Wing Chun Martial Arts School.
Mr. Ip.
Master Chan.
Please come in OK.
Finish the lesson for me.
Yes, Master.
How are you, Mr. Ip?
Girl's stuff, no substance.
Watch your mouth, Man!
Master Ng Mui created this Wing Chun fist style,
the secret is the control of power with flexibility.
It's my honour and pleasure to see this fine class of disciples you have, Master Chan.
Mr. Ip, I've heard that you're travelling between Hong Kong and Foshan.
Business must be doing well,
then. Oh, before I forget, I must pay you the rent.
No hurry, no hurry. We're good friends!
You rent Mulberry Garden to me at such a low rent;
I have not yet found an opportunity to express my thanks to you.
Seriously, it won't be hard to pay back the favor, if you wish.
Man!
Yes, Dad!
This is my youngest son,
Ip Man, my own flesh and blood.
Tin Chi!
Dad!
This is my adopted son who has been with us for a year now,
Tin Chi.
The purpose of my trip here today is to get them a superb master.
A master?
Yes! They both have a passion for Kung Fu.
Please accept this tea to show my commitment, Master.
Please accept the tea, Master.
As members of our school, you two must observe the guiding principles.
Martial arts learning - genuine and authentic;
Behavior - proper and discrete; Judgment - objective and rational.
Understood, Master.
Didn't you say that you love Kung Fu, Man?
Many other disciples will keep you company.
I have to go to Hong Kong on business.
Dad, take good care of yourself!
Make sure you look after your little brother, Tin Chi.
Dad, I will, I promise.
Dad!
Time to take the medicine, Master.
Leave it there!
Remember!
All hand movements are clearly directed by the intention in mind;
If your intention is justified, you're on the right track.
Master, the medicine is getting cold.
You have shown improvement.
Remember!
The noble mind commands authentic style-movements,
which allow stability when you defend, and invincibility when you attack.
The essence of Wing Chun is to follow one's shadow, not his hand.
Focus on what you feel rather than what you see. Understand'?
Yes, Master.
Maintain world peace;
Establish the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere.
You are the hope of our Empire,
Japan's future rests with you.
Dad...
Tin Chi, wake up! Are you having a bad dream?
What... were... you saying?
Are you hungry'? In fact, I'm hungry, too.
There's nothing to eat at all.
Look! Two huge rats coming out to find something to eat!
You'll be dead if the master finds out.
Not him, it's me
it's... me... not him.
Hush! Since you gave me a toffee,
I'll help you out!
This is for you.
Why do fried double-sticks only come in pairs?
How nice if there were three pieces.
Drink this one, Master.
This bowl is freshly made.
You're so busy.
The medicine won't be as effective if it's reheated.
Chung So, you are dedicated and dutiful,
I'll be happy to see you inherit this school.
Man is gifted in martial arts.
Give him the best after I'm gone.
Yes!
Go watch them!
Master! Master!
Stay away, stay clear.
Have a smooth voyage,
Master! Give us your blessing.
Our beloved Master... Strolled slowly and smoothly to the underworld...
The sun is setting, clear of obstruction and ill luck.
Lower the casket... raise the casket.
Lower the casket.
This is my promise and my oath to Master Wah Shun: I, Chung So,
will exert all energy, with all my might,
to make authentic Wing Chun prosper for as long as I live
1, 2, 3, 4, palms up, strike, withdraw, reach out, strike
1, 2, 3, 4, palms up, strike
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
Withdraw.
All right! That's it for the day.
Go home.
Tin Chi, you were quite good today.
Take a rest, Man!
Hey! Listen to Brother Chung So. Let's eat!
Mei Wai, let me help you set the table.
Good!
Rest! Dinner's ready.
All right!
Spend the Lantern Festival with sweets.
Enjoy sweet dumplings together.
Tin Chi, how lucky we are!
A leather-silhouette puppet show has opened across the street.
Bringing us such good business.
It's not luck,
this was carefully planned.
You're wonderful!
Ip Man, this was specially saved for you
I've had six bowls already, I'm so full.
Why are you still eating, then?
Go take a walk to help your digestion.
Tin Chi, business is quite good;
I want to take time off to look around.
Fine!
Lantern Festival, see if I'll have some... romantic luck.
Alright, I'll stay,
you fellows have a good time.
Alright Alright.
Come on, let's go!
Wait for me!
Mei Wai, you can't just go.
Who will cook the dumplings?
I'll go with you when they return.
No, thanks.
Look! Foreigners can play Chinese chess
Chinese can play foreigners' games, too!
If foreigners are capable of learning Chinese culture,
we can take up Western culture, too.
Let's go over there!
Let's go.
See you later.
You surely know what good stuff is.
This is the biggest invention of this century: The gramophone.
