Assisted by his good friend Zhou Qingquan the wounded lp Man and his wife
successfully escaped from Fo Shan.
Here we are, Brother lp.
Sorry for all the hassle.
Not at all. We're from the same village.
lt's been vacated for a few months only.
l talked to the neighbors. They're very nice.
Thanks so much, Kan.
See if it's suitable for your martial club.
lt's pretty spacious. ls it big enough?
Enough.
lt's very spacious.
Day 8
Master lp.
You haven't recruited any pupils today?
What's the matter, Auntie?
lt's a big space. Can l dry my clothes here?
Please go ahead.
Wing Cheng.
l told you to leave the heavy stuff to me.
You're pregnant. You shouldn't do that.
There'd be no more water if I waited for you.
Next time l'll be back sooner, all right?
l told you not to exhaust yourself.
Are you all right? Feeling better?
Mom, l need to pay my school fees in two days.
Wait.
Who is it?
Time to pay your rent! Mr. lp! Mrs. lp!
We don't have enough money. Don't open the door.
Mr lp! Mrs lp!
Day 9
Still no pupils yet today, Master lp?
l'll dry my clothes then.
Auntie.
Let me help you.
You help me?
lt's no big deal.
Thanks.
Hello!
You teach Wing Chun?
Master! Someone wants to learn martial arts!
You want to learn martial arts?
Just checking out.
l don't know what Wing Chun is.
Let me give you an introduction.
As a matter of fact, Wing Chun...
is a close combat style from the South...
No need to tell me all these.
Let's fight. l'll pay you school fees if l lose.
OK.
Wing Chun, Ip Man.
So?
You haven't beaten me yet.
Do you accept defeat?
Accept for what?
l've no idea what you're doing.
Do you now?
Master lp, l never knew you're so great!
lncredible!
Young man, hurry and accept him as your master!
I think it's time to pay the school fees now, right?
Why are you leaving, young man?
What now, Master lp?
You finally got a potential pupil
but now he's gone!
That's him.
Can this uncle be that good at martial arts?
Are you kidding me?
He looks totally harmless.
I thought he was a laundryman if you didn't tell me.
You're not really here to learn martial arts.
Please leave.
OK. We're challenging you to a fight.
No need to take it off.
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
Ip's hand.
l told you not to take your clothes off.
Master!
I'm Wong Leung. Please accept me as your pupil!
ln that case...
Master!
l'm Tsui.
- Ngai. - Wong Kwun.
Please accept us as your pupils!
l'm his first pupil. You have to call me Big Brother.
Pour some tea for the Master.
No need!
Pay your school fees first.
Wing Chun combines defense and attack.
You attack and fight
to beat your opponent as quickly as possible.
Look! This is "Dispersing Hand."
"Dispersing Hand."
Simultaneous defense and attack.
Got it?
Who is Master lp?
- Master! - Master!
Leung! Did you ask them to come?
Master, can you beat ten people at once?
lt's better not to fight.
Continue your practice.
What if so many people comes charging at you with weapons?
Run away.
You should collect school fees from them.
l know.
You say that all the time.
l'll collect them later.
Everyone, stop for a minute.
What's the matter?
- Master. - Master.
lt's time to pay your school fees.
What is it?
Time to pay your school fees.
Whoever with cash can pay me first.
- Master... - Master...
Master, l'll pay 2 dollars first.
My mom is short of cash.
So l'll pay the rest next time.
Next time, then...
Master, l only have this much...
Next time.
Go home and eat.
Thank you, Master.
So little! What should we do?
l can't help it.
You know the economy is bad.
When my pupils ask me to help out,
as their master, l can only agree.
We better ask the landlady to cut us some slack.
Sure, ask her to cut us some slack.
l help you, you help me.
Everything will be OK, right?
Excuse me, two pieces of cake, please.
Do you want an egg tart?
No thanks.
- Don't move! - Stop right there!
You dared to steal a roast duck?
You asshole!
Stop eating! Give it back to me!
- Stop beating him! - Pay up!
l don't have the money.
l'll take your dad if you don't pay up.
No, please let him go.
- Give me! - No!
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop beating him! What's the matter?
He stole our roast duck!
l'll pay for him!
- Hand it over! - l'll pay for him.
Let's go.
Quan!
Uncle Man, l know where my dad is.
Take me to him!
