Is the plot of IP Man's movie a true story?

One Piece: Ye Wen is the first master in Foshan Wulin. Often learn martial arts from local martial artists and defeat northern martial artists who come to make trouble.

Truth: Polly said that Ip Man really likes to learn martial arts from all the martial arts experts in his family. But as for whether it is "the first", Ye shows that his father never cared about these empty titles. At that time, China practiced martial arts, and the northern martial arts people kicked the pavilion south, which was defeated by Ip Man. It did happen, but Ye Zhun can't remember the details. There should be artistic elements in the film.

In the second movie: Zhou Qingquan, played by Yam Tat-wah, is a cotton mill owner and Ye Wen's best friend. They help each other.

Truth: Ye Zhun claims that this is true. It is worth mentioning that Ip Man refused to accept his apprentice because he was "afraid of trouble". During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, great changes have taken place in Ip Man's thoughts, so he started his career in Zhou Qingquan's cotton mill for the first time, and Zhou Guangyao, Zhou Qingquan's son, naturally became a big disciple of Ip Man.

Three movies: Lin Jiadong's Li Zhao pointed a revolver at Ip Man, and Ip Man held the opponent's pistol, and directly pressed the revolver wheel with the power of his thumb, even bent the light core of the revolver, making it impossible to launch.

Truth: Ye Zhun can't remember this detail. Polly said it was based on an anecdote. In the early years of the Republic of China, Ip Man and his cousin went to the streets and were molested by a warlord platoon leader. Ip Man used this trick to subdue the other side.

Four movies: After the Japanese invaders invaded, Ip Man worked hard to support his family.

Truth: Polly told reporters that it is true that IP Man's living standard has plummeted, and Ye Zhun also said that it is "miserable", "life is very bitter" and "I have to worry about food every day". However, the part of IP Man doing coolies in the film is fictional. In addition, in order to meet the needs of the plot, a scene was created in which a China martial arts master and a Japanese soldier had a meal.

Five movies: IP Man competed with Japanese soldiers, shot when he won, and was sent away by Zhou Qingquan.

Truth: Polly said that IP Man's kung fu was worse than that in the movie. Everyone even gave this contest a name, called "less than one minute", which means that IP Man completely defeated his opponent in less than one minute. However, the truth is that IP Man escaped under the cover of everyone. In order to show IP Man's national integrity, Polly changed "escape" to "get shot". After IP Man temporarily left Foshan, he helped me to work behind enemy lines until War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression won.
