Barton, what country did you immigrate from?

The story began in Hong Kong in the 1960s. Ye Wen, who is suffering from cancer, raised his son Ye Zheng alone. The influence of his family made young Ye Zheng also have the heart of martial arts. He often used force to solve problems at school, and eventually he could not escape the fate of being expelled. Ip Man hid his illness from everyone. In order to let his children have 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 of school to practice martial arts. During the quarrel, Ip Man hit his son, and they quarreled. Ip Man entrusted his child to his friend Fat Cat, a policeman, and went to San Francisco alone to deal with his son's study in the United States.

The story turns to America. After several generations of efforts, Chinese who came to the United States during the Gold Rush have gradually gained a foothold in San Francisco's Chinatown. However, in the United States before the civil rights movement, all kinds of prejudices against colored people were still the mainstream, and Chinese in Chinatown had to set up the All-China Federation to keep warm and strive for living space in the United States. Ip Man set foot on the land of the United States under such a background, and what was waiting for him was not smooth sailing as expected. Chairman Wan of the All-China Federation is a third-generation China native. Ip Man needs his letter of introduction to enroll his son. Bruce Lee, an early apprentice in the United States, hoped to spread China Kung Fu to the world, which ran counter to the conservative ideas of the old-timers. So IP Man's first meeting with Chinese leaders in Chinatown ended in discord and he didn't get a letter of introduction.

Ip Man had to ask his apprentice Bruce Lee for help. At this time, Bruce Lee has opened a boxing gym with many apprentices, including Marine Sergeant He Wen (China) and Immigration Officer Xiaohei (black). Everyone was provoked by the karate boxing hall when eating in the restaurant. Bruce Lee beat the other side into a pig's head, and strengthened his disciple He Wen's determination to promote China Kung Fu to the US military. Bruce Lee asked a lawyer friend to write a letter of introduction, but he was rejected by the school. Disappointed IP Man was confronted with bullying on campus when he left school.

In the school cheerleading competition, Ruonan, who loves dancing, became the captain of the campus cheerleading team. She is the daughter of President Wan of the All-China Association. The captain's competitor, the American girl, is a gold medal, but she has found a group of campus gangsters to repair Ruonan. During this period, Xiaojin cut Ruoman's hair and scratched his face with scissors. Ip Man passed by and saved Ruonan, so his left arm was pinched. The man who sent Ronan home saw President Wan again. President Wan misunderstood Ip Man's scheming, so he got into a fight. Wing Chun Yip Man narrowly defeated Chairman Tai Chi Pill. President Wan called for another battle at the Mid-Autumn Festival party.

The story goes to the Marine Corps Barracks. China petty officer He Wen hoped to introduce China Kung Fu into training, but he was ridiculed by the extreme white supremacy officer Barton. In the confrontation, He Wen, a beginner in Kung Fu, was easily knocked down by a bearded karate coach. He Wen was not convinced. He expressed his ideas to his boss, who also supported He Wen's gradual implementation. His behavior made Barton angry from embarrassment. He wanted to prove that China Kung Fu was just a gesture.

The karate coach Beard came to the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chinatown. After repeatedly injuring martial artists of various sects, Ip Man had to make a move and beat Beard into a pig's head. At this time, President Wan has written a letter of introduction in the office and is ready to go to dinner. Daikin, an immigration officer who wants to vent his anger on his daughter Xiaojin, took President Wan away and tried to ban the China General Association.

Barton, who saw a pig's head and a pig's beard, was completely anxious. He drove to the China General Association alone to find Wan Chang, the first person in Chinatown, to practice. Without finding a suitable owner, he conveniently beat up a group of defeated boxers. It turns out Barton is the big boss. Barton went to the immigration office to take President Wan to the barracks, beat President Wan into a pig's head in front of all the soldiers, and broke his leg.

After communicating with President Wan, Ip Man decided to respect his son's choice. He called his son and told him to go back to Hong Kong after finishing the last thing. Ip Man came to the barracks to find Barton. Barton, who has the advantages of age and physique, is not a soft egg. He also saw IP Man's left arm injured, but after some fighting, IP Man finally won the final victory, which won glory for the people of China and applause from all the soldiers.

The story finally returned to Hong Kong, and Ip Man taught his son Wing Chun alone. Finally, IP Man died of cancer on 1972 at the age of eight or nine, and the story of IP Man came to an end.

Looking back, this film is in the same strain as the last three films, all of which are the main lines of family feelings and patriotism. Only the conflict of the times has changed from national peril to racial discrimination. At the critical moment, Ip Man bravely stood up to speak for the nation, which is also in line with the main theme of China people's self-confidence and full of positive energy. It is still worth seeing. Ip Man series, as one of the main reasons for martial arts blockbusters, is related to the style of Wing Chun Boxing. Not gaudy, not inky, straightforward and bright, very suitable for a fast-paced lifestyle. Another line in the film is the family line, which discusses the thinking collision between two generations. Adults should use traditional experience to decide their children's future, but children have their own preferences. This kind of intense conflict is also the main contradiction in family life. Ip Man's transformation in this process also provides us with reference. At first, he thought that the superior life abroad was not as beautiful as the legend. He also understood that the moon abroad is not necessarily round, and finally respected Ye Zheng's choice.

In a word, the martial arts drama Ip Man 4 is gripping, with delicate words and eye-catching. Suggest watching.
