If you are a disciple [of Classical Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan], then where is the 'Bai Shi' photo?

I have always wondered about this question, and I am strictly speaking only of Classical Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan [system], of course.

A 'Bai Shi' photo is indeed a proof that an individual has been become a lineage holder. But, it seems only one person has a 'Bai Shi' photo to prove the authencity of discipleship. A few have claimed that they are lineaged, but almost all of them cannot provide any evidence of 'Bai Shi' photo or any other credible documents, for one reason or other.

Allegedly, Great grandmaster Yeung Ching-Po (Yang Cheng-Fu) supposedly had five disciples, but not a single 'Bai Shi' photo exist among those five alleged disciples of the fourth generation practitioners.

Among the three disciples of Grandmaster Yeung Sau-Chung, only Master Chu Gin Soon has his 'Bai Shi' photo available to the public, plus there exist the private photos of the 'Bai Shi' ceremony dinner as well. The first alleged disciple claimed that his was burned as a funeral offering, thus no 'Bai Shi' photo. Whether there are private photos of 'Bai Shi' ceremony dinner exist or not, it is anyone's guess. Usually, these photos become heirlooms for his disciples, but neither of his two disciples have any of the photos. If they have them, they would already have shown them to the public. However, in Grandmaster Yeung Sau-Chung's book, 'Practical Use Of Tai Chi Chuan', Grandmaster Yeung confirms the first disciple's status. The third alleged disciple has ignored the requests all together even though many of his former students have been demanding the proof of his discipleship.

As for the sixth generation disciples, all of them have a plenty of 'Bai Shi' photos available for the public.

Thus, out of eight disciples of the previous generations, only one has managed to provide any solid photo proof of the discipleship.
