In 1950, he went to Hong Kong and taught Wing Chun at the Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel Staff Association, and became famous in one fell swoop. Shen Baofeng, an outstanding contemporary young poetry scholar, summed up the essence of Wing Chun very succinctly. "Wing Chun is a unique skill in martial arts.

In this era, the Chinese were regarded by foreigners as the sick men of East Asia. One time, Ip Man passed by the entrance of the park and saw a sign that read: "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter." Ip Man for the sake of the nation Justice, jumped up and kicked the billboard to pieces to give China a sigh of relief. Another time, Ip Man saw seven or eight foreign sailors bullying women in the street. Ip Man, who always likes to fight against injustice, stepped forward to stop him. He stood with seven or eight foreign men, but it was difficult for him to fight with two fists and he gradually fell down after a few rounds. At this time, a young man shouted and crowded into the crowd to fight with Ye Wen against the foreigners. In the end, seven or eight foreigners were beaten and fled. This young man was Liang Bi, the son of Liang Zan.

Upon learning that the person in front of him was the son of Wing Chun master Liang Chan, Ip Man immediately accepted him as his teacher, and was destined to further study Wing Chun skills with Liang Bi.

After the Japanese army captured Foshan, Ip Man's extraordinary kung fu was already known to the Japanese Military Police, and they wanted to be invited to serve as the Chinese martial arts coach of the Military Police. However, as he always upheld national justice, of course he refused the invitation of the Japanese Military Police.