He's here.
Quan.
He can't recognize anyone, Uncle Man.
The Japanese had put a bullet in his head.
He can't recognize who you are.
Quan.
Quan, l'm lp Man. Quan!
- Get away from me, you Jap! - Quan!
Get away from me, you Jap! Go away!
Let's go, Uncle Man.
lt's my fault.
- lt's not your fault, Uncle Man. - lt's my fault.
Let's go.
He rather be homeless than comes with me.
So l stay here to keep him company.
When l manage to work at a restaurant,
l can give him some leftovers to eat.
Otherwise, he would have to starve.
Don't worry, Yau.
We'll take care of your dad together.
l'll employ anyone recommended by lp.
lf you're willing to write for half the wages,
you can start right away.
No problem.
Wait here. l'll find someone to give you some work.
Please stay, lp.
Let's have some tea later.
Thank you!
You're welcome. Take a seat.
All right.
Thank you, Uncle Man.
You have to work hard, Yau.
l will.
Wanna learn martial arts? l'll take you there later.
l learn Hung Kuen. Why should I learn from you?
lf you're not here to learn, then why did you tear off my bill?
l don't give a shit who you are.
Your bill was on top of my poster.
Want to know what Wing Chun is?
You want me to beat you up?
One on one. l'm not going to bully you.
You guys don't interfere.
OK!
And also, don't...
Cut the bullshit. l'm in a hurry.
Do you accept defeat?
No!
No?
Do you accept defeat?
The "Dispersing Hands" should stay in the center.
Relax.
Relax more.
Who is lp Man?
What's the matter?
Your pupil Wong Leung has injured our man.
He's in our hands.
Go pay your ransom in the fish market, Lee Hung Kee.
Let's go!
Lee Hung Kee
Kei!
You are his master?
Correct.
Mr...
l think it's just a misunderstanding.
Let's talk.
Can you release my pupil first?
Release him!
Leung, are you all right?
l'm fine.
Why did you injure him?
He wanted to fight but wasn't as good as me.
l couldn't really help it, could l?
What did you say? l'm not as good as you?
Take it easy!
You're both young men.
lnjuries are inevitable in friendly fights.
l'll visit your master and explain to him.
May l know who your master is?
Doesn't matter. He's better than you anyway.
By the way, did you bring the ransom?
No.
Take it easy.
Beat him up!
Master! Watch your back!
Kill him!
Master.
Come!
Leung!
Master! l'm here!
So you really can fight ten men at once.
Wait till we have escaped first.
Follow me closely.
Follow me closely!
Leung, let's go!
Go!
Jin?
Don't move!
What are you doing?
Master lp,
you guys can go.
Thank you.
Fuck you!
What's going on?
Master.
Have you caused trouble again?
No, Master.
We were fighting...
and he brought his Master to cause trouble.
Jin!
You think you're in charge here?
Not at all.
Mr Hung, let's talk.
You're armed but you want to talk?
No, no.
This son of a bitch stirred things up on my turf.
That's why l...
Where's your turf?
This road is mine, that shit road of yours is too.
Come, say it again.
Whose turf is this?
lt's all Mr Hung's!
Get lost! None of your business here!
Which school are you from?
How are you, Mr Hung?
l'm lp Man...
from Foshan Wing Chun.
That's how it happened...
Your pupil and mine had a friendly fight.
My pupil was too strong and injured yours,
but he...
You mean Wing Chun is better than Hung Kuen?
l didn't mean that, Master Hung.
Who permitted you to teach martial arts?
Do you know the rules?
l really don't know the rules.
You don't know? Let me tell you then.
You are to be open to anyone's challenge.
lf you aren't beaten when the incense burns out,
then you are qualified to teach.
Those are the rules of the martial clubs.
You understand?
Cut the crap.
Martial clubs have rules, so do police stations.
l'm arresting you for injuring others.
One, two.
Cuff these two bastards and take them back.
l have another pair here. Take him too.
Me?
Master!
- Go. - Go.
Go.
Take your stuff. The foreigner is waiting.
Sir.
My friends!
Welcome, have a seat.
You have a little something for me?
Your money stinks.
But l like it.
So how is the boxing competition going?
We sold a lot of ticket.
lt sells very well, no problem.
Well done.
What about manpower and security?
He asked you about manpower and security.
All taken care of. No problem.
