At that time, Chen Huashun was very old, and his age was 40 years younger than that of yeman. Therefore, yeman was also called Huagong. Chen Huashun loved his young disciples very much. Since he accepted yeman as an apprentice, he no longer accepted anyone to learn skills. Yeman became a disciple of Chen Huashun. His elder martial brothers, such as Wu Zhongsu, Chen rumian and Lei Ruqi, took good care of them. After the death of Duke Hua, IP MAN studied boxing with his elder martial brother Wu Zhongsu. When he was 16 years old, he left Foshan and went to Hong Kong to study foreign languages. He studied in Saint Stephen's school. Later, he followed Liang Bi (the son of Liang Zan) to learn martial arts. In 1950, he went to Hong Kong to teach Yongchun boxing in the Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel Staff Association, which made him famous. Become a real Kung Fu talent and a great martial artist. He died in Hong Kong on December 1, 1972. In addition to the members of the Federation and branch, Chinese workers from Hong Kong and Kowloon, his apprentices also include foreign students in Hong Kong. With the help of one person, Yongchun boxing can be popularized all over the world, so it was recommended by the disciples as a great master Ye Wen. His real name is Ye Jiwen. He is from Foshan, Guangdong Province, ranking second in the family. His ancestral home is Fuxian Road, Foshan. He is known as "Mulberry Garden" and a great master in Foshan. The mulberry garden occupies a large area. The big house stretches several streets, and the gate is on the left. It is a famous teahouse in Foshan (commonly known as "Mulberry Garden") Hong Kong Style Tea "Taoyuanju", next to the most famous cake shop "gongxinglong" in Foshan, is famous for sesame cake. "Sangyuan Ye surname" in Foshan, it can be said that no one knows.

In this era, Chinese people were regarded as the sick man of East Asia by foreigners. Even at the entrance of the park, there was a sign that said: "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter". For the sake of national justice, IP man fought for China many times and fought against injustice. Gu got to know Liang Bi, the son of Liang Zan, so he was predestined to study Wing Chun boxing with Liang Bi. In a twinkling of an eye, two or three years passed With the constant guidance of experts, the skill of Yongchun boxing has entered the realm of perfection. In the early years of the Republic of China, Foshan, known as China's four major towns, was popular with "autumn color" parades every year to show its special national skills. Every year, the parades were full of people and tourists from other places. In a "autumn" parade, IP man and his cousin watched the "autumn" parade together. Suddenly, the commander of the military hair valve platoon made impolite behavior to his cousin. At that time, IP man was wearing a long shirt and thin soled velvet shoes, which looked like a prince's grandson. He was not tall. He was gentle and looked like he could be bullied. He was so timid to convenience that he wanted to move his cousin At this time, he was suddenly marked by Yewen's progress. He used his usual Yongchun technique to fight at the same time. That is to say, he saw that the local warlord who had always oppressed the people fell to the ground on the spot, but he was suddenly defeated by a gentle scholar. He didn't want to swallow this tone. He was even more vicious. He stood up and drew his gun. At that time, Yewen turned his horse and came up with a quick way to hold his hand Holding the other side's revolver and pressing the revolver's wheel with the power of his thumb, he bent the light core of the revolver so that it could not be fired. After the Japanese army captured Foshan, yeman's excellent kung fu was heard by the Japanese gendarmerie. He wanted to be invited to be the Chinese martial arts coach of the gendarmerie. However, he had always insisted on national justice. Of course, he refused to be invited by the Japanese gendarmerie. In a rage, the Japanese gendarmerie appointed martial arts experts to compete with yeman. It was said that if yeman was defeated, he would obey the orders. When he could not refuse, he had no choice When he accepted the contest, he was tall and strong, with heavy fists and strong horses. Yip man put out Yongchun's stake hand and clamped the sheep and horses with two characters. He looked at the opponent, but did not say a word. He lured the soldiers to block him. The opponent took the lead and marked the horse with an arrow. Yip Man changed the stake hand of the forward into a tiller, tilled away the opponent's arrow, and at the same time turned to kneel the horse, straightened the opponent's front leg and then knelt down, forcing the opponent to lose his center of gravity, right Fang didn't win, but he was defeated. IP man accepted his horse in time and jumped out of the competition. He was really a master. After the war of resistance against Japan, although he had a lot of martial arts skills, he gave up to set up a school to teach apprentices. He worked in the criminal unit of the county government and was responsible for eliminating the tyrant. He personally cracked the robbery of Fo Shan Sha Fang and personally arrested the robbers in Sheng Ping theater on Sheng Ping Road, which was appreciated by his superiors Zhou City served as the patrol captain of the Southern District.

In 1949, IP man came to Hong Kong and was recommended by his good friend Li Minzhi. He met Liang Xiang, the president of the hotel association. Liang Xiang was also a martial arts enthusiast. He once learned that IP man was Chen Huashun's disciple of Yongchun boxing. He was invited to teach his skills in the Street Hotel Association in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon. At that time, besides Li Min and Liang Xiang, there were Luo Yao and others His nephew Lu Wenjin and others are less than ten. Li Min and ye Wen have long been friends and teachers. Later, ye Buqing and Xu Shangtian... Because of the increasing number of people seeking skills, most of them were from Kowloon bus. Because of the continuous learning of Wing Chun skills, in order to have more space and venue, IP MAN repeatedly moved to Lee Tat street, Lee Cheng Uk village and Hing Yee building in Kowloon. He also took part in the evening teaching at Hollywood Road in Hong Kong, making Wing Chun skills popular in Hong Kong and Kowloon Every corner.

Bruce Lee joined Yip Man in the Lida Street martial arts school around 1956. He was really devoted and never missed classes. However, because he immigrated to the United States, it was a pity that he could not learn all the boxing techniques in a row. After the development of Bruce Lee, he once paid a personal visit to master ye again, hoping to learn the wooden man pile technique of Yongchun boxing. At the cost of one building, he asked Mr. Ye to demonstrate all the Yongchun wooden man piling techniques himself, which was filmed by Li and brought back to the United States to study by himself. However, he was rejected by IP Wen. Some disciples thought that the master could not accept Bruce Lee's excellent conditions, which was a pity. However, Mr. Ye's own wish was to only ask the scholars to devote themselves to learning techniques, and then teach them with all their strength, and never regard Kung Fu as a commercial house For sale, the most important thing is not to favor one over the other. This kind of style is loved by his disciples.

At the age of 70, IP man's skill is not inferior to that of his youth. At the peak of robbery in Hong Kong, when he was walking at night, there were hooligans and robbers. He thought that the old man could be bullied and wanted to rob with a knife. As soon as the dark shadow appeared, he suddenly saw two big men fall to the ground one after another, and the knife holder was kicked several feet away.

In addition, in terms of personal interests, in addition to drinking tea with his third or fifth disciples or friends in the teahouse every day, he occasionally comes to several circles of health sparrows. Luo Yao is one of the sparrows' feet. In addition, in midsummer, IP man likes to visit cricket fighting. The reason is that the crickets in Guangdong are very brave and good at fighting. Unlike the crickets in Taiwan, they will win when they fight. As a result, the two crickets can fight for dozens of rounds, and even if their spleen is broken, they still fight bravely, which is more enjoyable than the arena fight. In addition to fighting crickets, dog fighting is also a good thing. As for IP man's watching dog fighting, most of them were visited by another martial arts expert. He is master Liang Jiafang, the snake shaped craftsmen. He and IP man are both good friends in the martial arts and fellow villagers. They can be said to be close friends.
