Hong Junsheng (Chinese: 洪均生), born in 1907, Henan Province (河南省), China, was a Chinese martial arts practitioner, teacher and author. Hong was the longest serving disciple for the Chen-style t'ai chi ch'uan (陈式太极拳) master Chen Fake (陈发科, 1887–1957). Starting in 1930, Hong trained uninterrupted with Chen for fifteen years.
In 1944, Hong moved to Jinan (济南), Shandong Province (山东省).
In 1956, he returned to Beijing to study again with his teacher, Chen Fake. In Jinan, Hong practiced and researched the meaning of Chen-style t'ai chi ch'uan and had many questions. This was a time for review and answering questions. Hong’s fundamental question was why the form and the applications did not match exactly. He further asked if he could modify his form to match the primary application Chen had taught him. Over the next six months, Chen and Hong worked daily to make sure there was not one useless move in the form.
Hong, later, expressed his own understanding of the ch'uan through his teachings and his writings.
His theories and training principles are now known as the Practical Method for Chen-style t'ai chi ch'uan (陈式太极实用拳法). Through the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution, Hong maintained his dedication to the enrichment of his art.
In the Era of Restructuring, Hong had trained a new generation of Chen Stylists and wrote several articles to illuminate the mysteries of Chen-style t'ai chi ch'uan.
As China opened up to the international community, Hong was rediscovered as an important linkage to this ancient Chinese martial arts tradition.
T'ai chi enthusiasts from all over the world would come to train with this remarkable man.
Fame and fortune did not change Hong. He remains steadfast to the ideals of the Tao.
Near the end of his life, old and in ill health, he would still maintain his daily t'ai chi training schedule and looked forward to doing Push hands with his students.
In 1996, aged 90 (according to the Chinese calendar), Hong died.
Hong is survived by his family, his dedicated disciples and the lasting legacy of his Practical Method.
