^^^ Wong Shun Leung was one of his favored students and taught many of his public classes for him. But you knew that, right? Ho Kam Ming was one of his senior students and was at his bedside when he died. Tsiu Tsun Ting was also one of his number one students and kept in contact through-out Ip Man's life. Leung Sheung was the man that helped Ip Man establish a Kung Fu school with the Restaurant Worker's union when Ip Man first moved to Hong Kong. He was the guy that gave Ip Man his start in teaching so that he had an occupation and didn't starve. Maybe you are just a bit too cynical. ;-)
