[shaolin_disciple_fei_hung]

I know, stupid question but...do u know how old is shi xing hao?

[Uwe]

He has to be approx. 33 or 34 in that range, because according to some of the history, he started training at the temple at age 14 in 1985.

PS: (IMHO) There are no stupid questions. It's only stupid not to ask and to assume things.

It only becomes a stupid question when you start asking for MY age.....

LOL

[shaolin_disciple_fei_hung]

So he become a monk and a master at 18?

you have to remember that chinese keep track of age differently than the rest of us. here's a quick summary....you are born age 1 and you get a year older every chinese new year. so if you were born in jan you are 1 then in feb at chinese new year you are already 2. this is how shi xing hao explained it to me, i could be mistaken. but my point is you can't just add up the numbers like we do. i beleive shi xing hao was born in 1973 or 74, which makes him about 30 years old.
