1935年、広東省仏山市は数多くの道場が軒を連ねる中国武術の町であった。ここにまた1人新たな道場を開く者がいた。泰山武術館の主、廖は仏山最強と言われる詠春拳の葉問と戦って武名を高めようとするが、軽くあしらわれる。息も乱していない葉問に、決して立ち会いの内容を口外しないことを念押しし、廖は葉問邸を後にした。
しかし後日茶館に出かけた葉問は、店主の武痴林が廖との立ち会いのことについて言及するのに驚く。林の弟、沙膽源が凧を揚げて遊んでいた際に、たまたま葉問邸の壁に登り一部始終を見ており、立ち会いの様子を尾ひれを付けて吹聴していたのである。この話はすぐ廖の耳に入り、怒った廖は茶館に乗り込んで沙を問い詰めるが、ここで葉問と再び相対。林が割って入り、2人の立ち会いは沙の作り話であると主張し、騒ぎは収まった。この後、一部始終を見ていた警官の李釗が拳銃を抜き、武術は時代遅れであると説くが、葉問にシリンダーを片手で外され沈黙する。
In 1935, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, was a Chinese martial arts town with many dojos. Here was another one who opened a new dojo. Liao, the owner of Taishan Wushu Museum, tries to raise his reputation by fighting the battle for the strongest of Foshan, Wing Chun, but is lightly treated. Liao left the house, reminding her that she was not disturbed by her breath, and that she would never dismiss the contents of her presence.
However, he later went to the tea house and was surprised to see the shopkeeper Takechirin mentioning the witness with Liao. Lin’s younger brother, Jangyuan, was flying a kite, and happened to climb the wall of the house to watch the whole story, and was listening to the situation with his tail fins. This story was immediately heard by Liao, and angry Liao boarded the tea house and interrogated for Sha. Lin broke in, claiming that the witness was a fiction of Sha, and the commotion subsided. After this, police officer Li Yi, who had been watching the whole story, pulled his handgun and told him that martial arts were out of date.
