Bruce Lee

== Early Life ==
 
Bruce Lee was born at the Chinese Hospital, in San Francisco's Chinatown. According to the Chinese zodiac, Lee was born in both the hour and the year of the Dragon, which according to tradition is a strong and fortuitous omen. His father, Lee Hoi-chuen (李海泉), was Chinese, and his mother, Grace Ho (何愛瑜), a Catholic, was of German and Chinese ancestry. Grace Ho was the daughter of Ho Kom-tong and the niece of Sir Robert Ho-tung, both notable Hong Kong businessmen and philanthropists. Bruce was the fourth child of five children: Phoebe Lee (李秋源), Agnes Lee (李秋鳳), Peter Lee (李忠琛), and Robert Lee (李振輝). Lee and his parents returned to Hong Kong when he was three months old. Lee's father, Lee Hoi-chuen, was one of the leading Cantonese opera and film actors at the time, and was embarking on a year-long opera tour with his family on the eve of the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong. Lee Hoi-chuen had been touring the United States for many years and performing at numerous Chinese communities there. Although many of his peers decided to stay in the United States, Lee Hoi-chuen returned to Hong Kong after Bruce's birth. Within months, Hong Kong was invaded and the Lees lived for three years and eight months under Japanese occupation. After the war ended, Lee Hoi-chuen resumed his acting career and became a more popular actor during Hong Kong's rebuilding years. Lee's mother, Grace Ho, was from one of the wealthiest and most powerful clans in Hong Kong, the Ho-tungs. She was the niece of Sir Robert Ho-tung, the Eurasian patriarch of the clan. As such, the young Bruce Lee grew up in an affluent and privileged environment. Despite the advantage of his family's status, the neighborhood in which Lee grew up became overcrowded, dangerous, and full of gang rivalries due to an influx of refugees fleeing communist China for the then British Crown colony of Hong Kong. After Lee was involved in several street fights, his parents decided that he needed to be trained in the martial arts. 
Lee's first introduction to martial arts was through his father, from whom he learned the fundamentals of Wu-style t'ai chi ch'uan. The largest influence on Lee's martial arts development was his study of Wing Chun. Lee began training in Wing Chun at the age of 13 under the Wing Chun teacher Yip Man, after losing a fight with rival gang members. Yip's regular classes generally consisted of the forms practice, chi sao (sticking hands) drills, wooden dummy techniques, and free-sparring. There was no set pattern to the classes. Yip tried to keep his students from fighting in the street gangs of Hong Kong by encouraging them to fight in organized competitions. After a year into his Wing Chun training, most of Yip Man's other students refused to train with Lee after they learnt of his mixed ancestry, as the Chinese were generally against teaching their martial arts techniques to non-Asians. Lee's sparring partner, Hawkins Cheung states, "Probably fewer than six people in the whole Wing Chun clan were personally taught, or even partly taught, by Yip Man". However, Lee showed a keen interest in Wing Chun, and continued to train privately with Yip Man and Wong Shun Leung.
== Troubled Youth ==
After attending Tak Sun School (德信學校) (several blocks from his home at 218 Nathan Road, Kowloon), Lee entered the primary school division of La Salle College at the age of 12. Due to poor academic performance and poor conduct as well, he was transferred to St. Francis Xavier's College (high school) where he would be mentored by Brother Edward, a teacher and coach of the school boxing team. Later, Lee got into yet another street fight and the police were called. From all the way to his late teens, Lee's street fights became more frequent and included beating up the son of a feared triad family. Lee became a member of the "Tigers of Junction Street," and was involved in numerous gang-related street fights. "In one of his last encounters, while removing his jacket the fellow he was squaring off against sucker punched him and blackened his eye. Bruce flew into a rage and went after him, knocking him out, breaking his opponent's arm. The police were called as a result". The incident took place on a Hong Kong rooftop at 10 pm. Eventually, Lee's father decided for him to leave Hong Kong to pursue a safer and healthier avenue in the United States. His parents confirmed the police's fear that this time Lee's opponent had an organized crime background, and there was the possibility that a contract was out for his life. The police detective came and he says "Excuse me Mr. Lee, your son is really fighting bad in school. If he gets into just one more fight I might have to put him in jail."—Robert Lee. Lee's parents decided to send him to the United States to stay with his older sister, Agnes Lee (李秋鳳), who was already living with family friends in San Francisco. Before he went Lee defeated three-time Hong Kong Inter-School amateur boxing champion Gary Elms by way of knockout in the third round in the Hong Kong Inter-School amateur Boxing Championships held between 12 Hong Kong schools. Lee used Wing Chun traps and high/low-level straight punches. At the age of 18, Lee returned to the United States with $100 in his pocket and the titles of High School Boxing Champion and Crown colony Cha Cha Champion of Hong Kong.
