When I think of Bruce Lee, I would always see him as the unbeatable martial art expert who was so light in his feet that you can almost see him flying against walls and ceiling while his boyish good looks enchants you.
I did not know that Bruce Lee was actually born in America. I thought he was from Hong Kong or Beijing and because of his extra-ordinary screen presence, he was able to go beyond boundaries and conquer the world. Well wherever he was born, he did conquer the world the way Marilyn Monroe did. His posters are still popularly pasted on the walls of his fans, both young and not too young. He is truly a 20th century icon, the real McCoy.
Apparently, Bruce Lee was born on 27 November 1940 in Chinatown in San Francisco. I did not know that Bruce Lee was born in the 1940s. He was such a Peter Pan; he has that boyish appeal. I supposed he did die very young in July 20, 1973. He was only 32.

Bruce Lee was quite the philosopher. He did study philosophy and psychology concurrently while a Drama student at the University of Washington.

Love is like friendship caught on fire: In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
