leung sheung -lrb- chinese : 梁相 ; 1918 - 1978 -rrb- was a chinese martial artist who studied wing chun kung fu who is known as the senior-most student of yip man -lrb- 葉問 -rrb- in hong kong .
leung sheung was widely acknowledged for his superior skill and practical application .
although being credited with being a premier student of yip man , leung sheung was an extremely humble man .
he spoke about his wing chun abilities in overly modest terms , preferring to instead elevate yip man 's martial prowess .
however , being one of the few close-door students of yip man while living and studying under him for many years , as well as being yip man 's first student in hong kong , leung presented yip man with obvious reason to train him well .
it was leung sheung 's undeniable abilities that played a significant role in promoting and building yip man 's wing chun in hong kong .
leung sheung , along with lok yiu and chu shong tin are considered to be the three closed-door students of yip man .
