Bruce lee was born on 27th of November, 1940 in San Francisco, in the United States
He was a Hong Kong actor, martial arts instructor and founder of the Jeet Kune Do. One of the most famous movie of him is Fist of Fury. He was the most influential martial artist of the 20th century. Also he is a cultural icon of Chinese Kung Fu.
Lee was the forth child of five children in his family. His father called Lee Hoi-Chuen was a famous Hong Kong Cantonese opera singer and film actor. His mother named Grace Ho was a literary author.
Lee became a child star when his father discovered his acting talent. Also the audience appreciated his acting skill in a movie called My son A-Chang. So that he became more famous and many people thought he would be a famous actor when he grew up.
Bruce Lee Started to learn Kung Fu when he was seven years old. His father thought that his body was so weak. He wanted him to have a stronger body. So that his father let him to learn Tai Ji.
Lee learnt Wing Chun from Ip Man while he studied in La Salle College. He did Kung Fu exercise very hard until midnight everyday so his body became stronger
and his Kung Fu became skillful and better.
In March of 1961, Lee studied philosophy in University of Washington. Also he met his wife Linda while he was studying. He build up Jeet Kune Do in second year of his life in university. He taught student and exercised himself very hard. His kung Fu skill became stronger, especially on his legs.
In 1968, Bruce lee return to work on movie. He tried to act in a few of action movies although these movies were not very famous. but It made him decided to come back to hong kong for action movie.
After Lee came back to hong kong. He started to act in action movie as Fist of Fury, Way of the dragon etc. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films were changed the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity. Also he change the icon of Chinese to west which is weak and useless became strong and Kung Fu Master.
Unfortunetly, he died on 20th of July in 1973. He was discovered at home of Ting Pei which was his best friend. Doctors diagnosed cerebral edema was a main reason of his death.
He build up Jeet Kune Do concept and act a lot of action movies. It made a lot of western people know more Chinese Kung Fu and culture. Also he change the image of Chinese to western people. Chinese people are strong!
Jeet Kune Do was built up by Bruce Lee which is a Kung Fu especially for street fighting
Lee concluded that the fight was wasted too many time and he had failed to live up to his potential using his Wing Chun skills. He thought that traditional martial arts skills were too ossify in street fighting. So that Lee decided to develop a system with an emphasis on "practicality, flexibility, speed, and efficiency". He started to use different methods of training such as weight training for strength etc.
He is my role model because he never give up in Kung FU and acting. Although some of people said that he just good at Kung FU and no acting skill. So he tried to use the movie called the death of game to prove he was a good actor , not just in Kung fu. He wanted to show he was a good actor too. However, he could not finish it anymore. Beside it, his kung fu was really wonderful but I can’t enjoy his new movie anymore!
