"I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you're not in this world to live up to mine." Lee's Cantonese birth name was Lee Jun-fan ( 李振藩 ). The name homophonically means "return again" Lee had three other Chinese names: Li Yuanxin ( 李源鑫 ), a family/clan name; Li Yuanjian ( 李元鑒 ), as a student name while he was attending La Salle College, and his Chinese screen name Li Xiaolong ( 李小龍 ; Xiaolong means "little dragon").

Lee began teaching martial arts in the United States in 1959. He called what he taught Jun Fan Gung Fu (literally Bruce Lee's Kung Fu). At the age of 3 months, Bruce Lee made his screen debut in the film “Golden Gate Girl” Most successful movies: “The Big Boss Cheng Chao- an”, “Way of the Dragon”, “Enter the Dragon”, “Game of Death”. "Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it"

On 20 July 1973 Lee died from a hypersensitivity to the muscle relaxant (meprobamate) in Equagesic, which he described as a common ingredient in painkillers “ I always learn something, and that is: to always be yourself. And to express yourself, to have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate him"

"Be formless... shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You pour water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put water into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow, or creep or drip or crash! Be water, my friend” There’re two most popular conspiracy theories : Bruce Lee was killed by a "death touch": Quite simply, this scenario suggests that Bruce Lee was felled by a single fatal martial arts blow. It was punishment for Bruce teaching Eastern martial arts secrets to Westerners

Bruce Lee was killed by Triads: This theory has its variations but one in particular claims that Bruce Lee was poisoned for refusing to go along with the business ventures of Triad members. Proponents claim that the Triads have always been major players in the Hong Kong movie market and anyone refusing to go along with their financial schemes was simply eliminated.
