Bruce Lee's "Meal Culture"

Bruce Lee may have created the first "meal culture" in the true sense of China, the West and the world.

In the "Reference News" report on August 7, 1998, Hong Kong's "Asia Weekly" gave a strong "Pink Xiaolong" reason: the current society does not ask right and wrong, only care about "self-feeling good" The heroes are full of enthusiasm, and the anti-intellectual "nonsense" is popular, not to mention the indiscriminate killing of innocent underworld leaders who are worshipped and form a strange phenomenon of "strict heroes".

The heroic image of Bruce Lee’s heavy-duty festival and anti-evil happens to form a strong contrast, sweeping away the hurricane of morality.

Still ranked among the most popular stars in Japanese magazines.

To what extent did the worship of Bruce Lee go to such an extent?

"(The last century) In the 1970s, Bruce Lee became a hero of Chinese people all over the world. The Chinese in Malaysia were no exception. They named the children Xiaolong. It is obvious that the charm of Bruce Lee is not simple."

Bruce Lee’s fans are not limited to Asia, and there are also followers in Russia. On March 1, 2001, "Reference News" published an article entitled "Korean Kung Fu Kid", referring to "Hlebnikov, who is nearly 12 years old, has practiced martial arts since childhood and has mastered all kinds of Chinese boxing skills." At the age of 10, he played in the Russian National Wushu Championships and defeated many opponents who were older than himself. He won the junior championship in one fell swoop. Because of the high martial arts, people called Helibnikov as Russia. 'Bruce Lee'".


The "Reference News" on November 28, 2005 also records: Reuters reported that the city of Mostar, in the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, unveiled the statue of the world’s first kung fu legend, Bruce Lee, to the country. The idol of the people pays tribute. This life-size bronze statue is 168 meters high and was placed in the central park of Mostar, near the front line of the civil war from 1992 to 1995 in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Far more than his fame as a movie star. Michael, 29, of Portland, Oregon, said: 'He never let anything hinder himself. He never limits himself. If there is an obstacle blocking his way. He will find a way to bypass it.'"

The world’s worship of Bruce Lee is not limited to national boundaries and culture. According to a report on January 17, 2001, "Oriental Martial Arts Poured in the UK" - "Eastern Kung Fu Tide" opened by Bruce Lee made the martial arts hall an instant. Films that flaunt kung fu, judo or karate, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Charlie's Baby, have increased the number of British martial arts fans by 20% in the past four months.

Bruce Lee’s famous "philosophy of water" says: Eliminate thoughts, you have no form, no shape, like water, you pour water into the cup, the water becomes the shape of the cup, you pour the water into the bottle, it becomes In the shape of the bottle, you pour water into the teapot, and the water becomes the shape of the teapot. The water can flow and impact. Therefore, Bruce Lee is soft like water, but it is also as hard as steel. In the white world of the United States, he does not regret that he is an Asian. Instead, he must fully support himself as a Chinese.
