1972, married Bruce Lee fell in love with actress Ding Pei at first sight. Did he regret it?

1972 On March 2 1 day, Bruce Lee met actress Ding Pei in Hugo Restaurant of Hyatt Regency. I don't know if it was meant to be, but they fell in love at first sight and collided with each other.

But no one expected that a year later, Bruce Lee would die in Ding Pei's bed.

This world-renowned and irreplaceable kung fu superstar has a colorful love life. Ding Pei was not his first lover after marriage, and two other actresses in Hollywood had an affair with him.

In Bruce Lee: Myth and Reality, Bruce Lee's growth story and several little-known emotional secrets are revealed in detail for the first time. Let's go and have a look.

1940165438+1October 27th is a particularly unforgettable day for Li Haiquan, a troupe actor who is touring the United States. It is considered a very auspicious sign that his wife gave birth to a son in the Year of the Loong.

People around congratulated Li Haiquan, saying that the child would succeed in the future.

And I like this son very much and named him Li. The word "town" came from Chen-Piao Li, my father, and was later changed to Li, because I thought his father's life was hard and the word "town" was unlucky.

The word "San Francisco" comes from San Francisco, the birthplace of my son, which is now San Francisco. The name Li adds a lofty meaning to San Francisco. Li Haiquan couple where know, son more than a sublime San Francisco, can be said to be a sublime world.

When his son Li was born two months ago, he lent his son to female directors and made a cross-dressing of a baby girl in his movie Golden Gate Girl, which made Li have an indissoluble bond with the entertainment circle.

1941April 6, Li returned to Hong Kong by boat with his parents, and his childhood began here.

Because the eldest son died, the couple were very nervous about Li. He Ai Yu almost never leaves, holding his son in his hand to take care of him. Before the age of 4, Li was in poor health.

After the age of 4, my health gradually improved, and I became more and more active, even a little hyperactive. I jumped up and down all day and couldn't calm down at all.

Later, his mother found that comic books could calm her son down, so she bought many comic books for him to read. As a result, Li was addicted to comic books and neglected to protect his eyesight. At the age of six, he had to wear short-sighted glasses.

Also in this year, 6-year-old Li followed his father to the set and was taken by the director. He played a role in the movie A Life, which should be regarded as his first real movie.

Because of his father, Li appeared in some movies one after another. His father gave him a stage name, Xiao Haiquan, which was later changed to a new one.

1950, Li ordered his famous film The Journey to the West, in which the name was activated. Later, in the film The Beginning of Life, Li changed her stage name to Bruce Lee again.

Initially, the film Xi Lu Xiang was the first important breakthrough of Bruce Lee's acting career.

This film has a good box office reputation, and Bruce Lee has a breakthrough performance in the film. However, in life, he was punished by his father for fighting because of his poor grades, and was forbidden to take on new plays.

Just as the flame was lit, it was doused by a basin of cold water.

However, the performance ban did not work for Bruce Lee at that time. At school, he is the student with the lowest score. Not only that, he also set up gangs for the purpose of promoting good and punishing evil and protecting the weak.

Two years later, my father Li Haiquan had to admit defeat and agreed to let his son Bruce Lee come back to make a film.

Although he was a bad student at school, Bruce Lee became a dedicated actor on the set, and his performance was no worse than that of an adult actor. From 1953 to 1955, Bruce Lee made 10 movies in just two years.

However, outside of filming, Bruce Lee went his own way, which led to his expulsion from La Salle College on 1956.

Later, his mother sent him to the provincial self-defense college.

1955 15-year-old Bruce Lee was introduced to Ye Wen by Zhang Zhuoqing, and his disciples gave him the impression that he was rude, intelligent, aggressive and aggressive.

But Bruce Lee really likes boxing. Huang Chunliang, his brother, said that Bruce Lee not only persisted in completing training tasks every day, but also reflected on what he had practiced after practice.

His first love was a child star, whose real name was Liang, who grew up with him. Wen Lan also comes from a performing arts family. Her mother is a director and actress, her mother is a producer and her parents are friends.

Wen Lan's character is like a boy. Bruce Lee goes out to fight, and she often drives to pick him up.

However, Bruce Lee also fell in love with another girl, Priscilla Chan, who later became an actress with the stage name Yan Pak.

But in the end, it was Cao Miner who contacted Bruce Lee. She is also a child star.

Bruce Lee's mother He and Cao Miner's mother Zhu Qihua are sisters, and both families want their two children to get married.

However, things are unpredictable. 1957 After filming Funny Face, Bruce Lee's acting career was in trouble. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he faced an embarrassing period of transition from a child star to an adult actor, and never took any new plays for the next three years.

1959, Bruce Lee finally paid the price for the fight. He bullied the children of a powerful family. Under pressure, the police found Bruce Lee's parents.

For his son's future, Li Haiquan decided to send Bruce Lee to the United States.

