40 years today July 20th 2013
It’s been 40 years since the death of martial artist Bruce Lee.
Lee died at the peak of his career, aged just 32, but he left a legion of fans around the world.
In Hong Kong, where he made his name, an exhibition is commemorating his life.
Marking his death 40 years ago on July 20, the Hong Kong government has teamed up with the Bruce Lee Foundation to put together an exhibition to showcase the late star's life, from his famous yellow tracksuit he wore in the movie "Game of Death," to his writings and drawings.
The exhibition that opened Saturday, "Bruce Lee: Kung fu. Art. Life," has more than 600 items on display, including photos, costumes, videos and even a 3.5-metre statue.
Lee, who was born in San Francisco but raised in Hong Kong, died at the height of his fame due to an allergic reaction to painkillers at the age of 32. His last film, "Enter The Dragon," was released six days after his death and became his most popular movie.
Shannon Lee, who was 4 when her father died, said he is still such a strong influence that many make assumptions about her.
"People immediately assume that I am some amazingly skilled and deadly martial artist," said Lee, who added she has studied martial arts but is a 44-year-old businesswomen with a 10-year old child.
Lee, who is also the president of the Bruce Lee Foundation, said not many people know the depth of her father as a man, with most only appreciating his skills in the martial arts.
"Hopefully this exhibition will help show a more complete picture," she said, by showing the family side to her father, the hard work he put into making his movies and other aspects of his life such as the poetry he wrote.
"I think a lot of people see the final product up on screen and they go, `oh, there's a talented guy,' but they don't see all the effort that went into it," she said.
Lee said working to promote her father's legacy was inspiring because she gets to see "how many lives he's touched in such a positive way, and if I can keep that going, that's meaningful."

The show goes on
http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1149603/enter-long-awaited-bruce-lee-show
More than 100 items of memorabilia telling the life story of late kung fu legend Bruce Lee will go on display for the first time in July.
The five-year Bruce Lee exhibition at the Heritage Museum in Sha Tin is the result of efforts by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department after a plan to convert the star's former home into a museum fell through.
The department said most of the exhibits would be on loan from the Bruce Lee Foundation, a public benefit corporation which aims to promote and preserve the legacy of the late star, run by his family - wife Linda Lee Cadwell and daughter Shannon Lee.

Seattle City Councilmember Bruce Harrell has found a way to honor his childhood hero, Bruce Lee.
He is working with Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, to create a Bruce Lee Action Museum — known as BLAM! — to honor the action-movie star’s legacy and teachings.
“We really want to showcase the legacy of action, which I believe is my father’s real legacy,” Lee said.
That action refers to more than just his movies, she said. It includes his social, cultural and philosophical contributions.

Bruce Lee the musical
After two years of laying the groundwork with coproducer Hongming Wang, Robert Vicencio, Filipino-Australian actor-producer, will mount “Ip Man the Musical.”
The musical comes on the heels of two popular movies on martial arts legend Ip Man, renowned as the mentor of Bruce Lee.
Vicencio acknowledged that the original “Ip Man” movie, starring Donnie Yen, sparked the world’s interest in the martial-arts master and his legacy.
“People wanted to know more about the teacher who inspired Bruce Lee. Ip Man, however, was more enigmatic compared to his famous student,” Vicencio told the Inquirer in an e-mail interview.
Vicencio and coproducer Wang kept the project under wraps for two years. “We wanted to make sure we had tied up all the loose ends before launching the musical.” (Premiere is set in Singapore in August 2014.)
Vicencio and Wang were able to sign up Ip Man’s son, Ip Ching, to join the venture. “Ching will help us delve deeper into Ip Man as a man, teacher and father. We are not adapting the movies… rather, we are creating our own production.”
This early, the producers have dubbed the show as an “epic mega-musical.”
Envisioned as a sung-through musical, “Ip Man” will be a cross between “Miss Saigon” and “Les Miserables,” Vicencio said.
Vicencio played Thuy in “Miss Saigon” for eight years and performed in 10 cities, including London, Singapore, Sydney and Hong Kong.
