On June 3, 2009, Shi Jian died of kidney failure at the age of 96.
Many people may not know him, but he is the man who punched Bruce Lee in the face on the set in the 1970s.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="3" > on set, Bruce Lee was injured</h1>
Shi Jian, who was in his sixties at the time, was invited to play the role of Mr. Han in "Dragon Fight and Tiger Fight".
This made Shi Jian excited, after all, Bruce Lee was not only the light of the Chinese, but also the world-class kung fu superstar at that time. It was his honor to be able to cooperate with him, so Shi Jian made sufficient preparations for this cooperation.
Stills of Shi Jian
One day on the set, due to the lack of understanding of the script and other factors, Shi Jian has not completed a punching shot.
After repeated shooting many times, Bruce Lee was still not satisfied, so he constantly communicated with Shi Jian, adjusting his movements and expressions, and striving to complete this shot perfectly.
Only to see bruce Lee after saying the request, with his hand to make an "OK" gesture, meaning that he had finished speaking. But Shi Jian misunderstood his meaning and thought he was going to start the audition, so he threw a punch at Bruce Lee's head.
The unsuspecting Bruce Lee naturally did not have time to dodge this punch, and Shi Jian hit him in the face firmly, causing some blood to ooze from the corners of his mouth, and the scene was once very embarrassing. After all, it was Bruce Lee.
However, Bruce Lee did not make a big fuss about this oolong incident, he only left for a moment, and soon returned to work again.
Shi Jian was also relieved, and afterwards he said in an interview that it was fortunate that Bruce Lee did not feel bad with him because of this, and he also sincerely expressed his apologies, and the two always focused on filming, and finally brought a magnificent classic "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" to the audience.
In addition, Shi Jian also modestly said that if Bruce Lee really wanted to seriously fight with him, he was definitely not his opponent.
This oolong incident is still talked about by everyone.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="52" > both parents die, and adversity becomes a talent</h1>
Shi Jian is a native of Guangdong, and his parents both died when he was very young. Fortunately, relatives adopted him and took care of him growing up.
Shi Jian was young
Shi Jian was not in good health when he was young, and after hearing that martial arts could strengthen his body, he was weak and often sick, so he was sent to the martial arts gym to learn martial arts.
As he learned, Shi Jian found that his coordinated limbs and agile reactions seemed to be born for the purpose of learning martial arts. During the 9 years he spent studying at the martial arts gym, he practiced the basics and learned a variety of martial arts.
It is worth noting that Shi Jian was born in a turbulent era, and his boyhood was during China's War of Resistance. Therefore, at that time, Shi Jian, like many young people, cherished his homeland and wanted to contribute to the country.
Subsequently, he resolutely joined the strike and joined the organization of the anti-war program. In the process of participating in the performance, he discovered his own interpretive talent.
When he was a teenager, Shi Jian was handsome and tall, and with a martial arts skill, he quickly found his own position in the acting industry.
In 1940, the movie "Blood Sea Flower" sent an invitation to Shi Jian. He played a villain in it, and the young Shi Jian at the time must not have expected that most of the roles in his future career would be villains.
Although he is a villain, Shi Jian does not have complaints like many actors. Everyone thinks that it is difficult to play the villain, but also a "thankless" role, if you don't act well, you will be scolded for not acting well, and if you act well, you will be easily scolded by the audience who "goes too deep into the play".
And at that time, the film and television drama industry was just emerging, and the general public was more likely to enter the drama, and subconsciously believed that actors were also bad people.
But Shi Jian did not care about this, he had been practicing martial arts for many years, with a tough and peaceful quality, he thought that he only needed to play the role in place, and he did not have to care too much about things off the screen.
It is also this kind of work attitude that makes him have a good reputation in the industry and continue to make films.
In 1949, Shi Jian received an invitation from the crew of "The Biography of Huang Feihong" to play the role of Mr. Shi. Again, this is a fierce character. But Shi Jian, as always, carefully studied and pondered the characteristics of the role with a dedicated attitude.
During the filming of the "Wong Fei Hung" series, he had a very pleasant cooperation with several leading actors, and some interesting things happened.
During the filming of "Huang Feihong: Blood Stained Furong Valley", Shi Jian and Luo Yanqing played against each other. The other party plays the daughter of Mr. Shi, although it is a father and daughter, but the character played by Luo Yanqing is very rebellious and has always wanted to escape her father's control.
The character played by Shi Jian is extremely controlling and impulsive, and the two are constantly in conflict.
Stills of Luo Yanqing
In one scene, Shi Jian and Luo Yanqing had a big fight, and then the character played by Shi Jian became angry and tightened Luo Yanqing's neck from behind, trying to force her to be soft.
This scene was extremely demanding on dramatic tension, and in that era of less developed technology, the actors were really acting out, without borrowing or special effects.
