Bruce Lee, Hong Kong’s most famous son, was born in San Francisco’s Chinatown in 1940 while his parents were touring the U.S. with a Cantonese opera troupe. They soon returned to the then British colony, where Lee grew up training under Yip Man, a legendary master of the Wing Chun school of Kung Fu. At age 18 he went back to the U.S.; a decade later, he returned to Hong Kong as a world-famous actor and settled in Cumberland Road.

While Yu failed in his efforts for a Bruce Lee museum in Hong Kong, another town has been more successful: Shunde, the ancestral hometown of the Lee family two hours drive north across the border in China, features a 1.89 square kilometer Bruce Lee Paradise theme park. Xiacun village, where almost everyone’s surname is Lee, boasts a 12-meter tall statue of the legendary actor. In honor of his 65 birthday in 2005, both Hong Kong and Mostar — a city inBosnia-Herzegovina that Lee had no relation to whatsoever — unveiled life-sized Bruce Lee statues.

Before we go on to what the house is now, it’d be good to know what it looked like back then. See this YouTube clip which I believe was taken a few days after Bruce’s death.

In order to pay tribute to Bruce Lee for his contribution to the promotion of Chinese martial arts, a memorial museum was built and completed in 2002. It is located in Daliang Street, Shunde District. Since the memorial museum is situated in an inconspicuous part of the street, it is unfamiliar to the public. Therefore, a new memorial museum has been constructing since the end of 2006, which is situated in Jun’an Town, and is expected to be the largest memorial museum dedicated to the memory of Bruce Lee.
