The truth about Bruce Lee's death in the book is completely different from the rumor.
It is understood that Ding Pei's uncle is Zhang Xueliang, and his grandfather was the police chief of Beijing at that time, and he was also a noble family. Because of her beautiful appearance and avant-garde fashion, she quickly became a famous beauty star in Hong Kong. From 65438 to 0972, Ding Pei met Bruce Lee, who was at the peak of his career, under the recommendation of the famous filmmaker Zou Wenhuai. According to Ding Pei's book, the other person has always been her idol, while Bruce Lee fell in love with her at first sight. Although Ding Pei knew that Bruce Lee had a family, she threw herself into this relationship regardless. Two people often date and enjoy the sweetness, and no one thought where you would go just one year later.
There is a widespread story about Bruce Lee's death, saying that he died that night after taking an aphrodisiac. This is also the reason why people keep criticizing Ding Pei, and even fanatical fans tried to assassinate her. According to Ding Pei, the facts are completely different. Bruce Lee and Zou Wenhuai came to Ding Pei's apartment that night to discuss the shooting of a new film. At 7 o'clock, Bruce Lee suddenly felt a headache. Ding Pei told him to take a painkiller and have a rest. Zou Wenhuai walked first and went to the restaurant to wait. Ding Pei watched TV alone until 9 o'clock. When she came into the room to wake Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee didn't respond.
The sudden death of a lover has been a great blow. At that time, countless rumors came to my face, which made young Ding Pei unbearable. She used to take drugs and her mental state was abnormal. It was not until two years later that Ding Pei chose to face everything with his best film. She volunteered to run away from Run Run Run Shaw, made a very large-scale erotic films film "Bruce Lee and Me", and later participated in several films. Soon after, Ding Pei married Xiang Huaqiang, a famous Hong Kong filmmaker, and had a daughter. The marriage didn't last long, but I was grateful for it, and felt that it gave her the strength to get through the most difficult period: "I really appreciate the teacher, who gave me the stable life I needed." We are still friends, and my fate with him is like a family. "
This book is intended to "let the world know my real past and magical present"
After the failure of marriage, Ding Pei chose to quit the film industry and live in seclusion. However, the relationship with Bruce Lee still had a lasting impact on her. Later, Ding Pei, who converted to Buddhism, organized a charitable foundation named after her and Bruce Lee, and also funded Bruce Lee's memorial activities and preaching ceremonies. As for the original intention of writing this book, Ding Pei said in the preface: "In the past 65,438+00 years, countless people contacted me to discuss autobiography and make a film in memory of Bruce Lee, but they failed to reach an agreement. Although these are my long-cherished wishes, in the end, I always feel uncomfortable in cooperation and the other party lacks understanding of me. Growing up, I didn't like reading and writing the most. At this age, I feel more tired of writing, and I have a headache when I think about it! Moreover, several writers I am looking for can't write clearly or thoroughly. But this book was finally written. I owe this to my children. I must let the world know my true past and magical present, otherwise I will not be a good mother and a good example. "
Later, Ding Pei discovered Yuan Taiji in Shanghai, a legendary masterpiece. She said that the two of them could hit it off. "I believe that God has not made friends for a long time, so he fully understands me. God helps those who help him, and with his clever pen, my autobiographical novel commemorating Bruce Lee can finally be published. " . Zhu Ruoyu, editor of this book and Shanghai Reader's Book Company, told Beijing Youth Daily that this happened about two years ago. "At that time, Ding Pei was in contact with a film and television company and wanted to make an autobiographical film first. Just as the screenwriter (that is, Yuan Taiji) is our signing screenwriter, we will discuss that it is better to publish the book first. " Zhu Ruoyu also said that now that the script has been basically created, it has begun to enter the preparatory stage of selecting directors.
I don't care about the voices and eyes of outsiders, but work hard for Bruce Lee.
