Young Master, there is a Master Liao looking for you
This is....
I am the Master of the Liao's Fist
Just opened a dojo in Fuoshan
Congratulations
I heard that your Wing Chun fist is very good
That's why I came here today to get some pointers
Make it another day, okay?
Now is not the right time
Since I am here
and just sparring only, it won't take too much time
Let's close the doors and spar. Win or lose, nobody will know
It's not a matter of winning or losing, I am having my meals right now
Then, I'll wait for you
Master Liao, have you eaten?
Come, join us.
You smoke?
It's okay
How were the dishes tonight?
Good
That is good
Very quick
Uncle Wang, don't clean up the table. Just close the door first
Master Liao
Please
Are you okay?
I'm okay. I'm okay.
One more time
Then, here I come
Hit!
Hit! Hit!
All hits!
Hit!
Thank you for letting me win, Master Liao
Thank you for the lesson. I've learnt a lot Same here. Same here
Today's closed door sparring.... Master Ip
Don't worry, it'll never leak out
Thank you very much. I am taking my leave
Do be careful
I am not sending you off
Ip Man's "Heavenly King smashing the tower" One more time and using the "Four Taels to heave a thousand katis"
then threw Master Liao's to a thunderous grounding
Isn't that stroke used in Tai Chi Quan?
I heard that Mast Ip practices Wing Chun, right?
Whatever! Anyway, he just pushed him away with just one hand
Master Liao still did not concede defeat Later, Ip Man ferociously chased after him and beat him up
But Master Liao after being beaten is still not satisfied
and uses "Hungry Dog snatch faeces" to beat Ip Man!
This type of tea leaf is very nice. It's cheap
Do be careful Thank you
Goodbye. See you again the next time
Uncle Ping, who put this here?
It's your younger brother
Initially I thought Master Liao's kung fu is good but he didn't even have a chance to attack
Being beaten like a pig's head
He also has a share in our father's teahouse
Always loitering and fooling around
Ask that asshole to take care of the customers
Good morning
Brother Man
Is Brother Quan here?
He's waiting for you upstairs
Ah Quan, have you been waiting long?
You are always late
Busy!
Busy with what?
It's always the same. Eat, drink and kung fu
What's there to be busy about?
This tea is quite fragrant
I am saying you!
Let's order some food
I've something to discuss with you
Eat first, we'll talk later
Fresh from the oven. Come, try it!
I heard them say, you had a duel with Master Liao
and quickly defeated him Is that true?
Who told you, Crazy Lin
My younger brother
You should have told me earlier I've even asked him to be my sifu
You've ask every sifu in town to be your master
Brother Man, did you have a closed door duel?
We've something to discuss. Please go
Then, I will not disturb your discussion
Good morning Master
Good morning
Master Good morning
Good morning Master Good morning
Master, someone said you got beaten by Ip Man
Now, everyone in Fuoshan knows about it
Nonsense, who said it?
Sha Dan Yuan from the teahouse
The cost of things in Fuoshan have risen
So what about it?
That is to say, Fuoshan's economy is good
Everyone has expendable income
Really?
Think about it! Clothes, food, accommodation and travel. Clothes comes first
In future, the demand for cloth will be huge
That is why I want to set up a cotton factory so that I can supply it to the cloth factory
I want you to be my partner
I am not suitable for business
It's okay, I am suitable
I am not in need of money
Who is Sha Dan Yuan? Get the hell out here!
I am
You're the one talking nonsense and ruining my reputation? Sifu
I want to teach you a lesson today Sifu, Sifu
He's my younger brother. Let's talk calmly
Don't get angry, sifu
Your brother..
Your brother is talking nonsense and ruined my reputation
Said I lost to Ip Man in a fight
Tell me, how can I survive in Dojo Street?
How can I open my dojo and take in students?
Sifu! Apologize now!
I am not in the wrong. I was just stating facts
You're talking nonsense Sifu
Ip Man is upstairs. If you've got the balls, go find him!
What! Go!
Sifu, cool down, cool down
Sifu, Sifu, don't get angry. Sifu!
Master Ip, I've been wronged!
Sifu, Sifu
Please, tell everyone
that you had a duel with Master Liao and beat him
Master Ip, you must clear my name
Still telling lies!? And troubling Brother Man!
