Ye Wen, a native of Foshan, Guangdong, had a wealthy family when he was young. He learned boxing from Chen Huashun, the third-generation descendant of Wing Chun, and his master's admonition to "one belt and one breath" supported him through the chaotic era of turmoil and dynasties. His wife, Zhang Yongcheng, is pungent and capable. In 1936, the world of martial arts in Foshan was in chaos. The master of Bagua Boxing, Miya Haneda, is very old and promises to retire. The position of the president of the Chinese Samurai Association naturally attracted the attention and coveting of martial arts masters. Including Miyaheda's only daughter Gong Er, White Saruma San, Kanto ghost Dinglianshan Wing Chun Ye Wen and other masters all focused their attention on the upright Miy Haneda. Boxing has a north and a south, and the country has a north and a south? The most virtuous person is worthy of the heavy responsibility of the president, but this false reputation in the floating world has attracted countless confused people to rush around and spend their lives. Born in troubled times, children's love is buried deep in their hearts, and they are crushed into mud by ice-cold wheels...

"All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence", "If you never forget, there will be echoes", "It was my luck that I met you at the best time", "To tell the truth, I have you in my heart, I put this It doesn't matter what I tell you, it's not illegal to like people, but I can only do it until I like it." - The lines are really classic

The Grandmaster quotes

  • [last lines]

    Ip Man: They say I spread wing chung throughout the world. I hope that's true. I didn't do it to acquire renown. The martial arts should be open to all, everyone should walk the same route. It all comes down to two words: Horizontal, Vertical.

  • Gong Er: This opera of mine, applauded or not, will play on to the end. I asked you here to bring things to a close and say what needs to be said.

    Ip Man: Are you going somewhere?

    Gong Er: We have a saying in the North - a tiger never quits the mountain. We've both been living on foreign soil. I'm so very tired. I want to go home. But I wanted to return this to you first. As for the 64 Hands, I've already forgotten them. I was lucky to meet you in my prime. Sadly, my time is running out. To say there are no regrets in life, is just to fool yourself. How boring it would be without regrets. Mr. Ip, to tell you the truth, I cared about you. I don't mind telling you that. It's not a crime to love. But that's all it can ever be. I never said that to anyone before. Seeing you tonight, I don't know why, it just came out. Let's say we suspend this game of chess between us. Take care.

    Ip Man: In life, as in chess, a move once made stays on the board. What we have is simply fate. Your father once said, never give up the faith. Keep the light burning. I hope that one day I'll see the 64 Hands once more.
