Be independent and stand out from the crowd.
In the 1970s, a young man's self-confidence could shock the world, although people didn't believe it. Later, he really did it-with four and a half movies. This young man is Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee is a beginning and an end. No matter how time passes, there will never be a second kung fu star who combines philosophers and fighters.
Bruce Lee knocked down karate masters one by one with sharp natural legs and superb nunchakus. Then tear off the words "sick man of East Asia" and say, "I tell you, China people are not sick men." Bruce Lee roared off, and the image of a national hero was shaped.
This is the classic picture of Jingwumen, and this is the eternal image of Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee (1940—— 1973)
The English name is Bruce Lee.
1940165438+1October 27th, Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, USA. His father named him Li, hoping that he would become famous in San Francisco one day. Bruce Lee was very thin when he was young. In order to make him strong, he began to practice Tai Ji Chuan at the age of seven. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, Bruce Lee began to learn Wing Chun from the famous teacher Ip Man. He practiced Hongquan, Baihe Boxing, Tan Leg, Shaolin Boxing, Fist and Fist, which laid a solid foundation for his later creation of Jeet Kune Do.
/kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, Bruce Lee left his parents and master and went to the United States alone, and was admitted to the Philosophy Department of Washington State University. After entering the university, he devoted all his energy to studying martial arts except studying. 1964, at the age of 24, Bruce Lee swept all the contestants in the national karate competition held in California, USA, and won the championship.
Bruce Lee's love for martial arts almost reached the point of obsession. After continuous improvement, his kung fu has become more and more skilled and reached a high level. In addition to being proficient in all kinds of boxing, he is also good at various instruments such as long sticks, short sticks and nunchakus, studying Qigong and hard work. Starting from actual combat, based on China Wushu, he absorbed the advantages and specialties of western boxing, karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai and other martial arts, summed up years of experience, and created a boxing method-Jeet Kune Do.
Bruce Lee, who returned to Hongkong, ushered in his acting career. "Tangshan Big Brother" starring 197 1 has set the highest box office record in Hong Kong since the release of 1840: more than 365,438+million Hong Kong dollars. His fighting style in the film became popular in Southeast Asia overnight, which set off a martial arts craze in Southeast Asia.
1972 starred in "Jingwumen" and made another 4.4 million yuan at the box office. "Bruce Lee-style" fighting action was recognized by people after the film was released. His fierce eyes staring at the enemy and strange cries during fighting became his "registered trademark" after the film. It was also in this movie that Xiaolong used nunchakus for the first time and was known as "Li". Bruce Lee knocked down karate masters one by one with sharp natural legs and superb nunchakus. Then tear off the words "sick man of East Asia" and say, "I tell you, China people are not sick men." Bruce Lee roared off, and the image of a national hero began to appear.
At the end of the same year, Bruce Lee wrote, directed and performed martial arts instruction. The movie "The Raptors Crossing the River", which fully demonstrated Bruce Lee's film talent, set a new box office record for "Jingwumen", and sold more than 5.3 million Hong Kong dollars in the first run. Bruce Lee's fighting in the film is free and unrestrained, which shows his Jeet Kune Do spirit of "doing the impossible" incisively and vividly.
If "The Raptors Crossing the River" established Bruce Lee's international superstar status, then 1973' s other masterpiece "enter the dragon" co-produced with Hollywood established Xiaolong's international superstar status. Enter the dragon made Bruce Lee one of the top stars in the world. Bruce Lee also publicized his philosophy to the whole world. "Not thinking, but an intuition." Bruce Lee is an intuition. Do it when you think about it, and never consider the consequences. At this point, he is unprecedented, and there is no one after him. Bruce Lee finally realized his long-cherished wish to let China actors play leading roles in important Hollywood movies, and let Americans know China Kung Fu and China people again.
1972 In late autumn, Bruce Lee began to conceive and shoot a new film "The Game of Death" shortly after finishing "The Raptors Crossing the River". Bruce Lee died suddenly in Hongkong on July 20th, 1973, when he was ambitious and ready to make great achievements.
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, grew up in Hong Kong, studied in the United States and finally returned to Hong Kong. He just wandered between two cultures. Perhaps it was this experience that made him finally break through the shackles of form and founded Jeet Kune Do.
Bruce Lee's life is short, but he has made great contributions to the development of modern martial arts and film performing arts. His kung fu films are popular overseas, and China's kung fu is famous all over the world. A new word "Kung Fu" has appeared in many foreign language dictionaries. Kung Fu. In the eyes of many foreigners, Kung Fu is China Wushu, and Bruce Lee has become the incarnation of Kung Fu.
He is like a meteor, born to shine. A person's life cannot be measured by length. Bruce Lee's life is complete.