I did not lie
When I was retrieving my kite, I saw them fighting
What a coincidence that your kite broke loose and landed in Brother Man's garden
and what a coincidence that you saw Master Liao and Brother Man having a duel
and coincidentally, the whole scene was seen by you?!
There is just too many coincidences!
Yes, it's all coincidences
Even if it IS true, you can't go around telling everyone
There are some things which one can't admit
If it's true then one won't be afraid to admit it
If one admits one would lose face
Lose what face? How should I know?
This is called " Lose face"
Crazy Lin, no need to be like this
What are you laughing at! Don't treat me like I am not around!
Sir, it's just a small matter
What small matter?
Disperse...
Don't go!
Sir, a small matter
I've seen everything. Let me tell all of you
whoever creates trouble in my territory, not obeying the law
I will arrest them
I didn't come here to create trouble It's someone who ruined my reputation
I am here for justice
What justice? I am justice
You bunch of loafers, fighting everyday
What era is it now?
Still going for duels!
Let's duel with weapons. Gun! Gun!
Do you know?!
You also know, Inspector Lee
we, practitioners of martial arts have lots of energy and sometimes may be loud in our speech
But being loud in our speech does not mean that we have no manners
Technically, we are all cultured people No need to draw your gun for any small matter
Give me some face
Crazy Lin, take care of Insp. Lee. All on me
Good
Insp. Lee, this way please
What are you looking at? Quick scram
Don't look! All disperse
Insp. Lee, please
Master Liao
Take care
Why are you so secretive?
I am really not suitable to do business
Take it and open the factory. When you have profits, then you can pay me
I won't be able to repay you so quickly
Take your time to pay
Do me one more favor. Accept my son as your student
There are so many Masters in Dojo Street just ask - any of them will do
Those masters are not as good as you
About the same
Crazy Lin
Brother Quan
Brother Man, I've learned a new technique You'll help me to test it, alright?
You're so free! Have you found your younger brother yet?
Don't worry about him. Once his money is depleted, he'll come back
Let's try
Father, is Uncle Man willing?
You go and have a look first
Ah June, your drawings are so beautiful
Let's see what moves you've learnt this time
It has defense when attacking and in defense there is elements of attacking
when attacking there is defense and in defense there is attack
The words you say are all the same
You won't understand, kid. Go further away
This move is to attack the middle section. Very deadly
Don't just know how to say the words Most important thing is to get a hit
Mother, I've finished drawing
It's so good. Let Daddy have a look
Okay
Use attack as defense. Continued defense is attack
That's what I do What I did earlier on is constant defense
Daddy, have a look
Daddy is not free. Later...
Don't understand
Yes
One more time
Daddy won't look
You've already lost What?
This is called constant defense with attack
Master Ip, one more time. I didn't see clearly
See! See! See! What's there to see!?
Come here everyday and fight, fight fight! It's really frustrating!
Brother Man, what now?
Sister-in-law, I am sorry
Sister-in-law, I am leaving
I am not saying you
No, there are lots of things to do in the factory
Ah Yeow
Uncle Man, we are leaving
Okay, come again the next time
We're leaving
If you are not happy, you can tell me. No need to throw your temper
Okay. I am asking you now to look at the son's drawings
Show more concern and don't stay with your friends all day
Let's go in, okay?
Slowly
Brother
Where is Dojo Street?
Ah...
Dojo
Go straight ahead
One Two
Boss, there are so many dojos, which one shall we start at first?
One Two
One, retract
Brother! Teaching kung fu?
You guys came here to learn kung fu? Come in, let's talk
Who is the Dojo master?
I am the dojo master
I am Jin Shan Zhao
I've long admired Fuoshan as the town of martial arts. I came south especially
and would like to exchange pointers with Masters of Fuoshan.
Exchange pointers!
Correct
Then you are here to challenge!?
Yes
Okay
All of you stand to one side See how your sifu teaches this country bumpkin a lesson
Not that side. This side! This side!
Someone's here to challenge!
What is it?
Look and learn
Boss! Boss! You're terrific!
Where is your Master?
I am here!
You really want to kill me, huh!?
Sifu is not here
I wonder what happened to the weather in Fuoshan blowing cold and hot
Let me
What are you drawing, Ah June?
