Dragon journey
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, USA, and spent his childhood and adolescence in Hongkong. Bruce Lee was very thin when he was young. His father taught his son to practice Tai Ji Chuan when he was 7 years old for his strong physique. At the age of 13, Bruce Lee systematically studied Wing Chun Boxing with the famous teacher Ye Wen, and set up a wooden stake at home, practicing against it every day. In addition, he also practiced Hongquan, Baihe Boxing, Tan Leg, Shaolin Boxing, Poke Foot and other boxing styles, which laid a solid foundation for later creating Jeet Kune Do.
In order to improve the level of martial arts, Bruce Lee not only studied China’s boxing, but also studied western boxing. While attending western boxing training classes, he saved his pocket money to buy a documentary about the boxing match of Louis, the world champion, from which he learned the footwork, posture, boxing and training methods of the champion. He also often participates in boxing competitions inside and outside the school, constantly enriching his actual combat experience.
Go to the United States for further study and create Jeet Kune Do.
Fearing that Bruce Lee would fail in school, at the age of 18, Bruce Lee’s parents decided to send Bruce Lee to study in the United States. Bruce Lee’s life in Seattle is quite hard. After he entered the university, he devoted all his energy to studying martial arts besides studying. He organized a "China Kung Fu Team" at school, and often conducted training and performances on campus, which won the praise of teachers and students.
Bruce Lee gradually became proficient in Kung Fu and even reached a higher level through continuous improvement. Among them, "Li Sanjiao", "Inch Fist" and "Hooking Hands" are his unique skills. Bruce Lee is a generalist. Besides mastering all kinds of boxing, he is also good at various instruments such as long sticks, short sticks and nunchakus, and he also studies Qigong and hard work.
In order to promote Chinese martial arts, Bruce Lee rented a corner of a parking lot on campus during his sophomore year, and put up the brand of "Zhenfan National Art Museum". He practiced while teaching and worked hard, and his skills improved greatly, especially his leg skills. In the Zhenfan National Art Museum, he met Linda, a female medical student who came to study martial arts. After more than a year of communication, they gradually developed feelings. In August 1964, they officially got married. After their marriage, Bruce Lee and his wife both dropped out of school and joined forces to run a martial arts school.
Since the news that Bruce Lee subdued four knife-wielding gangsters in Chinatown, Florida, and bravely saved Chinese girls was published in the newspaper, Bruce Lee’s name has spread all over the United States, and TV stations such as Florida have also asked him to perform leg skills, and China Kung Fu has attracted people’s attention. And the museum of Zhen Fan Guo Shu, which he founded, has gradually flourished. In order to expand his influence, Bruce Lee often participated in martial arts competitions everywhere, and successively opened martial arts branches and apprentices in Seattle, Oakland and Los Angeles. The scale and equipment of the martial arts museum are constantly improving, and many prominent martial arts stars in the world, such as American karate champion Rolex, are vying to worship him as a teacher, and famous Hollywood movie stars such as James Hempin and Steve are his disciples. Ali, the world champion, also paid a visit to exchange experiences with him. Boxers of various schools in the United States often gather in the martial arts school in Bruce Lee to discuss martial arts, and his aim of "making friends with martial arts" has achieved the expected results.
Set foot in the film industry, kung fu shocked the world.
In the early 1970s, a wave of China Kung Fu movies swept the world. The resounding name of Bruce Lee shocked the whole world.
In the summer of 1971, Bruce Lee accepted the invitation of Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company, and signed two films for 15,000 US dollars. The first film was "Tangshan Big Brother" with the theme of China martial arts. The film’s budget is only $100,000, and the script was written while filming. In this case, it has set a record for the highest box office since the opening of Hong Kong, reaching HK$ 3 million. After Big Brother in Tangshan, Bruce Lee filmed Jingwumen, which doubled the budget compared with Big Brother in Tangshan and caused a greater sensation. Bruce Lee’s fearless spirit and amazing fighting skills in the film, especially his performances of "Li Sanjiao", "Lying Boxing" and "nunchakus", are full of praise. Since then, Bruce Lee has organized the Concord Film Company, edited, directed and acted in the films "The Raptors Crossing the River" and "The Game of Death", and also co-filmed "enter the dragon" with Warner Film Company of the United States, and personally played the leading role. Just as Bruce Lee was ambitious and ready to finish filming The Game of Death, he died suddenly in Hong Kong on July 20th, 1973 at the age of 32 due to drug allergy.
The cause of death is a mystery
Bruce Lee died more than 30 years ago, and the cause of death is still a mystery. After studying Bruce Lee’s autopsy report, an American expert on the cause of death thought that Bruce Lee died of a rare sudden epileptic death, rather than brain edema caused by drug allergy, because drug allergy only made the patient’s neck swell.
Phil Jenkins, an expert at Cook County Death Cause Research Office in Chicago, USA, pointed out that Sudden Epilepsy can cause epileptic symptoms, leading to the failure of the heart or lungs. This disease causes nearly 500 deaths in the UK every year, and the main victims are men aged 20 to 40. Lack of sleep and stress will increase the chances of getting sick. Bruce Lee’s case is in line with the relevant conditions. He was in his prime at the time of the incident and was under great physical and mental stress.
Bruce Lee’s autopsy report after death indicated that the cause of death was cerebral edema, and it was suspected that he was allergic to the painkillers he took. However, Phil Jenkins said that drug allergy often leads to swelling of the neck rather than brain, so he didn’t believe that Bruce Lee died of drug allergy. |