Luo Yanqing
When Shi Jian acted here, because he was too serious into the drama, the strength of Luo Yanqing in his hand had not weakened, and even had a growing trend.
Luo Yanqing was strangled to the point of almost breathlessness, but she also completed the shooting with dedication, and then slapped Shi Jian hard to make him play.
There is also Cao Dahua, who plays Liang Kuan, who also formed a deep "cooperation friendship" with Shi Jian because of this shooting.
The two often studied the script together on the set, and they carefully studied the choreography of each line and action, and strived to be the best. After that, the two often cooperated, and were also known as "loyal and perfect match".
Shi Jian and Cao Dahua
However, this pair of on-screen partners did not negotiate much outside the scene. In this regard, Shi Jian revealed that the two have similar interests in their careers, but they do not have any common interests in life.
Shi Jian prefers to read at home, while Cao Dahua prefers to party with friends, so the two rarely intersect. However, in Cao Dahua's heart, he has always recognized Shi Jian's business ability.
Cao Dahua and Shi Jian
Cao Dahua once invested in the film himself, and invited Shi Jian to star at the first time, which shows the degree of recognition of each other by the two. After Cao Dahua's death, Shi Jian also felt sad about the loss of such a partner.
In addition to the actors who are also supporting roles, there is Also Guan Dexing, who plays the protagonist Huang Feihong. But the relationship between the two seems to be less harmonious, and it has even been rumored that the relationship is not harmonious.
Shi Jian and Guan Dexing
This kind of rumor is actually not empty, Guan Dexing once revealed in an interview that when filming in the theater, he has obviously choreographed martial arts actions, but Shi Jian always loves to play on the spot, and he has one more move or two moves, making him tired of coping.
What's more, there are rumors that Guan Dexing once said something misleading to Shi Jian's wife. But the news is true or false, and there is still no result.
Stills of Guan Dexing and Shi Jian
For the rumors, both of them tacitly chose to fight in an interview, and did not answer directly. Shi insisted that the two did not have any deep hatred, but their styles of doing things were different, and it was inevitable that there would be some differences when cooperating.
After that, Shi Jian has starred in many film and television works, which has a certain influence in the industry.
This made Bruce Lee think of him when filming "Dragon Fight", that is, when filming this drama, the previous oolong incident occurred. Later, this film and works such as "The Legend of the Archery Hero" are also Shi Jian's classic masterpieces, which can be said to be mutual achievements.
In 1993, Shi Jian, who was already eighty years old, officially announced that he had quit film and television circles. After more than fifty years of hard work in the film industry, he retired from success, and everyone recognized his status in the film industry. So in 1996, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award for Hong Kong Film.

Although Shi Jian has played any kind of bad role in the play, outside the play, his character is beyond doubt.
After many movie stars have fame, status, and wealth, it is easy to linger in the entertainment venues of drunken fans and spread peach news, but Shi Jian does not.
Shi Jian and Zhou Runfa
His wife's name is Li Jieying, and the two met in the drama club when they were in their twenties. At that time, Shi Jian fell in love with Li Jieying at first sight, so he tried his best to pursue her.
Seeing that Shi Jian was tall and handsome, Li Jieying also moved her heart for him. In this way, the two fell in love.
Li Jieying and Shi Jian
After two years in love, the two confirmed that the other was the person they wanted, so they quickly got a license to get married. At that time, the young Shi Jian had not yet made a name for himself in the film world, and there were no material conditions for wealth, and all he could give Li Jieying was a piece of sincerity. But the two are still very sweet together.
After marriage, the two gave birth to four sons and two daughters, which shows the degree of their love.
After Shi Jian became famous, he was very busy and often filmed in other places. On the one hand, the chai rice oil and salt of life and the pressure of parenting, on the other hand, is the entertainment circle of red wine and greenery, but even if the temptation is great, it has not affected the lives of the two.
Shi Jian was very devoted to his wife and had never had a scandal. The two are also often photographed by the media traveling together, which is enviable.
In 1998, his wife Li Jieying died. Shi Jian was so sad that he placed Li Jieying's photo at home, and every day he would put fresh fruits to pay tribute to show his sorrow. After Li Jieying left, Shi Jian remained alone until his death, which can be described as "love is better than Shi Jian".
In 2009, the heart-wrenching news came that The ninety-six-year-old Shi Jian died of kidney failure, and countless fans felt sad.
Shi Jian's funeral was held in Hong Kong, many friends in the circle were present, the scene can be said to be a gathering of big coffee, Chen Baozhu, Zhao Yazhi and other people have been present, sending old friends on the last journey.
Shi Jian and Bruce Lee
Shi Jian spent most of his life in the film industry, leaving many classic works, which make the majority of film fans nostalgic to this day. Hopefully, he will still be able to live soberly in another world.