It can contain your most beautiful voice.
Amazing! Even voices can be captured now.
This is an English folk song.
The story is that King Henry VIII
wrote it for a girl who rejected his love.
Really? That's amazing! The girl had character.
Oh my God!
You scratched my record.
How am I going to sell it'?
I didn't mean it...
Well... I'll pay you for it.
This is very expensive.
Do you have the money?
All right, boss, I'll buy it from you.
When the record is scratched, the song won't play smoothly.
Didn't I say I'd pay for it'? Is this enough?
May I know your name, please, Miss?
I'll pay you back.
Don't worry about it.
Thank you.
Sister!
We don't have a gramophone at home. What did you buy the record for'?
I wasn't buying a record, I was buying a feeling.
You hit my head with that thing. Pay!
Sorry, Sir! I don't have the money
I don't care.
You've got to pay me 50 silver dollars.
Where will I find 50 silver dollars'?
No money, eh'?
Sister!
What are you getting at'? Tricking people'?
What'? Get back!
Get up
I clearly saw what happened.
The bamboo spinner fell on the ground, it didn't hit you at all.
How dare you meddle with me!
I'm warning you,
if you don't stop right now, I'll alert the police.
You need a beating!
No, she doesn't.
You bums do!
Strike!
To hell with you!
Sister!
Hold it!
Please spare my life!
I'll never do this again, never!
Go!
Thanks for such great help. It's much appreciated.
Your act of chivalry is greatly admired.
Could you leave your name'?
Don't worry about it.
Miss, he's Ip Man, and I'm Siu Shan
I'm Yiu Choi.
We are from the Wing Chun School.
You may call us the Three Wing Chun Musketeers.
Don't forget your record, sis.
Why bother with other people's business. Are you hurt?
No, let's go!
Move!
Can I help you?
I'm looking for Ip Man.
Ip Man?
He's out.
If you have something for him, you can leave it with me.
No!
I was told to deliver this letter in person.
It's up to you. You can wait if you want.
You can also feed the huge mosquitoes.
Huge mosquitoes? Wait!
All right!
You must give this letter to Ip Man. Thank you!
All right!
Thank you
Uncle Ip! Mei Wai!
Please go in, Ip Man's home.
Dad! Dad!
What have you brought back?
It's Sis' new toy.
Be careful! It's very heavy!
What's taking him so long to reply'?
Hasn't he?
Honestly, did you deliver it in person?
I did!
Are you sure? Absolutely!
Keep this medicine with you,
it's good for headache, fever, diarrhea, everything
I appreciate it.
You'll be on your own studying in Hong Kong, Man!
Take good care of yourself.
Yes!
So long, Brother Chung So.
Remember not to waste any time in Hong Kong.
Neglect neither your studies nor your martial arts training;
Do not forget our Master's advice.
Don't get involved in fights, don't think you're better than others.
Martial arts learning - genuine and authentic;
Behavior - proper and discrete; Judgment - objective and rational.
Don't worry!
Good morning Good morning.
Good Morning, Reverend Good morning.
Good Morning, Reverend.
Good morning, class.
Practice more at home, understand'?
Is Ip Man at home, please?
He's gone to Hong Kong.
May I know who's asking for him, please?
It's nothing important. Thank you.
Good morning, Brother Chung So.
Let's eat fried sticks.
These fried sticks look very interesting.
You are all big eaters, double sticks aren't enough to feed you.
So I made them triple.
Let's eat!
Why are you people so unhygienic?
You want to know why? Come on!
Do you know now'?
Let me help you.
Don't bother!
There you are! How nice!
Chairman Lee Godfather.
Thanks for looking after me, Mei Wai.
Here's a present for you.
How beautiful! Thank you.
Tin Chi, you have given tremendous help ever since
you joined the Jing Wu Athletic Association.
Don't mention it.
Anyway, I have a present for you, too.
Thank you, Chairman Lee.
These were selected
from my jade collection.
They seem like a pair.
Definitely, a pair, like you two
I've never seen Chinese pigs playing hockey before.
It's so funny!
Hey, you! Mind your language.
My language? It's none of your business
I heard you say Chinese pigs.
Oh, no, no! I'm sorry, I didn't mean Chinese pigs
I meant... Sick Man of East Asia!
Come on, then!
I'll give you three minutes.
No, two minutes.
No, one minute.
Good!
Just 45 seconds!
Take a seat.
Relax.
It's OK.
Your Kung Fu is formidable.
We call it Wing Chun.
What's your friend's name'? He's wonderful.
His name is...
Good morning, Ip Man! Morning.
Master Ip, morning.
Say “Good morning” to him!
Morning! Have I met them before'?
Good morning, Ip Man.
Not this one, I'm sure.
Boss!
