Father's name is, engaged in silk business, married Li, and gave birth to two sons, the first one is Xiaoyu, and the second one is Meiyu (both of them studied under the Zen master); Later, Fang had to continue to marry Miao Cuihua, Miao Xian's daughter, at the age of 60. After Miao Xian burned down the South Shaolin Temple in Fujian, he remained anonymous and made a living by selling salt. Miao Cuihua gave birth to Fang Shiyu.

According to historical records, Fang Shiyu was strong-willed, wandering in the countryside since he was a child, and liked to fight with other children. As a teenager, Fang Shiyu was sent to Shaolin School by his father Fang De. Although he is short and fat, he is brave to fight. Every time he fought, he charged ahead. Both brothers were inevitably injured in the fight, but only Fang Shiyu was safe and sound.

In the ranking of Shaolin Ten Tigers, Hong Xiguan ranks first and Fang Shiyu ranks second, not only because of his martial arts, but also because of his aggressive nature.

When Fang Shiyu 14 years old, he went to Hangzhou to do business with his father. On the way, he saw Lei Laohu in a circle, with couplets on both sides that read "Punch Guangdong and kick Suzhou and Hangzhou". Fang Shiyu was furious and went on stage to kill Lei Laohu. Lei Laohu is the son-in-law of Wu Tangmen Li Bashan, and Li Bashan is the bodyguard of Chen Wenyao, a great scholar in Wenyuange. Lei Laohu relies on the situation everywhere. Fang Shiyu killed Lei Laohu, which led to a fierce struggle between Shaolin School and Wu Tang School.

After Fang Shiyu killed Lei Laohu, he informed his father, and the father and son fled back to Guangzhou overnight, and called members of Shaolin Sect to discuss countermeasures. Lei Laohu's wife, Li Xiaohuan, led Wu Tangmen's disciples to Guangdong and vowed to avenge Lei Laohu. At that time, the Shaolin Sect was already ready, headed by the "Shaolin Ten Tigers" to divide the territory around Guangzhou. Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu openly accepted disciples in Guangzhou (now near Haizhu Square) to fight the Wu Tang Sect.

Hu, who was originally in mourning in his hometown, returned to Guangzhou from his hometown overnight after hearing the news, erected the banner of revenge for his father, fought with the troops in Xiguan computer room, killed Wu Tangmen's disciple Feng Moral, and occupied Xichan Temple with Sande monks. The news shocked the whole Wu Tangmen. For the sake of Xichan Temple, people from Wutangmen gathered in Guangzhou and launched the first large-scale gang war with Shaolin Sect in the history of Guangdong gangs, which caused a big fight.

Li Xiaohuan's father, Li Bashan, was the master of Wu Tangzong and the bodyguard of Chen Wenyao, a scholar of Wenyuange in Qing Dynasty. In the name of the government, he gathered thousands of Qing soldiers to March into Guangzhou. In name, he suppressed the gang's conflagration, but in fact, he assisted the Wu Tang gang in attacking Shaolin.

1763 (in the 28th year of Qianlong), the monk Hu and Sande died in Xichan Temple, and Tong Qianjin was also killed by Wu Tangmen in the subsequent firefight. After this battle, the backbone of the Shaolin School was almost exhausted, and Fang Shiyu died at the age of 24.