Ah June is not talking to you
If you are free, do keep him company
Okay
Crazy Lin, so early?
Sister-in-law, I am not here to fight. I Just have a few words to say and I'll leave
Hey, what is it?
There are a bunch of country bumpkins going around challenging all the dojos
Their kung fu is good Every dojo has lost
If you can, do go and have a look
Really that good?
Yes
Sister-in-law, I am leaving now
Hang on, Master Liao
We're all depending on you, Master Liao
Fucking bitch!
There is not one who can fight in Fuoshan
I thought everyone in Fuoshan is like Wong Fei Hung
but actually they are worms
All weaklings, can't even stand one blow
Brothers, we didn't come here for nothing
There is not one who can fight in Fuoshan
This time we're going to get rich
Brothers, we've got to keep working hard
Open a martial art school in Fuoshan and let them know how good we are
We have to be number one in Fuoshan
You, country bumpkins! beaten a few masters and you think you are so damn good
Beat the best, then we'll say
Who is the best in Fuoshan?
Of course it's Ip Man. Do you think it's me?
Let's go
Come! Come!
See how we are going to beat Ip Man
Daddy, there is a lot of people outside
Young Master, they....
You are Ip Man?
I am Jin Shan Zhao. I've heard that Fuoshan is the town of martial arts
I know, Master Jin, I know
You've brought so many people to tell me that you want to challenge me, right?
Of course!
We are opening a dojo in Fuoshan We have to show our ability to them
Opening a dojo, right? If you want to open a dojo, you don't have to fight with me
You just have to find a good location and that's it. Please leave.
Uncle Wang, bring Ah June in
Ip Man
Don't give any excuses Are you afraid and don't want to fight?
Fight! Fight! Fight! Do you think my house is a dojo?!
Do you think you can just come in and fight and kill? Get out!
You heard her. I won't fight with you
Please leave immediately
I heard that Wing Chun fist was developed by a woman
I think it's very suitable for you
Ip Man, you're really henpecked
There is not anyone that is afraid of their wives
but men who respect their wives
Mrs. Ip, don't worry. I won't kill him
If you are afraid that he would lose, I'll use one hand
If not, I will not use both hands
Master Ip, fight
Fuoshan has really disappointed me
There are so many martial arts practitioners but there are none
Shut up!
Don't break anything in the house
Give way! Give way! Give way!
Give way! Give way!
You bunch of....
You came at the right time. This is a small place
Please ask all the people to go out and please close the door on your way out
You must win back our reputation
Let them go out! Quick!
Faster! Faster! Out!
Out! Out!
Wing Chun, Ip Man
I'd really like to see
how a macho man uses a woman's martial arts
Good kung fu does not have sex or age differentiation
To see who is using it You will know immediately how it is fought
Please
I'll pay
Good
How is it? How is it?
Who is better?
I'll pay
Daddy, mummy says
if you won't attack, all the things in the house will be broken
Okay...
Little rascal!
Be careful what you say!
Boss
Boss, Boss!
Master Jin, are you alright?
I am okay
How is it, Master Jin? Do you think my kung fu is okay?
No need to say..
Today, the northern fist has lost to the southern fist
You're wrong. The problem lies not within Northern or Southern Fist It lies within you
Who lost and who won?
No need to ask. Look at his pig face you'll know that he has lost
Scram!
Sifu
Brother Man - Okay, good show Master Ip
You have saved the reputation of all the dojos in Fuoshan
It's luck. It's luck
I would say that you are the jewel of Kwangtung
Thank you
This has just been imported from overseas. Please, look around
Mr. Ip, this is your wife's flowers Thank you
Boss, how much is it?
No need for money, Master Ip
You've brought glory to the people of Fuoshan How can I take your money?
I can't not pay
You're doing business, right? Really, there's no need to pay, Master Ip
You're too kind Don't be
The next time Okay, the next time
Master Ip, have some fruits So kind
For the kids How could you...
Goodbye, Master Ip Thank you
Little friend, for you to play
Say, thanks
Thank you No need to
Thank you Take care
Master Ip, how are you?
Mrs. Su, how are you?
This is not bad
This is the best in our shop
If this could be in your house it would be my honor
You're kind
Why is it so crowded?
