In the passionate year of '72, just as the internationally acclaimed kung fu giant Bruce Lee's career was reaching its peak, he met the beautiful actress Ding Pei, all on the busy set of the movie "Game of Death" - the first time they met each other.
At that time, Ding Pei had already made a name for himself in the entertainment industry with his gorgeous appearance and superb and delicate acting skills, and starred in many well-received film and television works one after another.
Although Bruce Lee is already famous, he still can't resist Ding Pei's elegant and unique temperament and graceful figure.
The two interacted frequently between the tense and busy shooting, and gradually rubbed a spark of love.
However, just as Ding Pei's career was in full swing, Bruce Lee's private life was in trouble. As the most influential martial arts superstar in the world at the time, Bruce Lee suffered severe racial discrimination in Hollywood, and it was difficult to get the desired role.
Coupled with the fact that his marriage with his wife Linda is not optimistic, the two often have contradictions, in this context, Bruce Lee resolutely chose to leave the United States and return to Hong Kong to seek new development opportunities At this special moment, the encounter between Bruce Lee and Ding Pei seems to be the arrangement of fate.
The moment they met for the first time, they were deeply attracted by each other's charm. Ding Pei deeply admired Bruce Lee's outstanding martial arts talent and superb acting skills, and Bruce Lee was also fascinated by Ding Pei's charming charm.
Soon after, their relationship quickly warmed up to a state of indescribable intimacy. According to rumors, they often go to the set together, and some people have even witnessed them hugging each other affectionately in the car.
The incident sparked heated attention in the Hong Kong media, but Bruce Lee and Ding Pei remained silent and did not give any response.
In March 1973, the married Bruce Lee suddenly expressed his deep feelings to Ding Pei at her birthday party, which attracted everyone's attention.
Although this act has caused many controversies, Ding Pei has made no secret of his true feelings.
She confessed that she had fallen deeply in love with the martial arts master. This sensational incident has made the relationship between Bruce Lee and Ding Pei more and more confusing, and people have speculated about the real relationship between them.
On November 27, 1940, Bruce Lee was born in the bustling San Francisco Hospital in the United States. Although he was born in a foreign country, Bruce Lee's parents were Chinese children who had practiced martial arts for generations, especially his father Li Haiquan, who was one of the "Four Famous Uglies of Cantonese Opera" who enjoyed a high reputation in the forties of the last century.
Under the careful guidance of his parents, at the age of only three months, Bruce Lee made his debut on the screen and started a legendary journey as a child star!
Looking back on that moment in May 1941, Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong with his parents, and with his outstanding talent and diligent study attitude, he quickly rose to prominence in the film industry and became famous.
However, this also caused him to gradually become bored with his studies and frequently skip classes and leave school.
In the eyes of many teachers, Bruce Lee is undoubtedly a troublesome child, and he has become more and more self-absorbed due to his lack of restraint. It was not until 1953 that Bruce Lee, who was full of enthusiasm for martial arts, was fortunate to worship under the disciple of Ip Man, the grandmaster of Wing Chun, under the recommendation of Cheung Cheuk-hing, and began to receive the edification and baptism of orthodox martial arts.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, in 1956, Bruce Lee, who was in the second year of junior high school at the time, was ordered to drop out of school because of a conflict with his British classmates, and had no choice but to transfer to St. Francis College to continue his studies.
However, instead of hindering Bruce Lee's growth path, this incident became an important turning point in his life.
At St. Francis of Assy, he became acquainted with a discerning physical education teacher, Brother Edward. Far from being alienated by his aggressive behavior, the monk actively encouraged him to participate in regular boxing matches.
Under the monk's patient teaching, Bruce Lee successfully achieved a magnificent transformation from a "problem boy" to an excellent boxer.
His profound martial arts skills and the careful cultivation of Brother Edward made him invincible in the boxing ring and became famous for a while.
In May 1958, Bruce Lee had to go to the boxing ring because of an argument with an opponent who practiced Cai Li Buddha Boxing. In that fierce competition, Bruce Lee unfortunately injured the other party by mistake.
Although this is just a common accident in boxing matches, the parents of the injured are not willing to let go of the incident easily, and they choose to call the police directly to deal with the accident, which has dealt a heavy blow to Bruce Lee's studies, but it has also become another major turning point in his life.
So, Bruce Lee resolutely gave up his studies and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cultivation of martial arts, following Ip Man to study Wing Chun.
Since then, his life has begun to enter a glorious chapter.
In 1959, Bruce Lee returned to San Francisco and began his rise in the martial arts world. In 1962, he founded the "Zhen Fan Guoshu Hall" in Seattle, USA, and for the first time showed his innovative martial art - "Jeet Kune Do" to the world, thus officially becoming one of the grandmasters of the martial arts world.
In addition to his outstanding achievements in the field of martial arts, Bruce Lee's extensive film world under the Warner Bros. banner is like a dazzling light, illuminating the entire dream stage! Since 1965, he has been among the Hollywood movie giants, and in just a blink of an eye, he ushered in the surprise "The Green Hornet", which not only won him a high reputation, but also opened a new chapter for him!
However, life is not always easy, especially in the racist American society, Bruce Lee encountered many obstacles on the road to pursuing the ideal role, which made him have the idea of returning to his homeland.
