Bruce Lee and the Chinese Kongfu

Published by Turner at 16:30 under Variety life

Now serial “the Legend of Bruce Lee” is on showed on the CCTV. Bruce Lee must be the idol of lots of people, especially for the yong people. Thanks to Bruce Lee, the Chinese Kongfu is not myestious as the old China. That is the most important thing he did in my opinion.

I watch the serial everyday evening. The main acor is very like Bruce Lee. Personally, i think the serial are good, but just so so. There are not so much suspence in the serial. I don’t know whether there is English version or not.

The basic information for Bruce Lee is as blow (from wiki):

Bruce Lee (traditional Chinese: 李小龍; simplified Chinese: 李小龙; pinyin: Lǐ Xiǎolóng; Cantonese Yale: Léih Síulùhng; November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) was an American-born martial artist, philosopher, instructor, martial arts actor and the founder of the Jeet Kune Do combat form. He was widely regarded as the most influential martial artist of the twentieth century and a cultural icon.^[1] He was also the father of actor Brandon Lee and of actress Shannon Lee.

Lee was born in San Francisco, California, and raised in Hong Kong. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, and sparked the first major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and the rest of the world as well. Lee became an iconic figure particularly to the Chinese, as he portrayed Chinese national pride and Chinese nationalism in his movies.^[2] He primarily practiced Chinese martial arts (Kung Fu).
