Yesterday I watched a film named The Grandmaster, which was directed by Kar-Wai Wong. The Grandmaster is a Hong Kong martial arts drama film based on the life story of the Wing Chun grand master Yip Man.
However, the most impressing part of this film is not Yip Man, but the charateristic of Gong Er, who is the daughter of an old and famous martial arts master. She has very strong personality which is tough, persistent and patient. Her father tends to beat others to become the leader of the field, however, he fails. To help her father and retain the reputation of her family, Gong Er fights the man who beat her father skillfully. It is worth noting that Gong Er is intelligent and aggressive. As time goes by, Master Gong grows older and older and is retrayed and killed by his most adorable apprentice. Gong Er is much too angry and sad and want to revenge for her father. Nevertheless, in tradition Chinese culture, married daughter is no longer a member of the original family. So Gong Er sacrifices her marriage and waits for several years to revenge. As she wishes, she successfully kills the man murdered her father, but she also suffers great harm and passes away after a few years. I greatly admire her spirit, it also reflects the spirit of other maters of martial arts. It is with the belief and faith that the martial arts have remained and developed for centuries.
