Rock, paper, scissors!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Where are you off to?

Rock, paper, scissors!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Off you go, young man.

We are not hiring.

Sir, I am really strong

and I know Kung Fu.

That makes you even less employable.

Get out of the way!

Beanie!

Look out!

Now you're all right.

Brother.

Please, wait.

Working hard, Butcher Rong!

Your boss gave you a raise?

Just never tired.

Always full of strength.

Butcher Rong,

come and grab a drink.

I need to get to the customer.

Maybe next time.

Uncle Yao,

your steamed buns smell great.

Stop flattering.

There you go.

Steamed buns for sale!

How dare you!

You want us to pay?

You want money right?

Fine, tell him the amount of his rent.

We have already paid the rent!

I mean the rent for next month.

Just cut it out!

He has paid the rent,

so you need to pay for the steamed buns.

Don't be unreasonable.

That's fine.

Just a couple of buns.

Consider it my treat.

You want to reason with me?

Talk to my fist!

The lost you have cost him

should cover the rent for next month.

Stop being a bully,

or you will have me to answer to.

Master,

it's not a good time to pick a fight.

Stop smiling.

You've caused great trouble.

Uncle,

my cousin's boxing technique

has improved a lot.

Even a butcher

dares to humiliate my Martial Club.

Tsai Jinbao, don't you always think highly of yourself?

Bring a couple more fellows

and teach him a lesson.

I don't mind fighting dirty.

Uncle,

I will not let you down.

Brothers of the Li generation,

follow me!

Yes!

This is why I don't hire people who know Kung Fu.

I don't like getting into trouble.

You have not only offended Tsai but also

the Martial Club of Mou. They are filthy rich

and acts against reason.

It was on me.

As long as you are safe,

I don't mind facing the consequence.

Why don't you leave Guangzhou

and hide away for a while?

Maybe I can survive this.

Rong was just being chivalric.

Why should we be afraid of them?

A child must not interrupt adults.

Just go out and play.

Kiddo,

do you know what chivalry is?

Master Tsai, please forgive us.

He's just a kid.

Now I am going to teach you what chivalry is.

Watch carefully.

Let them go.

Settle it between us.

You want to be a hero, and I will let you be one.

How about that, hero?

You are humiliating all men of martial arts.

Rong!

Did you use this hand to hit me?

You need to pay for what you have done.

If you say no,

someone else will have to pay for you.

Fine.

Take this arm.

As long as you leave them out of this,

you can take what you want.

Deal.

A butcher knife should be enough to cut it off.

Rong! Rong!

Stop!

Butler.

Young Master.

His Master said that

there must have been a misunderstanding.

What are you talking about?

His master also said that

since Brother Lin is a friend of Master Wong,

that makes him His Master's friend too.

Friends should stay

on friendly terms.

Master Wong.

Master Wong,

please forgive us.

My aunt wants someone to rely on as she gets old,

so she keeps the concubine's son as her own.

Because of this,

my father tends to spoil him,

which makes him arrogant.

Tsai is a narrow-minded man.

He is always upset about being a concubine's son

and suspects that others look down on him.

Sometimes he may make a fuss out of nothing.

I suppose

what happened today is one of those cases.

That's why he offended your friend.

It's not that serious, Master Mou.

We are all men of martial arts.

Sometimes our temper may get the better of us.

I am aware that Master Wong likes to make friends,

but I am indeed wondering what makes you

think highly of that butcher guy.

Making friends is all about fate.

Us men of martial arts

should not overvalue fortune or status.

Moreover, I,

Wong Fei Hung,

is nothing but a mere doctor.

I am deeply impressed by the breadth of your mind.

My son Chengwei has always

been an admirer of yours.

I have always admired Master Wong

and wish to learn from you.

If you can kindly tolerate the limit of my talent,

please let me be your student.

I will not disappoint you and

become a man of integrity and competence.

You are way too humble.

Master Wong,

this is a well-aged fleece flower root.

You understand the value of herbal medicine.

I believe you can put it to good use.

I cannot accept this.

I have done nothing to earn it.

Rong's incident has been settled.