== Coming to America ==
After living in San Francisco for several months, he moved to Seattle, to continue his high school education, where he also worked for Ruby Chow as a live-in waiter at her restaurant. Chow's husband was a co-worker and friend of Lee's father. Lee's elder brother Peter Lee (李忠琛) would also join him in Seattle for a short stay before moving on to Minnesota to attend college. In December, Lee completed his high school education and received his diploma from Edison Technical School (now Seattle Central Community College, located on Capitol Hill, Seattle). In March, Lee enrolled at the University of Washington, majoring in drama. Lee also studied philosophy, psychology, and various other subjects. Lee was challenged by a man who had been holding a grudge against Lee while the two were practicing at a YMCA in Seattle. The man was a karate man who also had a blackbelt in judo. After months of provocation by the man, Lee agreed to fight the man for three two-minute rounds, with the winner being the one who knocked the opponent down or out in two out of three rounds. The match took place at YMCA's handball court. Lee wore street clothes and used a Wing Chun stance while his opponent wore a gi and used a karate stance. According to an eye witness, Lee used his right forearm to deflect an initial kick from the man and simultaneously landed a left punch to the face. Lee deflected more punches using the forearm, controlling the center line and landed more punches to the man's face until he was against the wall. The man attempted to grab Lee's arms, which Lee responded by a double fist punch to the face and chest, followed by a kick to the nose, which produced a nosebleed and a knockout. Another witness said the fight lasted 10 seconds. A man named Ed Hart stated "the fight lasted exactly 11 seconds – I know because I was the time keeper – and Bruce had hit the guy something like 15 times and kicked him once. I thought he'd killed him".
== Forbidden Romance ==
It was at the University of Washington that he met his future wife Linda Emery, a fellow student studying to become a teacher, whom he married in August a year later. 
A year after that Lee and Linda Emery had a son named Brandon Lee and four years after that they gave birth to their daughter Shannon Lee. After college the Lees moved to San Francisco where Bruce opened up a dojo.
== The Dragon vs. The Tiger ==
Bruce soon began getting threats on his dojo, his students and his lives from the different martial arts masters in San Francisco’s Chinatown. These threats stemmed from the fact that Bruce was teaching non-Asians and the radical martial arts masters did not want Caucasians or any other race for that matter learning the Chinese secrets. Bruce grew tired of these threats and Lee boasted during a demonstration at a Chinatown theater that he could beat any martial artist in San Francisco and had issued an open challenge to fight anyone who thought he could prove him wrong. Lee had someone hand-deliver a note to Wong Jack Man inviting him to fight. The note was sent after Wong had requested a public bout with Lee after Lee’s open challenge. The Chinese Martial Arts masters sided with Wong in this matter an added the stipulation to Lee that if he won they will leave him alone and let him teach whoever he wanted to and if he lost he was to shut down the Dojo completely. Lee agreed and the two fought in the basement of Lees Dojo. There were only a few in attendance such as Bruce’s wife Linda, Bruce’s friend James Lee, Wong’s friend William Chen, and the martial arts masters. The fight started with Bruce telling Wong that his friend William just got him killed as William was instrumental in getting the two to fight. They bowed to each other and Wong extended his hand as a show of respect. Bruce pretended like he was going to shake his hand and instead turned his hand into a four pronged spear which barely missed Wong and scratched him above the eye. Bruce using his Wing Chun style attacked Wong relentlessly with straight punches, kicks to the groin, and more frequently those four pronged spear attacks which Bruce tried to use with the tips of his fingers to try to take out one of Wong’s eyes or puncture his throat trying to fatally wound him. Wong deflected most if not all of Bruce’s attacks leaving Bruce feeling fatigued from expending all of that energy trying to finish Wong while Wong using a defensive approach still had a lot of energy. While Wong was on the defensive he slipped almost falling on the ground but he caught his balance and with Bruce charging at him started to run backwards, but Bruce pounced on him hitting him four times combined in the face, head, and back before Wong pushed him off. The fight then resumed like it did in the beginning with Wong on the defensive although now making Bruce pay every once in a while giving him stinging blows to the body and face when Bruce got sloppy. Bruce grew tired of this and rushed to engage him and when they clinched Wong had Bruce in a head lock with Bruce simultaneously hitting Wong in the back of the head and Wong hitting the top of Bruce’s. Wong released Bruce and they engage two more times with the same thing happening each time. After the last engagement the fight ended in a stalemate with Bruce unusually winded and extremely fatigued and Wong looking disinterested as the fight continued.
