"Be good, respectful, deferential."
要学会 “温 良 恭 俭 让”
"Deferential" is the key.
特别这个“让”字
Let's say I'm smoking.
比方说我现在抽烟
A stranger sits down.
对方坐了一个我不认识的人
I defer to him: "Have a smoke."
我也要让: 抽两口吧
Even if he doesn't smoke, he must accept
对方不管会抽不会抽 都要接受邀请
or he'll make me lose face.
否则就是不给面子
Mr. Ye---
叶先生
...have a smoke.
抽两口吧
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- 谢谢 - 不客气
You've got the gift.
是个大材
Twenty years ago, we could've sparred.
倒退二十年 我们还可以过过手
What a shame.
可惜了
That year, refugees flooded into Hong Kong.
当时 有不少难民流落香港
Among them were many Northern masters.
其中很多都是武林的宗师
They brought their Martial Arts skills with them.
北方的拳种 开始在香港开宗立派
One was the fabled Baji master, "Razor."
其中最传奇的 是八极拳的一线天
- He called himself a barber.
他当时的身份 是一名理发师
Some said he was once an assassin,
有人称他是军统第一杀手
even the Last Emperor's bodyguard.
也有人称他是溥仪的保镖
His blade was swift and untouchable.
他的剃刀很快
But a blade not blocked never sings.
不是一般人可以挡到
And he sought the Music of Steel.
所以号称 千金难买一声响
How about a game of chess?
能逼我动帅
It won't cost you much.
算你赢
I don't throw money away.
没有那闲钱
They say Wing Chun uses knives,
听说咏春有个八斩刀
and you never strike twice.
号称 棍无双响 刀无双发
Scary.
听着吓人
- Want to see? - I want to hear it,
- 想听啊 - 想听
this priceless sound.
千金难买一声响
This razor hasn't seen an equal for a long time.
我这把剃刀已经有十年没人碰过他了
Let me try.
我想啊
What will you use?
你拿什么听我的刀
Wing Chun has a saying."
咏春有句说法
You need both master and opponent.
学艺最忌无师无对手
A great master is like a scale,
有师傅 知分寸
a genuine opponent, a mirror.
有对手 便知高低
A well-matched opponent is as rare as a good friend.
知己难求 对手也都是一样
Razor put away his blade.
那晚之后 一线天封刀
But he never forgot that music
千金难买一声响 从此绝迹武林
and he gave Baji to Hong Kong.
而八极拳 也都是因为他 传入香港
1950年 香港移民潮
China closed the border with Hong Kong later that year.
1950年4月 中港边境关闭
I was separated from my family.
我开始定居香港

...and no road home.
回头无岸
Having lost track of her for many years,
失散多年我终于
I finally found Gong Er in Hong Kong.
在香港找到宫二
She was no longer involved in the Martial Arts world.
她住在附近一家北方旅馆
She had become a doctor, as her father once wished.
开馆行医 很少跟武林中人来往
宫家医馆
Well, sir, what might you want on this New Year's Eve?
这位爷，大年三十找上门来
Haven't seen you here before. Where are you from?
不是讨债就借钱 你来干啥来了
You wouldn't know.
两样都不是
I'm here to see the doctor.
我来看病
The doctor?
看病来了
Must be serious.
来找病吧
You don't look too sick.
叶先生来不单是为看病吧
I'd like to see the 64 Hands again.
想再看一次宫家的六十四手
If you don't mind my saying...
说句玩笑话
You lost. I won.
你可是输过我的
Have a seat.
坐
If you'd said that at the door,
你要是一进门就说这话
I wouldn't have made it so easy
那恐怕你得先唱一出《杀四门》
for you to get in here to see me.
才能吃得上这顿饺子
Thank you.
谢谢
You know,
你知道吗
I'd hoped to visit the Northeast in 1937.
民国二十六年我打算去东北
There was a challenge waiting for me.
因为那边有一座高山
I had a warm coat made.
大衣我都做了
But the war stopped me from going.
后来因为打仗所以没去成
I didn't keep the coat...
大衣没留下
...just one of its buttons.
只留下一颗扣子
Call it a memento.
算是个念想
The 64 Hands is too important a legacy.
宫家六十四手是一座高山
Why let it disappear?
不该就这样烟消云散
In centuries of Martial Arts history,
武学千年
so many things have vanished.
烟消云散的事 我们见得还少吗
Why should the Gong Family arts survive?
凭什么宫家的就不能绝
Mr. Ye
叶先生
no art is higher than Heaven,
武艺再高 高不过天
no gift more solid than Earth.
资质再厚 厚不过地
Nothing lasts forever, and that's fine.
人生无常 没有什么可惜的
I'll keep this button, but...
这扣子 你拿回去
...as for what may and may not be seen,
咱们要见什么 不见什么
let's not talk about it now.
以后再慢慢说
How could it be?