Uncle Man, Auntie
You are so sly
If you want to open a dojo Why didn't you inform me first?
When did I say I want to open a dojo?
The whole of Fuoshan knows about it
Everyone in Fuoshan knows, except me
Uncle Man, let me help you
Sifu Master
Fellow disciples
Looks like you're the one who spread the rumor
You've better fix this mess
Come, walk yourself
I don't care Ah Yeow must be your first student
There you go again. This is not the first day you've known me
I'll never accept any disciples
Quiet!
We must observe rules. Once we observe rules, it will be right!
Master Ip, Master Ip
7th July 1937 The Luogouqiao incident erupted. (The Marco Polo Incident) The Japanese launch a merciless attack on the people. The people of China were in turmoil and suffered hunger.
In October 1938, Fuoshan was sieged The Japanese destroyed factories, infrastructures and buildings
The 300 thousand population of Fuoshan is now left with just 70 thousand people.
Ip Man's house was taken over by the Japanese to use as headquarters Ip Man's family have nowhere to go. Life was very harsh...
Wing Seng, I am going out for awhile. I Will be back soon
Wait
It's cold outside. Wear one more layer
Ip June
Ip June, be careful. Don't hurt others
Master Ip, I gave you a bit more
Thank you very much
No need to rush
Next! You take this
Once you have taken it, leave immediately
One by one. Line up
This factory might be old but it's still not bad
Fuoshan is now in a mass of confusion
You had gone. Why come back?
If I didn't come back, where would the workers earn money to eat?
My money is all invested here
I still can't pay you now
No need If you hadn't said, I would have forgotten about it
This can't be. I'll treat it like you have invested here
It might be little but you still have 10% of the shares
Really, there's no need
Stay and help me. After all you have a share in it
Uncle Man
Kwong Yeow
You're here to help? That's great!
With you to lead us, everyone would be more energetic
and I can also watch you practice Wing Chun fist
Stay and have your meals here. The workers are about to have theirs
Yes, join us
No need
I still have things to do. Next time
I am leaving now
Father, why don't you ask Uncle Man to stay
I understand him all too well
Daddy, didn't you always practice martial arts?
Why don't you practice nowadays?
If daddy moves too much, daddy would get hungry
That's why I move less, okay?
Uh, I understand
Then I won't go out and play
You will only stop playing today. Quick, eat
Quick, eat
This porridge is a bit starchy
but somehow you have to eat something
Come
Careful, it's hot
How much rice is there in the house
Don't have to worry
All our valuables in the house have been pawned
Your husband has strength and energy I can go out and get a job
It won't kill me
You'll go out and work?
Of course I have no need to before
but now times are bad There is always a first time
We have more than enough people here Not hiring anymore
Boss, do you require any workers?
No. We've enough
Sorry to trouble you
Boss, employ me
You! You! You! Come up
Boss! Boss!
Master Ip, you're looking for a job?
Come Come
Thank you
Brother Man
Brother Man, the way you dress is not suitable for work
How did I know that I'd be digging for coal?!
Master Ip, how are you?
How are you?
Master Ip, how are you?
Why are there so many sifus here?
Right! The boss here used to practice martial arts
That's why he likes to employ those who know kung fu
Do you still practice kung fu?
If there is time, I must come out and look for work, right?
Go there and eat
Okay
Brother Man, I can't eat anymore Help me to eat some, okay?
Eat a little
How are sister-in-law and Ah June?
They're fine. Thanks
Have you found your younger brother?
I haven't seen him since the last time he left
I don't know if he is dead or alive
I didn't have a chance even to apologize
Have you lost something?
Yes, I've lost a steel box
What kind of steel box?
Japanese soldiers!
Japanese soldiers are coming!
Fellow workers, this is Colonel Chuodeng
The colonel admires Chinese kung fu
and also knows that Fuoshan is the town of martial arts
He would like to find those who know kung fu to spar with the Japanese
Is there anyone who is willing to go?
Sifu
You just want us to be their punch bags
Let me tell you, no way!
Idiot! If you win there is a bag of rice
Those who win the fight will be awarded a bag of rice
I'll go
Crazy Lin, don't look for trouble
I'll go
I'll go too
No, they have stolen our rice
now is our chance to take it back. It's only fair
Hey! Hey!