I'm not the boss here, I'm the manager.
How can I help?
I need some medicine for a friend.
What else would you buy in a drug store, kid.
Which is better to treat bruises, powder or ointment?
What? He's injured'? What happened'?
A fight? What else?
Who beat him?
I did
I thought he was your friend.
That's how we became friends.
Why did you beat him?
Boss, why don't you...
Why don't you bring him here?
Here to receive treatment?
Treatment? Bring him here so I can beat him, too.
Make sure he won't call us 'Chinese pigs' again.
Where did you learn about that'?
From your friends.
You and your name are known to everybody on this street now, Ip Man.
You're popular kid. So, you're studying Wing Chun?
Authentic Wing Chun.
The name was inherited from the school taught by Master Leung Jan from Foshan.
So you must be one of Chin's.
(Nickname of Chan Wah Shun) disciples.
Correct!
Authentic my foot.
So much so that you made me believe you learned directly from Master Ng Mui.
How long have you studied it'?
Finished the lower body strength training yet'?
What about 'targeted finger'?
You're in Wing Chun, too, boss?
First, I told you I'm not the boss;
I'm the manager here.
Second, I am practicing Wing Chun,
but don't know if it's considered authentic.
Do you want to try it out'?
Next time
I might be too busy next time.
If you want to try me, try me now.
Better not, if there is any injury...
Are you looking down on old folks like me'? Come on!
Mr Manager!
Hasn' t your master taught you that when practicing with the others,
you reserve only the strength applied, not the skill?
What, despise me?
I mean business then.
Are you alright, kid'?
I'm fine.
Well, again!
Watch my medicine!
Be careful with the Three-Prick Wine.
Wait! You call this Wing Chun?
Whatever comes from my fist is Wing Chun.
They are not Wing Chun.
My Master said Wing Chun strategic movements are 70% from the hands,
30% from the legs, and focus on attacking an opponent's lower body.
Your master wasn't wrong.
The traditional focus is on the use of the hands.
But that doesn't mean it forbids changes.
Changes allow more flexibility.
Movements can be adapted in multiple ways,
such as leg movements in a form of wrestling, and they all work.
May I know your name, please?
I'm Leung Bik from Foshan.
People call me Sir Bik.
Master Leung Jan was my father.
You're my senior!
So is my Wing Chun authentic?
You're funny.
Come back the day after tomorrow, kid.
Come here the day after tomorrow'?
Don't you want lessons'?
Of course I do.
But I can't afford to pay you.
Did I ask you to pay?
Customs inspection. Open the crates, officers!
Hold it!
Inspection is not authorized.
The medicine was purchased from the Japanese Chamber of.
Commerce by the British Embassy.
Mr. Kitano said you can't open this as it was purchased
from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce by the British Embassy
I don't understand English.
How dare a low-ranking customs officer
display public contempt for the Japanese business bureau.
Should any damage be incurred, who will be held responsible?
How dare a low-ranking customs officer
like you display public contempt for the Japanese business bureau.
Should any damage be incurred, who will be held responsible?
If smuggling is going on, who will be held responsible, then'?
Officers, open the crates!
Mr. Kitano said you can't open this.
Stop!
What do you think you're doing'?
Do you know who this gentleman is?
Do you know how much Mr. Kitano
donates to Foshan every year?
My apologies! Mr. Kitano.
You may take the goods.
What're you standing here for'? Clear the way!
Of course I welcome donations.
But if they are from the Japanese, I will definitely decline.
Why did you make such a comment, Chairman?
Japan's evil intentions became apparent after the Russo-Japanese War,
they annexed our territory...
and built the Manchurian Railway, aiming at economic invasion.
Look at what they did in the North-East, their ambitions are obvious
I think I understand how the Chairman feels.
But the thing is, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Foshan
did not participate in the North-Eastern affair.
Mr. Kitano came here only to do business,
not much different from other foreign investors.
So I think we should treat
his donation the same way as others
I don't believe the Japanese
would make a donation without a personal agenda.
Well... after he's done business for so long in Foshan,
this could probably be his gesture of retuning a favor.
Don't be suspicious.
You're in business, too, Tin Chi.
Why don't you tell us what you think, as a newcomer?
I tend to agree with what Chairman Lee suggested.
After all,
our Association is on very sound financial ground,
and is not urgently in need of donations.
Tin Chi, I'm going back to the school.
See you later.
Try to talk Chairman Lee out of being so stubborn, Tin Chi.
Mr. Mayor, we are all educated people.
Why should we allow the uneducated
to upset us?
You are right.
Good bye Take care.
Bye.
The improved version of Wing Chun
is the good use of 'distant fist, near elbow,
close wrestling, incorporating long and short distance movements'
Wing Chun wrestling uses the reverse joint principle;
No need to hold on to your opponent.
