Zhong Li Chuan (Cheung Lai Chun 1889?-1964) was the modern secular founder of the White Eyebrow system. And Zhong Li Chuan's youngest son Zhong Ping Fa and Zhong Li Chuan's disciple Wu Nan Jing (Ng Nam King) both taught Dr. Wong until their deaths. In 1972, Wu Nan Jing authorized Dr. Wong to teach White Eyebrow, and in 1977, Zhong Ping Fa authorized Dr. Wong to propagate the White Eyebrow system in the United States.
