| What is the origin of the Loong Kong Association? The legend of the Four Families dates back nearly two thousand years to the period of the Three Kingdoms (220-280 A.D.). During this period of feudal times among emperors and warlords, three patriots (Lew Pei, Quan Yu, and Chung Fei) met in a peach garden of the latter's mansion and vowed to join their families as brothers, not on the basis of blood relationship but for the good of their people. Later, the trio joined another patriot, Chew Yuen, and finalized the fraternity of the Four Families. For over 1800 years the vows taken by the brothers have remained unbroken, and the good deeds, loyalty and compatriotism of the Four Families have become a part of Chinese historic legend. Today, the Loong Kong fraternity is worldwide, with 146 chapters in five continents representing an active membership of over 3 million people. Read more about the history of Loong Kong in the Pan America Lung Kong webpage. What is the difference between "Lung Kong" and "Loong Kong"? Loong Kong" Association refers to the local San Francisco chapter of Lung Kong (LK), located at 924 Grant Avenue in San Francisco's Chinatown. "Loong Kong" in turn is part of a worldwide network of associations collectively known as "Lung Kong" Association that also has an Oakland and Stockton chapter in the Bay Area, and also a Los Angeles location, eventually extending nationwide to New York City, and worldwide to Hong Kong. |
