Kung-Fu Schools opened in America
Bruce Lee enrolled in college there, but his mind was engrossed in martial arts. Later he opened his own kung-fu school. This angered the Chinese living in America because they believed that it was a crime to teach martial arts to non-Chinese. Bruce Lee did not mind, then the famous Chinese-American fighter of that era, Wong Jack-man, challenged him that only if he beat, would be able to run a school in America. Bruce Lee confronted him. It is said that within a minute or two, Wong Jack-Mann left the field and ran away. Then Bruce Lee ran and challenged them. After that, the fame of his school grew in America.
Film career
After years of struggle, when Bruce Lee got the film and his shots started being filmed, the cameraman raised his hand because Bruce Lee’s moves and stunts were so fast that he could not catch the camera. Even more agile than a cheetah, Bruce Lee was asked to slow down his stunts. Bruce Lee’s stunts still look very fast on camera even today, while they are slow stunts compared to his true standard.
Today’s superstar Jackie Chan used to work as an extra in Bruce Lee’s films at that time. Bruce Lee’s stick, unfortunately, hit Jackie Chan while fighting in a scene in ‘Enter the Dragon’. He got injured. But Jackie Chan considers it a privilege because after this incident Bruce Lee stroked her forehead and hugged him. Jackie is happy with the fact that after this Bruce Lee started knowing him by name.
Interested in meditation and contemplation,
He was not only a fighter, but his spiritual consciousness was very developed. This can be understood by reading ‘Letters of the Dragon, a collection of his personal letters. He used to read books, meditate and contemplate and had a great understanding of philosophy. In a letter to his friend Pearl Tsu in 1962, he said, ‘I have a creative spiritual force that is greater than my religion, my faith, my ambition, my self-confidence, my resolution, and my dreams, and this power lives in my hands. After seeing his agility on the screen, the truth of this thing is felt.
Sad Death
He died a very painful death. Bruce Lee was about to make a film with actor George Lazenby. He was in touch with Bruce Lee in that regard. On July 20, 1973, she was to have dinner with Bruce Lee. Lee’s wife, Linda, reported that Lee, along with George Lazenby, met producer Raymond Cho at 2 p.m. to discuss making the film Game of Death. They worked until 4 a.m. and then went to Li’s co-worker, Taiwanese actress Betty Ting Pei. The trio discussed the script at Ting’s house, and then Cho left for a dinner meeting. Lee then said that he was having a headache. At this Ting gave them pain medicine. At around 7.30, Lee lay down to take a nap. When Lee did not come for dinner, producer Raymond Cho went into the room to pick him up but he could not pick up Lee. A doctor was called. The doctor watched Lee for ten minutes, then called an ambulance and sent him to the hospital. Lee was declared dead upon being taken to the hospital.
It takes a decision to become the person who is willing to do the work and to stand out from the pack.
