In China, there are many Kung fu masters and action movie stars. The most famous must be Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Lee, renowned Kung fu stars both at home and abroad. They are the spokesmen of Chinese Kung Fu. People can really marvel at and admire the charm of Chinese martial arts from their marvellous works.
Bruce Lee, regarded as the 'King of Kungfu', stirred a sensation in US from 1960s to 1970s, changing Chinese image in America where "the Chinese were stereotyped as meek house servants and railroad workers". His steely sinew redeem Chinese image. But it’s regretful that he lived a transient life of 32 years and died in 1973. His death was a loss to Chinese people and Kungfu movies.
In his transient life, Bruce Lee made great contribution to the development of Chinese Kungfu movies. The representative work must be: The Big Boss(Also known as Fists of Fury in the United States), FIST OF FURY(known as The Chinese Connection in the United States), Way Of The Dragon, Enter the Dragon, Game Of Death.
A good news for the fans of Bruce Lee is that a TV series “The Legend of Bruce Lee” will be staged in 2008. Based on the life of Bruce Lee, the TV series will reveal many untold stories about the superstar for the first time.
