As a person who loves movies, I have been familiar with the name Bruce Lee for a long time, but it is a shame that I have never been very clear about the ins and outs of this person. I always feel that a star who has been dead for 30 years may only exist in the memory of the previous generation, but in our generation, the brightness is extremely limited. I have been to some places over the years and found that Bruce Lee's status and influence are far beyond my imagination. Almost every movie place has his name, and anyone who knows China's movies will know him. Later, I finally bought some of his famous books and biographies, and I was dumbfounded at first sight. It turns out that he is not only handsome but also moves like thunder and lightning, far from being comparable to many kung fu stars today. It turns out that he is not only a kung fu movie star, but also a master of martial arts. He devoted his life to spreading and popularizing China martial arts. It turns out that he not only can act, but also has his own profound insights and practical input into movies. His later works can really be called "Bruce Lee's works"; It turns out that he knows not only movies and kung fu, but also philosophy, poetry and art. ...
Bruce Lee was born in Shunde, Guangdong, 1940,165438+1October 27th, San Francisco, USA. He belongs to the dragon. His nickname is Xifeng and his English name is Bruce.
Li, formerly known as Li in Chinese (it is said that it means "revitalizing San Francisco"), was named Yuanxin, ranking second among the five brothers and sisters.
It is said that when Bruce Lee was a baby, the Hollywood film Golden Gate Girl needed a China baby to appear and brought it to Bruce Lee. If this is true, it should be regarded as the first film of a movie superstar.
His father's name is Li Haiquan. ..... You may ask: Why did Li Haiquan dress his son like this?
Because this is the classic appearance of Li Haiquan himself. Li Haiquan is a well-known comedian in Guangdong, and one of the four ugliness in Cantonese opera. He often travels around the world with his family, which is why Bruce Lee was born in the United States.
Bruce Lee's mother, He Jintang, is half German and very handsome.
When Bruce Lee was three months old, the whole family returned to Hong Kong to live. Bruce Lee lived in Hongkong until he was eighteen. This is a family photo of Bruce Lee when he was five years old.
Young Bruce Lee is already very handsome, and his father's relationship with the entertainment circle has made him a well-known child star. His first Hong Kong film was Floating Clouds with Wealth. At that time, he was six years old and studied in the primary school of La Salle College.
Bruce Lee usually takes part in filming during school holidays, and sometimes after school. In order not to delay his studies, the director arranged his play in the evening as much as possible. Bruce Lee showed a strong professionalism in the film industry. According to family memories, if he wanted to make a movie, Bruce Lee would go to bed after dinner. When it was time to go to the studio, his mother woke up as soon as she called, dressed her hands and feet neatly, and happily followed her father out. She is never late for filming. However, as a student, he is a stubborn teenager. He doesn't attend class and doesn't study after class. After dropping out of school many times, he barely finished junior high school.
At that time, Bruce Lee always played some problem children or problem of juvenile in movies. His behavior was casual and cynical, and his expressions and actions had already had a unique performance style in Bruce Lee's later period.
/kloc-Before going to the United States at the age of 0/8, Bruce Lee starred in 22 Cantonese movies in Hong Kong. His previous stage names were Li Long and Xiao Li Haiquan. Critics called him an acting genius.
Lonely Sea is one of Bruce Lee's early film masterpieces.
Bruce Lee didn't act in kung fu films in his early days. On the contrary, he acted in many literary films. This is the second young master Zhou Chong in Thunderstorm.
At the age of eighteen, Bruce Lee entered St. Fangji College to attend high school.
Bruce Lee in this period was a standard fashion youth, and one of his hobbies was making girlfriends.
Another big hobby is motorcycles.
Another hobby is dancing. Bruce Lee is the champion of 1958 Hong Kong Chacha Dance Open.
Of course, his greatest hobby is martial arts. Speaking of Bruce Lee's martial arts practice, it is not because he is a natural "peerless martial arts wizard", but precisely because he was weak from childhood and needed exercise and rest. As a result, Bruce Lee, whose height is only1.73m, his myopia is as high as1000th, and his legs are one inch apart, embarked on the road of martial arts.
His first teacher was his father Li Haiquan, who is said to be a master of Tai Ji Chuan. He has been teaching Bruce Lee to practice Tai Ji Chuan since he was seven years old.
At the age of thirteen, Bruce Lee worshipped the first real master: Ye Wen, the master of Wing Chun Boxing. Ip Man is insightful about the connotation of Wing Chun: "Wing Chun is soft and quick, but not energetic ..." Under the guidance of IP Man, Bruce Lee systematically studied Wing Chun, set up a stake at home and practiced against it every day. In addition, he also practiced Hongquan, Baihe Boxing, Tan Leg, Shaolin Boxing and other boxing techniques, and also learned western boxing techniques. When attending the western boxing training class, he bought a documentary about the boxing match of world champion Louis with his pocket money, from which he learned the footwork, posture, boxing and training methods of the champion.
Shao Hansheng is another master of Bruce Lee. He said in an interview: "I made a deal with Bruce Lee. I taught him martial arts and he taught me to dance. It takes three to four weeks for the average person to learn my basic footwork, but it only took Bruce Lee three nights to learn it thoroughly. But then he didn't teach me to dance (laughs) ...
By that time, Bruce Lee had grown into a strong young man. Won the champion of Hong Kong Inter-school Boxing Competition. Outside the competition, he often fights with his classmates and even senior classmates. According to the old man James J.S.Wong, as a classmate of Bruce Lee, he was also punched by Bruce Lee. Years later, he laughed at himself on TV: "Now I know that losing is inevitable. Who can beat Bruce Lee? "
"According to the test, adult Bruce Lee's boxing power is more than twice his own weight, which few people in the world can match. Even when you are young, punching must be unstoppable.
In fact, because Bruce Lee has too many fighting records, he will be prosecuted by the police at any time, which is another reason why his family wants him to leave Hong Kong as soon as possible.
1959 in may, Bruce Lee came to the United States to settle down and made a living by teaching people to dance.
In September, he moved to Seattle, enrolled in Edison Technical School, attended classes during the day and worked as a waiter in Chinatown restaurant at night in exchange for room and board, and began his work-study program.
At this moment, Bruce Lee suddenly became a diligent and enterprising student. Although he continued to practice kung fu in his spare time, he stopped fighting. 196 1 year, graduated from Bruce Lee Middle School, and was admitted to Washington State University with honors in May, majoring in philosophy.
Bruce Lee loves philosophy and is good at thinking. Philosophy permeates his career and life and is reflected in many of his speeches:
-Empty your glass, then fill it.
Take impossibility as the law and infinity as the limit.
If knowledge follows the traditional pattern, you can only live in the shadow of tradition, knowing only the old way, but not yourself.
It is also a sign of courage to regard something as worthless; When something is regarded as absolute success or taken for granted, it is also a sign of courage; But if you can't do anything about it, then you are shrinking. The same is true for the enemy. As long as you motivate yourself with confidence, even if you fail, you will still win spiritually.
Someone told me that genius can create its own opportunities. In fact, a person's deep expectation can not only create his own opportunities, but even create his own genius.
-knowing is not enough, you must use it; It is not enough to have hope, but to do it.
I will never say that I am number one in the world, but I will never admit that I am number two.
Bruce Lee also wrote many poems. The following song is called Who am I, which he gave to his friend Jhoon Rhee (Korean-American martial artist, "the father of American Taekwondo"). Unfortunately, I can't find the original English, so I can't get a glimpse of it. After all, poems translated from foreign languages are quite awkward.
