11/27/1940
San Francisco, California, USA:
Bruce Jun Fan Lee (Lee Siu Lung) nacque il 27 novembre 1940 a San Francisco, CA, mentre i suoi genitori erano in tournée con la Chinese Opera. Cresciuto infine a Hong Kong, Bruce Lee è stato un attore bambino che ha recitato in più di 20 film. All'età di 13 anni, Bruce iniziò a studiare il wing chun gung fu sotto la guida del rinomato maestro di wing chun Yip Man. Bruce lasciò Hong Kong a 18 anni, si trasferì negli Stati Uniti e si trasferì a Seattle, Washington, dove lavorò nel ristorante di un amico di famiglia. Presto si iscrisse all'Università di Washington, dove conseguì una laurea in filosofia. Bruce iniziò a insegnare gung fu a Seattle e presto aprì la sua prima scuola, il Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute. Seguirono altre due scuole a Oakland e Los Angeles. Contemporaneamente Bruce sposò sua moglie Linda e ebbe due figli, Brandon e Shannon. A metà degli anni Sessanta, Bruce fu scoperto mentre partecipava a una mostra agli Internazionali di Long Beach e poco dopo seguì un ruolo come Kato nella serie TV The Green Hornet. In quel periodo, Bruce stava anche sviluppando la sua arte marziale, che alla fine chiamò Jeet Kune Do (tradotto: la via del pugno intercettore). L'arte di Bruce era radicata in una base filosofica e non seguiva tradizioni marziali a lungo radicate. Al suo centro, invece, si concentravano le idee di semplicità, schiettezza e libertà personale. Dopo la cancellazione della serie The Green Hornet, Bruce incontrò resistenza mentre lavorava a Hollywood e così si trasferì a Hong Kong per intraprendere una carriera cinematografica. A Hong Kong realizzò 3 film, che consecutivamente batterono tutti i record al botteghino e mostrarono le arti marziali in modo completamente nuovo. Hollywood se ne accorse e presto Bruce realizzò la prima coproduzione tra Hollywood e Hong Kong con un film intitolato Enter the Dragon. Purtroppo, Bruce Lee morì nel 1973 prima dell'uscita di questo film. Questo film lo catapultò alla fama internazionale. Oggi l'eredità di Bruce Lee di espressione di sé, uguaglianza e innovazione pionieristica continua a ispirare persone in tutto il mondo.
