Edited quotes from Bruce Lee
Let your mind be as unbound as water, and the greatness of stance changes can be enlightened in water.
The softest thing in the world is water, but it can penetrate the hardest things, can exist in any space, nothing can surpass it, such as dripping through the stone, which is the "softness", so that the weak can overcome the strong, and the soft can overcome the rigid.
1. I will never say that I am the first in the world, but I will never admit that I am the second.
2, just know is not enough, must be used; just hope is not enough, must be done.
3, there are always people who come to me and ask: "Li Zhenfan - you really are that good?", I said: "Oh, I'm not that good. , I said, "Oh, if I tell you I'm great, maybe you'll say I'm bragging. But if I tell you I'm not great, you'll definitely know I'm lying."
4. As time passes, heroes and heroines will die just like ordinary people, and will slowly fade into people's memories. And we are still alive. We have to comprehend ourselves, discover ourselves, and express ourselves.
5. Empty your cup before you can fill it up again, and empty it for all.

Bruce Lee's daughter, Li Xiangning, clarifies the misinterpretation of Bruce Lee
Li Xiangning itemized her clarification of the facts, correcting some of the misinterpretations of the outside world of Bruce Lee over the years, but also involved in the controversial Bruce Lee's death, but the most touching is that But the most touching part is that she, as the daughter, said several times in the clarification of the truth that she clarified all these because she "couldn't go against Bruce Lee's philosophy". Some of the "misinterpretations" are as follows:
1. Bruce Lee never learned nunchucks from Enosandro.
"Yes, there are many references in the literature that my father learned nunchucks from Inosanto, but this is not true. My father taught himself nunchaku. I will give you more accurate information as soon as I can."
2. Bruce Lee never trained in Western boxing. People say Bruce Lee practiced boxing in gym class when he was in middle school.
"I don't think my father ever took boxing training in high school."
3. Bruce Lee never fought Kimura and never lost to Karate.
"If he did it was just the two of them practicing and sparring."
4. It was originally told that Bruce Lee died while filming Game of Death.
"My father had just started filming Game of Death when he stopped and went to film Dragon Warrior, and didn't continue filming Game of Death before he died."
5. Clarified that Bruce Lee never competed in the "Long Island International Tournament" and never won, he simply went to perform.
"My father didn't compete in these bidding tournaments (or any bidding tournaments) because philosophically he didn't believe that competing like that was in line with the idea of martial arts. He didn't believe in grappling because real boxing has no rules. Therefore, he did not perform at these tournaments and never competed. Therefore, I think it's best not to show him performing at any bidding tournaments, no matter what name is used, because it goes against his philosophy. If you're going to show him competing in a tournament, then it's fantastic."
Editing the Dragon's Struggle
As a child, Bruce Lee was very mischievous, uneducated, eccentric and liked to be alone. But making movies is very dedicated, coupled with natural talent, became a little-known child star, popular with the girls, and Bruce Lee also since childhood is a man of nature, make girls is also his hobby. 13 years old that year to learn martial arts under the door of Ip Man, looking for fights everywhere, won the Hong Kong Inter-school Boxing Championships in 1957, and in 58 years won the Hong Kong Cha Cha Dance Open Championships. In short, this before Bruce Lee is still a young, naughty, do not love to study, everywhere in trouble with the hairy boy.
Bruce Lee's struggle should be counted from the age of 19 when he traveled to the United States with $100 in his pocket to make a living.
The cruise took him through Kobe, Yokohama, Hawaii, and on to San Francisco, the land of his uncertain future. In Hong Kong, he was a famous child star and street fighter, but here in San Francisco, which is not really an American society, he is just one of the countless Chinese who have come to the United States to find gold, and he can only do some odd jobs and live in the shabby slum.
San Francisco is most proud of the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge. Bruce Lee stood on the bridge, leaning on the fence looking out over the blue sea. The other side of the ocean, is Hong Kong, he remembered his parents "hope that the son of the dragon". He was determined to change his mind, and strive for self-improvement, to make the results to confirm that he is a dragon!
Bruce Lee in San Francisco, do a little longer, a little more colorful occupation is to teach people to dance "ChaCha" (cha-cha-cha), his charges are low, few students, which is very disproportionate to his exquisite and elegant dance skills. In Hong Kong, he danced for fun; now he uses his dancing skills as a means of livelihood. Americans do not despise people engaged in any occupation, but Bruce Lee always feel a little helpless.
