"32-year-old kung fu superstar Bruce Lee died, dying in the bed of his lover Ding Pei, and the autopsy report proved that 'he took too much m before he died!' ”
When Ding Pei saw this news, his hands trembled.
Did the news still go out?
On the day of Bruce Lee's death, Zou Wenhuai discussed with Bruce Lee's wife, Linda, to hide the truth about Bruce Lee's death—not to let the public know that he died in his lover's home.
His influence is too great, and the consequences of the exposure of things are not within their control.
Linda agreed, and at the press conference they said nothing about Ding Pei, saying only that Bruce Lee died at home.
But the paper can't contain the fire after all, and someone revealed that the ambulance drove out from the Beacon Mountain Road, and that it was the residence of Bruce Lee's gossip girlfriend Ding Pei!
Everyone concluded that Bruce Lee's death was not so simple.
The autopsy report confirmed this.
Bruce Lee died of cerebral edema, and the composition of the big m was detected in his body.
The public was sensationalized, and the autopsy report proved their suspicions correct, because in those days, another role of the big m was an aphrodisiac.
The cause of Bruce Lee's death is clear, he died of taking cui love medicine and excessive indulgence.
That is what Hong Kong people often say about the wind immediately.
Such a powerful lace news suddenly detonated all over Hong Kong.
Bruce Lee was the most famous screen hero of that era, and Ding Pei, who killed Bruce Lee, naturally became the target of public criticism.
Viewers who loved Bruce Lee scolded her for "no face."
Despite all her explanations, she and Bruce Lee were innocent, but no one listened.
All the ugly words you can imagine poured out on this woman.
People blamed her for taking away their hero, though they were also keen on the hero's death enough to be peachy.
So the streets and alleys are full of lace news of Bruce Lee and Ding Pei.
Ding Pei was angry, unwilling, and helpless.
But no one noticed the woman's innocence, and no one cared about her cries.
Even though nearly fifty years have passed, people always say that she is the "fox spirit who killed Bruce Lee"!
At noon that day, before Bruce Lee left home, he told Linda that he was going to discuss the script of "Game of Death" with Zou Wenhuai. Along with the second 007 actor, George Razambe.
Linda went out shopping with her girlfriend that day, and in recent days Bruce Lee often had meetings with Zou Wenhuai, so she didn't care, but in the evening, Linda, who had just returned home, received a call from Zou Wenhuai:
You hurry to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where the little dragon is now sent.
However, in Zou Wenhuai's phone call, he concealed the fact that Bruce Lee was taken to the hospital from Ding Pei's home.
By the time Linda rushed to the hospital, she arrived 15 minutes earlier than the ambulance.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the ambulance arrived at the hospital, and then the doctor began to treat Bruce Lee, but he had no signs of life, and the rescue was naturally ineffective.
At 11:50 p.m., Dr. Mak Hai-hsiung, who was in charge of the rescue, announced Bruce Lee's death to Bruce Lee's family.
Linda, who had been anxiously waiting at the door, couldn't help but cry bitterly, and she later wrote in her memories:
"The doctors left Xiaolong, and I stayed by his side, and that's when I was convinced that I really couldn't do anything... I remember Zou Wenhuai calling his wife and asking her to come here to pick us up. I remember the head of the medical team coming up to me and asking if I needed an autopsy and an autopsy report, 'Yeah, I want to know what his cause of death was.' 'I remember a flood of journalists and photographers pouring into the hospital, and the flashes came on..."
Compared to Linda's heartbreak, Ding Pei, who was waiting at home, was impatient.
Although she had long known that Bruce Lee had no breath, she did not wait for the news of the hospital to confirm the death, and her heart still held the hope that the doctor could return to heaven.
But then, Zou Wenhuai's phone finally came — Bruce Lee, who had just passed the age of establishment, confirmed that he had died.
The phone suddenly fell from his hand, although Ding Pei was 26 years old, but in 26 years, he had a smooth sailing, and he had encountered such a big thing.
She felt a dark cloud quickly envelop her, what should she do, what should she do?
She picked up the phone again and asked Zou Wenhuai for help. However, Zou Wenhuai told her that she absolutely could not tell the fact that the accident occurred at her house, and must insist that "the place of the accident was Bruce Lee's house."
After all, "Bruce Lee died in his mistress's bed", the news is too shocking.
