Guo Yun Shen (originally called Guo Yu Sheng) is one of the more famous Xingyi figures in Chinese history. He was one of Li Lao Neng's top students, though at first Li would not teach him due to his violent nature. Li showed him Beng Quan but Guo stole the form and copied it. He did this for three years. Li was convinced of his dedication and began to teach him.

Most people know the story about Guo being sent to prison after killing a man with his famous punch. There he remained manacled for three years practicing Beng Quan over and over in his cell. When he got out of prison, his Beng Quan was so awesome he earned himself the nickname "Half Step Crushing Fist Strikes Everywhere Under Heaven." His skill was better than before he entered prison.

Guo went back to working as a bounty hunter. He was a bit of a ruffian. He still loved to fight and challenged anyone he could. At this point he had only studied the five fists. Since he never lost a fight, he thought anything else was a bother.

His teacher, Li Lao Neng, sent him to another of his top students, Che Yi Zhai, to teach him a lesson. Guo eagerly went and Chi easily defeated him, nearly taking him down with a Pi Quan to the head. Guo realized how foolish he was being and went back to Li to complete his training.

Guo's ferociousness gave way to the wisdom of age and he grew to be a great respected master of Xingyi. Some of his most famous students were Sun Lu Tang, creator of Sun style Taijiquan and Wang Xiang Zhai, creaor of Yiquan.
