Between 1920–1940 the Yip Family estate was set on fire and burned to the ground. This was caused by ill feelings about the Yip Family wealth, and the involvment with Yip Man’s grandfather with smuggling opium. Yip Man’s father was close friends with Mr.Yuen the owner of the local fire works factory. It just so happend that Mr.Yuen had two sons, Yuen Kay Shan and Yuen Chai Wan who were also avid Wing Chun students. At the time of the fire, Mr. Yuen took in the Yip Family, allowing them to stay with the Yuens until other arangments could be made.

Yip man ist erst ende der 40er Jahre nach Hong Kong gegangen, als die Kommunistische Partei Chinas in 1949 an die Macht gekommen ist und zur Gründung der Volksrepublik China geführt hat. Die Kulturrevolution hat erst 1966 angefangen.