Three months later, he went to Seattle. He found a Chinese restaurant owned by Ms. Ruby Zhou, who received him warmly and took him in to work at the restaurant to earn money for living expenses and tuition.
Bruce Lee enrolled in the local Edison Senior Industrial School (the Chinese equivalent of a vocational high school), which was a result of his lack of English proficiency and his inability to go directly to college. Ms. Chow, an old friend of Bruce Lee's father, was politically active and a spokesperson for the local Chinese community. But the face of Bruce Lee's father was mercilessly torn off on the day he started working - Ms. Chow acted like a boss, pointing at Bruce Lee without any expression and reprimanding him if he was not satisfied. Bruce Lee was furious, he has been in the United States for three months, although he also knows that "friends to friends, business to business" this creed, but he felt too sudden, simply can not stand. But Bruce Lee still put the anger forced down, according to the will of the boss Zhou, the work done to her satisfaction. Bruce Lee's behavior is very different from when he was in Hong Kong, according to the temper of the past, he would drop the plate to quit, or take the plate to smash her a full face.
Schools in the United States, and the conservative Hong Kong schools are very different, completely open, discipline lax loose, in Bruce Lee's view, the United States students simply play. At this time, Bruce Lee, parents can no longer urge him, the teacher will not restrain him, classmates will not be due to academic merit and worship or despise a person. Bruce Lee can be completely unrestrained and unrestrained. However, at this time, Bruce Lee has become a completely different person. He changed the style of anorexia and truancy in Hong Kong, meticulous, hungry to learn. He knew that tuition fees were not easy to come by, and in the face of adversity he realized many of the philosophies of life. He knows that science has always been his weak point, he used to hate it to the bone, like flies. Now, although he still doesn't like it, he has put in twice as much hard work as he did in the arts. He is more addicted to English, and he knows that when he comes to the United States, language is the most important thing, no matter whether he goes to college or to work in the community.
Bruce Lee's English level improved very quickly, began to do the hall, the wage is higher than doing chores, and tips. But Bruce Lee was still very depressed. He grew up with the desire to be an alpha, to dominate others without being dominated by them. Bruce Lee is in the position of being driven by everyone; the diners, the owners, the chefs can drive him.
Bruce Lee left Chow Kee's (there was a love affair that contributed to this) and vowed not to work in any restaurant - it would be too much of a straitjacket on his personality. He wanted to pursue an independent career, even if the income was only enough to make ends meet, but still more comfortable than being bound by others.
Bruce Lee met Takeshi Kimura, a Japanese-American businessman, when he was 19 and Kimura was 36. They became close friends, and Kimura willingly became Bruce Lee's disciple and follower. Bruce Lee had always wanted to open a martial arts school, but was unsure and had no money. Now with Kimura's encouragement and financial help, the martial arts school was opened.
Bruce Lee's martial arts school is located in a basement in Seattle's Chinatown, the initial intention is to use this as a means of livelihood, and will be the promotion of Chinese martial arts and the creation of a school. But starting a martial arts school was difficult, and very few people asked about it. After discussing the matter with Kimura, Bruce Lee and Kimura took a few martial arts students to several universities in Seattle to give demonstrations. His clumsy and old-fashioned methods proved to be effective, and his performances became more and more popular with college students, with one or two students giving up their original hobbies and switching to Chinese kung fu each time, and the martial arts school began to take off.
In 1961, Bruce Lee successfully completed high school and entered Washington State University with honors, majoring in philosophy. At that time, medicine, law, and business were popular majors, while Lee chose the cold philosophy. Bruce Lee was an active and quiet double-sided person, he loved martial arts, lively and competitive, but also love to think quietly. Bruce Lee indulged in the sea of philosophy, he worshiped the East and West philosophers, there are Chinese Laozi, Zhuangzi, German Nietzsche, French Sartre. He found that the teachings of Sifu Ip Man, as well as the meaning embraced by the ancient stories of chivalry, could be found in the philosophy of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu. The philosophies of Nietzsche and Sartre, in turn, were strikingly similar to Bruce Lee's combative and uninhibited nature." Real people do not show" is the ancient Chinese warrior's code of conduct and the pursuit of the realm, and the young and aggressive Bruce Lee, always in the constant promotion of their own, publicize themselves to confirm their own "Superman".