However, the lie was quickly punctured, because there was no unified caliber, coupled with the media from the ambulance's exit records that Bruce Lee was taken to the hospital from Ding Pei's home.
All the evidence suggests that things are not that simple.
Someone is lying.
So the day after Bruce Lee announced his death, the media began to attack: they proved from multiple angles that Zou Wenhuai and Ding Pei were lying!
Later, the official intervention also proved that Bruce Lee really died in Ding Pei's bed!
Ding Pei suddenly became the target of everyone, everyone thought that Ding Pei was the murderer of Bruce Lee, and some people even threatened to let Ding Pei pay for his life.
Ding Pei felt malice from all over the world, and the dark cloud that shrouded her did not hesitate to wrap over her head, and even sent down thunder and lightning to kill her unceasingly.
But no one knows that she is actually just an infatuated woman who falls in love with someone she shouldn't love because of her adoration.
Before meeting Bruce Lee, Ding Pei was just a carefree girl.
Not only is the family well-off, but also the origin is good.
Grandpa was once the chief of the police station in Beiping, and his uncle was the famous Zhang Xueliang.
And his father also came from an extraordinary background, and the family was a famous medical family.
With the aura of a princess on his head, Ding Pei has not been a peaceful character since he was a child.
The family wanted her to study medicine, but she did not, and went to practice dance for more than ten years.
I didn't study well, I changed more than a dozen schools, but I couldn't finish my job because of my unqualified grades.
But she didn't care about any of this, she was young, restless, beautiful, and with her famous birth, she had enough capital to squander her youth.
Later, someone introduced her to Zou Wenhuai.
Zou Wenhuai was stunned as soon as he saw her, not to mention that she looked good, this girl had an indescribable wildness, and unlike the well-behaved women of ordinary rich families, Ding Pei, who grew up willfully, had a vigorous vitality.
Zou Wen was moved.
Go to Hong Kong with me to make a movie, Zou Wenhuai and Ding Pei said.
Making a movie?
Ding Pei was stunned at once, she never wanted to be a movie star, usually she watched those star performances in the movie, could she do it?
However, Zou Wenhuai's words seemed to open a new world for her.
Maybe I can be a star too?
She has always been the character of doing what she wants, and without much hesitation, she agreed to Zou Wenhuai's invitation, went to Hong Kong, and signed a contract with Shaw.
She grew up with an American education, avant-garde and bold.
And because of her gorgeous looks, the company did not arrange for her to play the role of those ordinary bridesmaids, but asked her to take the extravagant route.
She did not hesitate to agree, untied her clothes on the screen, and played a lot of roles of dusty women.
Her graceful figure and beautiful appearance suddenly caused an uproar in that era, and people's eyes were completely attracted by this bold and beautiful woman, and Ding Pei was discussed in the streets and alleys.
Ding Pei became a hit.
She had thought that life would go on like this, as her big star, but at a party, Ding Pei met a man who changed the fate of her life, Bruce Lee.
At that time, Bruce Lee had long been famous, not only was he a well-known screen hero, but also handsome and golden-looking.
In particular, his rich knowledge and humorous and funny conversation are even more fatal attractions for a fledgling girl like Ding Pei.
But Bruce Lee also has his own unpleasantness, because he lives in the spotlight for many years, he always pays attention to his own image, not only loses the freedom to speak, but even his behavior is restricted.
In an interview, Bruce Lee even said, "I'm like a monkey in a zoo." ”
He was a hero, but he was an unfree hero, and success on the screen brought him fame, but it also made his life full of constraints, and he could no longer be himself.
However, Ding Pei appeared, and she was like a beam of light, illuminating Bruce Lee's gray life.
She saved Bruce Lee.
Although Bruce Lee's wife is an American, she has always used traditional Chinese virtue to demand of herself.
But Ding Pei is different, she is lively and cheerful, and has a boldness that Linda cannot match.
In that conservative era, she dared to wear a bikini to reveal her beautiful figure in front of the camera.
She draws wrapped dark circles and dresses up as a demon.
She wears a slip dress with black stockings on her feet, full of seductive charm.
Her presence hit Bruce Lee in the middle of her arms, and her fiery heat was exactly what Bruce Lee needed.
The two men soon became inseparable.
Ding Pei became Bruce Lee's styling consultant, helping him match his clothes and choose his hairstyle.
Externally, they all insisted that they were colleagues and friends, but the discerning people knew that Bruce Lee did like this girl.
