Twenty years later, his son Brandon Lee was "killed by mistake" on the set. He bled to death at the age of 28.
Father and son died at a young age, and the cause of death is not clear, especially in the shooting in Brandon Lee. So far, the murderer has not been found. Fates of father and son are similar. Was it an accident or a conspiracy?
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, USA. His real name is Li. He also has a brother and two sisters at home. His father is one of the four famous ugliness of Cantonese opera.
His father didn't want him to receive an American education, so he brought him back to Hong Kong when he was three months old. After that, Bruce Lee stayed in Hongkong for a long time and received the education of China traditional culture. This also made him deeply imprint the words "China people" on himself.
He also thanked his father for his original decision:
Bruce Lee started acting at the age of 6, and participated in 20 films before and after, but all of them were bit parts.
The stage name "Bruce Lee" was also given by the original author of a movie starring him when he was 9 years old. At that time, no one expected that many years later, this name would be famous all over the world.
Being naughty since childhood, my father can only send this son to martial arts, hoping that the master can spur him well.
1954, his father sent him to study with wing chun master IP Man, when Bruce Lee was only 13 years old. After studying for a year, the brothers in the martial arts school began to take some precautions against him. Because his mother was half German, and at that time Wing Chun was forbidden to be passed on to foreigners. Ip Man had to teach him privately.
After four years of study, Bruce Lee gradually realized that Wushu is not for competition, but for the pursuit of peace. If you don't compete and follow the trend, you can succeed.
But Bruce Lee, full of vigor and vitality, was still in trouble. 1959 was involved in a gun battle in Hong Kong and called the police. The other party had a triad background and was only 17 years old. For the sake of his son's safety, his father sent him to study in America.
At that time, Bruce Lee's second sister was also in the United States, and many relatives and friends were there. When he returned to America, he was afraid that no one would take care of him.
196 1 year, Bruce Lee was admitted to Washington university. Perhaps influenced by his father, he chose drama as his major and founded the National Art Museum of Fan Zhen. He also met his wife Linda emory there, and they became husband and wife in August 1964. The following year, their son Brandon Lee was born, and then they had a daughter.
Bruce Lee left school before finishing his studies, and then met the famous martial artist Yan Jinghai. They often learn from each other. Later, Yan Jinghai helped him to open a second martial arts museum.
Although he is a wing chun teacher, he thinks wing chun movements are too simple and complicated and not practical. After coming to the United States, he saw that many martial arts schools in China often fought and killed each other, so he criticized this phenomenon and offended many martial artists. At the same time, he also recruited foreign students, which violated the rule of "no foreigners" in China Wushu. At that time, many martial arts schools looked at him with unhappy eyes.
At that time, the status of China people was not high, and even if there were roles, most of them were negative images. Unable to make great achievements in the United States, Bruce Lee decided to return to China for development after careful consideration.
In the early 1970s, Bruce Lee, who had just returned to Hong Kong, sought cooperation from Shao Yifu, but Shao Yifu thought his offer was too high, so he gave it up. At this time, Zou Wenhuai had just left Shaw to set up Jiahe Film. 197 1, Bruce Lee joined his company.
In just a few years, he made many films:
The cinema was full and the box office record was broken. Every work by Bruce Lee is the pinnacle of Hong Kong movies. His influence on Hong Kong movies is no less than an earthquake.
However, Bruce Lee's life is like a meteor, which is fleeting.
1On the evening of July 20th, 973, he and Zou Wenhuai came to Ding Pei's apartment to discuss the details of the second part of Game of Death. Less than 7 o'clock, Bruce Lee suddenly felt a headache, so Ding Pei found his usual painkillers and let him have a rest in bed after eating.
After the party, Zou Wenhuai left first, while Ding Pei was watching TV in the living room. It's nine o'clock and Bruce Lee is still awake. Ding Pei called Zou Wenhuai back soon. After that, Zou Wenhuai didn't wake him up in any way, so he quickly dialed 120 and informed Linda. When the doctor arrived, he found Bruce Lee dead.
A generation of superstars fell.
Although the hospital later announced that Bruce Lee died of "brain edema". But there are still many people who can't believe it and are skeptical about the real cause of Bruce Lee's death.
Watching his father practice martial arts since childhood, Brandon Lee naturally followed in his father's footsteps and became a martial arts star.
He entered the entertainment circle at the age of 20. After years of hard work, he gradually gained some fame, and many people expected him to be the next Bruce Lee.
1993, Brandon Lee and michael massee participated in the filming of Raven.
On April 1 day, they were filming on the set, and Maxi shot Brandon Lee with a prop gun. With the gunshot, Brandon Lee fell to the ground, covered with blood. Everyone at the scene was frightened, so hurry to send him to the hospital. However, due to serious injuries and untimely rescue, Brandon Lee was declared dead after being rescued. This year, he was only 28 years old.
After that, the police checked the crew and found that the rest of the bullets were fake, only the one shot at Brandon Lee was real. The police locked in three suspects: the shooting actor Messi, the prop manager who kept the prop gun and the stuntman who loaded the bullet.
But later, the police gave up the investigation of these three people, and the real murderer who killed Brandon Lee was never found out.
There are many doubts, and there are many speculations about his death.
One is because he bought the former residence of movie star errol flynn and offended others. There is also a saying because he once said that the real cause of his father's death will be announced after the filming.
For whatever reason, Brandon Lee passed away forever.
Michael Messi, the actor who killed him by mistake, has always been unhappy. He didn't even dare to watch The Crow after it was released. Maixi, who spent his whole life feeling guilty, died on 20 16 1 27 October at the age of 61.
Brandon Lee was buried next to his father, Bruce Lee. Both father and son died young, which made people cry.
There have always been different opinions about the causes of death of Li's father and son, but they have never been able to get an accurate answer. I wonder when the truth will come.