Great. Thank you.
What will be my cut in this competition?
You go out first.
Let me handle it. l know how to negotiate.
How much should we give him, boss?
You tell me. l'll tell Master Hung.
l'm not gonna talk about that now, thank you.
You've done well, that's all.
Don't worry. The cops are just showing off.
Everything will be fine after the bail.
Master Jin, so sorry to have involved you today.
So sorry to have involved you today.
Wait.
This ear has been deaf since it's hit by your rod.
What did you say?
l said so sorry to have involved you today.
That's all right.
lf you hadn't hit me with a rod
at the cotton mill that year,
who knows what l'd be doing in Hong Kong.
Police! Open up!
Open up!
What's the matter?
Is Ip Man's family here?
l am his wife.
Your husband's arrested for injuring others.
Bail him out as soon as possible.
Mr Leung!
What is it?
You have to save my husband.
l'm short of cash to bail him out.
Hold on.
lt's a pain to open martial clubs in Hong Kong!
Too many schools, masters, and rules.
And then there's this Mr Hung.
He has too many men, pupils, and money.
So what? You wait and see.
l'll have my revenge.
When l'm out, l'll smash his fish stalls
and poison all his fish.
Don't you see
you sound exactly like them?
Kid.
You were quite fierce when you fought.
Who's the kid?
- What make you think l'm a kid? - Leung!
Watch your attitude!
Master Jin is your senior.
That's OK. He's a young man after all.
Look at him. He's just like me in the past.
lf you want him to be good, find him a wife.
Like me,
a family with a wife and kids
will make one down to earth.
l want to bail my husband out.
Who's your husband?
lp Man.
Do you have the money with you?
Yes.
lp Man.
You can go now.
Hurry up!
l'm here to bail out Jin Shanzhau.
Honey!
Brother, open the door for me.
Hurry up.
My wife.
Leung,
is your family going to bail you out?
No.
Don't worry, Master.
They will release me in a couple of days.
Go first. Go.
l won't see you off.
Kan,
l need to bother you again.
l want to bail my pupil out.
ls that all right with you?
Brother Man, l don't have enough money.
Master lp.
Hang on.
Honey, do you have cash?
What do you need cash for?
lt's emergency.
You're always like that. No!
Come on, Honey.
Come on.
This is the last time!
Mommy's the best.
Take the cash, Master lp.
l'll pay you back as soon as l can. Thank you.
Don't worry!
lt's such a pain to open a martial club in Hong Kong, let's forget about it.
Just visiting other masters. No big deal.
l don't wanna fret over you, like before.
We've gone through everything during the war.
There's nothing to worry about, right?
Don't worry too much. You had a busy day.
Go to bed now.
l fought in similar arenas many times before.
But it wasn't stools underneath.
lt was all knives!
lp Man.
Have you heard of him before?
The name sounds so lame.
No, l haven't.
Who can be better than Master Law?
You're being modest, Master Cheng.
Are you going up later on?
lf you'll go, l'll go.
Let's stop talking
and have some tea.
- Thanks. - Thanks.
Master.
He has arrived.
Masters...
this is lp Man.
He wants to teach martial arts in Hong Kong.
So here he is to welcome to your challenge.
lp Man.
lf you surrender or fall off the desk, you lose.
lf you can stay put when the incense burns out,
l'll call you Master lp.
lf there's no question, let's start.
No way. Walking up like that?
No style at all.
Hello, masters. l'm lp Man
of Foshan Wing Chun, pupil of Chen Huashun.
l'm honored to meet you.
Which master wants to play?
Master Law, what are you waiting for?
Let's see who wants to go first.
OK, l'll go first.
Please!
Be careful, brother!
Master Law, are you all right?
- l'm fine. - Master...
lf it were knives, he would have been dead.
This is not the way.
Go away!
That desk is very slippery indeed.
Thanks for being lenient.
Come on. Don't let him stop!
Master Cheng, your turn.
Please!
Master Cheng, go.
Go.
Master Cheng, the desk is very slippery.
Please!
Good!
Thanks for sparing me.
Thanks for being lenient.
Who else is interested?
Please!
Master lp!
Master Hung!
Welcome to the martial arts society.
Don't forget to pay your monthly fees.
What monthly fees?
lt's a rule. Everyone has to pay.
