Gao Yunfeng (1906–1976) married Mr. Guo Canru in 1926. In 1930, Mr. Guo was tragically struck by a severe illness. Resolutely defying the Guo family’s ancestral precept—that the art be passed down only to male heirs and within the family—Gao Yunfeng courageously transmitted the PingLe Guo School of Orthopedic Manipulation to his wife, thereby forging a legendary life for her and, at the same time, reshaping the destiny of the PingLe Guo School of Orthopedic Manipulation.
