Bruce Lee's Life
Bruce Lee is a famous martial arts fighter and a world-famous kung fu movie performer. "The King of Kung Fu" Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, USA. Spent in Hong Kong. Bruce Lee's father, Li Haiquan, was a native of Nanhai County, Guangdong. He was one of the four major comedians in Hong Kong Cantonese opera at that time and was good at martial arts. His mother, He Jintang, was the daughter of a great man in Shanghai. After their marriage, they had two daughters.
In 1937, Japan stepped up its invasion of China, and Cantonese opera in Hong Kong gradually declined due to the war. Therefore, Li Haiquan took his troupe and family across the Pacific to perform in the United States. In San Francisco (San Francisco), the eldest son Li Zhongtan was born. A year later, on November 27, 1940, the second son was born. He Jinshang made a long-distance call from San Francisco to inform her husband, who was performing in Washington, and the two discussed it. The boy was named Li Zhenfan, hoping that he would become famous in San Francisco in the future. This Li Zhenfan was Bruce Lee who would become world-famous in the future. In order to declare his household registration, he also gave Li Zhenfan an English name, Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee's stage name was given by the director when he was the protagonist of the Hong Kong movie "Little Boy" when he was 9 years old.
Bruce Lee spent his childhood and youth in Hong Kong. About four months after he was born, his father Li Haiquan finished his performance in the United States and returned to Hong Kong with his family. Bruce Lee was very thin when he was young. In order to make his son strong, Li Haiquan taught him Tai Chi when he was 7 years old. When Bruce Lee was 13 years old, he systematically learned Wing Chun from the famous teacher Ip Man. He set up a wooden stake at home and practiced diligently on the wooden stake every day. In addition, he also practiced Hong Fist, White Crane Boxing, Tan Kick, Shaolin Boxing, Jab Kick and other boxing styles, which laid a solid foundation for his later creation of Jeet Kune Do. He loves martial arts and can be described as "obsessed with martial arts." Once, he went to the street with his friends. As he was walking, he suddenly sat on the side of the road and meditated, and then jumped up to practice martial arts. Passers-by looked at him sideways. In order to improve his martial arts level, Bruce Lee not only practiced Chinese boxing diligently, but also studied Western boxing techniques. While attending Western boxing training classes, he saved his pocket money to buy the boxing match videos of world boxing champion Louis; he learned the boxing boxing techniques from them. Footwork, bodywork, boxing and training methods. He also often participated in boxing matches inside and outside school. Continuously enrich practical experience.
Under the warning of his family, Bruce Lee decided to leave Hong Kong and study in the United States when he was 18 years old. Before leaving, his father earnestly told him: "Study hard and be a promising person." The old boxer Ip Man also earnestly hoped that he would "never forget to practice 'kung fu' besides studying, and promote Chinese martial arts."
Goed to the United States to further study his own Jeet Kune Do
At the end of November 1958, Bruce Lee took the "Cleveland President" ship and headed for San Francisco, the United States, via Kobe, Yokohama, and Hawaii. At first he sought refuge in his father's love, and then moved to Seattle to live with his brother Li Zhongtan.
Bruce Lee's life in Seattle was quite difficult. He had to ride his bicycle to the newspaper office every morning to pick up newspapers, and then deliver them door to door. Later, he washed dishes in a Chinese restaurant and tutored in English and practiced kung fu in his free time. Three years later, he graduated from Edison Vocational School and was admitted to the Department of Philosophy at Washington State University. After entering university, in addition to studying, he focused all his energy on studying martial arts. He organized a "Chinese Kung Fu Team" in the school, which often trained and performed on campus, winning praise from teachers and students. There was a Japanese student named Yamamoto who was a Japanese three-stage karate boxer. He always regarded himself as a master and always pointed fingers and made irresponsible remarks about Bruce Lee's martial arts and the Chinese Kung Fu team. The team members were very angry after hearing this and said they had to beat him. However, Bruce Lee was deeply influenced by Chinese martial arts. Shen Zuoqi said to the team members: "The purpose of Chinese Kung Fu is to strengthen the body to defend yourself, and you must not attack others unless you have to." "One time, the Chinese Kung Fu team was performing, and Yamamoto came to "trouble" it again. Bruce Lee warned him, but he not only refused to accept it, but also challenged Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee couldn't bear it anymore and decided to compete with him. The two of them fought. Yamamoto relied on his strong body to attack frequently, but Bruce Lee, not knowing what was going on, temporarily took the defensive position. After three or four rounds, Bruce Lee spotted the flaw, turned from defense to offense, and knocked Yamamoto to the ground with heavy punches. When Yamamoto stood up and was about to counterattack, Bruce Lee feinted twice and suddenly turned sideways and kicked Yamamoto to the ground again.