However, before going abroad, someone found Bruce Lee and invited him to film Lonely People, which is called the Hong Kong version of the villain without cause, and Bruce Lee can be said to be the true nature of the film.

The movie's box office and reputation are good, but it can't change the situation that Bruce Lee was sent to the United States.

Before Bruce Lee went to America, his sister Li Qiufeng took him to a fortune teller. The fortune teller said, "One day he will become very rich and famous." .

Both Bruce Lee and her sister Li Qiufeng thought it would happen.

1959 On the afternoon of April 29th, Bruce Lee took his mother's 100 dollars and set foot on an ocean-going ship to the United States alone. He stayed on the ship for 18 days and finally reached his destination.

19 later, Bruce Lee returned to his birthplace. However, this time his parents didn't accompany him. Bruce Lee should learn to be self-reliant, so when he first arrived in San Francisco, he had to work as a waiter to earn money to support himself.

But he worked as a waiter for a few days and then gave up. Fortunately, he has another skill, that is, teaching people to dance cha-cha.

When school started in autumn, Bruce Lee moved to Seattle to go to school and lived with his father's friends. During that time, Bruce Lee also learned mantis boxing and eagle claw boxing from another foreign friend of his father, Yang Jiufu.

In the same year, at the Summer Ocean Festival in Seattle, Bruce Lee publicly performed Southern Mantis Boxing for the first time, which attracted the attention of African-American Jesse Glover. Jessie, who is obsessed with martial arts, pesters Bruce Lee to learn from his teacher.

A month later, Jesse's roommate, former professional boxer Ed Hart, also came to learn from the teacher. Subsequently, more and more people joined the art team, because they had no money to rent venues, and they often trained in parks, parking lots and other places.

Later, these apprentices pooled their money and rented a storefront in a dilapidated section of Chinatown as a martial arts school.

196 1 On March 27th, Bruce Lee was admitted to the University of Washington in Seattle. His grades are average, but he shows great interest in philosophy. He often forgets the time of reading.

Bruce Lee spends all his spare time attending parties, picking up girls, dancing and teaching martial arts.

A year after arriving in the United States, Bruce Lee broke up with Cao Miner, and since then, women around him have changed frequently.

When she was a freshman, Bruce Lee met Amy Sambo, a Japanese-American student. She is one year older than Bruce Lee, and Bruce Lee conquered the girl as the overbearing president.

Once, Amy Sambo had to go to class with crutches because she was injured in ballet practice. Bruce Lee kept at the stairs every time, forcibly holding Amy Sambo and climbing the stairs until her feet healed.

They dated for two years. Bruce Lee proposed to Amy Sambo, but Amy Sambo refused. She thinks that Bruce Lee can't support her and her sick mother. When Amy Sambo broke up, Bruce Lee was closed for several weeks because of her sadness.

Interestingly, when Linda, who later became Bruce Lee's wife, met Bruce Lee for the first time, Bruce Lee was holding the three treasures of Amy. On that day, Amy Sambo, who had graduated, returned to her alma mater with Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee's handsome appearance attracted Linda's attention. Linda asked her classmate Sue who he was. Sue happened to attend a kung fu class in Bruce Lee. Soon, Linda also became a student of Bruce Lee Wushu School.

During this period, Bruce Lee successively opened several martial arts schools, but they all closed down in the end.

After Bruce Lee broke up with Amy Sambo, she turned her attention to Linda, and they soon fell in love. Linda knew that her mother wouldn't allow her to date men in China. Every time she went out on a date, she tricked her mother into playing with her best friend.

It was not until July 1964 that Linda found out that she was pregnant.

When Linda found out that she was pregnant, Bruce Lee decided to leave Seattle for Oakland. But Bruce Lee still chose to marry Linda, but they knew that Linda's mother wouldn't agree to this marriage, so they decided to act first and then act.

1964 August 12, Bruce Lee took a ring borrowed from his friend Yan Jinghai's wife and went to the court with Linda to apply for a marriage certificate.

Sure enough, Linda's mother made a scene and refused to let her daughter marry a China man.

However, in the end, my mother found that she couldn't stop the marriage at all and had to agree.

/kloc-In August of 0/7, Bruce Lee and Linda got married in the church at the request of her mother-in-law.

On February 1965, Linda gave birth to her first child, son Brandon Lee.

Three days after his son was born, Bruce Lee flew to Los Angeles to audition for Chen Chali's eldest son. Unfortunately, the series was delayed again and again, and finally it was dropped.

On the seventh day after his son Brandon Lee was born, Bruce Lee's father Li Haiquan passed away. Because Linda is still in confinement and her son is too young, Bruce Lee went back to Hong Kong to attend the funeral.

1966, Bruce Lee finally got the chance to perform in Hollywood. He got the chance to play Japanese Kato in The Green Hornet, and his salary was calculated weekly at $400 per week.