== Birth of Jeet Kune Do ==
After the fight Lee concluded that the fight had lasted too long and that he had failed to live up to his potential using his Wing Chun techniques such as straight punching which lee complained made his hands swell from punching Wong in the head repeatedly and become fatigued in his mind too quickly. He took the view that traditional martial arts techniques were too rigid and formalistic to be practical in scenarios of chaotic street fighting. 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, running for endurance, stretching for flexibility, and many others which he constantly adapted, including fencing and basic boxing techniques. Lee emphasized what he called "the style of no style". This consisted of getting rid of the formalized approach which Lee claimed was indicative of traditional styles. Lee felt the system he now called Jun Fan Gung Fu was even too restrictive, and eventually evolved into a philosophy and martial art he would come to call Jeet Kune Do or the Way of the Intercepting Fist. At the invitation of Ed Parker, Lee appeared at the Long Beach International Karate Championships and performed repetitions of two-finger push-ups (using the thumb and the index finger of one hand) with feet at approximately a shoulder-width apart. In the same Long Beach event he also performed the "One inch punch", the description of which is as follows: Lee stood upright, his right foot forward with knees bent slightly, in front of a standing, stationary partner. Lee's right arm was partly extended and his right fist approximately an inch away from the partner's chest. Without retracting his right arm, Lee then forcibly delivered the punch to his partner while largely maintaining his posture, sending the partner backwards and falling into a chair said to be placed behind the partner to prevent injury, though his partner's momentum soon caused him to fall to the floor. His volunteer was Bob Baker of Stockton, California. "I told Bruce not to do this type of demonstration again", Baker recalled. "When he punched me that last time, I had to stay home from work because the pain in my chest was unbearable". It was at the championships where Lee first met Taekwondo master Jhoon Goo Rhee. The two developed a friendship from which they benefited as martial artists. Rhee taught Lee the side kick in detail, and Lee taught Rhee the "non-telegraphic" punch. The most important thing Bruce did however was display his newly formed Jeet Kune Do. Bruce was challenged by a Karate master named Johnny Sun, this time in a 60-second demonstration of his new fighting style. Johnny Sun appears to have the upper hand in the first half of the match but then Bruce recovers and ends up kicking Sun over the top rope. The fight lasted less than a minute.
== 1st attempt at Hollywood Stardom ==
This led to the invitation by a man named William Dozier for an audition for a part in the pilot for "Number One Son". The show never aired, but Lee was invited for the role of Kato alongside Van Williams in the TV series The Green Hornet. The show lasted just one season. Lee also played Kato in three crossover episodes of Batman. This was followed by guest appearances in three television series: Ironside, Here Come the Brides, and Blondie. Lee pitched a television series of his own tentatively titled The Warrior, discussions which were also confirmed by Warner Bros. In a television interview on The Pierre Berton Show, Lee stated that both Paramount and Warner Brothers wanted him "to be in a modernized type of a thing, and that they think the Western idea is out, whereas I want to do the Western". However, Lee's concept was retooled and renamed Kung Fu, but Warner Bros. gave Lee no credit. Warner Brothers states that they had for some time been developing an identical concept, created by two writers and producers, Ed Spielman and Howard Friedlander. According to these sources, the reason Lee was not cast was in part because of his ethnicity, but more so because he had a thick accent. The role of the Shaolin monk in the Wild West, was eventually awarded to then-non-martial-artist David Carradine. In The Pierre Berton Show interview, Lee stated he understood Warner Brothers' attitudes towards casting in the series: "They think that business wise it is a risk. I don't blame them. If the situation were reversed, and an American star were to come to Hong Kong, and I was the man with the money, I would have my own concerns as to whether the acceptance would be there". A producer Fred Weintraub had advised Lee to return to Hong Kong and make a feature film which he could showcase to executives in Hollywood.
