Young Master, there is a Master Liao looking for you

This is....

I am the Master of the Liao's Fist

Just opened a dojo in Fuoshan

Congratulations

I heard that your Wing Chun fist is very good

That's why I came here today to get some pointers

Make it another day, okay?

Now is not the right time

Since I am here

and just sparring only, won't take too much time

Let's close the doors and spar. Win or lose, nobody will know

It's not a matter of winning or losing,

I am having my meals right now

Then, I'll wait for you

Master Liao, have you eaten?

Come, join us.

You smoke?

It's okay

How are the dishes tonight?

Good

That is good

Very quick

Uncle Wang, don't clean up the table.

Just close the door first

Master Liao

Please

Please

Are you okay?

I'm okay. I'm okay.

One more time

Then, here I come

Hit!

Hit! Hit!

All hits!

Hit!

Thank you for letting me win, Master Liao

Thank you for the lesson. I've learnt a lot

Same here. Same here

Today's closed door sparring.... Master Ip

Don't worry, it'll never leak out

Thank you very much. I am taking my leave

Do be careful

I am not sending you off

Ip Man's "Heavenly King smashing the tower"

One more time and using the "Four Taels to heave a thousand katis"

that thrown Master Liao's to a thunderous grounding

Isn't that stroke used in Tai Chi Quan?

I heard that Mast Ip practice Wing Chun, right?

Whatever! Anyway, he just push him away with just one hand

Master Liao still did not concede defeat

Later, Ip Man ferociously chased after him and beat him up

But Master Liao after being beaten is still not satisfied

and uses "Hungry Dog snatch faeces" to beat Ip Man

This type of tea leaves is very nice. It's cheap

Do be careful

Thank you

Goodbye. See you again the next time

Uncle Ping, who put this here?

It's your younger brother

Initially I thought Master Liao's kung fu is good

but he didn't even have a chance to attack

Being beaten like a pig's head

He also have a share in our father's teahouse

Always loitering and fooling around

Ask that a**hole to take care of the customers

Good morning

Brother Man

Is Brother Quan is here?

He's waiting for you upstairs

Ah Quan, have you been waiting long?

You are always late

Busy!

Busy with what?

It's always the same.

Eat, drink and kung fu

What's there to be busy about?

This tea is quite fragrant

I am saying you!

Let's order some food

I've something to discuss with you

Eat first, we'll talk later

Fresh from the oven. Come, try it!

I heard them say,

you had a duel with Master Liao

and quickly defeated him

Is that true?

Who told you, Crazy Lin

My younger brother

You should have told me earlier

I've even ask him to be my sifu (master)

You've ask every sifu in town to be your master

Brother Man, did you have a closed door duel?

We've something to discuss. Please go

Then, I will not disturb your discussion

Good morning Master

Good morning Master

Good morning

Master

Good morning

Good morning Master

Good morning

Master, someone said you got beaten by Ip Man

Now, everyone in Fuoshan knows about it

Nonsense, who said it?

Sha Dan Yuan from the teahouse

The cost of things in Fuoshan have risen

So what about it?

That is to say, Fuoshan's economy is good

Everyone have expendable income

Really?

Think about it! Clothes, food, accommodation and travels. Clothes comes first

In future, the demand for cloth will be huge

That is why I want to set up a cotton factory

so that I can supply them to the cloth factory

I want you to be my partner

I am not suitable for business

It's okay, I am suitable

I am not in need money

Who is Sha Dan Yuan? Get the hell out here!

I am

You're the one talking nonsense and ruining my reputation?

Sifu

I want to teach you a lesson today

Sifu Sifu

He's my younger brother. Let's talk slowly

Don't get angry, sifu

Your brother

Your brother is talking nonsense and ruined my reputation

Said I lost to Ip Man in a fight

Tell me, how can I survive in Dojo Street?

How can I open my dojo and take in students?

Sifu! Apologize now!

I am not in the wrong. I just stating facts

You're talking nonsense

Sifu

Ip Man is upstairs. If you've got the balls, go find him!

What! Go!

Sifu, cool down, cool down

Sifu Sifu Don't get angry. Sifu

Master Ip, I've been wronged!

Sifu Sifu

Please, tell everyone

that you have a duel with Master Liao

and beaten him

Master Ip, you must clear my name

Still telling lies!? And troubling Brother Man!

I did not lie

When I was retrieving my kite, I saw them fighting

What a coincidence that your kite broke loose

and landed in Brother Man's garden

and what a coincidence that you saw Master Liao and Brother Man having a duel

and coincidentally, the whole scene was seen by you?!

There is just too much coincidences!

Yes, it's all coincidences

Even if it's true, you can't go around telling everyone

There are some things which one can't admit