Forget it!
Help me find the steel box.
Hey!
It's alright. Come
Be careful
Come, come over and line up
Quick
Are there any more orders?
No. Let's go Yes
Sifu
General
Thank you, Sir
Okay, good show - Okay, good show
Knock them down
Let me go there and have a go
They are not your match, General Sanpo
Just treat it as showing them our Japanese martial arts
Find 3 men to fight with me
Even if they lose, they would still get a bag of rice
Yes
Don't say I didn't help you guys
I've arranged with General Sanpo to fight with the 3 of you
No matter win or lose, you'll still get a bag of rice
It's okay if there is no rice. Most important thing is, that we beat them up
Who will go first?
I'll go! I'll go!
Let go! Keep quiet!
Crazy Lin! You! You! 3 men
Ok
Hey, you're vomiting blood. Stop fighting
We've lost!
General, they've admit defeat
What nonsense! Do you really want to die?
You bastard!
Crazy Lin! How are you?!
Crazy Lin! Crazy Lin!
Are you tired today?
Just digging coal. It's not tiring.
I saw Crazy Lin today
Really? How is he now?
Still okay
I never thought I would meet him again
Master Li! Master Hung!
Have you seen Crazy Lin?
Crazy Lin? I've not seen him
Let's eat first
Yesterday, many people have won their rice General Sanpo is very satisfied
Is there anyone willing to go today?
Anyone want to go? Li Chian
Li Chian, where is Crazy Lin?
Anyone want to go?
I am asking you. Where is Crazy Lin?
I don't know
You don't know? You are the one who took him away
Anyone want to go? If you win, you get a bag of rice
I'll go
If Master Ip is going, I am going
I'll go
I would like to fight with the Japanese
Is there any more orders?
No. Quick, go
Thank you
Can I still fight with 3 more men?
He say, he wants to fight with 3 more men
I won't fight anymore
Why did they shoot?
Li Chian Why did they shoot!?
Who ask you to shoot?
I saw that he had lost and still had the cheek to take the rice
That is why I wanted to teach him a lesson
This place is for martial arts only
Don't ever fire your gun in here again
Understood. General Sanpo, please cool down
I will immediately arrange for the next fight
Continue
Anyone else still wants to fight?
I will fight
Li Chian, open the door
Master Open the door!
Please tell me. Is that how Crazy Lin died?
Open the door!
Master
Open the door!
Please open the door!
I want to challenge 10 men
You're crazy! Don't be like this!
I want to fight 10 men
He says he wants to fight 10 men
Ten?
Yes
I would also like to see that
Number 5 platoon!
1st group! Third group! Fifth group! Start!
Be careful
Stop!
Come again
He wants you to come again
I didn't come here for the rice
He says, he will come again
Hey!
What is your name?
He wants to know your name
I am only a Chinese man...
He is Ip Man
You have to be careful from now on I don't know what Sanpo will do
Traitor!
Why am I a traitor?
What have their deaths got to do with me?
I am only a translator, don't I need to eat?
I need to eat
Need to eat?
You saw your own country men being killed Do you not have any dignity?
I don't! You have! You have a lot!
If you are so capable, why don't you kill them all?
Kill 10! Kill 100! Kill 1000!
I am a translator, not a traitor!
I am a Chinese man!
I am back
Daddy
You're back
Are you a good boy?
Yes, I am
Ah June is a good boy
Are you tired today?
Let me go and wash my face first
You are very nice
I've discovered that I am really useless
I can't do anything
Before, I only knew how to practice martial arts
What can I do with it?
This world...
is really small
I am really useless
I don't care what the outside world is like
I only know that I am very happy right now
With you and me and Ah June
and if this family doesn't split up then there won't be any problems
The most important thing is that our family stay together
Get down!
Get down! Get down!
Stand at the side!
Stand one side! Stand one side!
Who's the boss? Come out!
I am
I've just robbed your goods Now I want to sell it back to you
Any objections?
I've no money
Don't hit my father
Wing Chun!
Fucking bitch! Wing Chun!
Don't hit him!
have you got the money?
I've No money
Any money?
I'll Beat you until you've got money
I couldn't sell my goods. I don't have any money
Uncle Man! Uncle Man!
