There comes another one to snatch our rice bowl.
Okay, let's practice.
Come, get ready.
One.
Two.
One.
Two.
Young Master, there is a Master Liao looking for you.
This is...
I am the Master of the Liao's Fist.
I 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 already here and we will be
sparring only, it shouldn'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 shall wait for you to finish.
Master Liao, have you eaten?
Please, come and join us.
You smoke?
It's okay.
How were the dishes tonight?
Good, good.
That is good.
Very quick.
Uncle Wang, don't clean up the table. Just close the door.
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.
- Thanks for the lesson. I've learnt a lot. - Same here. Same here.
Today was closed door sparring, Master Ip...
Don't worry, it'll never leak out.
Thank you very much. I'll take my leave.
Do be careful.
I am not sending you off.
Ip Man's "Heavenly King Smashing the Tower". Once more, using the "Four Taels to Heave a Thousand Katis"
throws Master Liao to a thunderous grounding.
Isn't that stroke used in Tai Chi Quan?
Master Ip practices Wing Chun, right?
Whatever! Anyway, he just pushes him away with one hand.
Master Liao still would not concede defeat, so Ip Man ferociously chased him and beat him up.
But Master Liao after being beaten was still not satisfied...
And used "Hungry Dog Snatch Faeces" to beat Ip Man.
This type of tea leaf is very nice. And quite cheap.
- Do be careful. - Thank you.
Goodbye. See you again the next time.
Uncle Ping, who put this here?
Your younger brother.
I thought Master Liao's kung fu was good but he couldn't even get a hit.
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 in 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 have something to ask of 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 had asked him to be my sifu.
You've asked 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 shall not disturb your discussion.
Good morning, Master.
- 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?
Well it means Fuoshan's economy is good.
Everyone has disposable income.
Really?
Think about it! Clothes, food, accommodation and travels. Clothes comes first.
In the future, the demand for cloth will be huge.
I want to set up a cotton factory and become a supplier to the cloth factory.
I would like 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'm going to teach you a lesson today! - Sifu, Sifu.
He's my younger brother. Let's talk slowly.
Don't get angry, Sifu.
Your brother...
Your brother is talking nonsense and has ruined my reputation.
Said I lost to Ip Man in a fight.
Tell me, how can I now survive in Dojo Street?
How can I open my dojo and take in students?
Sifu! Apologize now!
I am not in the wrong. I'm just stating facts.
- You're talking nonsense. - Sifu.
Ip Man is upstairs. If you've got the balls, go and find him!
What! Go on then!
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 landed in Brother Man's garden?
What a coincidence that you saw Master Liao and Brother Man having a duel?
And coincidentally, you saw the whole scene as well?!
There is too many coincidences!
Yes, it's all coincidences.
Even if it's true, you just can't go around telling everyone.
There are some things which one can't admit to.
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 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, disobeys the law,
they will be arrested.
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!
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 Li, that practitioners of martial arts
have abundant energy and are sometimes loud in their speech.
But that does not mean that we have no manners.
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. Li. All on me.
Good.
Insp. Li, this way please.
What are you looking at? Quick, scram!
Don't look! Everyone disperse.
Insp. Li, 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've made profit you can repay me.
I won't be able to repay you quickly.
Take your time.
Do me one more favor. Accept my son as your student.
There are many masters in Dojo Street. 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. Help me test it, ok?
You're so free! Have you found your younger brother yet?
Don't worry about him. Once his money is depleted, he'll be 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 attack when defending.
While attacking there is defense and while defending there is attack.
The words you say are all the same.
You won't understand, kid. Now, move back.
This move is to attack the middle section. Very deadly!
Don't just know how to say the words. Most important is to land a hit.
Mother, I've finished drawing.
It's so good. Let Daddy take a look.
Okay.
Use attack as defense. Continued defense is attack.
That's what I do. What I did earlier on was constant defense.
Daddy, have a look.
Daddy is not free. Later...
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 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 your 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 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 a 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. Watch your sifu teach this country bumpkin a lesson.
Not that side. This side! This side!
Someone 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.
Wonder what happened to the weather in Fuoshan. Blowing cold, then 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. Just have a few words and I'll go.
Hey, what is it?
There's a bunch of country bumpkins going around challenging all the dojos.
Their kung fu is really 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 hell!
There is no one who can fight in Fuoshan.
I thought everyone in Fuoshan was like Wong Fei Hung,
but actually they are worms.
