Bruce Lee's death came as a bolt from the blue, and no one dared to believe it-his body was made of steel and his martial arts were invincible, and he was alive and kicking yesterday. How could he die at once? But the fact tells people that the giant fell and the dragon really died.
Bruce Lee quietly lying in the fulcrum, body and mind stopped working, in a state of rest. A grand funeral was held in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is crowded with people, and everyone looks sad. That kind of scene will only appear when the president dies. Soon, Bruce Lee's body was transported back to Seattle, and a second funeral was held, which was much quieter. Bruce Lee's body was thrown into the soil, and the tombstone read: "Bruce Lee Li Fan Zhen 1 1 July 27th1940-July 20th, founder of Jeet Kune Do".
There is a saying that "the grave is safe". Is Bruce Lee really at peace? No. His death was so sudden and unbelievable that the media set off a storm to discuss Bruce Lee's death. Even today, people still talk about Bruce Lee's death. Bruce Lee's death has always been a mystery to most people.
Time will tell. Bruce Lee's death is much clearer today, but many things are still unknown. Therefore, this paper gives a more comprehensive and fair explanation of Bruce Lee's death. I hope you don't have to dwell on this in the future and have time to study his thoughts on martial arts and philosophy. That's all that matters.
First, the general situation of Bruce Lee's death.
At about 2 pm on July 20th, Zou Wenhuai came to Bruce Lee's house, and they chatted for a while about the script outline of The Game of Death. Then we left together, about 4 o'clock, and came to Ding Pei's home. They made an appointment with Ding Pei, and Ding Pei played a role in the game of death. At the same time, they also agreed to go to a restaurant in the evening and meet an Australian actor, George Racimbi, to discuss his role in the film.
The three talked about the "death game" for more than two hours. Around 7 o'clock, Bruce Lee said that he was "uncomfortable" and "had a headache". Ding Pei let Bruce Lee take a painkiller that she often takes, and let Bruce Lee go to her bedroom to rest. Bruce Lee told Zou Wenhuai that he was going to meet Zou Wenhuai at the Hyatt Hotel, so he slept in the bed in Ding Pei's bedroom.
At about half past eight, Ding Pei went into the bedroom to see Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee has fallen asleep. She couldn't bear to wake him up, so she called Zou Wenhuai and said, "Bruce Lee is fast asleep." At 9 o'clock, Bruce Lee was still awake. She called Zou Wenhuai again.
At 9: 45, Zou Wenhuai came to Ding Pei's house. Bruce Lee is still awake. Zou Wenhuai tried to awaken Bruce Lee, but Bruce Lee didn't respond. Zou Wenhuai gave him a push and slapped him in the face, but it was still "in the wrong way". Zou Wenhuai couldn't wake Bruce Lee, so Ding Pei called her personal doctor. Later, Bruce Lee was taken to Elizabeth Hospital, but the rescue along the way was invalid. 1 1: 30, a doctor officially signed Bruce Lee's death certificate.
Second, the cause of death analysis
Bruce Lee's death in his girlfriend Ding Pei's home was initially concealed, but it was not papery, but was exposed by the media. Therefore, at the beginning, the public unanimously pointed the finger at Ding Pei. At that time, Ding Pei was under great pressure and kept silent, which made the media scream even more. However, as far as many facts are concerned, Ding Pei is very unfair.
1. Brain edema
In fact, Bruce Lee has had brain problems for a long time. After filming enter the dragon, Bruce Lee went to the United States and had a physical examination, but he insisted on refusing to have a brain examination because he wanted to keep his healthy and strong image. The painkiller Ding Pei gave him may have caused cerebral cortex allergy, but there is no clear conclusion.
2. the physical condition is extremely declining.
To outsiders, Bruce Lee is made of steel. In fact, by 1973, his physical condition was already very bad. The worst time was when I fainted in the recording studio. At that time, a group of people were dubbing enter the dragon in Mandarin. The weather was unbearable, but in order to avoid recording noise, the air cooler was turned off, so the room was even more stuffy. Bruce Lee felt very uncomfortable and left the studio, but he didn't come back for a long time. Later, he was found unconscious in the bathroom lounge! And then sent to the hospital, the situation is very serious, it can be said that I almost met God. The details may be exaggerated, but the overall situation is true.
