This book tells the story of the grandmaster of Wing Chun in his later years in Hong Kong, weaving a tale of a twilight romance.
In the post-war era, it was not easy to establish oneself in a society that was experiencing rapid changes in various industries. In the early years of the Republic of China, he was a typical second-generation rich kid, born into wealth. He lived a carefree life and never had to worry about making a living before the age of forty. However, in 1950, at the age of fifty-seven, he unexpectedly had to teach martial arts to make a living in Hong Kong. This was beyond his expectations. Over the course of twenty-two years in Hong Kong, he experienced the ups and downs of life, tasting the sourness, sweetness, bitterness, saltiness, and spiciness of life, and witnessed how a brave person can be reborn from the fire. His first job was teaching Wing Chun at a hotel association.
During the difficult years, the appearance of a woman from Shanghai and a chivalrous act of heroism led to an extraordinary love story of two people with a significant age difference. Both of them were wanderers in the world, supporting each other on the journey of life. Just as they were about to start a new family, they faced opposition from their disciples, which strained their relationship. After struggling hard, they lost everything overnight, and their livelihood was on the verge of collapse. At this critical moment, their love bore fruit, but whether it brought sadness or joy was uncertain. However, with the support of colleagues from the Kowloon Motor Bus Company, they were able to see a glimmer of hope in their lives.
In the mid-1960s, their two sons came to Hong Kong, and in their old age, they were accompanied by their three sons. What more could they ask for as a gift from heaven? But good times don't last forever, and at this moment, their companion in adversity was taken away by cancer. Their twilight romance, which left an indelible mark on their hearts, brought forth a deeply moving story filled with both sadness and infinite sorrow.
Teaching Wing Chun in Hong Kong and seeing it flourish around the world, they created the legend of Wing Chun.
