^ True, that Gordon Liu avatar was like a lifebuoy for him which kept his head above the water, it didn't make him a good poster but he was passively fine while using that avatar. he's been sinking fast since he stopped using that Gordon Liu avatar and he'll soon hit the seabed again imho.
btw how could you tell the old man with white hair and beard was a kung fu master? I know he's a kung-fu maestro because I kind of grew up watching his movies and TV series (especially those derived from Louis Cha's novels, in which his characters were always monks, for some odd reason). Gandolph (in lord of the ring) is also an old man who has long white hair and beard but he's not at all a kung fu master imho.