Your Master concentrated
on the long stretch and low kick.
My improved version of Wing Chun
incorporates the short stretch and high kick.
Wing Chun should not be
described as 'authentic' or 'non-authentic' any more.
To me, Wing Chun is one big family,
there is no distinction between you, me, and him.
Goodbye, Man Ip.
Our surname goes first, Reverend.
Ip Man, all the best.
Same to you, goodbye.
Good bye.
Let's go.
Bye! Bye!
Goodbye! Bye!
Thank you Thank you.
You should have told me you were coming back, Ip Man
Mei Wai.
Ip Man's back, everybody!
You brought back so many things.
Only this one is mine,
the rest are presents for you all.
We know Ip Man is good to us! OK.
This is for you.
For me'?
How am I supposed to finish all these toffees.
Don't eat them all, some are for my brother to sell.
Man!
Tin Chi's back!
Brother!
There you are!
Yes!
Long time no see.
You're still stout. Keeping up with martial arts practice?
Do you want to try me?
Sure!
Give it to me.
One point for Man.
Great! Another point for you, Man!
What style is this?
Wing Chun!
The high kick doesn't exist in Wing Chun,
where did you pick that up'?
Try me more first OK.
Good! One point for Tin Chi.
Excellent! Good!
Don't tell me this is Wing Chun, Man?
This is fantastic. Show me, Ip Man.
It's wonderful! Teach me, too.
Me, too.
Me first!
One at a time
Mei Wai, watch out!
Is this necessary, Man'?
I'm all right. Take it easy next time.
Take a rest, Mei Wai.
Let's learn it together.
To reward your enthusiasm. Come on!
Alright?
Amazing!
This focuses on the reverse joint principle.
It's a different approach like Japanese Judo,
there's no need to hold on to your opponent.
It's amazing! I want to learn, too.
Me, too Count me in.
Brother Chung So.
Let me help you.
Such a fat chicken, let me take care of it.
Remember what Master Chan said to you, Man'?
Time to go home.
Let's go!
I ask you.
Whose style is authentic,
our Master Chan's or Leung Bik's'?
Leung Bik?
Brother Chung So,
Mr Leung and our Master are from the same school;
His style shouldn't be considered deviant from authenticity.
Also, Leung Bik is Grand Master Leung Jan's son;
He practiced with him since he was a child.
But he never got along with the Grand Master,
nor with his brothers. Leung Bik is conceited.
Perhaps... he held different views.
Despite a difference in views,
he shouldn't have created tension in the family
I remember after the Grand Master passed away,
Bik's brother immediately put up a wall...
to partition the two families;
You can see how badly he was received by the others.
He's a bit strange,
but we can't assume that his art is not competent.
People often thought that Wing Chun seldom uses wrestling moves.
But he believes that by applying the targeted finger style
or darting hand movements, opponents can be overpowered
I've tried it and it's very effective.
Comparing Bik's with the traditional moves, his allow more flexibility.
Let me tell you, the Wing Chun Leung Bik has learned...
only accounts for a fraction of his father's.
Most of his movements are made up.
How can one improve without deconstructing the old?
You are greedy to aspire for more before
you can manage the basic Wing Chun principles.
You'll end up gaining nothing.
I'm fed up. Enjoy your meal.
Don't get upset, Brother Chung So.
Man just got back, give him a chance!
Fine! He has his chance now.
Show me the sort of deviance you've picked up.
Get up, up!
Brother Chung So! Brother Chung So!
Ip Man.
Brother Chung So! Stay away!
What happened to the things Leung Bik taught you?
Brother Chung So! Man!
Ip man should be feeling sorry by now.
Brother Chung So, that's enough!
Was it Wing Chun that he just demonstrated?
Does our school have high kick like that?
Or elbow as low as his?
Now, I demand you all go on your knees in front of our master and vow that...
you will never again learn anything that deviates from our school tradition.
They have nothing to do with this,
Brother Chung So.
It was me who wanted to try things out.
They never said they wanted to learn it from me.
I'm the only one who deserves punishment for this
I have taught you all I know, Man.
Thank you, Master!
Stop calling me master.
Why?
Your master is Chan Wah Shun; You have to show due respect.
When I was young,
I was too emotional to try to think from another's perspective.
And my family was too conservative
to accept my innovative ideas,
thus causing a lot of misunderstanding and friction.
In order to avoid conflict,
I decided to leave Foshan.
Ip Man is gifted, but he's such an ungrateful brat.
Do you think I should expel him?
Please give me instruction, Master.
If you think I should,
please show 'the head' when I toss the coin.
Master, Ip Man is young and restless;
He's doomed to make some mistakes.
And... perhaps it's not entirely his fault.
I might not be competent enough as an instructor.
