这部剧情描述了在广东佛山梁家《赞生堂》的故事。 《赞生堂》馆主梁赞乃一代名医，侠骨仁心，深受市民爱戴。 除此之外，梁赞也是独门武学[咏春拳]的传人。 当时咏春的戒训只能一子单传，所以外人都不晓得其中的奥妙。 梁赞更是为了寻找一位智，勇，德，三全的继承人而苦恼一生。
长子梁壁从小显得个性偏激，有着我行我素的态度。 但他坦然直率，而且乐意助友。 因为他生性好玩，吊儿郎当，经常与父发生冲突。 热爱武学的他却一直有着一个梦想，成为杰出的武术家，发扬中华武术。 可惜梁赞一直不传他咏春。 梁壁误会父亲一向不喜欢自己，发誓终生不学咏春，而且将来一定要把百家武学融会贯通，发明一套独一无二的梁壁武术，将其打败父亲的咏春来证明自己。 次子梁春就比较文静，一眼看上去都是书生样。 他一向体弱多病，不好习武，反而对医术颇有兴趣，有望将来接管《赞生堂》的生意。
高明原本是个身无分文的小子，在故事的后半却已成为富豪，在佛山闹得天翻地覆。 此外，他也身怀原根少林的两门绝技，[劈挂拳]和[铁线拳]，可称新一代的佼佼者。 其中，高明早期跟梁壁结下了怨。 高明一心要搞垮梁家，证明自己的实力，来赢取小馒头的欢欣。 直到最后，小馒头还是一心一意的跟着她的壁少爷。 在一场布局中，高明杀了保护梁壁的梁赞。
梁壁痛切心扉，求师公黄华宝传授咏春。 梁壁现在才知道父亲对他的爱，欲求用咏春来打败高明。 从一个败家子，到最后的武林宗师，梁壁的成长过程让大家刮目相看。 那份高傲没有了。 仇恨也渐渐消失。 我们看到的是仁者无敌。
关于这部戏的武打场面，实在是非常有魄力。 谢霆锋这次可说是离开了花拳绣腿，而展现真功夫。 许多咏春的武学哲理也有在剧中透露，精湛的对打让大家叹为观止，不容错失。

The Fragility of Life
Life? How fragile it is… brittle like glass… like a faltering flicker of flame waiting to be extinguished… at the mercy of erratic gusts of wind threatening to terminate the purposeful life of someone next to you.
Recently, there is a friend whose very young student bade our world goodbye, and obviously this friend was in a spate of gloom. After getting to know more about what happened, even I was disgusted by the state of the whole affair. It occurred as a result of an adverse drug reaction, and this young girl had effectively only the love from her mother. The bastard father had abandoned the family, and couldn’t care less in the events escalating to her death… How unfeeling can that be? I cannot stop to imagine that. A reasonable man will even grieve over the loss of a fleeting acquaintance. And the forceful eradication of such a young life (who didn’t live long enough to celebrate her double digit birthday) through such unnatural cruel means… even strangers might feel a sense of distress.
The previous weekend. Went out with family to eat dinner… And just so along the stretch of bukit timah road… This poor little kitten (yes I’m getting emo…) probably got run over or something, apparently hurt in the middle of the road. Then I saw a guy carry it onto a curb… it seemed to be in agony, and cringed and rolled over once. When we went past… we could see the kitten throwing up some blood.
Yea yea I know its not a human… but because of recent turn of events, it evoked a much more intense reaction. Even people I totally do not know. Yes I shed more than a tear for the chivalric construction workers who lost their lives in an unfortunate turn of events in my college. And for some random reason, I somehow got reminded of the officer who threw himself onto an exploding grenade on the tiny island many males of our tiny nation no doubt have deeply-etched memories of. True enough, it happened many years ago, in a setting I couldn’t have witnessed… but it didn’t matter. The thought alone… that is heart-wrenching enough. Whats worse… with the coming of age, and moving on ahead in life into the realm of uncertainties, there are bound to be more of such incidents. Somehow… I am quite sensitive to such issues… Don’t ask me why… I’m becoming more volatile.
This is NOT an April Fool’s joke…
