Early time - “The Three Musketeers”

   In an age of 15, Winfield - a high school freshman, started a path he never dreamed to take on.    As a enthusiast of modern military, heavily equipped with US marine battle outfit, carrying a civil war commanding blade on his side, was a daily appearance of him, even when he went to school.   A popular & unpopular young man within and outside of school, a troublesome student that no teachers or principle knows how to handle.  Where ever he went, his Patton style yelling always reaches the place before his appearance, students usually run away when they first hear his voice, because god knows what’s gonna happen if this “Sherman Tank” ran them over.  No body would expect he would take a different interests into a hobby then later continue as half of his a career, neither did him. 

   Until one day, a boy started appeared in front of the school building every morning, waiting for this god feared little tank to show up.  Always hanging a smile on his face, watching Win got off his bike and went into the building, then that’s done for the day to this boy.  Then it continued for rest several weeks, such strange action eventual eat through Win’s psychological defense, and built up a slight fear in him.  So one morning, Win finally stopped, looking at this boy asking him what is he doing.  The boy put more smile on his face, asked Win whether he is interested in Medieval Knights, and told Win he has a friend who shares the same interests, so he wants to be friend with Win, and start the Medieval hobby together.  The boy is called Branden and his friend is called Hoff, later known as Diago in SCA China.  In this simple ending, this is how the three got together.

An Unexpected Start

   Soon the three wanted to start a Medieval interests group, and began to searching for the source of Knights Orders they can take reference from.  At last, they took the Knights of Hospitaller as their model, started their group and named themselves the “Hanover Hospitallers”, hoping to honor the chivalry and help the wounded or those in need as the Hospitaller always did.  
   The growth of the group went well, and members increased above 10 people after two month, but the leadership was soon changed.  Upon the agreement of the three at the beginning, Hoff was the leading person or the so called Grand Master of group, but managing the members became a difficulty to him, where most of the kids does not listen to Hoff when making the decisions or setting up practise, instead the “Sherman Tank” can make it easy for the kids to listen him and follow whatever as he said. Beside the joke, when upon making big decisions, Win can always provide good solutions, and convincing reasons for his ideas.
   After all, the kids believes Win is the person who can always think of what people cannot.  His genius ideas and his style of not following the rules or common sense can always bring people surprises, later played a huge role on his hobby, including how he got in touch with SCA and made it possible to happen inside China.  With such circumstance, Hoff decided to give the leadership into Win’s hand, and the decision was agreed with all but Win himself.  No one knew that this decision would brought a extreme change to the Historical interests circles inside China, and even internationally.

The “Oldest” of the Elders

   The circle of the Historical related hobbies in China around the 00s were barely existed.  People who took western european history openly as interested can be easily counted with both hands, and the numbers for those we later called Han traditions hobbiers were even more horrible to look at, their fashion did not get chance to promote until 2-3 years ago.  The most well-known way of have access to relevant historical sources in the small circle during that time was the Cold-Weapon TieBai --- an online discussion page, besides people posting questions and discussions, there was not yet a group form to focus on such interests.  Around the 2010, Win’s group was said to be the first Historical group that was formally show up within the historical circle, and present to the public as a organized interests group, despite the size of his group was small and not registered to the government, but their appearance was once really popular at the time, and their idea of a Knights Order styled group soon inspired many of those who were in the Cold-Weapon TieBai to imitate them.  
   later in China, there are still many controversial believes on what was described above, but more people would focus on whether such began had brought a good contribution to the Chinese cultural development?  While some people compliment the impressive ability a 15 years boy had, many more would blame Win for brought a bad start because what he had brought in was the trends the crusader Christian, feudal lords and knights chivalry traditions, which represents the western culture, not the traditional Chinese.  Their believes of Chinese historical revival should first started with Chinese own tradition, those who are agree with such believes also started to agree that Win’s trends was a direct cause to the delay of the revival of the HanFu trends in China, it no doubly brought huge pressure to Win and his unintentional action.  After 10 years, while majority people in China are chasing after the trends of the new rising up HanFu, many of them would still talk about that 15 year old kid when they were asked about how these whole thing was happened in China.

To the World

   Win’s effort on historical interest promotion came with a good result, besides influence fans in other part of China to build up their groups, his own group size also increased in a fast speed, before he reached out to SCA, his one group had increased into two, located in separate provinces with over a hundreds members, including the ones that has potential to become groups and supportive individuals from other part of the country.
   On July 28th 2014, with the introduction by Marshal Tanaka Raiko, Win first meet with SCA at the East Kingdom Novice Day in Morris town, New Jersey.  Where he was present as a special guest from China, received small ceremony with a warm welcome by King Brennan mac Fearghus and his court.  
   On January 5th 2015, Win was been presented the certificate by the President of HMBIA (The Battle of the Nations) Anton Trubnikov, to be the first representative and captain of Chinese Team, to leading and managing the Chinese team for the game.

The Original Middle Kingdom

   After his first meet with SCA in 2014, he was soon decided to participate SCA, and bring his two groups and follower along with him.  Win’s participation of SCA became a exciting news at that time, The Original Kingdom Come to Pennsic(https://www.pennsicindependent.com/China), a news article in 2015 by a SCA media Pennsic Independence described the moment of the excitement that many SCAdians had when they learned Win’s joining of SCA.

 With the further promote by Lady Cynthia du Pont, more and more SCAdians start to getting familiar with this new SCA family from another side of the world.  
 In the following years, more and more SCAdians took on their journey into this far away ‘Middle Kingdom’, start the adventure with meeting Win and his followers.

 Sir Myrdin the Just, a knight from West kingdom as well an old knight from the east, was the first SCAdian who visited Win’s groups in China, he was able to provide lectures on SCA knowledge and heavy combat during the frequent meetings in those few year, along with equipment to assist the SCA growing.  A respectful gentleman who did great contribution to early Chinese SCA development.
 Will Maker(Facebook name), the SCAdian who was providing lectures and supervision to Win’s group in ShenZhen,GuangDong Provience.  Unfortunately, passed away a year later due to heart problem.  A good man with good heart, he will be missed, and still remembered by Win and his followers.


 Among the many short stories, Duke Tim of Arindale, the former king of Aethelmearc, was another popular example of SCAdian visit China.


 His meeting with Win’s followers was a fascinate one, from his personal experience, he still can tell how much fun he had in this trip and how impressive he felt.  After came back to the States, he started the big decision, to arrange the donation to China, collecting them from kingdoms to kingdoms, as well appointed his household squire Seamus O Arindale as the SCA development adviser to Win’s council. 


Since then, the decision had brought Win’s groups ever closer with Aethelmearc, when the society was having hard time to decide should Win’s groups stay together with West Kingdom or with Lochac or by themselves, the group decide to make their own choice of stay with Aethelmearc.
