Who will go first?
I'll go! I'll go!
Let go! Keep quiet!
Crazy Lin! You! You! 3 men.
Ok.
Hey, you're vomiting blood. Stop fighting.
We've lost!
General, they've admit defeat.
What nonsense! Do you really want to die?
You bastard!
Crazy Lin! How are you?!
Crazy Lin! Crazy Lin!
Are you tired today?
Just digging coal. It's not tiring.
I saw Crazy Lin today.
Really? How is he now?
Still okay.
I've never thought I would meet him.
Master Li! Master Hung!
Have you seen Crazy Lin?
Crazy Lin? I've not seen him.
Let's eat first
Yesterday, many people have gotten their rice. General Sanpo is very satisfied.
Is there anyone willing to go today?
Anyone wants to go? Li Chian.
Li Chian, where is Crazy Lin?
Anyone wants to go?
I am asking you. Where is Crazy Lin?
I don't know.
You don't know? You are the one who brought him out.
Anyone wants to go? If you win, you get a bag of rice.
I'll go.
Master Ip is going, I am going.
I'll go.
I would like to fight with the Japanese.
Is there any more orders?
No. Quick, go.
Thank you.
Can I still fight with 3 more men?
He say, he wants to fight with 3 more men.
I won't fight anymore.
Why did they shoot?
Li Chian. Why did they shoot?
Li Chian Why did they shoot?
Who ask you to shoot?
I saw that he had lost and still got the guts to take the rice.
That is why, I want to teach him a lesson.
This place is for martial arts only.
Don't ever fire your gun in here again.
Understood. General Sanpo, please cool down.
I will immediately arrange for the next fight.
Continue.
Anyone else still wants to fight?
I will fight.
Li Chian, open the door.
Master. Open the door!
Please tell me. Is that how Crazy Lin died?
Open the door!
Master.
Open the door!
Please open the door!
I want to challenge 10 men.
You're crazy! Don't be like this!
I want to fight 10 men.
He says he wants to fight 10 men.
10?
Yes.
I would also like to see.
Number 5 platoon!
1st group! Third group! Fifth group! Start!
Be careful.
Stop!
Come again.
He wants you to come again.
I didn't come here for the rice.
He says, he will come again.
Hey!
What is your name?
He wants to know your name.
I am only a Chinese man...
He is Ip Man.
You have to be careful from now on I don't know what Sanpo will do.
Traitor!
Why am I a traitor?
What have their deaths got to do with me?
I am only a translator. I don't need to eat?
I need to eat.
Need to eat?
You saw your own country men being killed. Do you have any dignity?
I don't! You have! You have a lot!
If you are so capable, why don't you kill them all?
Kill 10! Kill 100! Kill 1000!
I am a translator, not a traitor!
I am a Chinese man!
I am back.
Daddy
You're back.
Are you a good boy?
Yes, I am.
Ah June is a good boy.
Are you tired today?
Let me go and wash my face first.
You are very nice.
I've discovered that I am really useless.
I can't do anything.
Before, I only know how to practice martial arts.
What can I do with it?
This world...
is really small.
I am really useless.
I don't care what the outside world is like.
I only know that I am very happy right now.
With you and me and Ah June
and if this family don't split up then there won't be any problems.
The most important thing is that our family stay together.
Get down!
Get down! Get down!
Stand at the side!
Stand one side! Stand one side!
Who's the boss? Come out!
I am.
I've just robbed your goods. Now I want to sell it back to you.
Any objections?
I've no money.
Don't hit my father.
Wing Chun!
Fucking bitch! Wing Chun!
Don't hit him!
have you got money?
No money.
Any money?
Beat you until you've got money.
I didn't sell my goods. I don't have any money.
Uncle Man! Uncle Man!
Come quick, save my father. He's going to be beaten to death soon.
What is it, Kwong Yeow?
Auntie
I'll go and have a look. It's alright.