The gossip outside was flying all over the place, but Bruce Lee didn't care at all, and he expressed his liking to Ding Pei.
Although Bruce Lee was married and had two children.
But Ding Pei still agreed without hesitation.
She said:
"People all over the world love Bruce Lee, where does a girl in my twenties choose?" Of course I will love him! ”
Ding Pei's life has changed dramatically, and she never knew that falling in love with someone would be such a wonderful feeling.
Ding Pei felt that he had changed.
She was no longer the wayward lady, she put all her sex in front of Bruce Lee.
At that time, Bruce Lee's work was very busy, and his usual contact was by telephone.
They even agreed to make a phone call every night to hear each other's voices.
But sometimes, Bruce Lee was so busy that he forgot to call.
Ding Pei would wait in front of the phone, waiting, waiting, as soon as she heard a ringing, she jumped up nervously and hurried to pick it up.
The process of waiting for the phone call was painful, but Ding Pei didn't care, and even felt that it was the happiest thing.
For Ding Pei, the happiest thing is that Bruce Lee is filming in Hong Kong, when she will dress up beautifully, wear sunglasses, and visit the class without hesitation.
Everyone in the crew knew about her relationship with Bruce Lee, but only whispered, but never asked much.
Sometimes Bruce Lee and his boss Zou Wenhuai talk about things, and Ding Pei will even follow him, like a secretary.
Their unabashed behavior naturally makes the outside newspapers write big books and say everything, but they are unified and have nothing good to say.
Bruce Lee has never had many scandals in the outside world, but the object is either a famous bridesmaid or a social celebrity.
Never a "off-star"!
How could Bruce Lee have a crush on such a woman?
Whether it's social status, or screen image, they don't have a little match.
However, feelings have never been a match, and Bruce Lee has definitely gained more than two words in Ding Pei.
Bruce Lee's daughter Li Xiangning once said in an interview:
"He was empty, and he desperately wanted a little peace of mind."
Bruce Lee was an unprecedented screen hero who, to some extent, changed the stereotype of foreigners about Chinese. But at the same time, he was also in a position of extreme loneliness, he was like a flat boat in a storm, swinging left and right, not knowing where to dock.
But the appearance of Ding Pei just filled this gap, she became Bruce Lee's harbor, she alleviated his loneliness to a certain extent.
She filled Bruce Lee's emptiness with her fiery enthusiasm.
It gave him a brief moment of tranquility.
And what Ding Pei gained in Bruce Lee was by no means a simple fame.
After getting close to Bruce Lee, she discovered that Bruce Lee had a deep knowledge in addition to the explosive hormones.
He was a highly qualified student in the philosophy department, and he described kung fu as a philosophy.
He said kung fu is like water, where you put it, it can become into any shape.
This philosophical concept of his profoundly affected Ding Pei to a certain extent, and even saved her life later!
In 1973, "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" was about to be released, and Bruce Lee was constantly preparing his new script" "Game of Death".
He and Zou Wenhuai discussed that he would add a role to Ding Pei in the movie.
So in the evening, they came to Ding Pei's house together to discuss the script.
After Zou Wenhuai left, Bruce Lee suddenly said that his head was very painful, so Ding Pei took the spare painkiller that had been available for a long time.
After Bruce Lee finished eating, he lay down on Ding Pei's bed and rested.
That night, Bruce Lee had other dates.
But after three hours, Bruce Lee still did not get up.
Ding Pei hurried to call him, but there was no response.
So the tragedy, as if it had been written long ago, became a foregone conclusion.
Ding Pei became the bad woman who killed Bruce Lee, and even though she tried to explain, no one listened, no one believed.
Some forced her to jump off the building, and some even threatened to take her life.
The pressure was too great, she was speechless, her spirit broke down for a while, and even when questioned by the police, she spoke incoherently, like a mental disorder.
Two years later, Shaw invited her to make the autobiographical film Bruce Lee and Me, which she readily agreed to.
She wanted to return the truth.
But she was pit by Shaw, and all they wanted was a gimmick.
There are a lot of distorted facts and erotic plots in the movie, all to attract attention, and even the rumored plot of Bruce Lee eating cui love pills to death.
And in order to attract attention, Shaw also took it upon himself to change the name of the producer to Ding Pei.
This further confirms the claim that Bruce Lee died by taking cui love pills.
Public opinion suddenly put Ding Pei on the cusp of the storm again.
