Jiu Wan Branch
Jiu Wan (招允; pinyin: Zhāo Yǔn) first taught Wing Chun at Jing Mo Gwun, a school in Foshan, China. When the Communists took over China, he moved to Hong Kong where he continued to teach.
Jiu Wan's relationship with Yip Man is controversial among students of both branches. Some students of Jiu Wan maintain he studied under his cousin and later under Yip Man. Yip Man students claim that as well. Jason Lau's branch of Jiu Wan claim they were kung fu brothers directly under Chan Wah Shun.
Notable students of Jiu Wan include: Chiu Hung-Kwan (his son), Jason Lau, Ti Lung(Tam Fu-Wing), Chow Hung-Yuen, Francis Fong, and Denis Chan.

The daylight kissing her wan hair,
Loitered beneath the gas lamps’ flare,
With lips of flame and heart of stone.”

You now but wisdom, exile? Stand and live,
The dove has brought an olive branch to eat.”
