Native of Guangdong and born in Macau, Wu Zhaozhong (1887-1967) was a well-known boxer of the White Crane sect. From humble beginnings, Wu apprenticed under famous boxer Huang Linkai, before heading to Jiangxi to learn from White Crane sect's grandmaster Zhu Ziyao, returning to Macau ten years later. He set up a fighting school with Taichi master Gu Ruzhang in Guangzhou in the 20's teaching the White Crane method of fighting. Wu settled in Hong Kong in the 1930's and continued to promote the White Crane sect. As well as being known as a prominent fighter, Wu also became competent in the practice of Chinese medicine, establishing his practice in Hong Kong and acting as director general for the Hong Kong Association of Chinese Medicine Practitioners. Of noble character, Wu was proficient in calligraphy particularly cursive script, and was interested in poetry and literature, with publications regardly the philosophies behind boxing and sword fighting. Wu compiled books and published several treatises on the White Crane sect. These two works come from Wu's collection and are illustrative of Wu's fondness for Chinese art and culture.

吳肇鍾(1887-1967)，字唯龕，號白 鶴道人，出生於澳門，為廣東三水人，是著名拳師。吳氏自幼家境清貧，初投名拳師黃林開門下，後赴江西投拜白鶴派老拳師朱子堯為師，10年技成返澳。20年代初在廣州設館授徒，為白鶴派宗師，與當時太極拳名拳師顧汝章名齊於南粵。1930年到香港任教且設館授徒，將白鶴派武術發揚光大，門人遍及世界各地，聲名更顯。吳亦精於醫術，曾在香港中環設白鶴草堂吳肇鍾醫館，並歷任香港中醫師會理事長等職。吳氏生性豪邁，擅書法，尤擅行草，且對詩、詞、文學造詣甚深，除《拳經》、《劍說》外，吳氏亦著有《白鶴草堂文稿》、《白鶴草堂詩詞初集》等。是次兩幅藏品見證了吳氏藝壇生活點滴。
