Tips

culture
In the film, 陈真 avenges his master 霍元甲, whose death he blames on a Japanese martial arts school in Shanghai. The scene in which he storms the school to return a sign calling the Chinese 东亚病夫 "the sick men of East Asia" made it a byword for national pride, and the story has been remade many times, with Jet Li and Donnie Yen as Chen Zhen.
history
The real school, the 精武体育会, was founded in Shanghai in 1910 with 霍元甲 as its first master, to teach martial arts openly to anyone who wanted to learn.