There are many reasons why Bruce Lee's physical condition has declined so much:
(1) The overworked Bruce Lee has a strong self-will and desire for success, and he can work hard, which is beyond his physical endurance;
(2) Mental stress is described as follows;
(3) It is not certain that excessive practice is related to his death, but excessive practice is really harmful to the health. The life span of Muay Thai athletes is almost not very long. The fact is that most people who do high-intensity sports will not live long, so some people criticize that the current Olympic movement is not to keep fit but to refuse people to destroy it. As for some people who say that Bruce Lee doesn't practice internal skills and doesn't know how to adjust his breath, I personally don't think it's important. General exercise also practices internal strength to a certain extent;
(4) Smoking marijuana and abusing drugs. Autopsy proved that marijuana did exist in Bruce Lee's body, but the amount was very small. Although marijuana is not as powerful as heroin, it is still a chronic killer of the body. According to Du Huidong, a senior reporter, Bruce Lee overdosed and probably used steroids, a banned drug in sports.
(5) It is absolutely right to use a muscle vibrator, which has a great influence on the body. This kind of machine was bought in Japan and was later banned. It uses high-voltage electricity to forcibly vibrate muscles, destroying the balance and coordination between nervous system and physiological system. A year after Bruce Lee died, an action actor named Xie Yuan also used this machine. One day, he suddenly fainted and died.
3. Mental depression, unable to escape.
Bruce Lee advocated the nihility of Buddhism, and he succeeded in martial arts. However, he can't do it in his career. He didn't do it quietly, because he is Nietzsche in his career and life, and he wants to be a superman. He made Superman and went too far, so he was punished. A few months before Bruce Lee's death, his mental condition was as bad as his physical condition, which seemed to have doomed his death.
On April 1 day, April Fool's Day, 2003, Leslie Cheung floated down from the 24th floor and went to heaven. When a person has nothing, he is eager to get everything in his mind, but when he gets everything, he is confused again. He doesn't know where to go. He began to doubt the meaning of all this, or was afraid of losing it. He is anxious, hesitant and afraid, and his heart is shrouded in a layer of magic shadow.
Although no one dares to say that he knew Bruce Lee's exact state of mind at that time, he could refuse one, two, even three or four according to his abnormal behavior several months before his death. At that time, Bruce Lee's temper became very manic, and he often got angry with people for trifles. The biggest one was the "Lori Incident" which was a sensation at that time. Bruce Lee and Lowe have been at odds. This time, Bruce Lee drew a knife from his belt and put it around Lao's neck. He said, "I'm going to rip out your heart and see what color it is", which scared Luo to call the police. On another occasion, Bruce Lee put a knife rest around the neck of Huang Jizhong (one of the founders of Jiahe) just out of concern. Bruce Lee couldn't have done such a thing in the past. He is so profound and considerate. But after doing these things, he regretted it very much. Actually, he doesn't want to do it either. He just does it in a daze, sometimes thinking about patting his head. Bruce Lee suffers from severe mental depression, which may be related to smoking marijuana.
Bruce Lee thinks that Hong Kong people treat him badly and wants to live a quiet life back in Seattle. Bruce Lee told this to Huang Jizhong, and his coffin will be shipped back to Seattle in a few days! Jackie Chan was just a nobody in Bruce Lee's time. They were definitely not good friends. However, six days before his death, Bruce Lee took the initiative to go bowling with Jackie Chan. "One day, when I came out of the company, he (Bruce Lee) said to me,' Hey, Jackie Chan, where are you going?' I said, "Go bowling." So he said, I'll go with you. We went to the bowling alley together. But he didn't play. I play alone. He just sat and watched. I don't know what he is doing. He just sat there watching, his eyes were strange, as if he were looking far away, as if he were making some plans. He is thinking, as if deciding what to do next. Six days later, I heard that he was dead. I can't believe it. I ran to the company and they told me that I didn't believe he was really dead. "
According to western psychologists, people with two occupations have the highest probability of suffering from mental illness: one is a philosopher, the other is an artist, and Bruce Lee is a combination of the two. Of course, we can't say that Bruce Lee is mentally ill, otherwise we will be called mentally ill, because this is in China; But in the United States, it is ok to say so, because anxiety and insomnia belong to the category of mental illness.
In a word, various factors are destroying Bruce Lee's body and spirit, leading him to die step by step. Just before that, everything was wrapped up (because it was an entertainment circle), so Bruce Lee's death was sudden, which was a bolt from the blue for outsiders.
We should learn some lessons from Bruce Lee: being a man needs persistence and struggle, and we must never be complacent, but we should also be contented, know how to relax ourselves, and don't let ourselves fall down prematurely on the road of struggle.
The artistic starfish sank and the philosopher withered. Pay tribute to Bruce Lee, my idol and master. Please rest in peace! Your martial arts are booming all over the world, and your philosophy is constantly being promoted and improved. You will live in the hearts of people all over the world forever! ! !
