The story is set in 1912 in Tianjin, where two martial arts schools will fight for honor and freedom.
Master Chen (Liao Fan) is the last warrior who holds the secrets of the Wing Chun school. He is searching for a new pupil to teach his arts and skills to a young, brave local fighter.

“Knowledge is power.”
“Wisdom comes with experience.”
The Master must decide whether to vanish with his knowledge into oblivion or to wait two years until a new master is trained and ready for action.
But first things first, the Master has a tactical plan to redeem his past and restore his honor after the offense he suffered years ago in his homeland.
One of those steps is to marry a local girl. The bar waitress seems a good prospect, but it won't be easy. The ambitious woman hates freeloaders who order nothing and only eat the complimentary bread on the table.
He must convince her to agree to the arrangement.
She has two conditions: to be a wife, not a concubine, and to have crab for dinner every night. He has no money – she suggests going fishing in the river. Another of the many tasks to help improve his endurance, elevate his spirit, tame his temper, and strengthen his body.

Master Chen wants to live in austerity, away from the mundane world, and focus on training his pupil.
The young apprentice looks at the beauty of the Master's wife and teases her. He is extremely skilled, but he must focus his training if he is to win a battle of his own.
The fights become more complicated when they involve knives.

Then the story becomes more strategic and scheming as militaries and politicians seek to take over, and the groups prepare for the fight. The Master fights solo.
In this exciting film, the battles feel more realistic and physically demanding than in other action movies full of fantasy and special effects, like “The House of the Flying Daggers.”
Director Xu Haofeng (writer of "The Grandmaster") controls all aspects of the production to perfection.
In the well-developed Wu-Join script, all the characters are well-developed. They have a definite purpose and a shadowy past, and their actions reinforce how they deal with their present.
Not only is the story well told, but the excellent cinematography, music, sound design, set, costumes, makeup, and performances also add excitement.