Weaklings who 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.
We'll open a martial arts school in Fuoshan and let them know how good we really are.
We have to be number one in Fuoshan.
You country bumpkins beat a few masters and you think you are damn good.
Beat the best, and then we'll see.
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? If you want to open a dojo, you don't have to fight 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 to fight?
Fight! Fight! Fight! Do you think my house is a dojo?
Think you can just come in to 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 suits you.
Ip Man, you're really henpecked.
There is no one afraid of their wives
but men who respect their wives.
Mrs. Ip, don't worry. I won't kill him.
If you're afraid that he will lose, I'll use only one hand.
If you like, I will not use both of my hands.
Master Ip, fight!
Fuoshan has really disappointed me.
- So many martial arts practitioners but no... - 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 outside 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 man uses a woman's martial arts.
Good kung fu does not have sex or age differentiation.
It all depends on the skill of the person using it.
Please.
I'll pay.
Good.
How is it? How is it?
Who is better?
I'll pay.
Daddy, mummy says that
if you don'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, and you'll know that he had lost.
Scram!
Sifu.
- Brother Man. - Good show Master Ip.
You've saved the reputation of all the dojos in Fuoshan.
It's luck. Just 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 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. - So good of 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?
- 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 so kind.
Why is it so crowded?
Uncle Man, Auntie.
You are so sly.
If you wanted to open a dojo, why didn't you inform me first?
When did I say I wanted 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 better fix this mess.
Come, walk yourself.
I don't care. But 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.
Wing Seng, I am going out for awhile. Will be back soon.
Wait.
It's cold outside. Wear one more.
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, 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've left. Why come back?
If I don't come back, where would the workers get money to eat?
My money is all invested here.
I still can't pay you yet.
No need. If you hadn't mentioned, I would have forgotten about it.
This can't be. I'll treat it that you have invested here.
It might be little but you still own ten percent 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.
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 didn'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, right?
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?
No need to worry.
All the valuables in the house have been pawned.
Your husband has strength and energy. I can go out and find a job.
I won't die.
You, go out and work?
Of course I had 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 would 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 would go and look for work, right?
Go there and eat.
Okay.
Brother Man, I can't eat anymore. Help me finish this, 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 even get a chance to apologize.
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.
He knows that Fuoshan is a 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 sand bags.
Let me tell you, no way!
Idiot! If you win, the prize is a bag of rice.
Those who win a 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 'em down.
Let me go there and have a go.
They are not your match, General Sanpo.
Just treat it as a way to let them know our Japanese martial arts.
Find three guys 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 three of you.
No matter if you win or lose, you still get a bag of rice.
It's okay if there is no rice. The most important thing is to beat them up.
Who will go first?
I'll go! I'll go!
Let go! Keep quiet!
Crazy Lin! You! You! Three men.
Ok.
Hey, you're vomiting blood. Stop fighting.
We've lost!
General, they 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 gotten their rice. General Sanpo was very satisfied.
Is there anyone willing to go today?
- Anyone want to go? - Li Chian.
Li Chian, where is Crazy Lin?
Anyone willing to go?
I am asking you. Where is Crazy Lin?
I don't know.
You don't know? You're the one who brought him out!
Anyone want to go? If you win, you get a bag of rice.
I'll go.
Master Ip is going. I am going.
I'll go.
I would like to fight with the Japanese.
Are there any more orders?
No. Quick, go.
Thank you.
Can I still fight with three more men?
He says he wants to fight with three more men.
I won't fight anymore.
Why did they shoot?
Li Chian, why did they shoot?
Who asked you to shoot?
I saw that he had lost and still wanted to take the rice.
I wanted to teach him a lesson. That is why.
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 want 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 ten men.
You're crazy! Don't be like this.
I want to fight ten men!
He says he wants to fight ten men.
Ten?
Yes.
I've got to see this.
Number Five Platoon!
First 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. I don't need to eat?
I need to eat!
Need to eat?
You saw your own country men being killed. Do you 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 ten! Kill a hundred! Kill a thousand!
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.
And 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.
As long as this family doesn't split up, there won't be any problems.
The most important thing is that our family stays together.
Get down!
Get down! Get down!
Stand at the side!
Stand at one side! Stand at 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 money?
No money.
Any money?
I'll beat you until you've got money.
I didn'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 right now... Ok, so 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 with?
I've always thought practicing kung fu was not practical.
Now I know that it's quite useful.
