The plot of "Ip Man 4" is revealed, will you watch it or not?

The story begins in Hong Kong in the 1960s. Ip Man, who was suffering from cancer, raised his son Ye Zheng alone. The influence of his family made the young Ye Zheng also have the heart to practice martial arts. He often uses force to solve problems, and ultimately cannot escape the fate of being expelled. Ye Wen hid his illness from everyone. In order to give his children a good future, he insisted that Ye Zheng continue to study. But the son did not understand his father's painstaking efforts and insisted on dropping out to learn martial arts. During the quarrel, Ye Man hit his son and the two had a falling out. Ip Man entrusted the child to the care of his friend Police Officer Fei Bo, and went to San Francisco alone to handle his son's studies in the United States.

The story shifts to the United States. After several generations of hard work, the Chinese who came to the United States during the gold rush have gradually established a foothold in San Francisco's Chinatown. However, in the United States before the Civil Rights Movement, various prejudices against people of color were still mainstream. The Chinese in Chinatown had to set up the China General Newspaper Group to keep warm and fight for a living space in the United States. It was against this background that Ip Man set foot on American soil, and what awaited him was not as smooth sailing as he had imagined. President Wan of the Chinese Federation is a third-generation Chinese. If Ip Man wants to enroll his son in school, he must have a letter of introduction from him. Bruce Lee, an early apprentice who came to the United States, hoped to promote Chinese Kung Fu to the world, which ran counter to the ideas of the conservative elders. Therefore, Ip Man's first meeting with the Chinese leaders in Chinatown ended on bad terms, and he did not receive a letter of introduction.

Ip Man had no choice but to turn to his apprentice Bruce Lee for help. At this time, Bruce Lee had already opened a boxing gym and became famous, and he also had many apprentices, including Marine Corps sergeant Hevin (Chinese) and Immigration Bureau staff member Xiao Hei (black). When everyone was having dinner in a restaurant, they were provoked by a karate boxing gym. Bruce Lee beat the opponent into a pig's head, which strengthened his apprentice Hewen's determination to promote Chinese Kung Fu to the US military. Bruce Lee asked a lawyer friend to write a letter of introduction, but was still rejected by the school. The disappointed Ip Man encountered a campus bullying incident when he left school.

In the school cheerleading competition, Ruonan, who loves dancing, became the captain of the school cheerleading team, and she is the daughter of President Wan of the Chinese Federation. The American girl, a contender for the captaincy, was so angry that she found a group of campus gangsters to fix Ruonan. During this period, Xiao Jin cut Ruonan's hair, and Xiao Jin also cut his face with the scissors. Ip Man passed by and rescued Ruonan, but his left arm was pinched as a result. Ye Wen, who sent Ruonan home, met President Wan again. President Wan misunderstood that Ip Man was scheming, and the two started fighting. Wing Chun Ip Man narrowly defeated President Wan of Tai Chi with one hand. Chairman Wan invites Ip Man to fight again at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

The story moves to the Marine Corps barracks. The Chinese non-commissioned officer Hevin hopes to introduce Chinese Kung Fu into training, but is ridiculed by the extreme white supremacist officer Patton. During the confrontation, Hewen, who was new to kung fu, was easily knocked down by the karate instructor Beard. Unconvinced, Hevin expressed his thoughts to his superiors, who also supported Hevin's gradual implementation. His behavior made Patton angry and wanted to prove that Chinese Kung Fu was just a show of force.

Karate instructor Big Beard came to the Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and injured the martial arts masters from various sects. Ip Man had no choice but to take action and beat Big Beard into a pig's head. At this time, President Wan had already written a letter of introduction in the office and was preparing to go to the party. Immigration Bureau officer Dai Jin, who wanted to vent his anger on his daughter Xiao Jin, led people to arrest President Wan and wanted to ban the Chinese Association.

Seeing the pig-headed and bearded Barton, he was completely anxious. He drove to the Chinese Association alone and asked to start training with Chairman Wan, the number one kung fu man in Chinatown. Unable to find the real owner, he beat the beaten boxers again, and it turned out that Barton was the big boss. Patton went to the Immigration Bureau and took President Wan to the military camp. In front of all the soldiers, he beat President Wan into a pig's head and broke one of his legs.

After communicating with President Wan, Ip Man had decided to respect his son's choice. He called to tell his son about his condition and said he would return to Hong Kong after finishing the last thing. Ip Man came to the military camp to challenge Patton. Patton, who had the advantage of age and physical strength, was not a softie. He also saw that Ip Man was injured in his left arm, but after a fight, Ip Man finally won the final victory, bringing honor to the country and winning applause from all the soldiers. .

The story finally returns to Hong Kong, where Ip Man teaches his son Wing Chun alone in the martial arts school. In the end, Ip Man died of cancer in 1972 at the age of eighty-nine, and the story of Ip Man came to an end.

Looking back at this movie, I see that it is in the same vein as the previous three movies. It is all about family and country sentiments and the main line of patriotism. It is just that the conflict of the times has shifted from national peril to racial discrimination. At the critical moment, Ip Man has the courage to stand up. It speaks for the nation and is in line with the current theme of Chinese people's self-confidence. It is full of positive energy and is worth watching. Apart from the main theme, one of the main reasons why the Ip Man series is a blockbuster martial arts film is that it is, in my opinion, related to the fighting style of Wing Chun. It is not fancy, not ink-stained, straight to the point, hearty and hearty, and is very suitable for today's fast-paced lifestyle. Another line in the film is the family line, which explores the collision of thinking between two generations. Adults have to use traditional experience to decide the future of their children, but children have their own preferences. This strong conflict is still the main contradiction in family life. Ip Man's transformation in this process also provides us with a reference. The superior life abroad that he initially thought was not as bright and beautiful as the legend said. He also understood that the moon abroad was not necessarily round, and finally respected Ye Zheng's choice.

In short, the martial arts drama of "Ip Man 4" is intense and exciting, and the writing is exquisite and gripping. It is recommended to watch.
