Ip Man, Huo Yuanjia, Zhen Chen and Bruce Lee, what's the arrangement? Are they from the same era? Who has a mentoring relationship with whom?

Huo Yuanjia and Zhen Chen are contemporary, so are Ip Man and Bruce Lee.

Zhen Chen was a disciple of Huo Yuanjia, a martial artist in China in the late Qing Dynasty. Legend has it that he was killed by the Japanese after revenging his master who was killed by the Japanese. In fact, this is just a rumor from outsiders. Zhen Chen did not die, but fled Shanghai, immigrated to the Philippines (there are also rumors that he immigrated to Malaysia), and then went into seclusion.

This legend has been made into movies and TV series many times. Many film and television works depict Zhen Chen as five apprentices of Huo Yuanjia.

Ip Man 1950 went to Hong Kong to teach Wing Chun in the Hong Kong Kowloon Hotel Staff Union. 1954, Bruce Lee took Ye Wen as his teacher, studied Wing Chun boxing, set up a stake at home and practiced against it every day.
