“今天的胜负,我不是想证明我们中国的武术比西洋拳更佳优胜。
我只是想说人的地位虽然有高低之分,但是仁格不已该有贵贱之别。

我很希望从这刻开始我们大家可以学会懂得怎么去互相尊重。”
I just re-watched Ip Man 2 with Charmaine & Family. And again I find the above statement by "Ip Man" in the movie after battling down the British Boxing Champion - 'The Twister', very meaningful and inspiring.
Translated into English, it simply means:-
" I did not come here today to prove which is better - Chinese Kung Fu or Western Boxing.
And although people have different status in life, I do not believe that one person's integrity is worth more than another's. Hence from this moment on, I hope that we can start learning how to respect each other."

It may sound very simple but yet I think it really says a lot in one's self-cultivation in humanity as well as becoming a "Better Person". A Lesson we must all bear in mind...