Come quick, save my father He's going to be beaten to death soon
What is it, Kwong Yeow?
Auntie
I'll go and have a look. It's alright
Let me tell you. I am very reasonable
You don't have money now... Ok, I'll give you a little more time
I'll keep the goods first
Father, are you all right?
I am ok. Go and help Uncle Foo
Is there anything I can help?
I've always thought that your kung fu training is not practical
Now I know it's quite useful
If I had known, I would have learnt some from you for self-defense
At least I could block a few punches
Uncle Man, why don't you stay and teach us some kung fu?
Then we can protect ourselves and not be afraid of being bullied
Master Ip
Your kung fu is so great. Please teach us
Please, Master Ip. Please teach us
Teach us, please
Master Ip, please teach us
I am a businessman
Besides business, I know nothing else
I can't protect them but you can
Before, when it was peaceful, you said you don't want to teach
Now, everything is so bad Don't you think you need to do something?
I charge a high fee for teaching kung fu
The fees for the students will be paid by you. You owe me another amount now!
Uncle Man, I want to be your first student
Daddy, I want it a bit higher
Want a bit higher? Ok
Why didn't Ip Man come again?
I.... I don't know
Bring him here!
But I really don't know where he is
How can I find him?
Fuoshan is not that big. How hard is it to find him?
Fuoshan is really quite big
No!
I really don't know how to find him
You're....
such a useless bum Enough!
Bastard!
Stone, scissors, cloth
You all gang up against me
Hide properly!
10, 9, 8, 7 Ah June
6, 5, 4 Quickly, go and hide over there
3, 2, 1
Here I come! Who will I find first?
Master
Why are you here?
Sanpo wants you to go back and fight with him
Let' go
No way
What are you doing?
What do you want?
What are you doing?
Very pretty
Shit!
Let' go. It's not safe here
Let' go, Wing Seng
Li Chian
You're....so useless!
How is it possible that Ip Man escaped?
I'm sorry
Even Colonel Chuodeng was unable to stop him
It really is beyond my capabilities. I am sorry
so useless!
Stand down!
Dig Ip Man out
Yes
Sisters
Come
Brother, eat first
Master, how is he?
It's alright. They are fine
Master
Coming
Mrs. Ip
See if you can wear this
How is it? Are you guys comfortable here?
It's okay
That's fine then. When it's time to eat, I'll call
Li Chian
I am fine
I really don't know what to say
Thank you very much
It's okay
We have to leave Fuoshan as soon as possible
Qin Quan is finding a way out for us
Where to?
Hong Kong
Actually, anywhere is fine with me
I have some friends in Hong Kong
If there are any problems
What will happen to you?
You will be fine
Are you tired today?
They are here again. Quick, run
Have you prepared the money?
We won't give you the money
What did you say?
I am not afraid of you. We are not easily bullied
Rascal! Haven't got beaten enough, right!?
Fucking bitch! Whoever resists beat them up
Don't fight anymore
No wonder you guys dare to resist you've got somebody as your bodyguard
I came to Fuoshan to open a dojo and you people insult me
Today, you interfere in my business
Fucking bitch! You want to force me until I have nowhere to go?
No-one's forcing you until you have no way out
Ip Man, have you ever tried being hungry everyday?
Nowadays, no one has a full meal
On the first day when I came to Fuoshan, I said
I never want to go hungry again
I never want to suffer hunger again! Beat them up!
Fight!
Sha Dan Yuan, what are you waiting for? Go!
Go!
How do I fight him?
Let's go
Master, you're great
Sha Dan Yuan
Wait!
Do you know what you are doing?
I know! I am a thief!
You are robbing your own countrymen
Rather than being bullied, I'd rather bully others
I want others to be afraid of me
This is what your brother asked me to give you
Don't ever mention him to me again
Do you know that your brother is dead?
He was killed by the Japanese
Your brother had been looking for you all the while but was unable to find you
Whatever path a man takes, is their own choice
That bumpkin bastard told Sanpo that you are in the cotton factory
Please don't go back there
I am going. Please don't go back there. Remember!
Move quickly! Quick!
Where is Ip Man?
Where is Ip Man? Speak up!
Everyone, please don't say
You, come here
Where is Ip Man?
Speak up! Speak! Speak!
He's asking you
Hang on! I am thinking of a way..
