(Synopsis): Ip Man: The Legend is Born" takes place before the first Ip Man movie and chronicles the younger days of the Wing Chun pugilist. From a young age, Ip Man (Dennis To Yu Hang) was already learning Wing Chun from Chan Wah-Shun (played by Sammo Hung), and then subsequently from Leung Bik (played by Ip Chun) when his father sent him to Hong Kong's St Stephen's College to study. There Ip Man learns a different, improved style of Wing Chun from Leung Bik (Ip Chun) and his prowess in martial arts improves tremendously. After his return to Foshan, Ip Man fell in love with Wing Shing and confronted with great barriers. Meanwhile, Ng Chun Sui found that Ip Man's Wing Chun deviated from the traditional style which is totally unacceptable to a man strictly sticking to "origin".
