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.

作者年青時在港受李小龍的電影所影響，沿他的武術路線學習跆拳道，在四年後改學詠春功夫，卻因工廠常加班工作，只學了很短時間便停止。及後工廠北移，因工作量減少，餘暇便重燃學武的興趣，包括多項國術及空手道。直至二零零八年葉問電影出現，便跟隨葉問宗師長子葉準師父學習詠春至今。

The author, in his youth, was influenced by Bruce Lee's movies while in Hong Kong. He initially learned Taekwondo following Bruce Lee's martial arts path but switched to studying Wing Chun Kung Fu after four years. However, due to frequent overtime work at the factory, he had to stop his martial arts training after a short period of time. Later on, when the factory relocated, his workload decreased, and he rekindled his interest in martial arts during his free time, including various Chinese martial arts and Karate. It was not until the release of the movie "Ip Man" in 2008 that he started learning Wing Chun again, this time under the tutelage of Yip Man's eldest son, Sifu Ip Chun, and he has been studying Wing Chun ever since.