$100 a month. lt saves all the trouble.
lf anyone still thinks l'm not qualified,
l'm ready to accept more challenges.
But if it's only to satisfy your personal gain,
l cannot accept it.
lt's up to you.
Don't come find me when you have trouble.
You can leave now.
Medicine.
Master, medicine.
You wanna die? Drawing on my newspaper?
l just want the readers to know the content better.
Has the response been bad?
Everyone in Hong Kong is talking about Wing Chun Vs Hung Kuen.
That's awesome!
Keep writing in this style.
My paper depends on you.
Get to work.
Awesome, Yau!
lncredible!
Wing Chun Vs Hung Kuen: No Clear Winner Yet
Don't do your homework. Eat first.
Let's eat.
Please give me some congee, Honey.
You've been eating less lately. Come and eat.
Eat.
Where're you going?
Didn't you see?
l'm going upstairs to wash the tablecloth.
You're really going to wash the tablecloth?
Of course, why would I bring this big bowl?
You think l'm gonna wash my hair?
151, 152...
Where are you going?
To learn Wing Chun.
Wing Chun? There's nothing here!
- The newspaper said that... - That's incorrect! Screw off!
If you wanna learn, learn Hung Kuen.
You assholes! Why won't you let others learn Wing Chun?
You sons of bitches, I dare you to come down!
What are you doing?
Didn't you hear? Come down!
Come down if you have guts!
Come down if you dare!
- Retards! - Are you crazy?
No guts?
They're coming!
What are you doing?
Beat him up!
They've come down.
Take your weapons. Hurry up!
Come out!
This incident affected our neighborhood.
l understand.
We've decided not to lend you the rooftop.
l understand.
l'm sorry.
Sorry, l got to go.
Bye.
Bye, Kan.
Master.
l guess you know already?
We can't practice here anymore.
Master, it's not our fault.
They started it.
They provoked us to go down.
Let's go and reason with him!
Let's go!
Master...
Tidy up the place before you go.
Move the wooden stakes to my place.
- Master... - Master...
Kei.
Everyone's worked hard for the competition.
Share this with everyone.
Thank you, Master!
For you. Thanks.
Thanks for your hard work.
How dare you come here?
l'm here for your master.
Kei.
Go home and rest.
What's the problem?
Trouble at the martial club?
l'm here to tell you though l've lost my club,
l will continue to teach martial arts.
l'm not giving you a goddamn penny!
Don't harass my pupils
or cause others trouble!
lt's you who's causing me trouble now!
You're the one that's not following the rules!
Without me as the go-between with the foreigners,
how can martial clubs here exist in peace?
You choose to compromise with the expats.
lp Man,
you only care about yourself.
You don't have 200 men to feed.
You can ignore the foreigners and play noble.
l know your feelings. We're trying to survive.
But as masters,
we should teach our pupils well.
My conscience is clear!
At any rate...
if you got any complaints, come to me directly!
Goodbye!
Don't move!
You think you can just leave after bullshitting?
Then what do you want?
We were not done last time. Let's carry on.
Be careful!
Honey, we've been waiting down there for a long time.
The kids are hungry.
Are you guys done with your discussion?
Master Hung,
do you think winning is more important
or having dinner with your family?
What do you want to eat?
We want ice cream!
l'll buy you ice cream after dinner.
l won't hold you anymore, Master Hung.
Goodbye.
Master.
Come in.
Put them there.
Come, put them there.
Why did you bring the wooden stakes back?
They've rented the rooftop to someone else.
So l'm storing them here for the time being.
OK,
go back and rest.
Come here to practice tomorrow morning.
Come here to practice?
Yes! Come earlier tomorrow.
Goodbye, Master.
Master,
can l have a word with you?
Leung, have a cup of tea first.
Come.
Have a seat.
Master, my impulsiveness
has cost you your martial club. l'm sorry.
Come.
Get up. Come.
Get up.
Sit down and we'll talk. Come.
Leung,
how's my martial arts?
Of course it's great.
You can beat so many people by yourself.
What about twenty years later?
ln twenty years, you can beat me easily.
Everyone will get old.
No one can remain No. 1 forever!
Leung, you have great potential...
for martial arts.
But you only focus on...
techniques.
l want you to learn Chinese martial arts,
because they incorporate the Chinese spirit
as well as self-cultivation.
lt's important to be neutral, striving not to strive.