Why don't we do it three times to decide on the result?
Thanks, Master.
Thanks, Master, thanks a great deal.
You are...
We heard that your Association has a reputation for the vision of
promoting martial arts on the grounds of abolishing segregation of schools.
So we're here to join the Association
I'm glad that you share the same vision.
How may I address you?
Before we enroll,
I'd like to see whether the Association is qualified to teach us
I don't quite understand what you mean.
You need to show a sample when you sell goods.
So we'd like to check out how competent the masters are first.
This is not how our Association operates.
Don't make things difficult.
All right, then.
If you don't want to demonstrate, we'll be happy to take over.
You just came to create trouble.
Hold it!
Wait a minute!
Father.
Chairman Kitano,
what do you want from us?
Not much, I only want to say hello
I don't think so, it's more like picking a fight.
This is a place to learn martial arts;
I don't see why not!
Chairman Lee, allow me.
Good! Good fight!
Stop! What are you doing?
Good! Good show!
Sorry that my daughter isn't as capable.
Valour is better demonstrated by the young!
Come and have a snack, Ip Man.
Yours.
Triple fried sticks.
Yes! My creation.
Three-sided. How can one person finish it'?
It's for all three of us. We each have one.
You two have the crispy sides, the middle part is not as crunchy.
The triple stick is what you wanted when you were a kid
I didn't say that.
You really don't remember, eh'?
It seemed that I had a sense of humour when I was a kid.
Too bad you have none left.
I won't eat any more
Mei Wai...
What have I said wrong?
No! Let's eat.
Oh yes! I forgot to congratulate you.
On what?
On your successful career in business, young and hopeful.
What's more, Chairman Lee will recommend you for Vice Chairman,
a bright future lies ahead of you.
Stop teasing me. I owe this to Brother Chung So's leadership.
What's your plan after graduation?
I won't keep it from you, but don't laugh at me, alright?
I'd like to start a martial arts school to promote Wing Chun.
What a wonderful idea! If you start in Foshan,
I'll come up with the capital for you.
Not just in Foshan, I want it all over the world
I want to show the world how wonderful Wing Chun is.
The world? Great!
Congratulations to you,
Guru of Wing Chun, who will breed numerous splendid students.
Thank you!
Also, when you become popular,
let's make a film
to promote Wing Chun to the whole world.
You'll contribute the capital, and me, the hard work.
Good! What about profit? Let's say thirty seventy.
Fifty fifty!
You forty me sixty. Definite!
The congee is getting cold. Eat!
Done deal!
Let's eat first!
Sis!
What'?
The mayor's son is here. He wants to ask you out to a film.
And Dad has agreed on your behalf.
Is that right'? Yes!
Did he say what film?
Do you really want to go?
What about Ip Man?
What about your freedom of romantic love'?
Freedom of romantic love'?
I've waited so long, but have yet to find my love.
Perhaps Ip Man and I are not connected.
Do you really think so'?
Or else how could I have done so much but to no avail.
What else can I do about it'?
Look! A new film is on
I don't think you're a fan of horrors.
Let's go have a drink.
No! I want to see the film
I'll go get the ticket, then.
This way please! Here's your ticket, have a seat.
Ip Man?
Miss Justice?
Aren't you the daughter of the Deputy Major? How are you?
Hello! Watching this film, too?
Yes, what a small world!
Miss Cheung was looking for you, Man.
Really? Anything important'?
Let's wait until the end of the film.
You're not even afraid of thugs.
I thought you're the fearless kind.
Of course I'm fearless.
Don't touch me! What's happening now'?
Now Dracula is moving towards the female lead and about to bite her
ls the biting over'?
He's still biting, still biting.
Alright, you may open your eyes now.
Are you sure?
Yes!
I'm Dracula So am I.
Scared the wits out of me. Excuse me.
Please allow me to take you home, Miss Cheung.
Don't worry about it, Mr. Cho, bye!
Come on... Miss Cheung, when will we...
Three yams, please!
Thanks for taking me to the film, thank you very much.
See you Bye!
Buying yams?
Where did you pick up your English, Miss Cheung?
I learned it myself.
My brother took English lessons in Hong Kong, too.
Perhaps you two can get together and practise speaking it.
Where are we heading now'?
Tomorrow will be our Master's birthday, we'll go buy a chicken.
OK
Let's leave, Mei Wai. We don't speak English, neither do you!
Let's go.
Didn't you say you had something to ask me?
No need now.
You're amusing, yet I have a question to ask you.
Please do
I've not got your name.
Didn't you address me as Miss Justice?
I like it.
You're not going to tell me.
My name is Cheung Wing Shing.
The feeling of thinking of a person, whose name is not known,
is like listening to a song
without knowing the title.
Or you know the person's name,
but not what he's thinking about.
