In 1949, Ip Man, who has been
suffering from chronic gastric
problems, travels alone to Hong Kong
to seek new means of livelihood. He
starts by teaching Wing Chun on the
rooftop of a building which houses a
hotel staff’s general association. He
meets and accepts many new students,
including Tang Shing, Leung Sheung,
Lee King and Chan Sei-mui. During that
period of time, Ip Man’s wife Cheung
Wing-sing also comes to Hong Kong to
join her husband, but returns to
Foshan shortly after because life in
Hong Kong is hard. The couple never
saw each other again.
Ip Man: The Final Fight portrays a
realistic account of Ip Man’s later
life in Hong Kong: he struggles
against the vicissitudes of life; he
insists on pursuing a romance with the
singer Jenny after his wife’s death,
against the wishes of his disciples;
his father-son and master-apprentice
relationships with his elder son Ip
Chun; his thoughts on Bruce Lee, who
would become his most celebrated
student.