Let me tell you. I am very reasonable.
You don't have money now... Ok, I'll give you a little more time.
I'll keep the goods first.
Father, are you all right?
I am ok. Go and help Uncle Foo.
Is there anything I can help?
I've always thought that you practice kung fu is not practical.
Now I know it's quite useful.
If I've known, I would have learn some from you for self-defense.
At least I can block a few punches.
Uncle Man, why don't you stay and teach us some kung fu?
Then we can protect ourselves and not afraid of being bullied.
Master Ip.
Your kung fu is so great. Please teach us.
Please, Master Ip. Please teach us.
Teach us, please.
Master Ip, please teach us
I am a businessman.
Besides business, I know nothing else.
I can't protect them but you can.
Before, when it was peaceful, you said you don't want to teach.
Now, everything is so bad. Don't you think you need to do something?
I charge a high fee for teaching kung fu.
The fees for the students will be paid by you. You owe me another amount now!
Uncle Man, I want to be your first student.
Daddy, I want it a bit higher.
Want a bit higher? Ok.
Why didn't Ip Man come again?
I.... I don't know.
Find him here!
But I really don't know where he is.
How can I find him?
Fuoshan is not that big. How hard is it to find him?
Fuoshan is really quite big.
No!
I really don't know how to find him.
You're....
such a useless bum. Enough!
Bastard!
Stone, scissor, cloth.
You all gang up against me.
Hide properly!
10, 9, 8, 7 Ah June.
6, 5, 4. Quickly, go and hide over there.
3, 2, 1
Here I come! Who will I find first?
Master.
Why are you here?
Sanpo wants you to go back and fight with him.
Let' go.
No way.
What are you doing?
What do you want?
What are you doing?
Very pretty.
Shit!
Let' go. It's not safe here.
Let' go, Wing Seng.
Li Chian.
You're....so useless!
How is it possible that Ip Man escape?
I'm sorry.
Even Colonel Chuodeng is unable to stop him.
It is really beyond my capabilities. I am sorry.
so useless!
Give the order down.
Dig Ip Man out.
Yes.
Sisters.
Come.
Brother, eat first.
Master, how is he?
It's alright. They are fine.
Master.
Coming.
Mrs. Ip.
See if you can wear this?
How is it? Are you guys comfortable here?
It's okay.
That's fine then. When it's time to eat, I'll call.
Li Chian.
I am fine.
I really don't know what to say.
Thank you very much.
It's okay.
We have to leave Fuoshan as soon as possible.
Qin Quan is finding a way out for us.
Go where?
Hong Kong.
Actually, anywhere is fine with me.
I have some friends in Hong Kong.
If there is any problems.
What will happen to you?
You will be fine.
Are you tired today?
They are here again. Quick, run.
Have you prepared the money?
We won't give you the money.
What did you say?
I am not afraid of you. We are not easily bullied.
Rascal! Haven't got beaten enough, right!?
Fucking bitch! Whoever resist beat them up.
Don't fight anymore.
No wonder you guys dare to resist you've got somebody as your bodyguard.
I came to Fuoshan to open a dojo. You people insult me.
Today, you interfere in my business.
Fucking bitch! You want to force me until I have nowhere to go?
No one forcing until you got no way out.
Ip Man, have you ever tried being hungry everyday?
Nowadays, no one has a full meal.
On the first day when I came to Fuoshan, I said
I never want to go hungry again.
I never want to suffer hunger again. Beat them up!
Fight!
Sha Dan Yuan, what are you waiting for? Go!
How to fight?
Let' go.
Master, you're great.
Sha Dan Yuan
Stopped!
Do you know what you are doing?
I know! I am a thief!
You are robbing your own countrymen.
Rather than being bullied, I've rather bully others..
I want others to be afraid of me.
This is what your brother ask me to give you.
Don't ever mention him to me again.
Do you know that your brother is dead?
He is killed by a Japanese.