The feeling is like listening to a song,
when the title is familiar but not the tune.
One, two, three, four.
Is it hurting you?
It's not nice to me. Beat it up.
Watch me!
Like this, one, two.
So slow, speed it up, come on, come on.
Don't laugh, laughing drains energy.
Look at you, being around this log all day long.
You've grown to be log like, hopelessly inarticulate.
How can I be more expressive, then?
You can exercise your thoughts, for instance...
Think of something you like or somebody you want to be with.
Well, I'll stick your name here, then, Cheung... Wing... Shing.
So you want to beat me up every day?
No, no, no! I just want to be with you.
Ip man! Go and help prepare dinner
I'm taking Wing Shing out for dinner.
Come over here, Wing Shing, I have something to tell you.
Go clean the study Yes, Sir!
What do you want to tell me, Dad'?
You've made a major mistake, Wing Shing.
What major mistake?
The worst I could think of was giving the Mayor's son the cold shoulder.
You shouldn't have gone out with that martial arts guy, Ip Man.
If you loathe martial arts guys so much,
why do you support the Jing Wu Athletic Association, then?
I support them because my job requires it.
Our friendship is not based on a job.
I'm not a hypocrite like you.
Me a hypocrite'?
I'm your dad, why won't you listen to me?
I'm just worried that you make friends who are a bad influence
and bring disgrace on the family.
Unless you don't care much about our family,
go back to your room and reflect.
For you.
Thank you. I'm sure it'll bring a lot of sweet dreams
I'm afraid that we might have to stop seeing each other.
What happened'?
I'm here to see Deputy Mayor Cheung.
Please come in!
Please take a seat.
OK, it's done
I hope to see you soon, Mr. Cheung.
The pleasure was all mine.
See you soon.
By the way, where can I purchase “bone china”?
He wants to find out where he can purchase some Chinese bones
Chinese bones'?
The British simply adore bone china.
The British have developed a taste for Chinese bones
I think he can get a better price from the slaughter house.
Go to the “Killing Animal House” to buy some.
Killing Animal?
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Kill, kill, kill.
In that place they kill chickens, kill cows, kill pigs, kill ducks, kill geese...
Thank you OK!
Sir!
The British would like to buy bone China.
He wants bone china!
Just kidding.
Mr. Cheung says we can take you to buy very good china bone.
Just kidding.
Thanks for doing the favor for me.
Good bye Good bye.
Your English is not bad, young man. Your name'?
Ip man.
So you're Ip Man, here for Wing Shing?
I'm here to pay a special visit to Mr. Deputy Mayor.
Pay me a visit?
Something's happening, sis!
What are you fussing about'?
Ip Man's here.
Ip Man's here'?
He came to see Dad. I don't know what they're up to. Come and see.
Let me help you!
No, thanks!
Let's go to a movie tonight.
What about the others?
Siu Shan and Yiu Choi don't like dramas.
What about Ip Man?
Ip Man... has company.
Let me think about it.
Don't think for too long. The movie will be off soon.
When do you want to go, then'?
Actually, I've already got two tickets.
Too bad I couldn't get toffee, only some chocolates.
Good day, Master Ng. This is a present from Mr. Chan.
Thank you, Yiu Choi! Yes!
Take the presents to the main hall.
This way, please! Thank you!
Look at these paper cuts, Man.
Thanks for your trouble.
Thank you!
Lay it out properly.
Hey, move the left lantern more to the left.
All right!
Move the right lantern more to the right.
Finished?
Is my writing all right?
Tin Chi! Ip Man!
Put these couplets on the front door.
Alright!
I'll get the rice paste, be back soon.
Hurry!
Mr. Ip Tin Chi.
Can I help you?
The Kitanos asked me to deliver
a gift on your big day.
Happy wedding day!
I really want to know how you feel now.
Thank you all! Cheers!
Hope you have beautiful kids
I appreciate it.
Congratulations!
Please take a seat!
Mr. Ip, please sit down!
Thanks.
What a great evening!
Tin Chi's got himself a wife and I've got a daughter
I'm very happy, too.
To me, Mei Wai is like half a daughter.
While Tin Chi is half a son.
Now half a daughter is marrying half a son;
Half a son is marrying half a daughter.
The two halves together form a perfect couple.
Don't forget that Tin Chi is my whole son
I'm most thrilled to see him marrying your half daughter.
You'll have another happy occasion very soon.
I believe it'll be Ip man's turn soon.
Keep up the good work, Man!
Tin Chi,
have a wonderful wedding night!
Thanks!
Congratulations on your promotion to the Deputy Chairmanship, too. Cheers!
Thank you!
Why don't we fill up the glasses'?
Bottoms up! Bottoms up!
Tin Chi, work hard!