== Unexpected Support ==
Not happy with his supporting roles in the United States, Lee returned to Hong Kong with his family. Unaware that The Green Hornet had been played to success in Hong Kong and was unofficially referred to as "The Kato Show", he was surprised to be recognized on the street as the star of the show. After negotiating with both Shaw Brothers Studio and Golden Harvest, Lee signed a film contract to star in two films produced by Golden Harvest.
== Street Fighters ==
A man named Don Wilson's cousin goes missing in Hong Kong while the Street Fighters are investigating a local drug operation. Action star Bruce Lee says he'll show General Douglas MacArthur the secrets of the city if Douglas MacArthur teaches him how to use Chi energy attacks. Eventually, Don Wilson and Chuck Norris get captured by the drug runners and it's up to Douglas MacArthur and Bruce Lee to save them. Don Wilson and Chuck Norris are asked to help Bruce Lee with his latest movie project. Investors in the film however pull funding from out of the movie, which leaves Bruce Lee with no way to raise awareness about the evil crime boss, Lo Fat. Chuck Norris is forced to ask his father to re-invest in the film, so it can continue. Chuck Norris gets creative license for the script, and writes himself in as the star instead of Bruce Lee. Both men have a climatic showdown which results in the entire movie studio burning down. Bruce Lee then takes on Lo Fat one-on-one and defeats him effectively ending the triads from messing with him.
== 2nd Attempt at Hollywood Stardom ==
Without funding and with the Shaw brothers and Golden Harvest pulling out funding Bruce and his family move back to the U.S. where Bruce opens up a Jeet Kune Do dojo in L.A. For three years Bruce trained his students of all races all the while training and developing his chi. When he was 28 he got a minor role in the American movie where he played a henchman hired to intimidate private detective Philip Marlowe, (played by James Garner), by smashing up his office with leaping kicks and flashing punches, only to later accidentally jump off a tall building while trying to kick Marlowe off.
== Breakthrough ==
After Marlowe Bruce got an invitation from the Shaw Brothers to come to Hong Kong and renegotiate a contract. Bruce, the Shaw Brothers, and Golden Harvest renegotiate a 2-movie deal worth 6 million dollars. 2 years later Lee played his first leading role in The Big Boss which proved to be an enormous box office success across Asia and catapulted him to stardom. 
He soon followed up with Fist of Fury which broke the box office records set previously by The Big Boss. Having finished his initial two-year contract, Lee negotiated a new deal with Golden Harvest. Lee later formed his own company, Concord Productions Inc. 
For his third film, Way of the Dragon, he was given complete control of the film's production as the writer, director, star, and choreographer of the fight scenes. At a demonstration in Long Beach, California, Lee was able to catch up with now Karate champion Chuck Norris and offered him a role in his movie as the main villain with the stipulation that he would not burn down his production company this time. In Way of the Dragon Lee introduced Norris to movie-goers as his opponent in the final death fight at the Coliseum in Rome, today considered one of Lee's most legendary fight scenes and one of the most memorable fight scenes in martial arts film history. The role of Norris was originally offered to Norris’ good friend Don Wilson. Lee's eventual celebrity put him in the path of a number of men who sought to make a name for themselves by causing a confrontation with Lee. A challenger had invaded Lee's private home in Hong Kong by trespassing into the backyard to incite Lee in combat. Lee finished the challenger violently with a kick, infuriated over the home invasion. Describing the incident, his friend Herb Jackson states, One time one fellow got over that wall, got into his yard and challenged him and he says 'how good are you?' And Bruce was poppin mad. He [Bruce] says 'he gets the idea, this guy, to come and invade my home, my own private home, invade it and challenge me.' He said he got so mad that he gave the hardest kick he ever gave anyone in his life.
