On July 20, 1973, Bruce Lee died at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong. He said many times during his lifetime, "I am a martial artist first, then an actor." His life was short, but his reputation has not diminished in the past 30 years.

The sudden death of Bruce Lee in his prime left countless questions about what could have killed him overnight. The cause of Bruce Lee's death was the subject of much debate. Here are a few different versions of the rumors:

A. Recurrence of injuries

One of the rumors is that Bruce Lee was a martial arts fanatic and had countless battles with people, especially when he was a teenager, and therefore many people associate him with injuries, especially in the head, and that he died because of problems in his brain.

There are also claims from martial arts practitioners that Bruce Lee did not follow traditional teachings and was overly hasty in practicing. Others say he practiced improperly, leading to a blood disorder.

B. Excessive Practicing

The saying from the martial arts world is that excessive practicing, or practicing inappropriately, can also damage the body and even lead to a violent death. It is said that he worked excessively hard to improve his martial arts skills leading to an eventual inability to carry the load, and that he was burdened with the pressure of fame in his final years. The double pressure caused him to nearly collapse.

C, drug abuse version

According to the test report at the time: Bruce Lee's body has marijuana left substances, the last few years of his spirit gradually fell into a state of disorders, unable to free themselves through psychological regulation, coupled with his fame too quickly, overworked, physical energy often have a sense of unsupportable, had to rely on stimulants.

But the court's review of the information did not list it as a fatal factor, but only related to a possible allergy to painkillers given to him by his girlfriend, Timothy Ding Pei, which was the only medically understandable possibility at the time.

D, sick version

Bruce Lee originally had heart and brain disease. After a full body checkup in Los Angeles, Bruce Lee was initially diagnosed with "brain problems" and refused to have his brain examined. Since he had collapsed at work two months before his death, it is assumed that the brain disease was directly related to the circumstances of his death.

E, assassination version

The reason is that Bruce Lee had offended many people, he was in the United States on the many offenses in the martial arts, many times by people assassination nearly killed. After he came to Hong Kong, his relationship with the martial arts people was even worse. Therefore, Bruce Lee in Hong Kong again by people assassination, so that this statement has added seven points of credibility.

F, superstition version

A said Bruce Lee and the name of the place where he lived, the last place to live in Hong Kong's Kowloon Peninsula, Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, the small dragon trapped in the pond. Others say it was the unlucky name of Bruce Lee's posthumous work, "The Game of Death".

The above claims are strange and bizarre, some are alarmist, some have some truth, but can not get conclusive evidence, and can not even provide clues to suspicion, is not enough to be convincing. So, what was the real cause of Bruce Lee's death? And how did it happen?

After the police's thorough investigation and analysis, the cause of Bruce Lee's death finally came to light:

July 20, about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Zou Wenhuai came to Bruce Lee's home, the two men discussed the script of the "Game of Death," and then went together to the home of Bruce Lee's girlfriend, Ting Pei, and they went to a restaurant together to have a meal and then they returned to the home of the Ting Pei, but when they arrived at Ting Pei's house, the Bruce felt a headache, so Ding Pei gave him a few aspirin to eliminate the headache, after taking the medicine, Bruce then lay down to rest.

Bruce Lee became the "mad dragon" of the world due to his severe illness, but fortunately, he was able to die without pain.

Excerpts from Bruce Lee Quotes

*I will never say that I am the best in the world, but I will never admit that I am the second best.

*The man, the living man, the man who created the martial arts is much more important and valuable than any of the various martial arts systems that have been established.

*The purpose of practicing Kung Fu is not to commit ourselves to breaking rocks or boards, we are more concerned with using it to influence our entire way of thinking and living.

*To learn only the mechanics of someone from a particular school, even if utilized to its limit, is not true combat. By maturity I mean the deepest realization of the self, not by being a prisoner of concepts.

*If the knowledge goes with the traditional pattern, you can only survive in the shadow of the tradition, understand only the old way, you do not know yourself.

*It is only when a person has self-esteem that he can clearly "guide" himself to the right path. Therefore, one should constantly maintain one's dignity, which can realize one's potential and promote one's performance. Not only that, but we should repeat the estimation of our potential every day to see if it has increased.

*Sometimes dignity is not easy to come by, and for the sake of certain interests, one may abandon all dignity; or for the sake of false fame, dignity is also disregarded. To summarize, what the world is generally enthusiastic about is making a name for itself.

*Nothing is good enough for reputation or self-esteem, so the first thing in life is to know oneself.

*Self-knowledge is the most difficult thing, and it is easy to realize that trying to utilize one's talents is actually a thorny path, so a man of genius should try to develop his career, and force himself to create a new career, and the result will be an achievement that will not be lost for all time.

*The biggest common problem of the general public is that they are too complacent and think they are great, so they are not motivated. The other kind of person is too unaware of his own satisfaction, insatiable greed, no self-discipline to speak of, let alone self-watchfulness. The greedy man cannot hide his own ugly face; his body is permeable to light, and he

lives a dramatic life, and as a result traps himself in an abyss from which he cannot extricate himself.

*Pride is one of the manifestations of wrong human emotions, while self-esteem is the basic latent human consciousness. Pride is abnormal when one imagines that he is a leader, that he is holier than others, and feels that he is more super-powerful than others, and then he looks down on others. Pride makes one impatient, makes one cower, pride is fragile and sensitive, when our confidence is shaken or a feeling of inferiority arises, pride is the abyss that separates man from his accomplishments, and in order to boast of himself, one will sacrifice his dignity.

*Why are we afraid? This is due to the fact that we cannot make a decision on the spot, and when we hesitate, we shrink. But if we are able to make a clear judgment about something, we will not shrink from it, whether it is worthwhile or not.

*It is also a sign of bravery to regard something as extremely 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.

*If you want to increase your confidence and dignity, you need to do more practical actions. Practical actions will show your talent and you will know how to get along with others.

*We must restrain our emotions and not be disturbed by them, as they will only hinder us from learning or developing our careers, and this is one of the steps to understand ourselves.

*People tell me that a genius can create his own opportunities. In fact, one's deepest expectations can not only create one's own opportunities, but even one's own genius!

*As time passes, heroes and heroines die just like ordinary people, and slowly fade into people's memories. And we are still alive. We are compelled to comprehend our selves, to discover our selves, to express our selves.

*It is not enough to know, you must apply; it is not enough to hope, you must do.

*Empty your cup before you can fill it again.
