As a person who loves movies, I have been familiar with the name Bruce Lee for a long time, but I am ashamed that I have never been clear about the origins of this person. I always feel that he is a star who has been dead for thirty years. , its starlight may only exist in the memory of the previous generation. In our generation, its brightness is extremely limited. After traveling to some places over the years, I discovered that Bruce Lee's status and influence are far beyond my imagination. His name is almost everywhere there are movies, and anyone who knows Chinese movies knows him. Later, I finally bought several of his masterpieces and biopics, and after seeing them, I was stunned. It turns out that he is not only a majestic appearance, but also moves like thunder and lightning, far beyond the fancy fists and embroidered legs of many kung fu stars today. It turns out that he is not only a kung fu movie star, but also a martial arts master who has dedicated his life to Spread and enhance Chinese martial arts; it turns out that he not only knows how to act, but also has his own profound insights and practical investment in movies. His later works can truly be called "Bruce Lee's works"; it turns out that he not only understands movies and kung fu, but also understands philosophy and can compose poetry. , good at art...

Bruce Lee was originally from Shunde, Guangdong, and was born in San Francisco, the United States on November 27, 1940. He is a dragon, his nickname is Xifeng, and his English name is Bruce

Lee, his original Chinese name Li Zhenfan (said to mean "revitalizing the three vassals"), whose family name is Yuanxin, is the second among five brothers and sisters.

It is said that when Bruce Lee was still in his infancy, the Hollywood movie "Girls of the Golden Gate" needed a Chinese baby to star in, and Bruce Lee was picked up. If this is true, it should be considered the film star's debut.

His father’s name is Li Haiquan. ...You may ask: Why does Li Haiquan dress his son like this?

Because this is Li Haiquan’s classic appearance.

Li Haiquan is a very famous comedian in Guangdong and one of the four most famous comedians in Cantonese opera. He often takes his family to tour around the world. This is why Bruce Lee was born in the United States.

Bruce Lee's mother, He Jintang, is half German and has a handsome appearance.

When Bruce Lee was three months old, the family returned to Hong Kong to live. From then until the age of eighteen, Bruce Lee lived in Hong Kong. This is a family photo of Bruce Lee when he was five years old.

The young Bruce Lee was already very handsome. Coupled with his father's relationship with the entertainment industry, he became a relatively well-known child star. The first Hong Kong movie he starred in was "The Rich Clouds" when he was six years old and studying in the primary school of Lasalle College.

Bruce Lee's film shootings were mostly arranged during school holidays, and sometimes he also had to participate in filming after school. In order not to delay his studies, the director arranged his plays to be performed at night as much as possible. Bruce Lee showed a strong professionalism in his film career. According to family memories, if he wanted to make a movie, Bruce Lee would go to bed after dinner. When it was time to go to the studio, his mother would wake up as soon as he woke up and get dressed neatly. He packed his bags and went out with his father energetically. He was never late for filming. But as a student, he was a naughty boy. He refused to listen in class and did not study after class. After dropping out of school and changing schools many times, he barely finished junior high school.

At that time, Bruce Lee always played some problem children or teenagers in movies. He behaved casually and cynically, and his expressions and movements already had the unique performance style of Bruce Lee in the later period.

Before going to the United States at the age of 18, Bruce Lee participated in 22 Cantonese films in Hong Kong and used stage names such as "Lee Dragon" and "Little Lee Hoi Chuen". Critics are already calling him an acting genius.

"Alone in the Sea" is one of Bruce Lee's early masterpieces.

Bruce Lee did not act in kung fu movies in his early days. On the contrary, he acted in many art films. This is playing the second young master Zhou Chong in "Thunderstorm".

At the age of eighteen, Bruce Lee entered high school at St. Francis College.

At this period, Bruce Lee was a standard fashionable young man, and one of his hobbies was having girlfriends.

Another great hobby is motorcycles.

