Bruce Lee's daughter XiangNing: Lost her father at the age of 4 and lost her brother at the age of 24, and has been fighting lawsuits for many years to maintain her father's image - Introduction.
In late March, Bruce Lee's daughter, Li Xiangning, posted a photo of three generations of grandchildren and an old photo of her parents on social media to celebrate the birthday of her mother, Bruce Lee's widow, Linda Emory.
Li Xiangning's mother, Linda, is 75 years old this year, and even Li Xiangning herself is 51 years old this year. Can't help but feel that time has passed so fast, a generation of kung fu superstar Bruce Lee has left us for 48 years.
Bruce Lee and Linda married in 1964, and after that, they gave birth to a son and a daughter, and life was also happy. But life is full of uncertainty, a sudden accident, breaking the family's warm life.
In 1973, Bruce Lee died unexpectedly, about the cause of death, the outside world is controversial, the hospital gave the official statement is "cerebral edema", the real cause, we still can not know. The widow of his wife and the loss of his father to his children, whose untimely death brought heavy grief to the family.
When Bruce Lee died, his son Li Guohao was only eight years old, and because he had been practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child, he decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a kung fu superstar.
After that, Li Guohao was nominated for the best newcomer at the 6th China Hong Kong Film Awards for the film "The Dragon in the Jianghu".
Only later, jealous of talent, Li Guohao was mistakenly killed by a prop gun in the process of shooting a movie. The child, whom Bruce Lee had high hopes for, ended up dying as young as he did.
At this point, Bruce Lee's bloodline was only his youngest daughter Li Xiangning. Since Bruce Lee's death, Linda has lived through two marriages with her children.
On the occasion of her birthday, the daughter posted old photos of her mother and Bruce Lee, and it can be seen that the status of the biological father is not replaced by anyone.
Although Bruce Lee was only four years old when he died, his impression of his father can only be found in some extant images. But her admiration for her father was always there, and she made no secret of it, and she made it public in her speech that Bruce Lee was her hero.
Li Xiangning could have been a carefree little princess, but her father and brother have passed away one after another, and she has to take on her responsibilities, and she also hopes to inherit the legacy of her father and brother and become a martial arts star.
To this end, she looked for a master to practice martial arts, even if she was scarred, she did not want to give up, the most serious one was too strong, so that a fracture occurred, lying in bed for half a month to recover.
With a belief in winning glory for the family, Li Xiangning began to contact the big screen.
In 1998, she participated in the movie "Full of Guts", in which he played a female rogue, the martial arts movements are clean and neat, showing the momentum of not letting the eyebrows be shaved, and this movie also made many people remember her name.
But then she did not continue to star in the work, but moved behind the scenes, responsible for Bruce Lee's image promotion and fund business. Best known for her and Quentin Tarantino's controversy over Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Mainly because Quentin's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" portrayed Bruce Lee as an arrogant and arrogant person, and did not communicate with Li Xiangning before filming, it caused her strong dissatisfaction.
In Li Xiangning's heart, her father is great and hardworking, and she can't stand being pointed at Bruce Lee and deliberately smeared. The consequence of this controversy is that the film does not have the opportunity to meet with domestic audiences in the end.
To this day, Li Xiangning is still running to maintain his father's personal image. Legally, everything about Bruce Lee belongs to Li Xiangning's mother and daughter, so she has the right and obligation to be responsible for the image of her father.
Because Bruce Lee's fame in the world is too great, there are often some merchants who use his portrait, so in recent years, Li Xiangning has also been in a state of litigation.
When Li Xiangning was sorting out his father's relics, he found some script manuscripts, which recorded some of Bruce Lee's ideas about the film.
In order to fulfill her father's last wishes, she sorted out the manuscript, perfected it, asked the director of "Fast and Furious" to participate in the shooting, and finally presented an action drama "Warrior" to everyone, which won high praise.
In addition, Bruce Lee has penetrated almost every aspect of her life, taking selfies in clothes printed with a portrait of Li Xiaolongtou, and opening a channel dedicated to telling Bruce Lee's story on social platforms.
She has been using her own way to promote the spirit of her father.
Today, Li Xiangning runs a fitness equipment company, mainly involving boxing sanda equipment, and is still working hard to promote Chinese kung fu and maintain the image of his father.
