At the beginning of 2020, in this extremely cold winter, we sent away another celebrity.
On January 26, according to media reports, the second son of Wing Chun master Ye Wen, Ye Zheng , passed away at the age of 83. The time when the old Mr.
passed away was the night of the New Year’s Day. The Hong Kong media today asked Ye Wen’s eldest son and Ye Zheng’s eldest brother Ye Zhun to verify the authenticity of the news.
96-year-old master Ye Zhun said that his younger brother Ye Zheng passed away at a French hospital in Hong Kong at 11 pm.
Currently, the younger brother's funeral is being handled by his wife and children, and he is also waiting for the latest news.
Ye Zhun revealed that Ye Zheng had been ill for a long time, and this time he was not able to withstand the attack of the disease. He regretted that he passed away due to illness.
But what kind of illness the younger brother got, Ye Zhun did not disclose.
Many friends of the old gentleman expressed their condolences in their own way. For example, Li Yuchang, the chairman of the Hong Kong Wing Chun Sports Association, posted on his personal social platform today: "I announced a message with a sad heart. Master Ye Zheng last night He has passed away peacefully."

What is sad is that the movie "Ip Man 4: The End" based on Ip Man is still in theaters.
The two brothers Ye Zheng and Ye Zhun, as the descendants of Master Ip Man, have contributed a lot to this series of films. The two of
gave the movie a lot of advice on martial arts coaching.
In the fourth installment, Ye Zheng is played by the actor Ye He, who has participated in film and television works such as "The History of Romantic Demise" and "The Wind of Langya List".
Some time ago, he also posted that he was "Ye Zheng who loves boxing", and he was obviously deeply involved in the play.
His prototype also appeared in "Ip Man 3", played by actor Wang Shi.
Anyone who has watched Wong Kar-wai's movie "The Grand Master" should know that the first grandmaster Ye Wen and his wife Zhang Yongcheng gave birth to 7 children.
3 of the children died, leaving only two sons and two daughters. Another concubine Shanghai woman gave birth to a son and Ye Zheng was the second son.
Ye Zheng learned Wing Chun from his father when he was 7 years old, and then stayed in Foshan with his mother Zhang Yongcheng and his brother Ye Zhun. It was not until 1962 that Ye Zheng went to Hong Kong with his brother Ye Zhun, and the three father and son finally met.

There were rumors that Ye Zheng left them to Hong Kong alone to his father, fell in love with a Shanghai woman and gave birth to illegitimate children.
So he rarely interacts with his father, only occasionally learn boxing skills, and serve as an assistant in his martial arts gym. Before the death of
, in addition to contributing to the film "Ip Man" series, he also opened classes and taught Wing Chun techniques.
Now, these past events have disappeared with the wind, and I hope the old man will go well all the way.