As we are of similar minds,

I hope you can guide and support my son.

Uncle Yuan,

who is this Master Wong?

Why did he help me?

You have the nerve to call yourself a Hong boxer.

A butcher like me knows Master Wong

from the Baozhilin Clinic is a great Hong boxer.

You are lucky

to have him save your arm.

He must be great at Kung Fu.

Silly boy,

you know nothing.

Take today's incident.

He chose to help you

even if you don't know him.

This is

what makes Master Wong admirable.

You two think way too highly of me.

Nowadays in Guangdong,

people practicing martial arts

all have heard of you.

Chengwei is a promising young man.

You're are no less

famous than me.

I don't think

I'm good enough to be your teacher.

You don't think my son is good enough?

Not at all.

As I said,

making friends is all about fate.

Finding a teacher is similar.

I suppose it's better

for Chengwei and I

to be friends.

Master Wong

Father,

I was too impatient.

It does seem insincere

to make such a request.

We should give Master Wong some time to consider.

Thank you,

Master.

So long.

I tried my best to butter him up,

but he still turned us down

without any hesitation.

This is such a slap in the face.

He is indeed a Kung Fu master,

but there are others.

You are right,

but he is the one and only Wong Fei Hung.

I want his name.

What does this mean?

You have worked so hard for all these years.

This a gift from His Master.

As a son must be filial to his parents,

it's probably time for you to go home.

That desolate place.

How generous of him.

Not in the least.

There are many schools

and stores opening in your hometown.

You can receive considerable rent.

After sending me away,

Wong Fei Hung will take Chengwei as his student?

Young Master,

your uncle has treated you well.

Don't ruin your relationship.

I will take this.

You keep this for me,

and you can take the rent.

Send this message to him.

I have one request.

Tsai Jinbao,

we can host a Kung Fu battle,

but don't blame us if you get hurt.

Cousin,

I don't mind competing.

Let me know when you want to stop.

I would not blame you even if I die.

Show me what you got.

Good fight.

I hope you get what you want.

Please let me know

if Wong agrees to teach you.

[This is how much talent I have got.]

[Everyone has been lying to me.]

Grandfather,

I have a place in Guangzhou now.

Uncle Yuan is nice to me.

You should be happy for me.

You always told me

Kung Fu alone cannot help me survive.

Now I understand what that means.

You always wanted me to get married,

but I am afraid this needs to wait.

I have my own goal in life now.

With your blessing,

I will become a boxer like Master Wong one day

and bring honor to the family.

Go in.

Don't play with your sling.

Rong,

give us a hand here.

Alright.

Let me.

Where you want it?

There.

Who are you?

Lost, aren't you?

Thank you.

Is that all?

I can help.

That would be all.

When will you need to do this again?

You might as well take Madame Kwan away.

Go home, Rong.

You are embarrassing me.

Alright.

Bye.

Stop laughing.

He's interested in you.

Who's he?

He works for Beanie's family.

It's time for class now.

Rong.

Rong!

Did you lose money?

No.

Look at you, all absentminded.

The pork is ruined.

How can I sell it?

I can't be distracted by love.

I want to be a superb Hong boxer.

Get to work!

Manager,

check, please!

Alright. Coming!

Here is the money.

Alright.

Have a good day!

You too.

Excuse me, please.

Where is the Martial Club of Master Wong?

Only a few steps away.

They are practicing in public. Aren't they afraid

that others may steal their technique?

You don't know Master Wong at all.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

Excuse me,

is Master Wong here?

Do you want to be his student?

He's inside,

but he doesn't like to be disrupted when he is playing chess.

Thanks a lot.

Six.

Seven.

You turned down Master Mou and his son.

You are both men in the martial world.

I'm afraid it may cause tension between you.

You have so many students.

Why did you refuse Mou Chengwei?

My students can be divided into two categories.

One is nominal,

and they learn boxing only for health.

The other is successors.

I teach them the real techniques.

They shoulder the responsibility to inherit

and bring glory to Hong Boxing.

The Mou family are not well-behaved.

As for Mou Chengwei, he needs to be tested.

