Bruce Lee, son of Cantonese opera star Lee Hoi-Chuen, was one of the biggest names in Hollywood of his time. He is credited with introducing the East to the silver screens of the West. His greatest passion in life was Kung Fu-an ancient Chinese martial art unknown in the West until 1965, the year he made his first television appearance.
A Kung Fu master, an actor, and a philosopher, Bruce Lee embodied the idea of a complete human one with a strong body and a critical mind. He studied a system of Chinese Kung Fu for nine years called Wing Chun. Apart from this, he was an ardent reader of Confucius. He tried to incorporate Confucian philosophy and teachings into his life. He taught Americans about Chinese philosophy and culture for six years.
He detested mediocrity and always pushed his limits, both physically and mentally. He inspired generations of youngsters worldwide through his work and continues to do so even today. On July 20, 1973, the world lost this most influential martial artist of all time.