From then on, Bruce Lee's kung fu became even more admired.
In 1964, the United States held the National Karate Competition in California. Bruce Lee, who was only 24 years old at the time, swept all the contestants and won the championship. Later, three karate champions and a judo champion came to compete with him, and he fought hard to defeat them one by one.
After practicing hard and striving for excellence, Bruce Lee gradually became more proficient in Kung Fu and even reached a higher level. Among them, "Li Sanjiao", "Inch Fist" and "Hook Leak Hand" are his unique skills. Bruce Lee is known as "Lee's three legs". Once, in Chinatown, Florida, he saw four knife-wielding gangsters molesting a Chinese girl. He immediately rushed forward and fought the four gangsters with his bare hands. With Tantian's flying kicks and agile punches, he beat the four gangsters to the ground and fled with their heads in their hands. Since then, his bravery to save the girl has been widely praised in the United States.
Bruce Lee's "inch punch" is also very famous. He was invited to the Canadian Boxing Association to perform inch boxing performances. He aimed at the boxing meter and struck hard, and the pointer on the boxing meter immediately pointed to three hundred and fifty pounds. At that time, the audience screamed: "World record! World record!" Because Bruce Lee weighed 145 pounds and punched with such heavy power, it was unprecedented.
The "missing hand" is also another one of Bruce Lee's tricks. The so-called "missing hand". It means to seal and beat immediately, to nail and collect immediately, and to cut and beat at the same time. Once, Bruce Lee was invited to the Hong Kong Film Festival. After hearing the news, seven or eight coaches asked to "fight" with him. Bruce Lee knew that this was a disguised challenge. He asked the coaches to select the most powerful opponent, and claimed that this time he would only use two hands to fight, instead of using his good kicking skills. When the selected Master Huang came on stage and took action, Bruce Lee immediately sealed his hands. Master Huang tried to free himself many times, but Bruce Lee's hands were tightly sealed like magnets and could not escape. When Master Huang was feeling embarrassed, he felt a sudden slap on his face, which caused a burst of ridicule from the onlookers.
Master Huang became so angry that he immediately took off his feet. Bruce Lee's quick eyesight and quick hands made a "bang bang" sound. Master Huang stumbled like a horse, his limbs were on the ground and he couldn't get up.
Once, martial artist Zhang Zhongwen went to the United States to perform, and Bruce Lee was invited to make a guest appearance. I saw him clenching his fists in front of the microphone, and punched out suddenly. The sound of "whooshing" punches suddenly came from the microphone. The Chinese and foreign audiences in the audience were all dumbfounded and applauded thunderously.
< p>Bruce Lee was an all-rounder. In addition to being proficient in various boxing techniques, he was also good at various instruments such as long sticks, short sticks and two-section sticks, and studied Qigong and hard skills. It is said that his fingers could be bitten with his teeth without feeling pain. Bruce Lee started from actual combat, based on Chinese martial arts, absorbed the advantages and specialties of Western boxing, karate, road boxing, Thai boxing and other fighting techniques, and summed up many years of experience to create a boxing technique of his own - Jeet Kune Do.Set up a museum to teach apprentices and promote real kung fu
In order to promote Chinese martial arts, Bruce Lee rented a corner of the parking lot on campus during his second year of college and hung up the "Zhenfan Guoshu" Pavilion" sign. The monthly fee is $15 per apprentice. He taught and practiced at the same time. He worked hard and his skills improved greatly, especially his leg skills.
In the Zhenfan Chinese Martial Arts Hall, he met Linda, a female medical student who came to study martial arts. After more than a year of dating, they gradually developed feelings. Finally, in August 1964, they Officially married. After getting married, Bruce Lee and his wife both dropped out of school and worked together to run a martial arts gym. They even canceled their honeymoon trip and devoted all their energy to martial arts.