Another hobby is dancing. Bruce Lee was the champion of the Hong Kong Cha Cha Dance Open in 1958.

Of course, his biggest hobby was martial arts. Speaking of the reason why Bruce Lee practiced martial arts, it was not because he was born as a "peerless martial arts wizard", but precisely because he had been weak since childhood and needed to exercise and condition himself. As a result, he was only 1.73 meters tall, had a thousand degrees of myopia, and two Bruce Lee, who had an inch difference in leg length, embarked on the path of martial arts.

His first master was his father, Li Haiquan, who was said to be a Tai Chi master and taught Bruce Lee Tai Chi practice since he was seven years old.

At the age of thirteen, Bruce Lee had his first real master: Wing Chun master Ip Man. Ip Man was very insightful about the connotation of Wing Chun: "Wing Chun emphasizes softness and speed, not strength..." Under Ip Man's training, Bruce Lee systematically learned Wing Chun, set up a wooden stake at home, and practiced Wing Chun every day. Practice diligently in front of the wooden stakes. In addition, he has also practiced Hong Quan, White Crane Quan, Tan Kung Fu, Shaolin Quan and other boxing styles. He has also studied Western boxing techniques. While attending Western boxing training classes, he saved his pocket money to buy the boxing match documentary of world boxing champion Louis, from which Learn the footwork, bodywork, boxing techniques and training methods of the boxing champion.

Shao Hansheng is another master of Bruce Lee. He said in an interview: "I made a deal with Bruce Lee. I taught him martial arts and he taught me dance. It would take an ordinary person three to four weeks to learn my basic footwork. Bruce Lee learned it in just three nights." I was very familiar with it. But he didn’t teach me how to dance later (laughing)...”

At that time, Bruce Lee had grown into a strong young man and once won the Hong Kong inter-school boxing championship. I often fight with classmates and even senior classmates. According to the memories of Huang Zhan, as a classmate of Bruce Lee, he also suffered from Bruce Lee's fist. Many years later, he laughed at himself on a TV show and said: "Now I know that losing is inevitable. Who can beat Bruce Lee?

" According to tests, adult Bruce Lee's punching power was more than twice his own body weight. This kind of strength is something few people in the world can match. Even in his youth, a punch must have been unstoppable.

In fact, because Bruce Lee had too many fighting records, he faced police prosecution at any time. This was another reason why his family wanted him to leave Hong Kong as soon as possible

In May 1959, Bruce Lee came to He settled in the United States and made a living by teaching people to dance

In September, he moved to Seattle and enrolled in Edison Technical School. He took classes during the day and worked as a waiter in a Chinatown restaurant in the evening in exchange for room and board, starting a work-study career. .

At this time, Bruce Lee suddenly became a diligent and motivated good student. Although he continued to practice kung fu in his spare time, he no longer fought. In 1961, Bruce Lee graduated from high school and was admitted to Washington State University with honors in May, majoring in philosophy.

Bruce Lee loved philosophy and was good at thinking. Philosophical thoughts permeated his career and life, and were reflected in many of his speeches:

——Empty your cup, Only then can it be refilled.

——Considering the impossible as the law, the infinite as the finite.

——If knowledge follows the traditional model, you can only live in the shadow of tradition. You only understand the old ways, but you don’t understand yourself.

——Regarding something as 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 regard something as an absolute success or a matter of course, it is also a sign of courage; If you are helpless, then you are shrinking. The same goes for facing enemies. As long as you use confidence to encourage yourself, even if you fail, you will still be victorious mentally.

——I was told 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.

——Knowing is not enough, you must apply it; hoping is not enough, you must do it.

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

Bruce Lee also wrote many poems. The following song is called "Who Am I", and he gave it to his friend Lee Jun-koo (Korean-American martial artist, "Father of American Taekwondo").

It's a pity that I can't find the original English text, so I can't fully understand the original appearance. Poems translated from foreign languages ??are quite awkward after all.
