Ip Man (葉問)

Go! Go away

Commander Fu

Mr Fu

Master Yu

Please sit After you

Master Yu, it has been ten years

Looking back, it was just like yesterday

Yes, everything is different

Only lp Man that boy thinks things will remain the same

I don't know why you are here in Canton

I don't mean to ask

But I have a request

No one can harm lp Man

Master Yu, I am here because of him

Though we had met but once

But I like him a lot

The boy won't give up until his question is answered

He came to me

But I refused to see him

Because I couldn't give him the answer

In tomorrow's combat

He will try to get into the ring

You have to stop him

Alright

Thank you, Master Yu

Wait

You used to be Marshal Chu's man

Now you are working for the north

It's quite a drastic change

Life is fickle

I am committed to the welfare of the Foshan people

That will never change

Hence I sometimes envy you

Maybe you are after too many things

Proceed

Please excuse me

Martial Arts Convention

Look this way... One more, another pose...

Thank you

Master Tseung, it's said there's a political agenda for your southbound trip

I am not educated I don't know what you mean

I just know I will defeat all challengers with my martial artistry

The chief coach position is in my pocket

How audacious

Who's that bastard blathering here?

Halt

You troublemaker

Let me see if your fist is faster than my bullet

You can't fight me and are now resorting to guns?

I don't care what you do in the ring

If you stir up trouble outside of it

I will kill you anytime

Alright, shoot, I won't duck

Come on, shoot

Tseung Sing, stop it

I'll let you go for Mr Fu's sake

Let me reiterate

Take lives in the ring and none will be after you

Outside of it, make any trouble and you'll pay with your life

Fu Jing-wan, now you know who I am

What? A day has gone but still no challengers?

What? A day has gone but still no challengers?

Well, if you admit defeat We'll go back north

You can carry on with your house-playing

Yes!

There are only losers in the south

Well, excuse me

Wait...

Ip Man...

I am not fighting you

But I want to fight you

It's not for myself, or for the south

It's for the northern expedition

For the revolution

For the advancement of the Chinese people

lp Man, get down

You are in collusion!

Hear me out

They have pulled wool over our eyes

Yu Fung-kau is now on the northerners' payroll

Master Yu...

Ip Man, Yu Fung-kau, spare us your acting

Yu Fung-kau, let me ask you

I was in the ring Brother Lo was in the ring

We both had our limbs broken

Why did this mere boy suffer no injuries?

I don't understand either

Come on... you do

I saw you going over to their place

Was it true? Yes

What a coincidence

I saw you having morning tea with the Fu guy

You were in an animated talk

Was it true? Yes

What? Master Yu...

Yu Fung-kau, you traitor of the southern martial arts world

Mentor and I do know them

But that doesn't mean we are in collusion with them

Spare us your acting

Since you two came to Canton

The southern martial arts world has had internal disagreements

Guys, you agree?

Yes, that's true...

How can you say so?

Miss Cheung, it doesn't concern you

You...

Wing-shing...

Leave me alone

Alright, let me prove we are not moles

We'll fight

Bravo...

Bravo...

Bravo...

Ip Man...

Mentor, Tseung Sing's martial artistry has vastly improved

I know

Come on

I am Yu Fung-kau, born and bred in Foshan

I am accused of being in collusion with the northerners

I practise martial arts, not rhetoric

Let my martial artistry speak for myself

Yu Fung-kau, most honoured

Bravo... go!

Go! Go!

Mentor

Mentor won...

How wonderful

Good!

Master Yu, a very good Crane and Centipede Kick

Come on

Mentor

Master Yu

lp Man Let go of me

Master Yu fights like a man

What are you doing?

You let him

Mentor...

Master Yu, sorry

Mentor

Let him finish

Master Yu

Master Yu...

Master Yu

Master Yu

Mentor

Mentor

Master Yu, sorry

Go

Mentor...

Give way...

Doctor, save him...

Mentor...

Operation Theatre

Zi, thank you for your help, you can go

I respect Master Yu

Doctor... how's my mentor?

Don't worry, he suffers no internal injuries

But his limbs...

What about his limbs?

He's suffered serious bone fractures and blood vessel raptures

He may not regain normal mobility

You mean Mentor is crippled?

You can say so

I heard it

You can come in

Mentor, let us try Chinese medicine

I consider myself lucky

I can speak, I can think

Though I cannot go back to martial arts cultivation

I can still coach it

I may be crippled

But I've shown there are still men in the south

Maybe my years of martial arts cultivation was a preparation for this day

I prefer this ending to dying of senility in bed

Mentor, it's a spectacular fight

You have shamed those who disparaged you

They can never raise their heads in your presence

Now in the southern martial arts circle

You've earned the address Master Yu

At least this fight has unified the southern martial arts circle

in defeating the northerners

We don't know you, go away

Master Yu, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life

I still have an arm and a leg

I don't need your care

I lost to Tseung Sing today

One, because of my age

If I were ten years younger and much stronger

I could have turned the table on him

This is life

Old age, illness and death No one can break the circle of life

And the other...

I still can't figure out how I can break that move

That's how

Wonderful

Master Yu, despite your plight

You care not about your pain or harbour resentment

But you can discuss your defeat with such ease

Your broadmindedness and bearing have my total admiration

Who am I to talk about taking care of you?