I know, Dad. Cheers!
To my woman.
To my man.
Cheers again!
Come on!
Master!
He was very happy and is a bit tipsy.
Stay here tonight, Ip Man. Go to sleep, go!
Yes, Sir!
Watch your step Ip Man.
Let's fill our glasses again, Man.
It's getting late, President Lee.
What do you mean by late?
The night is still young.
Tin Chi said your martial arts skill is superb.
Come on! Show me your skills.
Next time!
Why next time? Let's do it tonight.
President Lee, seriously, it's getting late!
Let's not start late, then.
President Lee!
Sir!
We don't need you here. Retire to your room. Let's try again.
President Lee!
Let's go!
Sit tight, off we go!
Master Ng, Master Ip, where's Tin Chi'? Isn't he coming'?
It was his wedding night last night.
I'll tell him later.
Let's go in first.
Master.
This way
I can't imagine the honorable and
respected President ended up with such a tragic death.
We must locate the murderer,
the President cannot die in vain.
Show me in. Have you reported to the police?
Not yet.
We'd better report it first.
Right away.
Got it!
Where's my brother?
In his room.
Ip Tin Chi!
Ip Tin Chi, come with me.
What's wrong?
You stay here.
You come with me right now; I have to talk to you.
What's the matter'?
People should have qualms of conscience.
What're you getting at'?
Didn't Lee Man Ho treat you like his son?
Why did you do that'?
What've I done'?
Are you out of your mind'?
Stop acting innocent!
Strangle me if you have the balls
I have no clue what you're talking about.
You strangled President Lee,
only you used left hand
Lee is dead'?
I won't let him die in vain!
Let go of him, Man! What are you two doing?
Why start a fight'?
Your Godfather was killed.
Look this man in the eyes. He is the killer.
All because he was strangled with the left hand,
you're accusing me of murder
I'm not the only one in Foshan who's learned the strangling move.
You taught me this move.
You know how to strangle with your left hand, too.
The Japanese want to get rid of their opponents.
You must be the one who helped them.
Tell me,
why did the Japanese send gifts to your wedding'?
I do business with many foreigners.
It's no surprise that the Japanese would send me presents.
Swear that you have nothing to do with President Lee's murder.
All right! I, Ip Tin Chi swear...
Tin Chi, the police are here.
Ip Man, have you reported to the police?
Mr. Ip Tin Chi, we are here to take Mr. Ip Man to the police station.
Why are you taking my brother away?
He's suspected of President Lee's murder
Lee's servant witnessed a fight and heated
argument between Ip Man and Lee last night.
The President was quite drunk
and my brother just escorted him home.
No need to start a fight with President Lee after taking him home, right?
Arrest him.
You're not taking Ip Man away.
There must be some understanding here. My brother doesn't kill.
Mr. Ip, please stop your wife from obstructing our course of action
I'll go with them. I fear not as I'm innocent.
Go!
Ip Tin Chi, remember you swore an oath.
Inspector,
if you don't have enough evidence to press charges,
you have to release him.
Deputy Mayor,
Ip Man has been charged with felony.
We need more time to investigate.
Ip Man is innocent, you can't lock him up.
Miss Cheung,
we go by evidence; We don't bring charges against innocent citizens.
There are witnesses in this case.
If he's innocent,
why won't he try to defend himself?
You keep saying Ip Man is innocent;
Do you have evidence, Miss Cheung?
Unless you can prove his innocence, stop making these empty claims.
Ip Tin Chi has been elected President of the Jing Wu Athletic Association.
Good! Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations! Thank you!
Mr. Kitano will donate
$300,000 to the Association.
And will send his students here to exchange knowledge.
Any objections?
Lee Man Ho... killers in ambush.
You can leave now!
How come'?
Let's get out of here first.
Come on!
At 10:30 pm, the night of the murder,
Ip Man came to my place.
We stayed up and chatted.
He was drunk and so spent the night in my room.
Miss Cheung, are you telling the truth?
Were you really with Ip man on the night of the murder?
Your testimony is critical to the case.
If you're making things up, you could be arrested
I swear the truth in my capacity as the Deputy Mayor's daughter.
However, I can't simply take your alibi and
believe that Ip Man is innocent
I need more supporting evidence.
More supporting evidence?
Is my daughter's chastity not enough
to prove his innocence?
I guess I need the Provincial Governor
to come and do justice.
Dad, don't be too upset.
I had no alternative but to make up such a lie. I'm so sorry.
You sacrificed your reputation to rescue him;
Just to rescue a Kung Fu guy!
You must marry my sister as soon as you can!
Dad, don't get mad! Wing Shing!
Sorry! I'm not worth it.
Worth it or not is only for me to decide
I don't want you to marry me because of this.
Wing Shing!