Mou Chengwei used to be my fiance's classmate,

so I know him a little bit.

He has a great talent for martial arts.

But good morals are as important as talents.

Are you here for me?

Master Wong.

Master Wong, I want to learn from you.

Madam Kwan.

Your figure and walking posture show that you learned boxing before.

From whom?

I learned Hong Boxing from my grandfather.

Just the basics.

I don't have a real teacher.

Catch it.

Barely satisfactory.

I can take you as my student,

but you must get the hairpin from Madam Kwan first.

But Madam Kwan is a woman.

Master Wong,

isn't it too easy?

I have taught you the techniques of dodging and weaving.

You have practiced it for a while.

It is a good opportunity to try it out.

As you wish.

Lin Shirong,

please.

Madam Kwan,

please.

Are you alright, Madam Kwan?

I'm fine.

Sorry,

Master Wong.

This is the best I can do.

I will take you as my student.

Thank you, Master Wong!

Master Wong,

didn't you say that good morals and talents are both vital?

But there is another important factor.

Fate.

I don't quite understand.

I think you are trying to protect Uncle Yuan's family.

It is my honor to have you

as my chess mate.

I have asked the big names of martial arts in Guangzhou

to invite Wong Fei Hung for tea.

He will definitely agree to this.

Father,

I don't want to be his student anymore.

What are you talking about?

I am your son,

that's why others lose to me.

If it weren't for Tsai Jinbao,

I would still be an arrogant fool.

But now I can't deceive myself anymore.

I shall walk my own path.

Don't worry,

I will definitely make him take you on.

Master.

What's wrong?

Wong Fei Hung has invited the big names

of martial arts in Guangzhou

to the Songyue Teahouse.

It's a ceremony for his new student.

Master Wong is a respectable man.

He doesn't care about his student's background.

But some people might not be happy.

Master Wong is open and honest. Who will speak ill of him?

We will see.

Master Wong.

Hong Boxing is famous in Lingnan.

My talent is limited,

but I have spent years practicing

and gained a humble reputation.

I have long had an aspiration

to take a talented and well-behaved student

so that Hong Boxing could be carried forward.

Today I want you all to be my witnesses.

I will officially take Lin Shirong as my student.

Congratulations!

Why in such a hurry?

I'm also a martial artist.

I am only a couple of minutes late.

Why didn't Master Wong wait for me?

Everyone,

my apology.

Master Mou,

please.

Forgive me, Master Mou. Take a seat.

Master Wong,

you believe in education for all.

My son has requested that you teach him for many times

but was always refused.

Now you take a butcher as your student.

Is it because my Martial Club

has offended you?

I hope that you can explain it.

I am terrified by

your question.

Your preference is so obvious.

Do you have any problems with my Martial Club?

Teaching and learning is about the willingness of both sides.

Please take a seat and have some tea.

Your request needs further discussion.

Don't avoid my question.

The guests are waiting!

Martial arts is the essence of China.

Martial artists should be both moral and talented. That's the tradition.

With both characters, everyone has the right

to learn martial arts.

Those with no talents or good morals,

no matter how rich they are,

can never learn from me.

How can you find good morals

in this butcher?

And how is he talented?

Do you want me to take scums like Tsai Jinbao

to be my student?

Master Wong,

do you really want to ruin our relation?

Rong,

start the ceremony.

My son's request is sincere

but you keep humiliating him.

You must give us an explanation today.

You...

What do you want me to do, Master Mou?

I respect you,

so let's settle it in our own ways.

Alright.

In the witness of all my fellows in Guangzhou,

I agree to your advice.

Both of us are elders.

It's not proper for us to fight here.

You are the Lion King,

so my son and Rong shall battle in the form of Lion Dance.

If my son wins,

you shall take him as your student.

If he loses,

I will never mention it again.

Father,

we are here to offer our congratulations.

We can do both.

I can do as you wish,

but please listen to me after the battle, no matter what.

Is it alright?

Master Wong, after you.

After you.

Master,

I know nothing about Lion Dance.

Everything can be seen as one.

