Hung-Pin since 1970, and learned Chen style Chaopao Huling form taichi from Master Wang Tsun-Jang since 1972. Both teachers are orthodox in style and outstanding in the taichi society, as is Yung’s inheritance. After a series of advanced training and academic research, eventually he graduated from the National Instructors’ Class of the Taichi Association of Republic of China in 1991. Yung holds a national grade taichi instructor’s license issued by The General Institution of Physical Exercise and Education of the Ministry of Education.
 
        Besides studying taichi, Yung is a life long learner and researcher of chikung. Based on various traditional Taoist, Buddhist and modern scientific forms, he designed a new kind of Universal Chikung, which is easier to learn, and can get higher attainment.
 
        Yung was a taichi teacher of the Kaohsiung Taichi Association since 1983, and a private chikung teacher in Taiwan since 1988. He has been teaching both taichi and chikung in the United States since 1994.
 
        He was a co-founder of Lung-Ho Chikung Association in 1987, and a co-founder of Kaohsiung Chikung Research Association in 1988.  He was also the initiator and a founding member of the Zhi Neng Qigong Association (Intelligence and Energy Chikung) in Kaohsiung.  Yung was an associate editor of the famous Tai Chi Chuan Journal since 1984, and was appointed the deputy chief editor of the journal after his retirement from managerial work in 1992.
 
        Seeing the world is in unceasing conflicts and sickness, people’s lack of reliable resources and happiness; in recent years, Yung has been devoting to promote the physical chikung into a spiritual chi-tao, in order to teach people how to eradicate war and vice, increase health and might, get real wealth and happiness.
 
        Mr. Yung says that he is not a heavenly figure, has no extraordinary power. We believe, at least, he is an experienced teacher, passionate preacher and distinguished scholar in the taichi and chikung fields. From "The Treatise" page, you can see the lists of some of his published papers. They are highly recognized by both experts and practitioners. Particularly, we think he is a foreseer and pioneer on Chi-Tao, a new scientific and spiritual guideline of life, intending to create a paradise on earth, and paving a way toward a super world.
 
        Yung also writes poems in Chinese and English, he calls them doggerels. A collection of his English poems Sorrow and Search was published in 2001 to raise support of his humanitarian work. Now the book is out of print and under revision for a new edition.
