Hi, hello, I'm Wu Que.
Speaking of Bruce Lee, it can be said that everyone knows everyone.
Someone said, "Without Bruce Lee, there would be no Chinese Kung Fu today." ”
When I thought about it, I found that this was indeed the case.
I don't know if you found it, we are so familiar with Bruce Lee, whether it is his work or his personality, but we know nothing about his family background.
In Bruce Lee: Myth and Truth, it took matthew Polly nearly a decade and more than a hundred personal interviews to write this bruce Lee biography.
Bruce Lee's father, Li Haiquan, was born into a poor family in a suburb of Foshan, Guangdong Province, and his mother, He Aiyu, was a member of Sir Ho Tung's Eurasian mixed-race family, which was equivalent to the Rockefeller and Kennedy families in Hong Kong.
What kind of family, what kind of growing environment can raise children like Bruce Lee?
Let's learn about Bruce Lee's family story together, let's get a more comprehensive understanding of Bruce Lee from this book:Myth and Truth.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" >01 Life is hard, but it is good to get through</h1>
Born in Jiangwei Town, Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, Li Haiquan is the fourth child in a family of six children.
Growing up in a difficult family environment, his father, Li Zhenbiao, who was also Bruce Lee's grandfather, was unable to make a sound due to a serious illness when he was a child.
Even so, in order to support the family, in addition to being a fisherman, he took his children to fish with him, and also worked part-time as a dart master.
As the saying goes, the children of poor families are already in charge.
In order to reduce his father's family burden, Li Haiquan often wore an old shirt handed down from his three brothers at a young age, stood in front of a restaurant with a tin roof and sang a small song in Cantonese, attracting people passing by to eat in the store.
It was precisely because of his funny, humorous, and slightly sarcastic little song that it attracted the attention of a Famous Cantonese opera corner passing by a restaurant.
Soon, he was given the opportunity to become the famous apprentice.
This is great news for the Li family, not only because the fourth son, Li Haiquan, has a bright future, but also because Li Haiquan left home for further study, which can reduce the burden on the family.
Li Haiquan, who left home early, lived a day of rehearsal and study from morning to night, and every day in addition to acting, singing, acrobatics, or kung fu training, it was very hard.
After many Chinese New Year's Eve of study, Li Haiquan's clown who was good at finally survived, and he became a senior actor in a troupe in Foshan.
Xu is acting has reached the ceiling, unable to satisfy his desire to progress, or want to make his family live a better life, in 1928, he took several brothers with the troupe to Hong Kong to develop.
In order for the brothers to gain a foothold here, he found waiters and handymen for them in restaurants, and in his free time performing, he worked with them to support his acting career.
In the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", there is a line that says:
"There is no true happiness without experiencing suffering, and before redemption, we must first endure the torment of suffering."
True.
Life is short, we will always encounter such and such difficulties, but please believe, as long as you get through it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="123" >02 There is always someone who loves you regardless of your terms</h1>
Love, sometimes really wonderful, the more you wait, the more you can't wait, it will always appear inadvertently, when you are not paying attention.
For Bruce Lee's father and mother, that was the case.
Through the efforts of everyone, Li Haiquan's troupe became famous, and more and more rich people invited them to perform.
Among them was Bruce Lee's maternal grandfather, Sir Ho Tung.
On that day, Li Haiquan went to the agreed place to perform with all the performing partners as usual.
Bruce Lee's mother, Ho Ai-yu, was extremely interested in the performance and watched it together.
It is this performance that makes a pair of bi people know, fall in love, and intersect.
In that era, the marriage of children was handled by their parents, but when he saw 13 women fighting for the wind and jealousy since he was a child, just to win the love of his father, He Aiyu secretly resolved to be different from these women.
Therefore, despite the opposition of the entire family and the worldly vision, she resolutely married an actor who was still fighting for her livelihood and could not see the future.
Since then, He Aiyu has completely bid farewell to the past days of worry-free food and clothing, and spent the second half of his life hand in hand with his beloved.
Zhang Ailing once said:
"No matter how bad your conditions are, there will always be someone who loves you. No matter how good your conditions are, there will always be someone who doesn't love you. ”
The person who truly loves you will not dislike your inner conditions, nor will he dislike your external conditions, because in his eyes, you are the most perfect.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="126" >03What kind of mentality you have, what kind of life you have</h1>
From ancient times to the present, many rich women have married poor children, but the endings are not the same.
Some people, for the sake of love and family, have lived a different life, but their love has been worn away by the current chai rice oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, and they have begun to regret their original righteousness.
Some people, although they have lived a completely different life, live a life of stretching every day, but they have no regrets, and they spend the rest of their lives without worry with their loved ones.
He Aiyu and Li Haiquan are the latter.
After marriage, He Aiyu, even if her life was bitter and tired, did not regret her choice when she was young.
While she was diligent and thrifty in maintaining the family and taking care of the children, she served Li Haiquan's family without complaint.
Feng Zikai once said:
"Since there is nowhere to escape, it is better to rejoice; since there is no pure land, it is better to meditate; since there is no wish, it is better to be relieved."
Deeply.
Since you have chosen your current life, don't complain, don't regret it, because regret and complaining are useless, you will only let yourself fall into an unsatisfactory life, and the days will only get more and more difficult.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="128" >04 Everything in the world is doomed</h1>
Bruce Lee became an actor, perhaps by fate.
When he was a baby, his father, Li Haiquan, met a female director, Wu Jinxia, who just needed a newborn child as an actress.
How bitter the actor's life is, Li Haiquan has already tasted it all.
At first, Li Haiquan did not want his children to experience the life of an actor too early, but forced by friendship, Li Haiquan still agreed.
Bruce Lee began to face the camera before he learned to crawl, starting his first performance.
Many things in life are actually destined in the dark.
Although Bruce Lee left us at the peak of his acting career, his acting spirit will not be forgotten with the passage of time.