The lion is just a form.

Boxing is the essence.

You are the lion,

and the lion is you.

Such integration is the core of Lion Dance battle.

Chengwei,

you are great at Lion Dance.

It's a good opportunity to regain your dignity.

Rong,

too much!

As they are neck and neck,

we shall let the butcher off the hook

in case others may say we are the bully.

Let's go.

Master,

please drink this tea.

Father,

you have promised me the freedom in learning boxing.

I will find you a master

ten times better than Wong Fei Hung.

Forget about it.

We have already made him our enemy.

We are now the laughing stock of Guangzhou.

Son,

you are the future of our Martial Club.

We need you to defeat Wong and his student to regain our dignity.

Can you understand my intention?

Father,

I have thought about it.

I will not learn Hong Boxing anymore.

I will find another path.

Another path?

Do you want to go abroad?

Yes.

You know my ambition.

I will make our Martial Club

the best in Guangzhou.

As for me,

I will surpass Wong,

and become the next legend in Guangzhou.

I am impressed, son.

What an ambition!

You have my support.

After worshiping the gods

and the ancestors,

you are now officially my student.

Master,

I will always keep this in mind.

Hong Boxing was created by Zen Master Zhishan and has been carried forward since.

From now on, I will teach you Hong Boxing and hope that you can

keep expanding its influence.

Setting up good morals is also vital.

Remember this.

Force is used to stop violence,

and good morals consist of benevolence

justice, integrity, cautiousness, and honesty.

Only with good morals

can you become a respectable boxer

and carry forward Hong Boxing even further.

Master, I will do my best.

I will not let you down.

Please guide me.

First you need to control your mind.

Control my mind?

Martial artists must avoid evil, vicious, wicked, reckless and irritable behavior,

so you must learn to control your mind.

Go home.

I'm not sure when I will be back.

I will not return until I fulfill my dream.

Take care of my father.

Tell him to control his temper.

Young Master,

do take care.

Kwan Xin?

Haven't seen you for a while!

Madam Zhang said you are going abroad.

It's no big deal, but my father

insisted on holding a farewell ceremony.

Now everyone knows I'm going.

I shall be ashamed if I achieve nothing.

Sounds as if you are going to the front line.

Actually, I'm here to ask for a favor.

Well, well.

I was just wondering why you started to care about me.

Say it.

What can I do for you?

Could you please buy a pen for me?

I used to have one when I was a student.

Zhongxian liked it a lot

and asked me to give it to him.

I refused.

Yes.

Owning the pen was his biggest wish.

So, please.

Don't worry.

This will be the most important thing to me other than boxing.

I will bring it to you when I'm back.

Rong,

teach me boxing.

You should focus on your study. I don't want you to be illiterate like me.

My elder classmates always bully me.

I can defeat them with boxing.

Shh.

Your grandfather hates this.

I can tell you a secret about Madam Kwan.

If you teach me.

That's fair.

What is the secret?

Her fiance?

I know you like her! Your expressions show everything.

Beanie.

Try this on and see if it fits.

Rong,

look at his.

You have made mistakes in the accounts again.

Oh, hello, Madam Kwan.

Uncle Yuan.

You are so generous and kind to him,

even better than his deceased parents.

Beanie is lucky

to have a teacher like you.

Uncle Yuan,

you are welcome.

Madam Kwan,

it fits!

Sorry, Uncle Yuan.

I can't read. It's all my fault.

You could deduct the lost from my wages.

Don't devote all your time to boxing.

We three all depend on this small business.

You should put some effort into it.

Thank you for coming with me.

He is the one I am not willing to let go of,

and I can never forget him.

Madam Kwan,

I am sorry for your loss.

This reminds me of my grandfather.

He told me before he died

that he would look at me in heaven,

so we must try our best to live a good life.

Rong,

your grandfather never left you,

just as he never left me.

Madam Kwan!

Thank you.

I'm fine.

You are in pain, Madam Kwan.

Let Rong carry you. He's strong.

Why,

what happened, Kwan?

Please be okay.

The kids are expecting their classes.

