Run...

It's alright now

Thanks to you

Or I would have been beaten to a pulp again Thank you

Who are those people?

Trashing up martial arts schools I understand

But why are they trashing up a newspaper agency?

It's that Ng Pak-lam

Ng Pak-lam?

He thinks by trashing up our newspaper agency

I'll be cowered

I won't dare to write exposes about him anymore

Dream on

What have you written?

You want to know?

Yes Alright

6 cents per character Five words...

Exactly 30 cents, please

Just a moment

"Have you answered my letters"

Have you found him?

I've asked everywhere, not a sight of lp Man

He has not come home the whole night

Has he gone to Canton to look for Cheung Wing-shing?

Cheung Wing-shing?

Because he got no letters from her and so became impatient?

Cheung Yam-tong has not written back

If he shows up out of the blue lt'll be embarrassing

He's a big boy now, we can't watch his every step

But it still worries me...

Please come in

Change them into notes Alright

Cashier Wah, so much money today

My savings of decades

To be frank, you save a few coppers a day You must have saved a tidy sum by now

Cashier Wah, you live so frugally

It's for your nest egg

See? Perseverance is the key to success

Many a little makes a mickle

Young man, learn from him

I am not a spendthrift

You mean there's more than you can spend

Cashier, take some out and let us spend it for you, right?

Get off now! Go!

You want to change all into notes? Yes, all of these

Cashier, you mean to leave Foshan?

Foshan is a nice place, why should I leave?

You are a moneychanger

You need coppers for change

Now you're changing them into notes

So you mean to retire?

I have set some aside

This money is for use elsewhere

It's for buying a house or for an investment?

You keep it safe

Of course, I have other use for it

Be careful Sure

It's not easy to save so much

Be careful...

I gotta go Take care

lp Man, here you are

Let me tell you

If you mean to pick up Wing Chun from Chan Wah-shun

Ask me first

Cooking for me like a woman does won't make me say "yes"

He owes it to me, he has to repay me

Why so quiet? Say something

You want a fight again? Come on

What are you doing here?

To repay my debt

So much? So you are loaded

I saved hard for it

It's for your leg treatment

For my leg treatment?

What do I need your money for?

You know what I want or not?

It's simple, either you pass me your kung fu

So I can beat all bad men into cripples

Or you break one of your legs

Is that clear? Do you get it?

I do, I owe it to you

I... I got it now

You don't have the guts to break your leg

Hence you mean to repay me with money

It can't be done

Whatever, you have to take the money

I will take the money

But you still have to pay what you owe me

China Post Office

lp Man...

Wake up, you are wanted

lp Man, wake up...

Your telegram...

Open it, come on Be quick

What does it say?

Lp Man, get in, come on

Don't suppress your grief for others' sake

Life is full of ups and downs

How do you know I am sad?

I could tell from the way you walked

She sent me a telegram

Have you answered my letters

No

Just tell me, what can I do to cheer you up?

Sing me a song

Alright

Clouds drifting in the sky

Breezes blowing on the ground

Breezes blowing through my hair

How can I not think of her?
