From Yip Man & Wing Chun Kuen

It's wierd to name such kind of a patriotic movie with - IP Man, but if you aware of Catonese a little, it's easy to understand cause IP equal to "Yip", and after internet browsing, the English name of this admirable grandmaster of the famous Wing Chun Kung Fu is exactly "IP MAN".
"Ip Man" is a martial arts semi-biopic film that is based on the life of Ip Man, The film focuses on events surrounding Ip that took place in the prefecture-level city of Foshan(Guangdong province, China - at that time, Foshan thrives as the hub of Chinese wushu) between the 1930s to 1940s during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Things I learnt from this movie:
1. Be proud to be a Chinese, regardless where you are, especially when you face the whole world.
无论何时何地,做一个自豪的中国人.
2.Strengthen yourself, physically and mentally, union is strength.
在身体和心灵上强壮自己, 团结才是力量.
3.Be brave when facing the invaders, dont surrounder till the last second.
不轻言放弃.
4.Act serenely, Silence is gold. Think before act! Look before leap!
遇事冷静,沉默是金,三思而后行.
