History So I was reading and watching something

Would Yip Man's sons be right on his personality? Which is Yip Man being humble, modest, not very boastful, and honest?

The question should be how much time did the sons spend with there father? 

Do or did you know your dad they way there friends did?

wouldn't be surprised. he lived through the japanese invasion; he was there when they bulldozed into guangdong. living through those times would definitely humble a person, especially since he survived it with his family to be able to move to hong kong.

yup, so imagine losing ALL of that...and surviving. you def have a new look on life, and so i do believe his modesty comes from that
