In fact, this film is all about human life.

Even a martial arts master like Ye Wen has to live and cannot live without money. Opening a martial arts hall is actually a kind of livelihood compulsion. The deepest impression is that he was embarrassed to speak, but he had to speak to ask the apprentices for tuition fees.

Even opening a martial arts hall and teaching to make a living is not all smooth sailing. In order to open the museum smoothly, we must bow to the pier and convince others; when we have students, we must not only teach them to learn martial arts, but also teach them to be human; when encountering difficulties, we must first stand up and shoulder the burden.

Ip Man created by Donnie Yen is so perfect. Humble, courteous, capable but not revealing, self-cultivation, and able to stand up at critical moments, he is really a model of the perfect man in China. Is there such a good man in the world?

Huang Liang, the apprentice played by Huang Xiaoming, is the opposite of Ip Man. Being young, everything is too impulsive. Doing things and speaking without thinking about the overall situation is a comparison.

Personally, in this "Ip Man 2", Donnie Yen's literary drama is more exciting than martial arts, and some of the dialogues are full of philosophy of life, which is worth savoring.

Finally, the British actor who plays the Whirlwind Boxer is really, really good.

  • 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.
