Warning: Spoilers
Warning: Some may consider this comment as a spoiler, but in fact this is only a brief introduction on who Yong Chun (Wing Chun) is and why she is a famous character in the history of modern kung fu. Miss Yim Wing Chun is a real person lived about 300 years ago. Her name is still remembered until today as the name of one of the toughest kung fu fighting method. Although she is not the one who created the style (the real creator is a female Shaolin Master Wu May/Ng Mui, Wing Chun's kung fu teacher), but her name is used as the name of the kung fu style because the master herself is on the run escaping from Shaolin traitors who burnt the Shaolin Temple. The kungfu style itself is becoming famous partly because one of it's followers is also considered a legend in modern kung fu world. He was Bruce Lee. Therefore Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do style is a descendant of Wing Chun Style.