Butcher Rong,

Madam Kwan is tidy all the time,

Have you cleaned your hands?

See?

Madam Kwan is already taken.

Please don't say that, Madam Zhang.

Rong is just being nice.

See?

Madam Kwan is so cultivated,

and always behave with proper decorum.

Rong,

Do you want to learn how to read?

When the youth become intelligent, so does the nation.

When the youth become intelligent, so does the nation

When the youth get wealthy, so does the nation.

When the youth get wealthy, so does the nation.

When the youth grow to be strong, so will the nation.

When the youth grow to be strong, so will the nation.

When the youth grow to be independent and progressive,

So will the entire nation.

If the youth dominate the world,

our country will dominate the world.

Stop.

From today, we'll learn the Tiger and Crane Double Form Set.

Thank you, Master.

Tiger and Crane Double Form Set

is just like its name,

the techniques developed from tigers

and cranes.

It embodies the flexibility and elegance of the crane

and the ferocity and power of the tiger.

Valiant,

as the tiger attacks its prey.

Agile, as the crane flutters its wings.

You must pay equal attention to the form and the spirit,

power and flexibility,

inside and outside,

as well as strength and agility.

They are the essence of Boxing.

Where are the others?

Master,

they said they wouldn't come back until Young Master returns.

They are now all practicing at Wong Fei Hung's place.

Please don't be mad, Master.

Please don't be mad.

Fine.

Then we'll wait for Chengwei.

What do you want?

To challenge you.

From now on,

This Martial Club

is mine.

You will all obey me.

Chengwei wrote to me that he is coming back!

You now go quickly to the Pine Pavilion to reserve a table to welcome him.

There's another one coming back.

Tsai Jinbao.

I'm surprised that he didn't tell me.

He's all famous now.

Challenging Masters here and there all the time

and winning over Martial Clubs.

I don't know where he learned his Kung Fu but he's brilliant.

He goes by Headbutter Tsai now.

So it is him that won in those Hong Boxing Clubs.

You don't think he will take his revenge on you, do you, Master?

No, I don't think so.

He hates Butcher Rong the most.

The best part is yet to come.

Rong,

That Headbutter Tsai is a big bully.

He's taking advantage of our weak presence here.

He even said that he would only target Hong Boxers.

You should talk to Master Wong.

Master is out practicing medicine

and will not be back within a fortnight.

Who is this guy

and where is he?

He's in my Martial Club now.

It has now become a Martial Club of Tsai.

This Headbutter Tsai is the one you beat up years ago. Tsai Jinbao.

I have this feeling that he is coming for you!

We should wait for Master for this.

Your tenancy has expired.

I'm taking back the land now.

Well, you could have given us a heads-up

for us to get prepared.

Get your hands off my flowers!

What are you doing?

Let go!

Rong,

by the time Master comes back,

I'm afraid that all Martial Clubs of Canton will have been conquered by Tsai.

I'm afraid so!

What do we do?

When Master left, he told me

not to...

Rong! Rong!

Rong, some guys attacked Madam Kwan!

Where is she?

Take me there!

At the school!

You wait for me here.

Tsai Jinbao!

What do you want?

What you lot owed me.

Let go of Madam Kwan!

This land is mine.

And their tenancy has expired.

I have every right to kick them out.

This Kwan has injured my boys.

I can let her go,

but first I'd like to return the favors.

How do you want to do it?

This ring is for you.

If you defeat me today,

you can take this woman and leave,

and consider all bad blood settled.

If you lose,

then I want the arm you owed me.

However,

I'll do you a favor to bury you two together.

And you two can continue your love story there.

Fine.

Bring it on.

Such dirty fighting!

Where did you learn it?

You may see the Centipede Master.

You are a black sheep among us martial practitioners.

So nosy.

Watch this!

Butcher Rong,

A loser is a loser.

Don't hate me.

You've gone too far.

Cousin,

please.

Let them go.

Well, since God helps you today,

I'll spare your lives for now.

Tell uncle

that I'll pay him a visit someday.

Here, have more.

Thanks, you too.

Master, please.

You shouldn't have interfered today.

