The previous article said that the three great literary heroes of the East and the West, born in the same year (1899), the same Nobel Prize favor, and all chose to commit suicide Which three great literary heroes were born in the same year, the same Nobel Prize favor, and all chose to commit suicide, today let's talk about another strange year - 1940.
In 1940, three super celebrities with similar experiences were also born: Lei Feng in China, Bruce Lee of Chinese American descent, and John Lennon of Britain.
In the half century after the founding of the People's Republic of China, countless idols and role models emerged in China, such as Wang Jinxi, Chen Yonggui, Jiao Yulu, Zhang Haidi, Lai Ning, and so on, but the most famous idols and greatest examples are undoubtedly Lei Feng.
This originally ordinary soldier, who had neither great military merit nor prominent military ranks, relied on bits and pieces in his daily life to become the greatest example of new China, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.
Bruce Lee, who was born in the same year as him, chose a completely different path, using martial arts and movies to create a brilliant and never-extinguishing classic image, and firmly beat Chinese kung fu into the hearts of people all over the world.
If you want to choose a star in the film industry who can best represent Chinese, even though Bruce Lee has been dead for many years, no one still dares to stand up in front of him. We all regard Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Stephen Chow as our idols, and they regard Bruce Lee as their idols. The name Bruce Lee has long since become a myth, a symbol.
As far away as Britain, this year also gave birth to a glorious super idol - John Lennon.
The greatest exponent of rock history, along with his Beatles, brought people all over the world into a state of madness for the first time in history. In the world of music, he is the deserved king.
When he died, all television and radio stations in the West stopped broadcasting for ten minutes to show their silence, and even Time Magazine used "Death of Music" as its cover headline. This highest courtesy was ever received only by John Lennon.
It seems that God really loved 1940 so much that he sent down three radiant super idols at once, illuminating the Eastern and Western worlds at the same time. They seem to have appeared to change the world.
But God wasn't so generous either, and when He discovered the "mistake," he was too busy taking it back.
This is another similarity between the three super idols – all dying at their best ages, at their best.
On August 15, 1962, Lei Feng and his assistant Qiao Anshan were accidentally hit by a clothes rail in their temples when they were reversing, and unfortunately died at the age of 22.
On July 20, 1973, Bruce Lee died unexpectedly at the age of 33 at the home of actress Ding Pei. The unexpected sudden death of Bruce Lee remains a mystery to this day.
On December 8, 1980, John Lennon was shot dead by an avid fan in front of his apartment at the age of 40. It is said that this fan did not know what he had done the next day.
All three died in an inexplicable accident that could only be said to be God's arrangement.
"Someone dies, he's still alive." There may never be such three people in this world again, who are full of radiance before they are born, and who are still mentioned countless times in many years after death, and every time they are mentioned, they are full of infinite reverence and regret.
In addition, in addition to these three god-level spiritual idols, in 1940, two Nobel Prize winners were born: the French-Chinese writer Gao Xingjian, the South African writer Coucher, as well as the big mouth Bailey in the history of football, who attaches equal importance to prestige and funny, and Al Pacino, the eternal god of Acting in Hollywood...
