"Yip Man" is the first film and television work to record the life of Yip Man. Adapted from the real-life story of Yip Man, the mentor of Bruce Lee, it tells the magnificent tale of Yip Man's transformation from a martial arts enthusiast, devoted to the pursuit of martial freedom, into a national hero who fearlessly resisted Japanese oppression during the chaotic early years of the Republic of China. Themes of teacher-student relationships, love for family and country, and hatred for the enemy are intricately woven into the tightly-paced storyline, vividly presenting the joys and sorrows of a great era to the audience.

However, good times did not last long as the Sino-Japanese War broke out, leading to the fall of Foshan. The Yip family mansion was forcibly occupied by the Japanese, forcing Yip Man to relocate his wife and children to a dilapidated house. Life became arduous for the Yip family, but Yip Man faced it positively, changing his attitude as a wealthy young man and working at a coal factory to be self-reliant. While the Chinese people were quietly toiling away, a group of Japanese soldiers came to cause trouble, with an interpreter accompanying their chief, Satō, who turned out to be Li Zhao, the former Foshan patrolman!

General Sanpu of Japan was obsessed with martial arts, so he offered rice as a reward to invite Chinese people to spar with the Japanese in the arena to observe Chinese martial arts. Yip Man’s friend, Wuchi Lin, insulted Sanpu in the arena and was brutally killed! In search of Wuchi Lin, Yip Man went to the arena and upon entering, witnessed Master Liao being unreasonably shot by Satō! Overwhelmed with grief, Yip Man unleashed his anger in the arena, fighting ten Japanese soldiers alone and severely punishing them! Sanpu greatly admired Yip Man's skills and expressed his anticipation for a battle with him.

Sanpu led his troops to the cotton factory to capture Yip Man, demanding that he teach Chinese martial arts to the Japanese. Unwilling to become a traitor and determined to restore the dignity of the Chinese people, Yip Man openly challenged Sanpu, aiming to awaken the unity of the Chinese with his fists. Highly confident, Sanpu accepted the challenge to protect his reputation. To ensure Sanpu's victory, Satō secretly set up an ambush, leaving Yip Man unaware of the impending danger as he fought Sanpu's karate with Wing Chun on the stage, engaging in an intense and fierce life-and-death battle...