Today, Ding Pei has been able to take the statement that "Ding Pei is the real murderer who killed Bruce Lee" lightly. She made a strong defense for herself in the book: "Because everyone understands the truth that no one in this world will kill the person he loves the most." As for the widely questioned questions in those years, such as whether she gave Bruce Lee medicine that night, and why she lied to the media that Bruce Lee died in her home, Ding Pei also explained them one by one. She also said: "I have always been in a role where I can't make a decision. I was just a 26-year-old girl at that time. For this sudden thing, I dare not even let me be the master. "
However, these arguments and explanations can't convince and satisfy everyone. When the news about the publication of this book was published online, many netizens still made negative comments, thinking that she was consuming the deceased and had ulterior motives. Is Ding Pei himself aware of these comments? How to react? Zhu Ruoyu, editor-in-chief, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that Ding Pei had heard about it, but just like her attitude in the book, she didn't care much about the outside voice and other people's eyes. In addition, she has no intention to participate in the marketing promotion of this book, nor does she want to have too much contact with the media and the public.
Ding Pei himself said, "I don't care what anyone thinks about my life, I just need to explain to Bruce Lee, because he gave me all his spiritual reputation! Bruce Lee said' truth' is the most precious thing, and he happened to be called Zhen Chen in Jingwumen. Before he died, he often praised my taste, my kindness and my sincerity to people. In order to live up to Bruce Lee's unique vision and don't want to disappoint him, practice hard. Today, I believe he will be comforted in the spirit of heaven and praise his good eyes. Because in the past 40 years, my continuous efforts have made countless dragon fans in the world, and their idols are still in full swing. There is no perfection in the world, but it is so perfect. As soon as the dragon appears, it will last forever. " Text/Reporter Cui Wei
What happened that night?
Block A2, 3rd Floor, 67 Beacon Hill Road, Hong Kong 65438+ 0973.
In fact, Bruce Lee hasn't been to Ding Pei's house for a long time. Although they often talk about scripts and chat together, they talked late the night before, but they are not at Ding Pei's house every time. This afternoon, Bruce Lee went upstairs directly into Ding Pei's home, this time with Zou Wenhuai, just like when they formally met for the first time.
Although time was tight, the filming of Game of Death went smoothly. It's almost seven o'clock in the evening when we finished talking, and it's still a little short before we make an appointment to have dinner with George Racine.
Bruce Lee stood up from his chair and stretched his neck, then frowned slightly and said, "Why does my head suddenly hurt?" Ding Pei immediately ran to the cupboard to find a bottle of painkillers after hearing this. She has a headache herself, so her personal doctor prescribed this painkiller EQUAGESIC for her symptoms, taking one tablet every time she has a headache. Ding Pei took the medicine, poured a glass of water and handed it to Bruce Lee, watching Bruce Lee take the medicine. Then Ding Pei looked at the table below and said, "There is still some time. Why don't you lie down in my room for a while first? It is very close to the Japanese restaurant you promised, which used to be very convenient. " Bruce Lee glanced at Zou Wenhuai with a frown. "Well, I'll lie down first."
Zou Wenhuai smiled vaguely. He should have other ideas: "How about this? I'll wait for Mr. George Racinby at the Japanese restaurant first to show our courtesy and sincerity. Xiaolong, you should rest here first, and come back when your headache is better. "
Ding Pei in order to let Bruce Lee have a good sleep, there would be no into the follow-up room, but sitting in the living room watching TV. After about eight o'clock, the telephone suddenly rang, which made Ding Pei shudder. It was Zou Wenhuai who called to ask when they would arrive. Ding Pei asked Zou Wenhuai to wait for a while, then leaned down and looked into the room. At that time, the door of the room was open. In the living room, you can directly see Bruce Lee lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. So Ding Pei told Zou Wenhuai that Bruce Lee was fast asleep now, let him sleep for a while, then wake him up and go to a Japanese restaurant together.