Speak up! Speak! Speak!
I am here. Ip Man is here
Ip Man is here! Ip Man is here!
I am here
Li Chian
Wait! Please wait!
Wait!
Li Chian, tell Sanpo, it has nothing to do with the workers
Please tell him to let them go
I asked you not to come! Why did you?
Tell them!
Chuodeng!
He dares beat me up! Why can't I kill him?
I know what to do
Li Chian Yes
From the moment you resist the Japanese Army
You are already a dead man
But I saw that your skills are extraordinary, someone I could use
That is why I am giving you one more chance
to be loyal to the Japanese Imperial Army
Teach our Imperial Army Chinese kung fu
Then, you would have half the chance of surviving
He says he admires you wants you to teach the Japanese, Chinese kung fu
I won't teach the Japanese!
If you really like to see me fight
then I'll fight with you!
He says, he will really consider to be an instructor
He would also like to spar with General Sanpo
Bring him back
Take him away
Qin Quan, take my wife and child, and leave Fuoshan
General, do you really want to fight with Ip Man?
Of course! He is a highly skilled kung fu master
But, look at him
He doesn't want to be an instructor of the Imperial Army
He has other motives for wanting to fight with you
Please don't fight with him
Just let me put a bullet through him
He knows he is better. That's why he wants to fight with you
If I don't accept the challenge
and kill him
then what is the difference between my admitting defeat?
The General fighting with a Chinese man
is not just a personal concern but
It also the concern of Japan as well
Are you saying I will lose?
I am just being cautious
I will definitely win
I also want the whole of China to know
Yes, I know
I didn't kill you and I want you to be the instructor
This is because I admire your skill in kung fu
but I don't think that Chinese martial arts is better than Japanese martial arts
Because we will be fighting in front of all those people
That is why, this should be a fair fight
You occupied my country. Killed my countrymen
Take back your insults
Excuse me
Let go of my mother Let me go! Let me go back!
I've promised Ip Man. I won't let anything happen to either of you
Going back is too dangerous
I heard that a Japanese General is having a duel with a Chinese man
Who is it?
Ip Man!
Look at this place, it's all sealed up
I used to hope that he would accompany me everyday
That's why I reprimanded him and his martial arts practice
Every time he fought with someone I would show my temper
I've never really supported him in doing what he likes to do
Now, this may be his last fight
I am afraid there won't be a chance from now on
Why don't you give me that chance?
Why?
General Sanpo says, he wants to strengthen Sino-Japanese Cultural exchange
Today, with Master Ip here, will be a fair fight
An exchange of ideas. Friendship through martial arts
To realize Sino-Japanese peace
Fair fight!? Really sounds good, huh?
Look at that traitor's face! Sooner or later he will be killed by the Japanese
You're right!
Master Ip is coming
What did General Sanpo speak to you about? Did he talk about the fight?
I really don't care
Listen carefully! If you win the fight
I will kill you immediately with my gun
Remember!
Yes
Please, don't win the fight with Sanpo
If you win, he will kill you
Be careful for your life. That is most important
Martial arts may be a form of brute strength
but in our Chinese martial arts system it has many ideals and philosophies
Martial arts rules that also include compassion, to help others
This is what you Japanese will never never understand
because you use this strength
and change it into brutal power to terrorize others
That is why you are not fit to learn Chinese martial arts
Due to Ip Man's resistance to bow down to Japanese, the people of China finally began to unite
With the help of his good friend Qin Quan, Ip Man and his family finally escape from Fuoshan.
15th August 1945 The Japanese announced that they are surrendering unconditionally. The people of China have scored a victory, in the war that had lasted 8 years.
In 1949, Master Ip Man stayed in Hong Kong, and in Kowloon Restaurant Worker's Union he taught the first class of Wing Chun fist. Which started a new direction for Master Ip Man's life.
In 1967, Master Ip Man finally fulfilled his life long wish in his old age. He establish Wing Chun's Athletic Club. Uniting more people and helping to spread Wing Chun Fist
Wing Chun Fist, as of today, has spread all over the world and is one of the most well known kung fu styles. Ip Man's disciples are estimated to be well over 2 million.
There are many great disciples of Wing Chun. Among them was Martial Arts superstar Bruce Lee.
