<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the legendary life of Bruce Lee</h1>
Born in November 1940 in San Francisco, Bruce Lee was originally named Lee Jin-fan and his family name was Lee Won-hsin, and just three months later, Bruce Lee came to the screen as the young Wang Lailu in "The Golden Gate Girl", after which his parents took him back to Hong Kong.
In later growth, Bruce Lee also became a shining child star, because of his love for filming, which made Bruce Lee very disgusted with learning, and even in the fifth grade of primary school alone, he went to school for three years.
When Bruce Lee was eleven years old, he participated in the movie "The Beginning of Man", in which he used the stage name "Bruce Lee" for the first time, and this name also accompanied him for the rest of his life.
In the process of filming, Bruce Lee gradually became interested in Chinese martial arts, tai chi, Hong quan, etc., he learned, but Bruce Lee felt that these martial arts were too soft, so he lost interest in it.
Bruce Lee heard about Wing Chun and was very powerful, so he asked his friends to worship Ip Man as a teacher, and because Bruce Lee had a very high talent for martial arts, he was naturally also appreciated by Ip Man.
Since then, Bruce Lee has been inseparable from martial arts, Bruce Lee was 19 years old, went to San Francisco, the United States, in order to carry forward the martial arts, but also opened a martial arts class, Bruce Lee gradually became famous.
With the continuous improvement of the facilities of martial arts classes, many prominent martial arts stars in the world, such as the American karate champion Rollys, Hollywood's famous movie stars James Hömbe and Steve, have all competed to worship him as a teacher.
Bruce Lee was rescued and loved to act, he felt that he could also be a martial arts star, so he brought Chinese martial arts to film and television, and also to the world.
With the birth of a series of acclaimed films and television, Bruce Lee broke into Hollywood with his strength and became the first Chinese protagonist in Hollywood.
In March 1973, Bruce Lee suspended the filming of "Game of Death" for "Raptors Crossing the River", after the former was completed, Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong to continue filming the latter, and he died mysteriously before the drama was finished.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" > Ding Pei's acting career</h1>
Ding Pei, formerly known as Tang Meili, ancestral home in Beijing, born in Taiwan, her uncle is the famous Zhang Xueliang, her grandfather was the chief of the Beiping police, has such a prominent family lineage, Tang Meili has also received a good education since childhood.
Tang Meili is not only good at sports, but also dances very well, coupled with her natural beauty and love of acting, so that she has become a delicate flower in the show business circle at the age of less than 20 years old.
When she was 20 years old, Ding Pei went to Hong Kong and joined Shaw, who is extremely famous and confident in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and it was at this time that she gave herself the stage name of Ding Pei.
In many film and television dramas starring Ding Pei, her beauty has to be impressive, in addition, she is also known for her bold style and self-sufficiency in filming, perhaps it is precisely because of this that she can conquer Bruce Lee, who was already married and had children at that time.
Carefully calculated, Ding Pei and Bruce Lee have not been together for a long time, and if it were not for Bruce Lee's sudden violent death, they might still be able to enjoy some happy and beautiful times.
Unfortunately, the two eventually separated from yin and yang.
It is worth mentioning that in the third year after Bruce Lee's death, Ding Pei married Xiang Huaqiang, a big man in the show business at that time, and after the marriage, the two also gave birth to a daughter.
But in the end, neither of them could get to the end, and after only four years, they parted ways, and according to Ding Pei's later explanation, the marriage was only a formality.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54" > the mystery of Bruce Lee's violent death</h1>
After divorcing Xiang Huaqiang, Ding Pei still insisted on reading the Buddhist chantings, and in order to find out the mystery of Bruce Lee's death, many people also looked for Ding Pei, but for various reasons, Ding Pei did not agree.
July 20, 2015, the 42nd anniversary of Bruce Lee's death, was the day when "Bruce Lee and My Old Time: Half a Life's Practice, A Lifetime of Remembrance" dictated by Ding Pei was born internally.
At this time, Ding Pei was 68 years old, and she explained to the media that she only published the book this time to give an account to her daughter and Bruce Lee.
It is in this book that Ding Pei introduces in detail the various abnormal behaviors of Bruce Lee before his death.
On the afternoon of the incident, Bruce Lee and Zou Wenhuai went to Ding Pei's home to discuss the next step of "Game of Death", and during the conversation, Bruce Lee suddenly said that his head hurt a little, and Ding Pei found him some painkillers.
Next Ding Pei asked Bruce Lee to go to the bedroom to sleep, and then Zou Wenhuai left, but after more than two hours, Ding Pei still did not see Bruce Lee wake up, so he went to call him, and Bruce Lee did not have any reaction.
Ding Pei hurriedly called Zou Wenhuai, after Zou Wenhuai arrived, he noticed that something was abnormal, so he called Bruce Lee's personal doctor, but he could not contact him that day, Ding Pei called his personal doctor, and by the time the doctor arrived, Bruce Lee had lost his vital signs.
At first glance, Bruce Lee's death does have a lot of suspicious points, but Ding Pei explains it like this:
A long time ago, Bruce Lee had taken electric shock means to quickly train muscles, and as he grew older, the intensity of the electric shock gradually increased, and his ability to withstand it had reached its limit, and I dissuaded him many times, but he did not listen.
In the impression of many of us, Bruce Lee's muscles are indeed enough for men, but it is easy to have problems with the use of electric shock methods, and Ding Pei believes that it is this kind of seedling-fueled devil training that kills Bruce Lee.
Later, the forensic doctor also found drugs such as marijuana and aspirin in Bruce Lee's stomach, but the amount of these drugs was not enough to be fatal, and finally only cerebral edema was used to make a conclusive conclusion.
So, what do you think bruce Lee died violently, and did Ding Pei's self-report deliberately exonerate him?