This income was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Bruce Lee who was in financial difficulties at that time, but later he learned that as the second leading role, his salary was much lower than that of other white actors in the same crew because he was not white.

While filming the fifth episode of The Green Hornet, Bruce Lee met the new actor Sourdis Brandt.

Sourdis said that she and Bruce Lee fell in love at first sight and then became lovers of the cast.

However, when Sourdis learned that Bruce Lee was married and had children, he was very angry and broke up with Bruce Lee decisively.

After The Green Hornet stopped broadcasting, from 1967 to 1969, Bruce Lee participated in three series: Invincible Detective Iron, Blonde Beauty and Bride Arrival.

1969, he finally appeared in the big-screen work, the movie Scandal wyndell dichinson.

During the filming of this film, he developed a romantic relationship again and had a relationship with the married actress Sharon Farrell.

Sharon Farrell finally divorced her husband, but Bruce Lee didn't want to leave his wife and children. Finally, the sad Sharon Farrell fell into the arms of Bruce Lee's friend Steve McQueen.

1April 1969 19, Bruce Lee's wife Linda gave birth to her second child, daughter Li Xiangning.

Bruce Lee is very happy. He likes Xiao Xiangning very much.

Bruce Lee once blamed herself for accidentally cutting her daughter's little hand while cutting her nails.

197 1 year, Bruce Lee, whose career in Hollywood was frustrated, returned to Hongkong for development. His first film "Tangshan Big Brother" triggered a movie-watching craze, and the subsequent release of "Jingwumen" pushed him to the position of a kung fu giant.

1972 March 2 1 day, the day before the film Jingwumen was released, Bruce Lee celebrated his wife Linda's birthday in Hugo Restaurant of Hyatt Hotel. When he was about to leave the hotel, Ding Pei appeared.

Zou Wenhuai and Ding Pei are both in Xiao, so it is natural for them to say hello when they meet Ding Pei. Zou Wenhuai introduced Bruce Lee and Ding Pei by the way, but what he didn't know was that Ding Pei and Bruce Lee were right.

Later, Bruce Lee invited Ding Pei to meet him on the grounds that she was invited to star in his next film, The Yellow-faced Tiger.

But Ding Pei thinks that Bruce Lee doesn't want to make a movie with her, but wants to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

When Bruce Lee filmed The Raptors Crossing the River, Ding Pei often went to the set. At that time, there were rumors that Bruce Lee and Miao Kexiu were dating, but Bruce Lee insisted that they were just friends with Miao Kexiu, and Bruce Lee did not deny Ding Pei.

However, Ding Pei committed suicide because of jealousy.

Bruce Lee promised Ding Pei a role for many times, but he chose Miao Kexiu in "The Raptors Crossing the River" and Betty Chung in "enter the dragon". Ding Pei had a big fight with Bruce Lee about it.

In Bruce Lee: Myth and Reality, the author Matthew Polly said that Bruce Lee had no choice but to break up and forbade Ding Pei to go to Jiahe Studio.

As a result, heartbroken Ding Pei swallowed a lot of sleeping pills in one night. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital for treatment in time and saved his life.

Ding Pei's mother also went to Jiahe to make a scene with Bruce Lee.

Surprisingly, in June of 1973, Bruce Lee made up with Ding Pei again. A month later, at noon on July 19, Bruce Lee and Zou Wenhuai invited actress Nancy Kwan to lunch.

During the dinner, Nancy Kwan told Bruce Lee that everyone was talking about you and Ding Pei. You should think about your wife Linda. It is not easy for her to take care of two children abroad by herself.

Zou Wenhuai agreed with Nancy Kwan, but Bruce Lee was angry with Zou Wenhuai and told him to shut up.

The next day, 1 July 20th, 973, in the afternoon1,Bruce Lee drove to Ding Pei's house and wanted to have a lunch break there. Matthew Polly says in his book that Bruce Lee has something to do with Ding Pei.

Zou Wenhuai, who has been waiting for Bruce Lee to come back from the company, drove to Ding Pei's house to find someone at 6 o'clock. They made an appointment to have dinner with George Lazambi.

But at home in Ding Pei, Bruce Lee said that when he was about to leave, his headache got worse and worse.

Ding Pei gave Bruce Lee painkillers, Bruce Lee went back to the bedroom to lie down and rest, and Zou Wenhuai planned to take George Razak to the hotel restaurant first, and then come back to pick up Bruce Lee and Ding Pei.

But when he arrived at the restaurant, he called Ding Pei, and Ding Pei said that Bruce Lee was asleep.

After this sleep, he never woke up.

Matthew Polly wrote in the book that Bruce Lee once said to his wife Linda:

But he never imagined that he would die in his lover's bed.

1July 26th, 973, enter the dragon was released in Hong Kong, and1July 7th was released in the United States. The film only cost $850,000, and the global box office earned $90 million that year.

Bruce Lee has become a truly world-renowned kung fu superstar, but unfortunately, he can't see it.