Since the news of Bruce Lee subduing four knife-wielding gangsters with his bare hands and bravely saving a Chinese girl in Chinatown, Florida was published in newspapers, Bruce Lee's name has spread throughout the United States, and television stations in Florida and other states have also invited him to perform. Kung Fu and Chinese Kung Fu have attracted people's attention. And the Zhenfan Guoshu Museum he founded gradually prospered. In order to expand his influence, Bruce Lee often participated in martial arts competitions in famous places, and successively opened martial arts branches in Seattle, Oakland, Los Angeles and other places to teach apprentices. The scale and equipment of the martial arts halls are constantly improving. For example, the martial arts branch in Los Angeles has a construction area of ??600 square meters. The practice equipment includes boxing springs, iron stakes, Jingwu finger stakes, knives, guns; swords, sticks, and boxing meters. machine, arm strength training machine; eye training machine, leg strength training machine, etc.
Due to the popularity of Bruce Lee, many students came here to study, and the fees were greatly increased. In the past, the fee was only 15 US dollars per person per month, but the hourly fee ranged from 27 to 50 US dollars. Although the tuition is expensive, it is still popular. Many prominent martial arts stars in the world, such as American karate champion Royce Royce, are vying to become his disciples. Famous Hollywood movie stars such as James Yombe and Steve Jobs are his disciples. World boxing champion Ali also visited him to exchange experiences with him. Boxers from various schools in the United States often gathered in Bruce Lee's martial arts gym to compete in martial arts. His purpose of "making friends through martial arts" has achieved the desired results.
In the film industry, Kung Fu shocked the world
In the early 1970s, a craze for Chinese Kung Fu films swept the world. The resounding name Bruce Lee shocked the world.
As early as 1965 to 1971, Bruce Lee made guest appearances in the Hollywood TV series "Return of the Dawn", "Batman", "Brown Days", and "Yanqiu Te", and served as the representative of the United States. Film companies such as Fortune, Ramon, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer have produced TV series and movies such as "The Green Hornet," "The Blind Man," and "Marlowe." However, American directors often ask him to play a Chinese gangster who is defeated by the male protagonist's Western boxing. He was very angry. At the same time, some European and American people threatened: "Although Judo and Karate originated from China, Japan and other countries have become better than others. Chinese martial arts has fallen behind and is even on the verge of elimination." Therefore, Bruce Lee made up his mind: "I In order to bring glory to Chinese martial arts, I decided to put Chinese Kung Fu on the screen and win glory for Chinese martial arts. "This is Bruce Lee's starting point for making Kung Fu movies. What's more important is: "I am a Chinese" - this is what Bruce Lee can't forget at all times, and it is also the voice of millions of Chinese descendants living overseas. In the summer of 1971, Bruce Lee accepted the invitation of Hong Kong Jiale Film Company to film "Brother Tangshan" with the theme of Chinese martial arts. The film depicts the story of the struggles of overseas Chinese. In the film, he plays Zheng Chaoan, a young overseas Chinese who comes to Bangkok from Hong Kong to work as a worker in an ice factory. The boss used ice making as a guise to hide drugs in ice and sell them. Workers who knew this secret were killed one by one. Zheng Chaoan witnessed the evil forces becoming so arrogant, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward to fight against the evil party and eliminate harm to the people. In the film, Zheng Chaoan's sharp fists and kicks when fighting the evil gang made the audience intoxicated. Cheers and applause came one after another. "Brother Tangshan" set a record for the highest box office of a movie since the opening of Hong Kong, reaching HK$3 million. Bruce Lee's fame then spread from Hong Kong to all parts of Southeast Asia.
After "Brother Tangshan", Bruce Lee filmed "Fist of Fury", which caused an even greater sensation. Bruce Lee plays Chen Zhen, a young man who returns to Shanghai to attend the funeral of Huo Yuanjia, the founder of the Si Shi Jing Wu Association. The film describes how Chen Zhen breaks into the Japanese martial arts gym alone after learning that his master died from poison poisoned by a Japanese martial artist: he shatters the wishes of the "sick man of East Asia" and "Chinese people quarrel with dogs"; and then uses his fearless spirit to Fighting with Japanese karate boxers and Russian martial arts masters, he was shot dead by Japanese thugs after the bloody battle. Bruce Lee's fearless spirit and amazing fighting skills in the film, especially his performance of "Lee's Three Kicks" and "Fighting on the Ground", are full of praise. Thanks to Bruce Lee's unremitting efforts, Kung Fu movies have once again been brought to a new level and broke the record of one million Hong Kong dollars sold at the box office.