Miss Gong, the old rules don't apply here in Hong Kong.
姑娘，到了香港什么规矩都不成规矩了
The vow you took,
再说，你奉道这事
no one has to know.
你不说 我不说 他谁能知道
Heaven would know.
可是天知道
Earth would know.
地知道
Father would know.
我爹知道
No arrow can return to its bow.
开弓没有回头箭
Others may live without rules.
别人可以没有规矩
Not me.
咱们有
Mr. Ye,
叶先生
do you know what happened ten years ago?
十年前的大年夜 你知道我在哪吗
日本任命末代皇帝为伪满洲国的傀儡皇帝
马三，宫羽田的继任者，成为了日本人的走狗，在傀儡政权中为官
Do you remember what I taught you?
你知道我为什么叫你马三吗
Yes.
知道
Never put yourself first, show respect.
言必称三 手必成圈 是武林的一句老话
There's always someone better.
意思是能人背后有能人
To yield is not to lose.
凡事让人三分
Master, you've taught me
您老人家替我起这个名字
to be modest
是提醒马三要谦虚
and know my place.
要本分
I took you in as an orphan.
你是跟着我长大的
You brought credit to our school.
在风头上你也算是为我们这一门挣名气的人
Let's go over my supreme move.
今天我想跟你说说我的一手绝活
"The Old Monkey Hangs Up His Badge."

You know the key to it?
这活的关隘是什么知道吗
I was never told.

It's looking back in reflection.
老猿挂印回首望
It's not the upward move, but the turning back.
关隘不在挂印而是回头
Understand what I'm saying?
懂我跟你说的意思吗
A warrior molds himself to the times.
兵无常势 水无常形
What if... I can't turn back?
要是回不了头呢
Then the Gong Family legacy

Think it over.
你可要想清楚啊

Your dinner may be waiting at home,
饺子就在锅里
but it won't be yours to eat.

had driven her to opium.
开始吸鸦片

我最后一次见她是在大南
Do you know this opera?
听得懂这戏吗
I think I heard it before in Foshan.
像是在佛山听过
- Something about a dream. - "A Dream of Love."
- 叫什么梦 - 《风流梦》
Love is just that, a dream.
风流本就是个梦
It's said no instrument is as lovely as a voice.
有人说 丝不如竹 竹不如肉
Words always sound better sung.
唱的 远比说的好听
- Has Miss Gong studied opera? - Just the basics.
- 宫先生学过戏呀 - 皮毛而已
Back then, if I'd put my mind to it,
当年 要真拧着性子把戏学下去
I'd be an opera star.
我定会是台上的角儿
All those tales, happy and sad...
千回百转 一悲一喜
If I tired of Yang Family Women Generals,
唱腻了《杨门女将》
I'd sing "Waking From a Dream."
就换《游园惊梦》唱唱
Think of it,
那时候
me on stage, you in the audience...
你在台下 我唱你看
...meeting that way.
想想那样的相遇
Wouldn't that be something?
也怪有意思的
But what if it was sold out?
我怕到时候一票难求啊
You flatter me.
您真捧场
If you came, I'd save you a seat.
您看戏 我送票
You've performed well in the opera of life.
这几年宫先生唱做念打 文戏武唱
You have both timing and skill.
可是唱得有板有眼功架十足

可惜只差一点 就差一个转身
I'd no idea you watched me like an opera.
想不到你把我当戏看
This opera of mine, applauded or not,
我的戏不管人家喝不喝彩
will play on to the end.
也只能这样下去了
I asked you here to bring things to a close
今晚请您出来也是想把该了的事了一了
and say what needs to be said.
该说的话说一说
Are you going somewhere?
宫先生要出门
We have a saying in the North:

A tiger never quits the mountain.
人不辞路 虎不辞山
We've both been living on foreign soil.
这些年 咱们都是他乡之人
I'm so very tired.
我是真的累了

想回老家了
But I wanted to return this to you first.
临走前 有样东西要还给你
As for the 64 Hands...