== Enter The Dragon ==
Lee began work on his fourth Golden Harvest Film, Game of Death. He began filming some scenes including his fight sequence with 7'2" American Basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a former student. Production was stopped when Warner Brothers offered Lee the opportunity to star in Enter the Dragon, the first film to be produced jointly by Golden Harvest and Warner Bros. Filming commenced in Hong Kong. One month into the filming, another production company, Starseas Motion Pictures, promoted Bruce Lee as a leading actor in Fist of Unicorn, although he had merely agreed to choreograph the fight sequences in the film as a favor to his long-time friend Unicorn Chan. Lee planned to sue the production company, but retained his friendship with Chan. Bob Wall, USPK karate champion and Lee's co-star in Enter the Dragon, recalled one encounter that transpired after a film extra kept taunting Lee. The extra yelled that Lee was "a movie star, not a martial artist," that he "wasn't much of a fighter". Lee answered his taunts by asking him to jump down from the wall he was sitting on. Wall described Lee's opponent as "a gang-banger type of guy from Hong Kong," a "damned good martial artist," and observed that he was fast, strong, and bigger than Bruce. “This kid was good. He was strong and fast, and he was really trying to punch Bruce's brains in. But Bruce just methodically took him apart. Bruce kept moving so well, this kid couldn't touch him...then all of a sudden, Bruce got him and rammed his ass with the wall and swept him up, proceeding to drop him and plant his knee into his opponent's chest, locked his arm out straight, and nailed him in the face repeatedly". – Bob Wall. 
Also during filming the demon known only as Garuda teleports Bruce to his birth place in an entirely different realm known to the few earthlings to visit the realm and live as the Netherrealm. Bruce then found himself in the Netherrealm Arena surrounded by 10 demons, Bruce gets into his Jeet Kune Do stance and readies himself for the oncoming onslaught but before a move could be made Garuda comes charging at Bruce knocking him out of the Arena and on to the grounds of Garuda’s temple. As the heavy rain falls on them Garuda takes Bruce’s head and rams it into a tombstone Garuda had made just for Bruce. As Bruce collapses on the ground Garuda begins to choke the bloody Bruce and prepares to end him with a final punch. 
However a shadow ghost of Bruce’s son Brandon appears and distracts Garuda form killing Bruce. Bruce then tells Brandon to run but he doesn’t listen, Garuda then begins to walk toward Brandon. Bruce tries to tackle him from behind but Garuda simply shrugs him off. Bruce tries again but the result is the same as he collapses to the ground. Bruce then runs to the temple steps and gives Garuda a jumping sidekick to the throat. Garuda clutches at his throat without a sound, Bruce tells Brandon to run once more and he finally complies; however Garuda then releases his hidden spikes within his skeletal mask and releases the thorns from every part of his body. The sun then begins to rise and a light is shone upon a statue at the temple steps containing a pair of red nunckucks. His display of mastership over the weapon startled Garuda as Bruce had not used the power of the Satsui no Hadou which is needed to channel to chi of the cursed nunchucks. Bruce uses the Nunchuks to out maneuver and out class the deadly Garuda defending his attacks and attacking the throat savagely. As Garuda realizes that he is being defeated desperately rushes at Bruce, who jumps over Garuda wrapping the chain that connects the nunchuks around Garuda’s throat. Bruce then chokes the demon with all his might, Garuda then falls dead and all the souls that he had killed who were possessors of the Satsui no Hadou were released. After this Bruce is returned back to Earthrealm at his studio set.