Two years on, she thought time could dilute everything, and she thought it was time to come out and tell the truth.
But reality gave her a slap in the face.
She collapsed, and the clouds of sorrow were so bleak that it overwhelmed her.
At one point, she even had to suck on large m to relieve stress.
This time, it was Bruce Lee who saved her.
Bruce Lee said that everything is like water, and where it is placed, it is what shape it is.
In other words, people have to be open.
She had an epiphany and turned to the Buddha.
She said:
"When a person collapses, there must be a day."
The Buddha Gate became her heaven for a while, and then a man appeared and pulled her again.
He is Xiang Huaqiang.
Xiang Huaqiang is domineering and full of manhood.
He met Ding Pei's emotional needs to a certain extent.
So in 1976, the two married and gave birth to a daughter, Xiang Yongheng.
However, because of the personality incompatibility, the two people soon divorced.
Turning back, Xiang Huaqiang married Chen Lan again, and after decades of ups and downs, he became the envy of everyone.
Chen Lan did not mind the existence of Ding Pei at all, and even Xiang Huaqiang paid alimony to Ding Pei's mother and daughter every month, and she did not care at all.
It is said that when Chen Lan met Ding Pei, he would also call the other party "sister".
The atmosphere is clear and calm.
Xiang Huaqiang had raised Ding Pei for forty years, and Chen Lan didn't say a word.
Even Ding Pei himself said:
"We are a family, and her children are my children."
Because of his support to Hua Qiang, Ding Pei had no shortage of food and clothing, and for decades, Ding Pei seemed to have lived a reclusive life in Hong Kong.
In addition to going out to study Buddhism and buying vegetables, she stayed at home. As for interviews, they are all prohibited.
Only later in 2017, she was interviewed by "Lu Yu Has a Date" with the encouragement of her daughter, and restored the truth of that year in the program.
She said she often dreamed of Bruce Lee.
She also kept Bruce Lee's relics: double-cut sticks, three-section sticks, and three pairs of trousers...
One of them was also given to Stephen Chow, who was obsessed with Bruce Lee.
She saw through everything and said:
"Bruce Lee is the one who admires me, my lover, my dearest."
It can even be joked:
"Now that anyone sleeps next to me, I'm going to see if he or she's 'byebye.'"
Looking back on the ruined second half of her life, she still thinks bruce Lee is the most important man in her life.
There is no resentment at all.
Bruce Lee once gave her a tape called "You Make Me Happy."
She ripped it down and repeatedly put it on the car to listen:
"You make me happy and glad you came into my life."
Her favorite thing is to play this song, driving through the streets of Hong Kong.
It's like, those bruce Lee springs have always been!
What exactly was the cause of Bruce Lee's death?
A few hours after Zou Wenhuai left, what happened to Ding Pei and Bruce Lee?
42 years after Bruce Lee's death, Ding Pei suddenly published a book called "Bruce Lee and My Old Time: Half a Life of Practice, A Lifetime of Remembrance", in which she detailed some of the details of that year.
Ding Pei emphasizes in the book that nothing happened to them that night.
"Xiaolong is a martial arts practitioner, he is very restrained in terms of wine color, and everything (when Bruce Lee dies) is really calm."
Ding Pei further elaborated on "calm" in a similar way to explaining:
"I was in a state of total attraction to television, and I didn't usually watch tv, but that day I was completely attracted to a boring show. Then, not knowing whether it was a show or something else, I was distracted and fell into some kind of reverie. ”
As for the controversial rumor that Bruce Lee died by taking cui love pills, she scoffed even more, expressing absurdity.
She said:
"I did give him medication, and it was Dr. Zhu Bohuai who prescribed me the painkiller ECOGESIC, a prescription drug that is much more potent than aspirin. This medicine is not a big problem for ordinary people to use one tablet, but it may have adverse effects on people with sensitive reactions. ”
She admits that the drug may cause some allergic reactions, but she says that she gave the medicine to Bruce Lee only out of good intentions, and definitely did not mean to kill him.
She said: "Who would want to kill the person they love the most? ”
But what the cause of Bruce Lee's death was, no one knows.
The explanation of "allergy-induced cerebral edema" on the autopsy report can be said to still have many doubts.
But what the truth is, for Ding Pei, may not have been important for a long time.
Because for her, Bruce Lee has long been an inseparable part of her life.
He's been there, she's loved, and that's enough.
