04, Bruce Lee and Fan Shaohuang, who almost became his son
Fan Meisheng and Bruce Lee were old friends for many years, and when his son Fan Shaohuang was born, he rejected Bruce Lee's idea of accepting Fan Shaohuang as his son, because he was worried that Bruce Lee was too famous and that he would not be able to discipline his son later.