Tsai was bullying women and children,

I couldn't sit around.

Young Master,

what Master said was for your own good.

If Tsai did hurt Lin Shirong today,

Wong Fei Hung would deal with it.

Then, we could sit aside and watch the fight.

I've been abroad for three years

and learned some brilliant Western Boxing techniques.

I want to bring back Mou's dignity.

Very ambitious!

I'm so glad.

Today we celebrate your return.

Let's talk no more about that.

Do have more.

Young Master, please.

Master,

Tsai Jinbao wants to see you.

Take this medicine, Rong.

I shouldn't have involved you in this.

I am such a useless guy.

A man is like a mountain when he stands,

he is no less strong when he lies down.

Master Wong has once said that

your fists will be steady if your mind is at peace.

You lost because you had failed to calm your mind.

I was being reckless

and forgot what Master had taught me.

My cousin.

There you are.

I came here especially to offer my congratulations

on your coming back.

Isn't it a bit impolite of you to keep me waiting?

My cousin,

please don't hold any grudge against my father.

We are still family, aren't we?

The education you received in the West really makes a difference, doesn't it?

I have long forgotten those unpleasant things.

I heard that you have improved a lot in martial arts.

It seems that

so have you.

I have learned some martial techniques in the West.

Shall we have a competition?

Sure.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Enough.

That's not what a family does.

Chengwei, go and have some rest.

I want to have some tea with Jinbao.

You can leave now.

Master.

Uncle, this time

how much money are you gonna give me to send me away?

Jinbao,

my good boy,

I‘ve always cared about you.

Wong Fei Hung was being so unreasonable last time

that I had no option but to turn you away back then.

I am very glad to see you coming back stronger.

However, you have offended Wong and his student.

I am worried about you.

Is that so?

As long as that Butcher Rong lives, he is a trouble for us.

You want him dead then, my uncle?

Feel free to do your business here in Canton

I got your back.

That's what families are for.

Rong,

you should be resting!

These are the buds I just dug from the mountains.

They are all your favourite flowers.

It's better to transplant them now before they wither.

Things in the past

have left us nothing but pain.

We need to learn to let it go.

Rong,

please calm down and think about it,

will you?

Madam Kwan,

I want to take a photo with you.

With me being like this?

No, I'm afraid I can't.

I wish to cherish these moments with you

forever in my mind.

Shame on you!

You weren't even capable of finding a cripple and his woman!

I'll allow you three more days.

If you still fail to bring them to me,

you can all go to hell.

Yes, Master.

Come and have a look.

Fans for sale!

Will you please take off your veil, Madam?

Madam Kwan,

you are always beautiful, no matter what.

Headbutter Tsai,

you have signed that Consent Form

to be responsible for your own injuries or even death.

No matter what the result is,

neither of you shall pick up fights ever again.

Will you go back on your decision?

No.

Lin Shirong,

sign the Consent Form first

and then you shall compete.

Tsai Jinbao, you have my respect here.

No matter who wins today,

can we just wipe the slate clean?

This is the honorable arena for martial arts.

Since I have agreed to your way of competing,

then I give you my word of honor.

I will stop bothering you after this.

You are defeated.

The insidious martial arts you learnt

have sapped all your energy.

I have destroyed them

so that you shall no longer inflict harm on others.

I hope that you can mend your ways and start afresh.

You have destroyed a villain for the villagers,

but you hit him too hard.

Master Wong won't approve of this.

He always believes in winning by virtue rather than violence.

What's more,

Tsai Jinbao is someone who feels no remorse.

I'm afraid you have made a huge mistake.

My act was rightful and righteous.

For bullies like Tsai Jinbao,

I was already being kind not to kill him.

Anyway, I have already put an end to this feud.

There won't be any trouble.

Don't worry.

I think you are almost fully recovered.

It's about time you went back to Baozhilin Clinic

in case of any incidents while Master is away.

Master would blame you

if you weren't there to help.

No one shall reveal his stay here

without my permission.

Yes, Master.

You can leave.

You are no longer my student from now on.

Master,

please forgive my stupidity

and tell me what I have done wrong.

