Warm like sunlight Yu-Sian gradually enters her world and melts Siao-Jie's icy heart.

[ THE HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ]
  The industry of inventing and re-inventing the legend of Master Ip Man lives on....This one by Hong Kong's best-loved populist director Herman Yau has both feet firmly on the ground in the fighting sequences, the drama, the story-telling, and sympathies. Anthony Wong plays the Master arriving in Hong Kong in 1950. Penniless and no longer young, he teaches martial arts to working class people for a living and enters into a life-long romantic (or platonic) relationship with a songstress across a canvass of social turmoil, labor strikes, police corruption and high-handed colonial rule. A model of restraint, the Master only shows his true colours when he takes on the tyrant of the Walled City in the final fight.

  The Yang family during the Song Dynasty was the Chinese Empire's greatest military clan. The patriarch is loyal to the emperor. His loving wife has given him seven sons who all love their mother very much. When the patriarch falls prey to the scheme of a villain and is subsequently trapped by the northern barbarians, the six sons set out for the rescue. With battles scenes and single combats galore, and the seven sons played by Chinese-language cinema's hottest males (with their pretty faces and buff bodies), this is almost like The Iliad -- but with special Chinese characteristics.

[ THE FILM CATALOGUE ]
  This is an epical tale about the renowned Song Dynasty’s military defense by the clan of Yang’s against the nomadic Northern nation the Liao, sometimes also known as the Khitans in ancient Chinese history account.

  Headed by a charismatic old veteran general named YangYe, the Yang Clan has been the major military force protecting the Song Empire and its people against their ever invasive neighbor. From YangYe and his wife Madame She, we witness the coming of age of their seven sons namely Ping, Ding, Ang, Hui, De, Zhao and Si throughout the various battlefields in the story. The seven young men possess different temperament and characters united under a single banner and a heart of lion.