Do you understand?
l'm thinking.
You want to hear a story?
That Jin Shanzhao, Master Jin...
That year...
l whipped his ass with a broomstick.
He came to my house in Foshan to challenge me to a duel.
And he broke everything,
making my wife really mad.
Look, martial arts!
Yes.
I'll teach you when you're older.
Let's go.
Master.
Carry on!
What a coincidence!
l just happened to pass by.
What do you want, Master Hung?
l have extra tickets.
You want to go?
lt's western boxing.
Goodbye.
Master Hung.
Your eyes are red. Are you OK?
They've been like that since l woke up.
Perhaps it's the heat. l'll drink some ice tea.
lt's not bad to teach martial arts here.
Move them over here in three rows.
And three rows over there as well.
Hurry up.
So here we are.
Master Hung, come say hi.
l'll introduce you to the boxing champion.
Mr Twister.
He's Chinese kung-fu master, Master Hung.
How are you?
Foreigners like throwing things. lgnore him.
How's your talk with him?
When are we getting our money?
He glared whenever l talked about money.
It won't lead to anywhere.
He asked to be a volunteer this time.
Volunteer?
We closed our fish stalls to work here.
Don't be mad.
We can't afford to piss him off.
Just treat this as a diet and lose some weight.
This is not the first time.
Master Hung.
Sir.
You can refuse to pay,
but my men need to eat, so you have to pay.
Don't discuss money with me now.
What else can l discuss with you? Love?
Who do you think you are?
You collect money for me, you don't share it!
Do as l say,
you are not qualified to make deals with me!
Come.
Sorry, so l'll have judges...
Stop it. The foreigner devil is pissed off.
lf he doesn't pay, we'll just quit!
lf you quit, you quit that fish business too!
l can get anybody to take care of it!
OK! No problem!
lf you quit,
that asshole will take away your fish stalls. Just hang in there.
No way! l've tolerated him too often!
Will somebody get this yellow piece of fat out of here!
You're making too much noise!
Speak human! Stop speaking the Devil's tongue!
You! Get out!
OK! We go!
Thank God the Devil's squeal is gone. Let's go!
We quit. Let's go.
Let's go!
Wait!
Look, many lives depend on you.
Stay and work.
Let's work.
Let's go!
Don't be mad. Let's wait and see
where that fucker will end up.
- Master lp. - Master Hung.
Thanks for your tickets.
The other schools will have demos later.
Ask your pupils to demonstrate their kung fu
so more people will know about Wing Chun.
Sure.
l won't be holding you.
All right, fellas?
Hello there, Taylor. All well?
We prepared a little show for you.
All right, thank you.
- Go get ready. - Get ready.
You go too, both of you.
Go up and demonstrate.
Together.
Isn't this pretty good?
You're paying money to publicize Hung Kuen.
What's all this, some pantomime?
Why are they dancing and screaming?
lt's not pantomime, Taylor.
This is Chinese boxing.
They believe the screaming gives them strength.
Oh, yeah?
Well, let's go and give them something to scream about, eh?
Go for it.
Chinese boxing.
Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like Twister wants to get in on the action.
Looks like Twister is interested in Chinese boxing!
Thank you! Thank you...
Very nice!
Punch me.
Punch... me.
Hit me!
More power! Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Come on!
Now that is power!
So this is Chinese boxing?
You should stick to dancing.
Twister says that Chinese Kung-fu was useless.
Go back to dancing.
- What the hell did you say? - What did you say?
Come on!
Stop beating him! Stop it!
- Carry him out! - Stop fighting! Stop it!
Stop fighting! Stop it!
What should we do?
Relax Fatso! Enjoy the show!
Stop fighting! Stop it!
Stop fighting!
- Stop fighting! - Stop fighting!
Come on!
- Back off! - Everybody, stop it!
Stop it! Calm down!
Stop it! Stop fighting!
Leung...
Master.
Carry him down first.
Help me, Cham.
Slowly, slowly.
Excuse me.
Host! Come here!
We were demonstrating Chinese martial arts.
lf you don't like it, you can leave.
But you should apologize for injuring us!
He wants you to apologize.
What? Apologize?
What is this, some stupid Chinese tradition?
The winners have to apologize to the losers?
If I have to do that, I'd be apologizing everyday!
You want an apology from me, old man?
Then you beat me in a fight right now,
then l'll apologize.
