As a movie lover, I have been familiar with the name Bruce Lee for a long time, but to my shame, never quite knew the ins and outs of the man, and always felt that the star of a star who has been dead for thirty years, whose stardom may only exist in the memories of the previous generation, and in our generation, the light is extremely limited. Over the years, I have traveled to some places and found that Bruce Lee's status and influence is far beyond my imagination, almost where there is a movie, there is his name, and those who know Chinese cinema know him. Then I finally bought a few of his masterpieces and biopics, and my jaw dropped when I saw them. It turns out that he is not just a meter hall stop Yuezhi, moving more like running thunder and lightning, far from today's many kung fu stars can be compared to the flowery fist; it turns out that he is not just a kung fu movie star, or a generation of martial arts master, a lifetime of dedication to the dissemination and enhancement of the Chinese martial arts; it turns out that he is not only able to act, but also has its own deep insights into the film and practical inputs, the late works can be truly called "Bruce Lee's work", "the work of Bruce Lee". "Bruce Lee works"; it turns out that he not only understands the movie understands kung fu, but also understands philosophy, will write poems, good at art ......

Bruce Lee is originally from Shunde, Guangdong, was born in San Francisco, the United States, on November 27, 1940, belongs to the dragon, the breast name fine phoenix, the Bruce

Lee, whose original Chinese name was Li Zhenfan (said to mean "revitalize San Francisco") and clan name Yuanxin, was the second of five siblings.

It is said that when Lee was still in his infancy, a Chinese baby was needed for the Hollywood movie "The Golden Gate Girl," and Lee was brought in. If this is true, it should be considered the movie superstar's debut.

His father's name is Hoi Chuan Lee. ...... You may ask: Why did Li Haiquan dress his son up like this?

Because this is the classic costume of Li Haiquan himself. Li Haiquan is a comedian who is well known in the Guangdong area, one of the four great clowns of Cantonese opera, and often tours the world with his whole family, which is why Li was born in the United States.

Bruce Lee's mother, Ho Kam Tong, was half German and handsome

The family returned to live in Hong Kong when Bruce Lee was three months old. Since then until the age of 18, Bruce Lee lived in Hong Kong. This is a family photo of Bruce Lee when he was five years old.

The young Bruce Lee was already very handsome, and with his father's connections to show business, he became one of the more recognizable child stars. The first Hong Kong movie he appeared in was "Fortune Floats" when he was six years old and in the primary section of La Salle College.

Lee's participation in movie shoots was mostly scheduled during school vacations and sometimes after school. In order not to delay his studies, the director arranged his scenes at night whenever possible. Bruce Lee in the movie business has shown great dedication, according to family memories, if you want to shoot a movie, Bruce Lee will go to bed after dinner, to the time to go to the studio, his mother woke up with a call, hand and foot dressed, spirited with his father to go out and never late for the shooting. But as a student, he was a recalcitrant teenager who didn't listen in class, didn't read in class, and barely finished junior high school after dropping out several times and changing schools.

Then Bruce Lee always played some problem children or problem teenagers in the movie, behaving casually and cynically, and his movements were already quite unique to Bruce Lee's acting style.

Before he left for the United States at the age of 18, Bruce Lee acted in 22 Cantonese movies in Hong Kong, and was known by his stage names "Bruce Lee" and "Little Bruce Lee". Critics have called him an acting genius.

The film is one of Bruce Lee's early masterpieces.

Early Bruce Lee did not act in kung fu movies, on the contrary, he acted in many literary movies. Here he is playing the second young master Zhou Chong in Thunderstorm.

At the age of eighteen, Bruce Lee entered St. Francis Xavier's College for high school

Bruce Lee was a standard fashionable young man in this period, and one of his major hobbies was to have girlfriends.

Another hobby was motorcycles.