After that, Bruce Lee formed his own Concord Film Company, wrote, directed, and acted in films such as "Way of the Dragon" and "Game of Death". "Enter the Dragon" and played the leading role himself. The above four films shot by Bruce Lee shocked the world of film and martial arts.
During the intense days of filming, Bruce Lee still did not forget to practice hard and compete with martial arts merchants from various countries to improve his actual combat level. When Bruce Lee was filming "Brother Tangshan" in Bangkok, under the introduction of the overseas Chinese boxer Ah Jin, he competed with Chalchai (transliteration), a Thai boxing champion who had won multiple championships. After a fierce fight, Bruce Lee defeated this Opponent, thereby rewriting the history of the Chinese boxing champion losing every battle against the Thai boxing champion.
Winning glory for Chinese martial arts.
When Bruce Lee was filming his third kung fu movie "The Way of the Dragon" in Hong Kong, he chose two former international hand-do champions, Lawless and Robert Wall, as his opponents, and asked to be defeated by him. At first, the two karate champions were unconvinced; so Bruce Lee and each of them brought their assistants to an additional designated location for a stop-and-go "friendly competition" before filming the movie. As a result, in just a few rounds, Bruce Lee won with points. To win; the two international karate champions had to be convinced.
Just when Bruce Lee was ambitious and ready to continue filming "Game of Death", he suddenly died in Hong Kong on July 20, 1973 due to drug allergy. He was only 33 years old.

Indeed, there are very few oriental martial artists who can break through the realm of country and race like Bruce Lee. And his reputation remained undiminished even after his death.

Bruce Lee died suddenly in his prime, leaving countless questions. What could happen that could cause him to die in one night? For a time, there were different opinions on the cause of Bruce Lee's death, and there was no consensus. The following are several different versions of the rumors:
A. Recurrence of Injury Version
It is said that Bruce Lee was a martial arts idiot, and he fought countless duels especially when he was a teenager, so many people Considering that he may have accumulated injuries, especially to his head, he eventually died of brain problems.
There are also some opinions from some martial arts practitioners who believe that Bruce Lee did not follow traditional teachings and was too anxious and damaged his body. Others said that his improper training methods caused blood disorders.
B. Over-practicing version
According to the martial arts community: over-practicing, or improper practice, will also damage the body and even lead to sudden death. It is said that in order to improve his martial arts, he worked too hard and eventually became unable to bear the burden. In addition, in the last few years, under the pressure of becoming famous, he felt a heavy burden on his heart. The double pressure nearly collapsed him.
C. Substance abuse version
According to the test report at the time: Bruce Lee had substances left behind by marijuana in his body. In the last few years, he gradually fell into a state of mental disorder and could not escape through psychological adjustment. Himself, coupled with the fact that he became famous too quickly, worked too hard, and often felt exhausted in terms of physical strength and energy, he had to rely on stimulants.
However, judging from the court review materials, it was not listed as a fatal factor, but was related to possible allergies to the painkillers his girlfriend Ding Pei gave him later. This was also medically limited at the time. The only possibility of understanding.
D. Disease version
Bruce Lee originally had heart disease and brain disease. During a full-body examination in Los Angeles, Bruce Lee, who was initially diagnosed as having a "brain problem," refused to have his brain examined. Furthermore, because he fainted at the company two months before his death, it is inferred that the encephalopathy was directly related to the circumstances of his death.
E. Assassination Version
The reason is that Bruce Lee has offended many people, and he offended many people in the martial arts world in the United States. He was assassinated many times and almost died. After arriving in Hong Kong, his relationship with people in the martial arts world was even worse. Therefore, Bruce Lee was assassinated again in Hong Kong, which adds seven points to the credibility of this statement.
F. Superstitious version
It is said that the name of Bruce Lee conflicts with the place where he lived. The last place he lived was in Kowloon Tong, Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong. Kowloon trapped Bruce Lee in the pond. Others say that the name of Bruce Lee's posthumous work "Game of Death" is unlucky.