If I had known, I would have learnt some form of self-defense.
At least to block a few punches.
Uncle Man, why don't you stay and teach us some kung fu?
Then we can protect ourselves and be not afraid of bullies.
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 didn'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 it a bit higher? Ok.
Why didn't Ip Man come again?
I.... I really 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, scissor, cloth.
You all gang up against me.
Hide properly!
- Ten, nine, eight, seven... - Ah June.
- Six, five, four... - Quickly, go and hide over there.
three, two, one.
Here I come! Who will I find first?
Master..
Why are you here?
Sanpo wants you to go back and fight with him.
Let's go.
No way.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? What do you want?
What are you doing?
Very pretty.
Shit!
Let's go. It's not safe here.
Let's 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 is really beyond my capabilities. I am sorry.
So useless!
Give the order 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.
Go where?
Hong Kong.
Actually, anywhere is fine with me.
I have some friends in Hong Kong.
If there is 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 been beaten enough, right?
Fucking bitch! Whoever resists... Beat them up!
Don't fight anymore.
No wonder you guys dare to resist. You've got a bodyguard.
I came to Fuoshan to open a dojo. 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 is forcing you unless you have no way out.
Ip Man, ever tried being hungry every day?
Nowadays, no one eats 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 to fight?
Let's go.
Master, you're great.
Sha Dan Yuan.
Stop.
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.
Your brother asked me to give you this.
Don't ever mention him to me again.
Do you know that your brother is dead?
He was killed by a Japanese.
Your brother was looking for you but was unable to find you.
Whatever path a man takes is their own choice.
That 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!
I'm 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 to 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 were 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 will have half a chance of surviving.
He says he admires you and wants you to teach Japanese Chinese kung fu.
I won't teach Japanese.
You really like to see me fight.
Then I'll fight with you!
He says, he will consider being an instructor.
He would also like to spar with General Sanpo.
Bring him back.
Take him away.
Qin Quan, take my wife and kid, 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 to the Imperial Army.
He has other motives for wanting to fight you.
Please don't fight him.
Just let me put a bullet through him.
He knows he is better. That's why he wants to fight you.
If I don't accept the challenge...
and you kill him...
then what is the difference between admitting defeat?
General, fighting with a Chinese man
is not a personal concern.
But it's 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 want you to be an instructor
because I admire your skill in kung fu.
But I don't think that Chinese martial arts is better than Japanese martial arts.
We will be fighting in front of a lot of people.
That is why this should be a fair fight.
You occupied my country. Killed my country men.
Take back your insults.
Excuse me.
- Let go of my mother. - Let me go! Let me go back!
I promised Ip Man I wouldn't let anything happen to either of you.
Going back is just too dangerous.
I heard that a Japanese is having a duel with a Chinese.
Who is it?
Ip Man!
Look at this place, it's all sealed up.
I used to hope that he accompany me everyday.
That's why I reprimanded him and his martial arts practice.
Every time he fought with someone I would throw my temper.
I've never really supported him to do 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, a fair fight will take place.
An exchange of ideas. Friendship through martial arts.
To realize Sino-Japanese peace.
Fair fight? Sounds really good, huh?
Look at that traitor's face! Sooner or later the Japanese will kill him.
You're right!
Master Ip is coming.
What did General Sanpo spoke to you about? Talk about the fight?
I really don't care.
Listen carefully! If you win this fight,
I will kill you immediately with my gun.
Remember that!
Yes.
Please, don't win the fight with Sanpo.
If you win, he will kill you.
Be careful for your life. That is what is most important.
Martial arts may be a form of brute strength.
But our Chinese martial arts system includes many ideals and philosophy.
Martial arts rules. Compassion. A willingness to help other people.
This is what you Japanese will 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.
Ip Man’s resistance to bow down to Japanese inspired the people of China to unite.
With the help of his good friend Qin Quan, Ip Man escaped Fuoshan with his family.
15th August, 1945.
The Japanese announced their unconditional surrender.
The people of China scored a victory
and ended a war that had lasted eight 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 his life.
In 1967, Master Ip Man fulfilled his life-long wish in his old age.
He established Wing Chun's Athletic Club,
uniting more people and helped spread Wing Chun Fist.
Wing Chun Fist spread all over the world
and is now one of the best known kung fu styles.
Ip Man’s disciples is estimated to be well over two million.
Amongst the many great disciples of Wing Chun,
was superstar, Bruce Lee.