Another hobby was dancing. Bruce Lee was the champion of the Hong Kong Open Cha Cha Dance Competition in 1958

Of course, his biggest hobby was martial arts. Speaking of Bruce Lee's reasons for practicing martial arts, not because he was born a "great martial arts genius", precisely because he was physically weak since childhood, the need for exercise and conditioning, so the height of only one meter seventy-three, myopia as high as 1,000 degrees, the length of the two legs of the difference of one inch, Bruce Lee embarked on the road of martial arts.

His inspirational master was his dad, Li Haiquan, said to be a master of taijiquan, who taught Bruce Lee to practice taijiquan from the time he was seven years old.

When he was thirteen, Bruce Lee worshipped his first real master: Wing Chun master Ip Man. Ip Man was insightful about the connotations of Wing Chun: "Wing Chun emphasizes softness and quickness, not strength. ......" Under Ip Man's tutelage, Bruce Lee systematically learned Wing Chun, setting up a wooden stake in his home and practicing diligently against it every day. In addition, he also practiced Hung Gar, White Crane Fist, Tan Kung Fu, Shaolin Fist and other styles of boxing, but also studied the boxing style of Western boxing, while attending Western boxing training classes, while saving pocket money to buy the world champion boxer Luiz's boxing match documentary, from which he learned the champion's footwork, body style, boxing and training methods.

Shao Hansheng was another of Bruce Lee's masters. He said in an interview, "I made a deal with Bruce Lee that I would teach him martial arts and he would teach me dance. It took an ordinary person three to four weeks to learn my basic steps, and it took Bruce Lee only three nights to learn them by heart. But he didn't teach me to dance later (laughs) ......"

By then, Bruce Lee had grown into a robust young man who once won the Hong Kong Inter-School Boxing Championships, and often fought with his classmates and even upperclassmen outside the ring. As a classmate of Bruce Lee's, he also took punches from him, as recalled by his old man James Wong, who laughed at himself years later on a TV program, saying, "Now I realize that losing is inevitable... who can beat Bruce Lee?

"According to tests, the adult Bruce Lee's fist strength up to more than twice his own body weight, this strength in the world less people can and, even in youth, a punch, must be unstoppable.

In fact, because Bruce Lee's fighting record was so extensive, he faced police prosecution at any time, which is another reason why his family wanted him to leave Hong Kong as soon as possible

In May 1959, Bruce Lee came to the United States and settled down to make a living as a dance instructor

September, he moved to Seattle and enrolled in the Edison Technical Schools, where he attended classes during the day and worked as a waiter in a Chinatown restaurant in exchange for food and lodging at night. in exchange for room and board, and began a career of half work, half study.

By this time, Lee had suddenly become a hard-working, motivated student who stopped fighting, although he continued to practice kung fu outside of school.

Lee graduated from high school in 1961 and entered Washington State University in May with honors, where he majored in philosophy.

Bruce Lee loved philosophy and was a good thinker. Philosophical ideas permeated his career and life, and were reflected in many of his words:

--Empty your cup before you fill it up again.

--Take the lawless for the lawful, the infinite for the finite.

--If knowledge goes with the traditional pattern, you will only survive in the shadow of tradition, knowing only the old ways, you do not know yourself.

--It is a sign of bravery to regard something as worthless; it is also a sign of bravery to regard something as an absolute success or as a matter of course; but it is a sign of cowardice to be at a loss as to what to do about something. The same is true of the enemy; if you inspire yourself with confidence, you will be victorious in spirit, even if you fail.

--I have been told that a genius can create his own opportunities. In fact, one's deepest aspirations can create not only one's own opportunities, but even one's own genius.

--It is not enough to know, it is necessary to apply; it is not enough to hope, it is necessary to do.

--I will never say that I am number one in the world, but I will never admit that I am number two.

Bruce Lee also wrote many poems. The following one is called "Who Am I", which he gave to his good friend Lee Joong-Koo (Korean-American martial artist and "Father of American Taekwondo"). Unfortunately, I can't find the original English text, so I can't get a glimpse of the original, and poems translated from a foreign language are quite awkward after all.
