It turned out that the former "forbidden kingdom" was buried here.

"Bruce Lee always thinks that he still has a long way to go, and he has more things to do. For China people, what they want to show the world is just the beginning. He is proud that he is a China native, and he hopes to show some of China's culture to the world through movies. " I'd like to quote Linda's comment on her husband Bruce Lee as the beginning of the article.

I knew the name Bruce Lee when I was very young. At that time, I knew little about his greatness or his contribution to China Kung Fu. It was not until I grew up that I became fascinated by Hong Kong Kung Fu movies. In the late 198s and early 199s, Jackie Chan's kung fu films, such as Plan A, drunken boxing and so on, were hard to find in small shops that rented and sold videos in the streets. At that time, when I was about to return home disappointed again, my boss introduced me to another kung fu superstar. He said: Bruce Lee's movies are the real kung fu movies, and Jackie Chan was a walk-on for Bruce Lee. The name Bruce Lee has come back to my sight. I borrowed all the Bruce Lee movies I could find, such as Big Brother, Jingwumen, Raptors Crossing the River, enter the dragon and so on. I am addicted to Bruce Lee's movies.

Bruce Lee's cemetery is located in the lakeview cemetery in Seattle, USA, which is regarded as a sacred place by martial arts lovers all over the world. Here is a semi-hillside surrounded by green trees all the year round, and the beautiful and quiet Lake Washington is at the foot of the mountain. Linda's Italian-made brown marble tombstone for BruceLee stands firmly in this quiet cemetery. Bruce Lee's tombstone is crimson with his photo, English name "Bruce Lee" and Chinese original name Li Zhenfan. The tombstone also indicates that he is the founder of Jeet Kune Do. Below his tombstone is a black stone carving similar to an open book. The left page is engraved with a black and white Tai Chi map of Taoism. On both sides of the picture, there are two words engraved in Chinese: "Take the impossibility as the law, and the infinity as the limit". Bruce Lee died young. In 1993, his son Brandon Lee died unexpectedly while filming The Crow in North Carolina. Brandon Lee's tombstone is on the right side of Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee, formerly known as Li Zhenfan, was born as Xifeng, and her ancestral home is Jun 'an Town, Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China. She is 173cm tall and weighs 64kg. Born in San Francisco, USA in 194, his father was from China and his mother was a mixed-race German and Chinese. His father named him Li Zhenfan, hoping that he would become famous in San Francisco one day. However, when he was young, Xiaolong was weak, and his father made him practice martial arts to strengthen his body. Unexpectedly, he became a forbidden kingdom. Bruce Lee is a martial arts fighter, a martial arts philosopher, an influential Chinese martial arts movie actor in the world, a pioneer of world martial arts reform, the originator of UFC, the father of MMA, and the founder of Jeet Kune Do martial arts philosophy. But Bruce Lee died suddenly on July 2th, 1973. As for the cause of his death, there are some sayings, such as the recurrence of injured patients, excessive exercise, mental depression, heart disease and encephalopathy (Bruce Lee was diagnosed as "brain problem" at the initial examination in Los Angeles, but Li refused to re-examine). At that time, the autopsy also found that there was marijuana in Bruce Lee's body, but the dosage was not much. This chronic killer drug is said to be one of the reasons for Bruce Lee's mental depression. Bruce Lee also used a Japanese-made muscle vibrator before his death, that is, he forced the muscles to vibrate with high-voltage electricity, which actually destroyed the balance and coordination between the nervous system and the physiological system.

why is Bruce Lee's tomb in Seattle? There are the ruins of Zhoulubi Restaurant where Bruce Lee once worked (the restaurant building is no longer in existence), Eddison Vocational and Technical School and Washington University where Bruce Lee once studied, three former sites of "Zhenfan National Art Museum" he opened, Bruce Lee's earliest disciples and friends in the United States, Garfield High School where Bruce Lee and his wife Linda first met, and the revolving restaurant of "Space Needle" tower for their first date. It is said that Bruce Lee's wife, Linda Emily, was his classmate at Washington University, and their emotional experience was quite bumpy.

During her college years, Bruce Lee originally dated a Japanese girl, and their beautiful relationship attracted much attention in the university. Linda knew them very early, and later Linda joined the "Zhenfan Kungfu Museum" founded by Bruce Lee to learn kung fu from Bruce Lee. It can be said that Bruce Lee and Linda had a mentoring relationship at first. Later, Linda gradually entered Bruce Lee's life. The two formally started to associate in 1963 and entered the wedding hall in 1964. Linda became Bruce Lee's lifelong lover. After marriage, Linda gave up her studies for the sake of her family, and she always followed Bruce Lee. After they got married, in 1965, their son Brandon Lee was born in Oakland, USA. In 1969, my daughter Li Xiangning was born.

Bruce Lee's contribution to China's film industry is indelible. Three and a half films in Hong Kong broke unprecedented records for three times, among which "The Raptors Crossing the River" broke the box office record in Asia, and Bruce Lee immediately became popular in Southeast Asia. Enter the dragon, a collaboration with Hollywood, grossed $23 million. Both Mao Zedong and bin Laden like watching Bruce Lee's movies. When shooting "Tangshan Big Brother" in Bangkok, Thailand, he killed Chaer Pu, the king of Muay Thai. Bruce Lee's English pronunciation of Kung Fu has been officially accepted by Americans, and Bruce Lee is well known in the United States.