== Death ==
Only a few months after the completion of Enter the Dragon, and six days before its release, Lee died. Lee collapsed in Golden Harvest studios in Hong Kong while doing dubbing work for the movie Enter the Dragon. Suffering from seizures and headaches, he was immediately rushed to Hong Kong Baptist Hospital where doctors diagnosed cerebral edema. They were able to reduce the swelling through the administration of mannitol. These same symptoms that occurred in his first collapse were later repeated on the day of his death. Lee was in Hong Kong, to have dinner with James Bond star George Lazenby, with whom he intended to make a film. According to Lee's wife Linda, Lee met producer Raymond Chow at 2 pm at home to discuss the making of the film Game of Death. They worked until 4 pm and then drove together to the home of Lee's colleague Betty Ting Pei, a Taiwanese actress. The three went over the script at Ting's home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting. Later Lee complained of a headache, and Ting gave him an analgesic (painkiller), Equagesic, which contained both aspirin and the muscle relaxant meprobamate. Around 7:30 pm, he went to lie down for a nap. When Lee did not turn up for dinner, Chow came to the apartment but could not wake Lee up. A doctor was summoned, who spent ten minutes attempting to revive him before sending him by ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Lee was dead by the time he reached the hospital. There was no visible external injury; however, according to autopsy reports, his brain had swollen considerably, from 1,400 to 1,575 grams (a 13% increase). Lee was 32 years old. The only substance found during the autopsy was Equagesic. Chow stated in an interview that Lee died from an allergic reaction to the muscle relaxant (meprobamate) in Equagesic, which he described as a common ingredient in painkillers. When the doctors announced Lee's death officially, it was ruled a "death by misadventure". Don Langford, Lee's personal physician in Hong Kong, had treated Lee during his first collapse. Controversy erupted when he stated, "Equagesic was not at all involved in Bruce's first collapse". Donald Teare, a forensic scientist recommended by Scotland Yard who had overseen over 1,000 autopsies, was assigned to the Lee case. His conclusion was "death by misadventure" caused by an acute cerebral edema due to a reaction to compounds present in the combination medication Equagesic. Lee's iconic status and untimely demise fed many theories about his death, including murder involving the triads and a supposed curse on him and his family. Black Belt magazine carried the speculation that the death of Bruce Lee may have been caused by "a delayed reaction to a Dim Mak strike he received several weeks prior to his collapse". Lee's wife Linda returned to her hometown of Seattle, and had him buried at lot 276 of Lakeview Cemetery. Pallbearers at his funeral included Taky Kimura, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Allen Chuck Norris Snider, George Lazenby, Dan Inosanto, Peter Chin, and Lee's brother Robert.
== Legacy ==
Enter the Dragon would go on to become one of the year's highest grossing films and cement Lee as a martial arts legend. It was made for US$850,000. To date, Enter the Dragon has grossed over $200 million worldwide. The film sparked a brief fad in martial arts, epitomized in songs such as "Kung Fu Fighting" and TV shows like Kung Fu. Bruce Lee personally certified only three instructors: Taky Kimura, James Yimm Lee, and Dan Inosanto. Inosanto holds the 3rd rank (Instructor) directly from Bruce Lee in Jeet Kune Do, Jun Fan Gung Fu, and Bruce Lee's Tao of Chinese Gung Fu. Taky Kimura holds a 5th rank in Jun Fan Gung Fu. James Yimm Lee held a 3rd rank in Jun Fan Gung Fu. Ted Wong holds 2nd rank in Jeet Kune Do certified directly by Bruce Lee and was later promoted to Instructor under Dan Inosanto; feeling that Bruce would have wanted to promote him. Other Jeet Kune Do instructors since Lee's death have been certified directly by Dan Inosanto, some with remaining Bruce Lee signed certificates. James Yimm Lee, a close friend of Lee, certified a few students including Gary Dill who studied Jeet Kune Do under James and received permission via a personal letter from him to pass on his learning of Jun Fan Gung Fu to others. Taky Kimura, to date, has certified only one person in Jun Fan Gung Fu: his son Andy Kimura. Dan Inosanto continued to teach and certify select students in Jeet Kune Do, making it possible for thousands of martial arts practitioners to trace their training lineage back to Bruce Lee. Prior to his death, Lee told his then only two living instructors Kimura and Inosanto (James Yimm Lee had died a year before Bruce) to dismantle his schools. Both Taky Kimura and Dan Inosanto were allowed to teach small classes thereafter, under the guideline "keep the numbers low, but the quality high". In Japan, Junichi Okada is a certified Japanese instructor in Jeet Kune Do. After Lee’s death it was announced that Bruce's Hong Kong home (41 Cumberland Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong) will be preserved and transformed into a tourist site by philanthropist Yu Pang-lin. 
Bruce Lee was named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. Bruce Lee’s lasting legacy is he is widely considered by commentators, critics, media and other martial artists to be one of the most influential martial artists of all time, and a pop culture icon of the 20th century.
He is often credited with helping to change the way Asians were presented in American films. Bruce Lee was immortalized with a statue in Hong Kong making sure he’ll be remembered for generations to come. Bruce lee is survived by his daughter Shannon and her daughter Wren.
