[edit] Early life

According to legend, starting immediately after his birth, Miu Tsui-fa would intentionally break every bone and limb in Sai-yuk's body and then bathe him in the Chinese herbal liniment Dit Da Jow, making him practically invulnerable. This treatment gave Sai-yuk's body the quality known as "copper skin, metal bone". (cf. Achilles).

While he was still in his early teens, he accepted an open challenge from Tiger Lui and killed him.[citation needed]

According to legend, Fong Sai-yuk was killed by Bak Mei (white eyebrow), the notorious kung fu warrior in a battle embedded with revenge.