I will repent and mend my ways!

Before you raise your fists,

you should learn how to lower them down.

You will only become a decent man

if your mind is at peace.

One needs to have integrity and kindness first,

and fulfills his filial and fraternal duties.

To eliminate the evil and protect the people

is not about playing the hero.

From caring comes courage.

With restraint, one gains strength.

When one dares not to seek the most prominent place,

one can become the most talented leader.

Rong,

I didn't expect Master Wong to

expel you from his school.

However,

as long as you understand the reasons behind,

I believe you can resume being a student of Master's.

Madam Kwan,

I have contemplated his words all this time,

but still failed to understand what Master meant.

Could you enlighten me on this?

Actually,

it can be boiled down to three words.

Self-improvement, courage and compassion,

with this last point being the most important.

Compassion.

Which means you should care about others

with a big heart.

Madam Kwan,

I see.

Here is the prescription.

Thank you, Master Wong.

Rong is a simple and honest man,

but he can be very stubborn.

I intend to cultivate as my successor.

If one is to take a great responsibility,

his will must be first frustrated, and his muscles and bones exhausted.

You should know this better than I do.

Does Master Wong need me to enlighten Rong?

No.

If he failed to comprehend this principle,

then he wouldn't be qualified to become my student.

Let's finish this game of Go.

Madam Kwan,

you lost.

Master Wong, you are extraordinary at playing Go.

That's not because of me.

It is because you are not paying attention today.

After all those years you learning from many masters,

I don't see any improvement in your martial skills

with you lying here being a mess.

What am I supposed to tell your mother?

Pretending to be a caring uncle, huh?

Even a stranger has more compassion than you,

Master Mou.

How dare you say such ungrateful words?

Why would I otherwise shelter you now?

I need to thank you then, Master Mou.

If I can get through this,

I will serve you faithfully.

If not,

You must bring my body

to Wong Fei Hung

to demand an explanation.

Don't overthink it.

You need to get well for me.

Well done, everyone.

Off you go and get something to eat.

Come on. Let's go.

Cousin,

come to my room and eat with me.

Thank you, my cousin.

I don't want to stain your tables and chairs.

My cousin,

don't give up on yourself.

Uncle Yuan,

Where are you going?

Let me go and deliver these pork.

I'm going to the Martial Club of Mou. You are the last person that should be there.

No, it's fine.

If I see Master Mou, I will apologize to him.

Alright then.

It's better for foes to be reconciled than to contend with each other.

Here are in fact two orders.

This pig head and lean pork are for the oil shop of Chen.

Today is Mr. Chen's 60th birthday.

Don't be late for it.

Leave that up to me, Uncle Yuan.

What's that for?

Cook this pig head for Tsai Jinbao, please.

He can recover better with this.

My treat.

Alright.

You'd better leave now.

What a banquet!

Is this a special occasion?

Master Tsai is going home,

so he cooked for you today

to say goodbye.

Haha, this kid.

Why bother?

Uncle,

This is a Jiangnan dish.

My mother taught me.

But I might get a bit rusty these years.

Please try it.

Alright.

Jinbao,

you're not fully recovered yet.

Why not stay here until you're well?

Delicious!

It tastes just like Jiangnan.

Uncle,

I feel well already.

I guess this crippled leg won't get any better.

I want to go home to look after my mother.

If you like these dishes,

I guess I could open a small restaurant

to make a living.

Good!

Toast to that.

Go.

Fetch young master Tsai some money for the journey.

Yes, my master.

They were poisoned.

But only the steamed pork is tested poisonous.

Normally, silver needles turn black with common poisons.

But this poison makes the needle turn purple.

I've never seen this before.

There's something fishy about it.

The pork was from the Yuan's Butcher.

Butcher Rong himself delivered the pork.

He had a feud with my father and cousin.

He must be the murderer.

Young Master,

You are a man who has seen a lot.

From what we've known,

Rong is now the most suspicious.

But would he bring the meat himself

if he had poisoned it?

Don't you feel it's ridiculous?

I know Rong is a student of yours,

but I think your argument is rather weak.