He said, if Master Hung can beat him,
then he'll apologize.
Let me fight with him!
l'll beat him till he apologizes to me!
Kill that motherfucker!
Masters, let me handle this.
Please get down for the moment.
OK! Let's get down!
Fight!
Good!
That's the way!
Stop! Go back.
Break! Break!
You're doing fine.
Master lp. Leung is all right. He's resting inside.
Thanks!
Master Hung!
Are you all right?
l'm fine.
ln the next round, Master Hung,
instead of combating with him, test his midrib.
lt's not that easy.
OK. Go get him.
Fight!
Kick the bastard down!
One, two,
three, four,
five, six,
seven, eight,
nine...
Are you OK? Look at me.
Are you OK?
Ready!
Fight!
Break it up, guys! Break!
Fight!
One, two, three,
four, five..
Are you alright?
Fight!
Shit. Master is out of breath.
Master, sit down and rest.
Good.
He's getting tired. OK.
Stop fighting, Master Hung.
l can't let these foreigners look down on us.
Don't get hurt for your ego!
l can abide in order to survive,
but l can't let them insult Chinese martial arts!
Fight!
Master! Master...
One, two, three,
four,
five, six,
seven,
eight,
nine!
Master!
Are you OK?
Fight!
- Let go! - Master...
Let go!
Master...
Go home, boys!
Master Hung,
you're my most respected master.
Hung Kuen Grandmaster Died in Western Boxing Match
Hung Kuen Grandmaster Died For His Country.
Western Boxing Champion Was a Bully.
Wallace! You've seen what the local newspapers are saying about us?
l asked you to organize one, one boxing competition.
And look at the trouble you got us in!
l'm sorry, sir. l know what to do.
l'll take care of it.
You'll take care of it?
You’d better take care of this.
l do not want to be in the newspaper once more for bullying the Chinese!
lt's alright, sir.
l promise we will have no further trouble from them.
- What's going on? - Sit down!
None of your business. Sit down.
Who's the editor-in-chief?
What's the matter?
Take him back.
Sir!
Open up.
You'd better remember that this is what happens to people who mess with me.
Pull his hands!
No...
Hold him tight!
Sir...
lt's not wise to beat him like that. He will write a scathing report on us.
We better waste him.
l know what to do. Let me handle it.
Fatso! You take care of him!
OK.
There have been a lot of rumors in Hong Kong recently.
This is due to a boxing competition that had been arranged.
Unfortunately, a Chinese boxer rather over-estimated himself
and challenged our champion.
Twister reluctantly accepted the challenge,
and although he held back during the fight,
unfortunately the Chinese boxer was so weak
that he couldn't stand up to Twister's fists.
And after a few punches, he tragically died.
We are sorry for this regrettable accident.
In order to give Twister justice,
l have decided to organize a Chinese-western boxing competition.
Twister will fight the Chinese people
in a fair manner on the stage.
ln order to protect my name and reputation,
l have agreed to fight any Chinese person.
Now from what l hear,
the Chinese like to use these!
And l would like to stick to that tradition.
So l've agreed to fight any challenger
for as long as this thing burns!
And this is a pretty big joss stick,
so it's gonna give plenty of opportunity for any challenger to come forward.
But be warned!
l would not hold back!
By the time this thing has burnt to the end,
there will be no more Chinese boxers, because l would have killed them all!
ln fact, l don't even think that we're gonna need to use this thing
because l doubt that there is any Chinese fella
that has the guts to get in the ring with me!
Chinese burns incense not only to tell the time.
Besides telling the time, what's important
about the Chinese tradition of incense burning
is that it represents our modesty
which is inherent to the Chinese culture.
Mr Miller,
l'm challenging you to a fight.
You're making a big mistake.
Zhun, hurry up.
Don't let the Landlady wait too long.
l'll take you there in a moment.

Hello!
He says "Hello".
By fighting this match,
l'm not trying to prove Chinese martial arts
are better than Western boxing.
What l really want to say is...
though people have different statuses in life,
everybody's dignity is the same.
l hope that from this moment on,
we can start to respect each other.
He says he didn't come here today to prove which is better,
Chinese or western boxing.
Although people have different status in life,
he doesn't believe that one person's integrity is worth more than another's.
He hopes that we could start to respect each other.
That's all. Thank you.