我已经忘了
I was lucky to meet you in my prime.
我在最好的时候碰到你 是我的运气
Sadly, my time is running out.
可惜我没时间了
To say there are no regrets in life,
想想 说人生无悔
is just to fool yourself.
都是赌气的话
How boring it would be without regrets.
人生若无悔 那该多无趣啊
Mr. Ye, to tell you the truth...
叶先生 说句真心话
...I cared about you.
我心里有过你
I don't mind telling you that.
我把这话告诉你也没什么
It's not a crime to love.
喜欢人不犯法
But that's all it can ever be.
可我也只能到喜欢为止了
I never said that to anyone before.
这些话我没对谁说过
Seeing you tonight,
今晚见了你
I don't know why, but it just came out.
不知道为什么就都说出来了
Let's say we suspend this game of chess between us.
就让你我的恩怨像盘棋一样保留在那儿
Take care.
你多保重
In life, as in chess,
人生如棋落子无悔
a move, once made, stays on the board.
我们之间本来就没恩怨
What we have... is simply fate.
有的只是一段缘分
Your father once said,
你爹讲过
never give up the faith.
念念不忘必有回响
Keep the light burning.
有灯就有人
I hope that one day, I'll see the 64 Hands once more.
希望有一日 我可以再见宫家六十四手
My father said, "Mastery has three stages:
我爹常说 习武之人有三个阶段
Being,
见自己
knowing,
见天地
doing."
见众生
I know myself.
我见过自己
I've seen the world.
也算见过天地
Sadly, I can't pass on what I know.
可惜见不到众生
This is a road I won't see to the end.
这条路 我没走完
I hope you will.
希望你能把它走下去
I grew up watching my father fight.
我是经小看着我父亲跟人交手长大的
The sound most familiar to me was that of bones breaking.
听的最多的是骨头碎的声音
My father was the first to merge Xingyi and Bagua.
打经我们太师爷辈 形意八卦就和成一家
When Father practiced Bagua, he allowed no one to watch.
我爹练八卦的时候 从不让人看
He only taught his discYeles Xingyi,
教徒弟 只教形意
for Bagua was lethal.
因为他说 八卦手黑
Father always said that if I was a singer I'd rule the stage,
我爹常说我这种人 唱戏能成名角
if a nun I'd run the temple,
出家能做高僧
for I lose myself in my passions.
因为我会迷
It's a pity I wasn't a boy.
可惜不是个男的
What I learned from my father wasn't skill
在我爹身上 我看到的不是招
so much as a code of honor.
是意
Those were my happiest days.
那是我最开心的日子
1953年，宫二故于香港，从未违誓。
Like her father, Gong Er never lost a fight.
宫家从无败绩 宫二一生也没输给过谁
She only ever lost to herself.
要输 她宁愿输给自己
宫二故去后，叶问扩大他的教学范围，更加面向民众，收了众多弟子
包括他最著名的徒弟 李小龙
At seven, I started learning kung fu.
我七岁学拳
My master was Chan Wah-shun.
师傅是陈华顺
Wing Chun was still a secret art, and discYeles were rarely commoners.
我七岁学拳 师父是陈华顺 咏春是闭门拳 收徒弟很少是一般人家
Pledging loyalty cost 20 silver dollars,
我记得当年拜师 是二十个大洋
enough money to pay a handsome dowry.
普通人可以娶个老婆
Back then, it was only for the rich.
那时 一担谷也不过是两个银元
The day I became a discYele, my master tied my sash himself.
拜师那天 他亲手帮我上了条腰带
This sash stands for school and teacher.
这条腰带就是代表你师门 你师父
It stands for commitment to honor and respect our legacy.
一条腰带一道气 上了这条腰带 就是练武之人
You are now a martial artist.
以后 你就要凭这口气做人
I lived through dynastic times, the early Republic, warlords,
我一生经历光绪 宣统 民国 北伐
Japanese invasion and civil war.
抗日 内战
Finally, I came to Hong Kong.
最后到香港
What kept me going was the spirit of Wing Chun.
能够坚持下来 凭的就是这一句话
OK, begin.
好 开拳
They say Wing Chun.
有人说 咏春因我而起 因我而收
I hope they're right.
我但愿他们是对的
I never did it for fame.
我一辈子没挂过招牌
The Martial Arts belong to all.
对我而言武术是大同的
Martial Arts is about kung fu, not schools.
武术应该只论功夫 不论门派
We're all on the same quest.
千拳归一路
It all comes down to those two words:
到头来就两个字
Horizontal. Vertical.
一横一竖
因为叶问 咏春开始在世界传播
真正的武术家不会活在(武术的)规范当中，他只为了自己的意趣而活
—李小龙
