Ten things I understand after reading "Ip Man 2"

After reading "Ip Man 2", I understand the following truths:



1. No matter how poor you are, you can have a second child: Ye Wen's couple is worried about rations, rent, and tuition fees, but they don't worry about having a second child. But it depends on how you raise it!



2. No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education: Mrs. Ye would rather endure the humiliation and hide from the landlord, but also pay enough for her children's education. What is this called, ten years of trees, one hundred years of tree people!



3. There are several conditions for becoming a master of a generation: having fought, been in prison, endured hardships, and talked less.



4. Ye Wen's last speech told us: The right to speak is played out!



5. Ye Wen's victory in the public opinion war came to a conclusion: he must put his relationship into the media, master the mouthpiece and master the direction of public opinion!



6. Behind any handsome man, there is a woman who bears humiliation and burdens: don't even disturb him about such a big event as giving birth to a baby!



7. The poor have children and the rich have daughters: Sammo Hung’s family is rich and has six daughters, one son; Ye Wen can’t afford to eat, each of them is a son!



8. To be a brand, it is necessary to be a century-old brand: like Yunnan Baiyao, any kind of film can also implant advertisements into it.



9. If the facial muscles are stiff, then act as a master, because the master always looks dignified.



10. Those who can fight again, still have to go home when they are tired from fighting. This is the essence of Wing Chun - conquering strength with softness!



In all fairness, this film is still very good. The rhythm is relaxed, the music is fueling the flames, and the plot is ups and downs. In a word: better than "Ip Man 1"!

Ip Man 2 quotes

  • Landlady: Master! Someone wants to learn Wing Chun.

    Ip Man: You want to learn Wing Chun?

    Wong Shun Leung: Maybe. Just checking it out. I don't know what Wing Chun is.

    Ip Man: Let me give you an introduction. As a matter of fact, Wing Chun is a close combat style from the South...

    Wong Shun Leung: No need to tell me all this. Let's just fight. I'll pay you the school fees if I lose.

    Ip Man: Ok. I am Ip Man of Wing Chun.

  • Ip Man: Let's talk. Will you release my pupil first?

    Cheng Wai-Kei: Release him!

    Ip Man: Leung, are you all right?

    Wong Shun Leung: I'm fine.

    Ip Man: Why did you injure him?

    Wong Shun Leung: He wanted to fight, but wasn't as good as me. I couldn't really help it, could I?

    Cheng Wai-Kei: What did you say? I'm not as good as you?

    Ip Man: Take it easy! You're both young men. Injuries are inevitable in friendly fights. I'll visit your master and explain to him. May I know who your master is?

    Cheng Wai-Kei: Doesn't matter. He's better than you anyway. By the way, did you bring the ransom?

    Ip Man: No.
