In Boston's Chinatown, young Donnie Yen never misses every kung fu movie. After seeing the works of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, he can imitate their movements accurately. He even skipped school to watch kung fu movies. Out of curiosity and some rebellious psychology, he began to look outside and learn various styles of martial arts. Because of his talent in martial arts, Donnie Yen has made great progress in the pursuit of martial arts truth.

As a teenager, the rebellious Donnie Yen ran amok in a notoriously violent area of Boston. So his parents arranged for him to study with Jet Li in the Beijing Wushu Team. Donnie Yen became the first non-China athlete in the team, and the Beijing Wushu Team set a precedent. Later, more foreigners came. Although the training in the team was very strict, Donnie Yen wanted more, so he only stayed in Beijing for a while. On his way back to America, he passed by Hongkong and was introduced to the famous director Yuan Heping. Yuan Heping is looking for a new screen hero.

"I have studied martial arts for many years, and I will never carefully split martial arts again. I agree with Bruce Lee: We all have only two hands and two legs, so there won't be many different styles of martial arts. "