To protect your reputation,

I didn't report the case.

But you have to find out the truth about my father's death.

Thank you, Young Master Mou.

Please give me more time

to sort out this case.

Fine.

You have three days.

Then,

I will invite the Guanzhou brotherhood

to the Martial Club

and decide it with my fist.

If Rong wins,

I'll forget the suffering of my father and cousin.

But if I win,

I'll have to ask you not to hate me.

I will find out the truth as soon as possible.

I believe Lin Shirong didn't do it.

It's all my fault.

Now the Yuan's is close,

people can't buy meat.

They're avoiding me.

My master refused to see me.

Madame Kwan,

what should I do?

Rong,

I believe you didn't do it.

Mou has challenged you to a duel,

but I think he wants to kill you to avenge his family.

Remember, the compassion you should have.

Stay here.

I'll visit Master Wong.

Master Wong,

Rong is very upset.

Hong Boxing in its sophistication,

is tranquility.

He's suffered so much.

It's hard to take anything more.

Tranquility gathers flows in one.

When the flows get unblocked,

the energy will be strong and long-lasting.

He's innocent.

As within so without. Strong as Buddha's Guardians.

Master Wong,

please help Rong this time.

This is the secret to Hong Boxing.

Master Wong!

What's going on with you?

Rong's mind

is like the water bailer.

Only when it sinks to the bottom,

can he know the sophistication of mankind.

Only when he's bitten hard,

can he stay true to himself

in the pains and confusion.

Master Wong,

stop talking these big words.

I don't know what to do.

I'm so worried.

Just trust Rong. That'd be enough.

Young Master, take a break.

Do you think

you can win the fight tomorrow?

Tomorrow will be his doom.

This fight is the most important.

Please let me know if you need anything.

I need superior quality raw beef from the West.

Raw beef?

This western-style boxing I'm practicing

is very consuming.

I can't recover in a short time.

So I need extra nutrition.

Yes, Young Master.

Rong,

don't worry about losing,

and don't try to avoid the outcomes.

Instead.

Face the failure bravely.

These could be your burden

but also your armor.

Sometimes,

Carrying the burden is not a bag thing,

because the heavier the burden gets,

the more powerful you'll become.

Here, the secrets of Hong Boxing.

We all believe in you.

Do believe yourself.

Master gave me this?

Stay true no matter what.

Madame Kwan,

I want you to witness

how I clear myself of the injustice.

I'm not going.

Then you can focus and give your best performance.

If I lose, please tell my Master

that I'm not guilty.

Butcher Rong hasn't come.

Can it be that he's really guilty,

so he ran away?

Even if we misjudged him,

Master Wong wouldn't.

But Master Wong isn't here either.

I'm afraid his reputation will be ruined.

We should be more cautious in taking students.

Young Master,

it's been an hour.

I declare

Lin Shirong didn't make it to this duel,

which blasphemed the world of martial arts.

According to the rules, Mou Chengwei wins.

And Lin Shirong is discarded.

Lin Shirong is here.

Young Master,

I didn't murder your father.

Please accept my condolences.

If you want to prove that

sign the disclaimer.

Stop!

Forgive me, Young Master.

I have found out the truth.

The poison that killed Master Mou was from the west.

It found the way into Guangzhou black market

through his hands!

My business is legal.

Headbutter Tsai asked me to buy it on his behalf.

I always said no.

But he forced me.

This is a silver needle and the poison.

Please take a look.

Young Master,

you've been abroad.

This can of poison,

we are not able to produce it in China.

Tsai Jinbao wanted to kill Rong with your hands.

Young Master, you were fooled.

Madame Kwan.

Madame Kwan.

Rong,

I am leaving.

Take good care of yourself.

You are a good man.

I am so happy

that you have overcome the difficulties.

You still have a long way ahead of you.

Follow Master Wong and practice hard.

Oh, and read more books.

I feel so honored

to have had a friend like you.

It is not my intention to leave Guangzhou,

I just need to leave the place that makes me sad.

I will travel afar.

Rong,

Please forget me.

Kwan Xin.