After answering the phone, Ding Pei continued to watch TV carefully. It was not until he was very hungry that Ding Pei found that it was past nine o'clock. So she quickly stood up and went to the room to call Bruce Lee, for fear that he would sleep and delay his business. This time, it is obviously different from just now. Ding Pei felt uncomfortable as soon as she entered the room. She seems to have felt this way before. Ding Pei called Bruce Lee twice and then gave him a gentle push. But Bruce Lee still slept soundly and didn't make a sound. At this time, Ding Pei began to be afraid, so he called Zou Wenhuai at once. "No, I'll call Xiaolong up. He doesn't seem to wake up." "Don't worry, I'll be right there." Zou Wenhuai has realized the seriousness of the matter from Ding Pei's voice.
Zou Wenhuai arrived at Ding Pei's house at about 9: 40. In fact, the Japanese restaurant where they ate was very close to Ding Pei's house, but when Zou Wenhuai arrived, the situation was not very good, and he was delayed for a while. When he arrived, Zou Wenhuai also tried to wake Bruce Lee, pushing him on the shoulder and slapping him in the face, but he still didn't wake up. So he immediately called Bruce Lee's personal doctor. Bruce Lee's personal doctor is British. Bruce Lee always thought he was conscientious and punctual, but it was strange that he couldn't be found that night. Finally, they had no choice but to call their personal doctor in Ding Pei immediately. Zhu Bohuai, a private doctor in Ding Pei, arrived in just over ten minutes. After coming, he checked Bruce Lee's condition and asked to send him to the hospital at once. Later, Zhu Bohuai testified in court that Bruce Lee's heartbeat, pulse and breathing were gone during the examination. Although his pupils are not completely open, they can be determined as "no signs of life".
Crusader ambulances also arrived soon. After Bruce Lee was sent to the ambulance, Zou Wenhuai sent the ambulance directly to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. At the same time, I also informed Bruce Lee's wife Linda and Bruce Lee's eldest brother Lee to rush to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. In fact, the nearest place to Ding Pei's house is Baptist Hospital, and Zhu Bohuai is a doctor in Baptist Hospital. But at that time, I didn't know why Zou Wenhuai sent him to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Later, someone asked Ding Pei why he didn't go to Baptist Hospital. Ding Pei said it wasn't her decision at that time.
After Zou Wenhuai sent Bruce Lee to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, he went back to his home in Ding Pei to get what Bruce Lee left here. At this time, he told Ding Pei, Linda told me that Bruce Lee had an accident in his home, and everyone had to talk to the outside media. This should be normal, in order to protect the reputation of Bruce Lee and Ding Pei. However, Zou Wenhuai, who has always been thoughtful, did not consider all the details clearly. When asked by the media about Bruce Lee's accident at home, they described completely different details. When the New Star Daily discovered through the records of the Crusaders that Bruce Lee was taken to the hospital from his home in Ding Pei, all the targets were aimed at Zou Wenhuai and Ding Pei.
After Bruce Lee's sudden death, Ding Pei really realized what a real ordeal was. It is a multi-faceted and multi-level torture and suffering, and there is nowhere to escape. It was a reporter from Hong Kong's New Star Daily who first discovered that Bruce Lee's ambulance ticket came from Ding Pei's home, not his own. So the day after Bruce Lee's death was announced, the media attacked first, and the obtained evidence debunked Zou Wenhuai's incomplete lies. Because of Bruce Lee's identity and popularity, the government immediately set up a coroner's court to investigate the matter. All this has pushed Ding Pei to the forefront, and all kinds of accusations and doubts have been suppressed like a mountain. When the fact that Bruce Lee died in bed was completely confirmed, she became the target of public criticism. Many people think that Ding Pei killed Bruce Lee. Even if she didn't kill him, the cause of death should at least have a lot to do with her. So Bruce Lee's admirers vented their anger on Ding Pei, and some even threatened his life.
Fortunately, the cause of Bruce Lee's death was quickly concluded. According to all kinds of evidence obtained, the court analyzed ten possibilities of Bruce Lee's death, none of which was related to Ding Pei. The final verdict of Bruce Lee's death is "the cause of death is unknown". Although this conclusion is very vague and many people don't believe it, it at least protects Ding Pei from the influence of official investigation results.