That's not what I mean, I want you to marry me
I'll take you as my wife with an official ceremony and a grand wedding.
Your father need not worry
Mei Wai! Mei Wai!
Mei Wai, why are you doing this?
Did you kill my Godfather, Tin Chi?
Do you work for the Japanese?
Did you betray your own people for money, or for power'?
It's not as simple as you think.
It's hard to explain
Mei Wai, please don't leave me!
Listen to me
I beg you. Please listen!
What other lies do you want to tell me'?
You can't die, you'll be a mother soon.
But you've killed, you should give yourself in.
It won't work! It won't work!
Listen! We should go somewhere we belong.
Where's the letter?
Who came'?
Tell me, who came'?
No... Nobody.
Tell me who was here'?
Brother Chung So... he came to see me just now
I've caused my brother enough damage,
I don't want to involve Brother Chung So.
Where are you heading?
I've done so much for your career advancement.
Dad even made Ip Man the culprit for your crime.
And you back out because of this lowly woman!
I've done what you told me. What more do you want from me?
Kill Ng Chung So; He's aware that you're working for us.
For you, and for us,
whoever gets in the way should be eliminated
I don't want to kill any more!
This is not an option!
Tin Chi!
Don't hurt her!
Tin Chi!
I gave you my word on the honor of a samurai:
You'll be free to leave after this mission.
Don't say that you haven't been given a second chance!
How can I overcome him?
If you can't do this alone,
we'll form a brother and sister team.
Tin Chi, come out!
Tin Chi, come out quick!
We don't spare traitors in the Wing Chun Martial Arts School.
He's no longer your senior.
Get him out here, now!
Tin Chi! Tin Chi!
I beg your forgiveness, Master
I've failed as a teacher and a leader.
Yiu Choi! Yiu Choi!
Master!
Ip Tin Chi, you traitor!
That's no way to treat your fellow disciples.
Watch out, Man!
I will!
Kill him!
Clear the way!
I beat you up, not in revenge for being framed.
But to defend Lee Man Ho, the Master, and Dad's reputation.
Why did you turn traitor when you were so loved and respected by us?
I'm not a traitor!
I'm a Japanese sergeant, Tanaka Eiketsu
I left my parents when I was twelve to
become a spy in China
I miss my country,
I want to go home
I couldn't even see my mother when she died
I have yet to be able to pay my respects at her grave.
It might not be a bad idea to die now,
so everything can be ended
I'm a soldier, which leaves me no choice
I'm relieved now as I've finally carried out my mission
I don't need to hurt the people I love any more.
It's been a pleasure to be adopted
by the Ip family and be your brother
I have no regrets, as Mei Wai has been my wife.
Where's Mei Wai now'?
Ip Man...
The essence of Wing Chun is to follow one's shadow,
not his hand. Focus on what you feel rather than what you see.
Where's Tin Chi'?
I feel guilty; I wasn't able to keep his son.
Captain, these crates have just arrived. They are all Kitano's.
Open them for inspection!
Where am I? Who are you? I want to go home.
There's one over here, too!
Help him out Over here, too!
Any water? Give them some! Will do!
Easy, get him out!
Dad, a beggar is unconscious outside.
Don't be afraid! Leave!
Give them some water!
At the critical moment,
he arrived in a hurry with a long rod in hand,
beating the hell out of the Japanese with
the authentic Wing Chun 'half-past six' rod style.
However, his rod was slashed into two halves
by your Uncle Tin Chi's Japanese sword.
Yet Tin Chi didn't let go, he pressed even harder...
by attacking Ip Man with Karate and Judo.
How did my Dad react?
He was very alert;
He immediately used the two half rods like a pair of wing-shaped swords,
and brandished them frantically,
at times mixing in some unknown styles,
styles difficult to identify, to beat his opponent.
These mixed movements, regardless of their authenticity,
were not only powerful enough to win,
but also good enough to save my life.
From then on, I stopped believing that martial arts schools
should be segregated to maintain their own authentic styles.
My eyes were opened and saw a broader horizon
I don't understand how Uncle Tin Chi picked up Japanese Kung Fu?
Yeah! Why'? Why?
As a matter of fact, your Uncle Tin Chi...
Why stop practicing?
Dad!
Go and do more training and practice. Hurry! Hurry!
Let's go and practice!
Telling stories again, Brother Chung So'?
You've gone over them thousands of times.
The thing is, every time it's a new story to them.
You're right! Children should know about their past.
Pay full attention when you practice.
You are not allowed to eat before you're done.
Dinner's ready, Jun!
Stop the training. Come and eat, everybody!
Dad says I have to practise well before I can eat.
What's more important? Martial Arts or food?
Food! Dad!
All right!
Take a good rest. Practise more after you eat.
Eat!