At this time, the Hong Kong film industry was in the golden age of booming, and Bruce Lee decisively signed a cooperation agreement with Chow Wenhuai, the founder of Golden Harvest Films, and returned to Hong Kong in 1971.
Just as Bruce Lee's career was in full swing, his relationship with Ding Pei was gradually heating up silently. In 1972, the two met during the filming of the movie "Game of Death" and quickly established a deep emotional bond.
Ding Pei, a woman with rich artistic talent and charming appearance, enjoys a certain popularity in the entertainment industry. She has participated in many critically acclaimed films, such as "Oyster Girl", "Dumb Girl Love" and so on.
In 1967, Ding Pei successfully signed with Shaw Brothers Pictures with his outstanding acting strength, and starred in the high-profile movie "Call Girl" in 1972.
The two gradually sparked at the filming scene and became intimate. According to eyewitnesses, they often ride in luxury sports cars together in and out of the crew, and their relationship seems to be very close.
Although Bruce Lee and Ding Pei have never publicly acknowledged their relationship, these rumors have attracted a lot of attention from the Hong Kong media.
In March 1973, a shocking news spread around the world - Bruce Lee died at Ding Pei's home.
According to the police investigation report, three people gathered at Ding Pei's house that night: Bruce Lee, Ding Pei and Zou Wenhuai, the founder of Golden Harvest Films.
The trio gathered together to discuss matters related to the new drama "Game of Death".
In the course of the heated discussion at that time, Bruce Lee suddenly felt a severe headache and pain, and had no choice but to go to the bedroom of his best friend Ms. Ding Pei to rest for a while.
However, this brief break turned out to be a permanent farewell.
In her autobiography, which she wrote herself, Ding Pei painted in detail about that heartbreaking night. It turned out that Bruce Lee suffered a serious sudden illness in the bedroom, and although he had taken painkillers, he still could not be effectively relieved.
When everyone launched a rescue operation in horror, Bruce Lee unfortunately left this world.
This sudden tragedy not only left Ding Pei grief-stricken, but also caused Bruce Lee's wife Linda and their children to suffer a heavy blow.
However, what is puzzling is that media reports at the time pointed out that Bruce Lee's family was in Seattle, USA, and it seemed that they could not rush to the hospital immediately.
This has undoubtedly aroused widespread speculation and doubts among the public.
Ding Pei once firmly denied the claim that Bruce Lee was taken to the hospital from her home in front of the media, and she seemed to be covering up some facts.
It wasn't until the police released the results of the investigation that it was learned that Bruce Lee's sudden illness caused him to have an allergic reaction to the drug, which eventually led to the tragedy.
Just when Bruce Lee's career was in full swing, this sudden bad news shocked the world. On July 21, 1973, the legend of the martial arts world died tragically at Ding Pei's home, causing widespread attention around the world.
Hong Kong media at the time reported that Bruce Lee was treated at home for a sudden illness at 23:20 the night before, and was then rushed to the hospital by his wife Linda for rescue, but he was unable to return to heaven after all.
This undoubtedly puzzled many people, because Linda and Bruce Lee's children were in Seattle at the time, how could Bruce Lee be sent to the hospital in such a short period of time? Obviously, there are many doubts in the Hong Kong media reports, and the truth has not yet fully surfaced.
At a time when the entire Hong Kong society was in an uproar, after an in-depth and meticulous investigation by the police, the truth of this bizarre incident was finally revealed.
It turned out that at 10:30 p.m. on July 20, 1973, an emergency call came from a residence on Beacon Hill Road, Hong Kong.
And the owner of this residence is none other than Ding Pei.
This jaw-dropping and astonishing discovery pointed the finger at Ding Pei in an instant! Many suspicious eyes were cast on this corner, why did Bruce Lee's life end in Ding Pei's residence in such an unexpected and mysterious way? What kind of indescribable connection did there be between the two of them? Why did Ding Pei resolutely deny that Bruce Lee had been rushed to the hospital from his home for treatment when questioned by the public? At this time, all kinds of signs made those hidden secrets hidden in the shadows gradually surface.
In the face of the continuous pressure of the media and the widespread attention of all walks of life, Ding Pei, who has always maintained a low-key style, has no way back. In front of the media, she insisted that Bruce Lee was not sent to the hospital from her home, and her firm attitude seemed to hide important secrets.
Until the moment when the police announced the results of the investigation, everyone was shocked - it turned out that Bruce Lee died unfortunately because of a drug allergic reaction caused by a sudden illness It turned out that night, the three of them were discussing the new drama "Game of Death" in Ding Pei's residence, who would have thought that Bruce Lee suddenly felt a severe headache, so he had to temporarily leave the living room and enter the bedroom to rest.
However, this short break turned out to be a permanent farewell, leaving Ding Pei devastated. Since Bruce Lee's death, Ding Pei has been mired in endless controversy and blame.
Many blamed the martial arts superstar for her misfortune, accusing her of concealing the truth, and Ding Pei had to endure a lot of pressure and accusations, which undoubtedly made her suffer.
It wasn't until forty-two years had passed that Ding Pei finally revealed the truth of that night to the world in his autobiography "Bruce Lee and My Old Times: Half a Life's Practice, a Lifetime of Remembrance".
She candidly recounted her past with Bruce Lee, and re-presented Ding Pei's self-account on that unfortunate night, not only clearing her grievances, but also revealing to us Bruce Lee's special situation in the last moments of his life.