Your brother have been looking for you all the while but was unable to find you.
Whatever path a man takes, is their own choice.
That bastard told Sanpo that you are in the cotton factory.
Please don't go back there.
I am going. Please don't go back there. Remember!
Move quickly! Quick!
Where is Ip Man?
Where is Ip Man? Speak up!
Everyone, please don't say.
You, come here.
Where is Ip Man?
Speak up! Speak! Speak!
Asking you!
Hang on! I am thinking of a way.
Speak up! Speak! Speak!
I am here. Ip Man is here.
Ip Man is here! Ip Man is here!
I am here.
Li Chian.
Wait! Please wait!
Wait!
Li Chian, tell Sanpo, it has nothing to do with the workers.
Please tell him to let them go.
Asked you not to come! Why did you?
Tell them!
Chuodeng.
He dares beat me up! Why can't I kill him?
I know what to do.
Li Chian. - Yes
From the moment you resist the Japanese Army.
You are already a dead man.
But I saw that your skills are extraordinary, someone I could use.
That is why I am giving you one more chance
to be loyal to the Japanese Imperial Army.
Teach our Imperial Army Chinese kung fu.
Then, you would have half the chance of surviving.
He says he admires you wants you to teach Japanese Chinese kung fu.
I won't teach Japanese!
You really like to see me fight
then I'll fight with you!
He says, he will really consider to be an instructor.
He would also like to spar with General Sanpo.
Bring him back.
Take him away.
Qin Quan, take my wife and kid, and leave Fuoshan.
General, do you really want to fight with Ip Man?
Of course! He is a highly skilled kung fu master
But, look at him.
He don't want to be the instructor of the Imperial Army.
He have other motives for wanting to fight with you.
Please don't fight with him.
Just let me put a bullet through him.
He knows he is better. That's why he wants to fight with you.
If I don't accept the challenge
and kill him
then what is the difference between admitting defeat?
General fighting with a Chinese man
is not a personal concern but
it also the concern of Japan as well.
Are you saying I will lose?
I am just being cautious.
I will definitely win.
I also want the whole of China to know.
Yes, I know.
I didn't kill you and want you to be the instructor
is because I admire your skill in kung fu
but I don't think that Chinese martial arts is better than Japanese martial arts
because we will be fighting in front of all those people.
That is why, this should be a fair fight.
You occupied my country. Killed my country men.
Take back your insults.
Excuse me.
Let go of my mother. Let me go! Let me go back!
I've promised Ip Man. I won't let anything happen to both of you.
Going back is too dangerous.
I heard that a Japanese is having a duel with a Chinese.
Who is it?
Ip Man!
Look at this place, it's all sealed up
I used to hope that he accompany me everyday.
That's why I reprimanded him and his martial arts practice.
Every time he fights with someone I would throw my temper.
I've never really supported him to do what he likes to do.
Now, this may be his last fight.
I am afraid there won't be a chance from now on.
Why don't you give me that chance?
Why?
General Sanpo says, he wanted to strengthen Sino-Japanese Cultural exchange.
Today, with Master Ip here, will be a fair fight.
Exchange of ideas. Friendship through martial arts.
To realize Sino-Japanese peace.
Fair fight!? Really sounds good, huh?
Look at that traitor's face! Sooner or later he will be killed by the Japanese.
You're right!
Master Ip is coming.
What did General Sanpo spoke to you about? Talk about the fight?
I really don't care.
Listen carefully! If you win the fight,
I will kill you immediately with my gun.
Remember!
Yes.
Please, don't win the fight with Sanpo.
If you win, he will kill you.
Be careful for your life. That is most important.
Martial arts may be a form of brute strength
but in our Chinese martial arts system it includes many ideals and philosophy.
Martial arts rules, which is also compassion. To help others.
This is what you Japanese will never never understand
because you use this strength
and change it into brutal power to terrorize others.
That is why you are not fit to learn Chinese martial arts.
