Why did you stop?

I get hungry when I exercise

So I need to exercise less, okay?

Got it. I won't play outside from now on

You'll only stop playing today. Go eat

Hurry up and eat

This congee is a bit too thick

But you need to eat some

Be careful it's hot

How much rice is left at home?

Don't worry

I've pawned everything worth pawning

I am strong. I can look for a job

It's not the end of the world

You look for a job?

I didn't need to work. But it's different now

There's always a first time

We have enough people here

We don't need to hire more. Sorry

Boss, are you hiring?

No

Thank you

You want to hire me, Boss...

Boss...

You, you, you... Come up here...

You want to hire me, Boss...

Here

You're looking for a job, Master Ip?

Come, come up...

Thank you

Brother Ip!

You can't dress like that to work

I didn't expect to pour coals here

How are you, Master Ip?

How are you?

How are you, Master Ip?

So many martial club masters here?

The boss here used to practice martial arts too

That's why he likes to employ martial artists

By the way, are you still practicing?

I'd rather used my time to scrape a living

I can't finish it all. Help me, okay?

Eat some

How're your wife and son?

They're fine. Thank you

Did you find your brother?

I couldn't locate him since he left

Don't know if he's still alive

I don't even have the chance to say sorry

What have you lost?

I lost an iron box

What iron box?

Japanese solders are coming!

Dear workers

This is Colonel Sato

He appreciates Chinese martial arts

He knows Fo Shan is famous for martial arts

He wants to find Chinese martial artists

to fight with the Japanese

Would anyone want to go?

Would anyone want to go?

Would anyone want to go?

Master?

You want us to be sandbags?

There's no door, I tell you!

Airhead

Whoever that wins will get one sack of rice

Whoever that wins will get one sack of rice

I'll go!

Lin...

Don't get into trouble

I'm going too! Me too!

They took all our rice. Now I can get them back

The world is fair

Forget it

Help me find the iron box

Let's go. It's okay. Come

Be careful

Come, let's line up

Come, come, come...

Anything else?

No, let's go Yes!

Master?

General

Thank you, General!

Got to beat them all

Let me join in the fun

They're not good enough for General Miura

I'll show the Chinese what Japanese kung-fu's like

Find three men to fight with me

Give them rice even if they lose

Yes, sir!

I've done you a favor again

General Miura will fight with three of you

You can get rice whether you win or not

The rice is not important. I just wanna beat them

Who will be going?

I will...

Let go of me... Stop shouting!

Lin, you and you... The three of you

Okay!

You've spit blood. Stop fighting

We've lost

General, they admitted defeat

Your really wanna die?

You a**hole!

Lin, how are you? Lin...

Lin...

Were you tired today?

Pouring coal is not tiring at all

I saw Lin today

Really? How is he?

Not bad

I didn't expect to see him again

Master Li, Master Hong

Master Ip

Did you see Lin?

Lin? No

No, I didn't

Let's eat first

Lots of us received rice yesterday

General Miura was very satisfied.

Anybody wants to go today?

Anybody? Li...

Li...

Where's Lin?

Anybody wants to go?

I'm asking you. Where's Lin?

I don't know

Of course you do. You took him away

Anybody wants to go?

You'll get rice if you win

Me!

If Master Ip is going, I'll go too!

Me too!

I wanna have a good fight with the Japanese

Anything else I can do?

No, you can go

Thanks

Can I fight three more people?

He said he wanted to fight three more people

That's it for me...

Why did you open fire?

Li! Why did you open fire?

Li! Why did you open fire?

Who let you open fire?

He took the rice even though he's lost

so... I wanted to teach him a lesson

This place is for tournaments only

Never open fire here anymore

Got it!

Please calm down, General Miura

I'll arrange the next tournament for you

Continue!

Who else wants to fight?

Me!

Li! Open the gate!

Master... Open the gate!

Tell me, was Lin beaten to death?

Open the gate

Master...

Open the gate!

Please open the gate

I wanna fight ten people!

You crazy? Please don't

I wanna fight ten people!

He said he wanted to fight ten people

Ten?

Yes

Let's see how good he is

Unit 5!

Unit 1, Unit 3, Unit 5

Start!

Be careful

Stay back!

Come back again

He wants you to come back again

I'm not here for the rice

He said... he would come back

What's your name?

He wants to know your name

I'm just a Chinese

His name is Ip Man

Be careful in the future

I don't know what Miura might do

Lackey!

Why am I a lackey?

Their deaths got nothing to do with me.

I'm just an interpreter

I need to scrape a living too!

Scrape a living?

You watch your countrymen get beaten to death.

Where's your dignity?

I don't have any

You do. You have lots of it

If you have the guts, go beat them up!

Beat as many as you can!

I'm an interpreter, not a lackey...

I'm a Chinese!

I'm back

Daddy

You're back?

Have you been good?

Yes

Good boy

Are you tired today?

Go wash your face first

You're so good

I realize today I'm useless

I can't do anything

I practiced marital arts before

But so what?

This world...

is minuscule

I'm so useless

I don't care what the world is like

I only know I'm very happy now

As long as you, me, and Zhun...

can stay together, everything will be okay

It's essential for a family to stay together

Get off! Get off!

Get off...

Stand over there! On the side!

Stand over there...

Who's the boss? Come out!

I am

I just took your goods. You can buy them back

Is that okay?

I don't have money

Don't beat my dad anymore!

Wing Chun?

Damn it! Wing Chun?

Don't beat him!

Do you have money?

I don't

Do you?

No...

I'll keep beating you till you have!

The goods haven't been sold...

I don't have money

Uncle Ip! Uncle Ip...

Please save my dad. He's almost beaten to death

What's the matter, Yao?

Auntie

Let me go see what happens. It's okay

I'm very reasonable

It's fine if you don't have money now

I'll give you some time to raise it

As for the goods, I'll keep them for now

Master Ip

Dad, are you okay?

I'm fine. Go help Uncle Fu

How can I help?

I thought your martial arts were impractical

Now I know it's very useful

I should've learnt some martial arts from you

At least I can defend myself

Uncle Ip, please stay and teach us martial arts

so that we can defend ourselves

Master Ip

You're such an expert. Please teach us

Yes, Master Ip. Please teach us

I'm a businessman

I know nothing other than running a business

I can't protect them, but you can

In peaceful days, it's okay if you refused to teach

But in bad times now, shouldn't you do something?

Teaching martial arts is very costly

Are you paying their fees? You owe me again?

Uncle Ip, I'll be your first disciple

Dad, I wanna be taller

Taller?

Why hasn't Ip Man come back?

I... I don't know...