The above statements are all kinds of strange, some are alarmist, and some have some truth, but they cannot provide conclusive evidence or even clues to suspicion, which is not convincing enough. So, what was the real cause of death of Bruce Lee? What happened?
After careful investigation and analysis by the police, the truth about Bruce Lee’s death was finally revealed:
At about 11 o’clock in the afternoon on July 20, Zou Wenhuai came to Bruce Lee’s house, and the two After discussing the script of "Game of Death", they immediately went to Bruce Lee's girlfriend Ding Pei's house. They went to a restaurant to have dinner together.

Bruce Lee He already suffered from a brain tumor and was allergic to drugs caused by taking aspirin, which resulted in his sudden brain death. Bruce Lee was eventually tortured by a serious illness and became what people call a "mad dragon". Fortunately, Bruce Lee was able to die without pain.
Excerpts from Bruce Lee's quotations
*I will never say that I am the best in the world, but I will never admit that I am the second.
* People, living people, people who create martial arts are much more important and more valuable than any established various martial arts systems.
*The purpose of practicing kung fu is not to break rocks or wooden boards, but we are more concerned with using it to affect our entire thinking and lifestyle.
* Just learning the tricks of a certain sect or someone, even if you use them to the limit, is not a real fight. The so-called maturity refers to the deepest self-awareness, rather than being a prisoner of concepts.
*If knowledge follows the traditional model, you can only live in the shadow of tradition. You only understand the old ways, but you do not understand yourself.
* Only when a person has self-esteem can he clearly "guide" himself towards the right path. Therefore, people should constantly maintain their dignity. Dignity can explore their potential and promote their work effectiveness. Not only that, we need to repeatedly estimate our potential every day to see if it has increased.
* Sometimes, dignity is not easy to obtain. For certain interests, all dignity may be abandoned; or for the sake of false reputation, dignity may be disregarded. To sum up, what people in the world are generally passionate about is seeking fame and reputation.
*It is not law to seek fame or be arrogant, so the first important thing in life is to understand yourself.
*Self-understanding is the most difficult. We can easily realize that wanting to use our talents is actually full of thorns. Therefore, a talented person should try his best to develop his career and force himself to create new things. Karma and achievements are eternal.
*The biggest common problem among ordinary people is that they are too complacent and blindly think that they are great, so they lack ambition. The other kind of people are too insatiable, greedy, and have no self-discipline at all, let alone self-vigilance. A greedy person cannot hide his ugly face, his body is transparent, he lives a dramatic life, and as a result, he falls into an abyss from which he cannot extricate himself.
*Pride is one of the manifestations of human wrong emotions, while self-esteem is the basic latent consciousness of human beings. Pride is abnormal. When people imagine that they are a leader, they are holier than others, and they feel that they are more powerful than others, so they look down on others. Pride makes people impatient and timid. Pride is fragile and sensitive. When our confidence is shaken or we have a sense of inferiority, pride is the abyss that separates people from their achievements. In order to boast about themselves, people will sacrifice themselves. dignity.
*Why are we afraid? This is because we cannot act decisively, and when we hesitate, we will shrink. But if we can make a clear judgment on something, whether it has merit or not, we will not flinch.
* Treating something as extremely worthless is also a sign of bravery; treating something as an absolute success or taking it for granted is also a sign of bravery, but if you treat something as an absolute success or a matter of course, If you are helpless about something, then you are shrinking. The same goes for facing enemies. As long as you use faith to inspire yourself, even if you fail, you will still be victorious mentally.
* If you want to increase your confidence and dignity, just take more practical actions. Practical actions can show your talents, and at the same time, you will know how to get along with others harmoniously.
*We must restrain our emotions and not be troubled by them. Bad emotions will only hinder our learning or career development. This is also a step in understanding ourselves.
*Others told me that a genius can create his own opportunities. In fact, a person's deep expectations can not only create his own opportunities, but even create his own genius!
*As time goes by, heroes will die like ordinary people and will slowly disappear from people's memories. And we are still alive. We have to understand ourselves, discover ourselves, and express ourselves.
*Knowing is not enough, you must apply it; hoping is not enough, you must do it.
*Empty your cup before you can refill it.
