Hong Kong: Bruce LeeMemorabilia

Hong Kong's Most Famous Son - Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun-fan; 27 November 1940 –20 July 1973) was a Chinese American and HongKong actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, filmdirector, film producer, screenwriter, and founder ofthe Jeet Kune Do martial arts movement. He iswidely considered by many commentators, critics,media and other martial artists to be the mostinfluential martial artist of modern times, and acultural icon.

Lee was born in San Francisco to parents of HongKong heritage, but was raised in Hong Kong until hislate teens. Lee emigrated to the United States at theage of 18 to claim his U.S. citizenship and receive his higher education. It was during this time that hebegan teaching martial arts, which soon led to filmand television roles.

His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced filmselevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, and sparked a

major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in theWest in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his filmschanged and influenced martial arts and martial artsfilms in Hong Kong and the rest of the world, as well.He is noted for his roles in five feature-length films:Lo Wei’s The Big Boss (1971) and Fist of Fury(1972); Way of the Dragon (1972), directed andwritten by Lee; Warner Brothers’ Enter the Dragon(1973), directed by Robert Clouse: and The Game ofDeath (1978), directed by Robert Clouse.

Lee became an iconic figure known throughout theworld, particularly among the Chinese, as heportrayed Chinese Nationalism in his films. Heinitially trained in Wing Chun, but he later rejectedwell-defined martial art styles, favoring instead toutilize useful techniques from various sources in thespirit of his personal martial arts philosophy, whichhe dubbed Jeet Kune Do ("The Way of theIntercepting Fist").

An announcement was made that Bruce Lee’s HongKong residence has been acquired by cityauthorities to install a museum, located in KowloonTong at 41 Cumberland Road, the 5,700 footmansion was where the star spent the last years ofhis life.

We are most honored to offer the following thirteen(13) original items from various elements of Bruce’slife including two extraordinary items: a long handwritten letter, probably one of the most importantcontextually relating to his impact and legacyprovided to martial arts and film making and a longChinese-style fur lined coat that he wore at a photosession prior to his untimely death. The other itemsincluding name cards, and an annotated book are alltestaments of his life and accomplishments. Wetruly hope that you will enjoy and embrace theseitems with as much enthusiasm and care that wehave had in presenting them to you.

The exhibit traces the chronological development of the air mails from the early commercial flights to the advent of zone rates introduced in late 1948.During 1919 and 1920 only one-off trial or demonstration flights wereundertaken ans as such are outside the scope of this exhibit, however, three of these pioneer flights are illustrated in the display as forerunners. In early 1921 two regular internal airmail routes were established, but operationsceased in July of that year when the Postal Authorities deemed them to be uneconomical. Thus from mid1921until early 1929, no commercial internal air mail services were available. Similarly, the first trulycommercial air mail connecting New Zealand to the outside world was noy until 1937, prior to this all overseas airmail was transported to either Australia or North America by sea for onward air transportation. The chronology is broken with the "Horseshoe Route" which commenced in June 1940 and is shown together forcompleteness. The display shows the growth in the use of mail carried by air, the routes that were developed,the rate structures that evolved and other outside influences which dictated the development of the domestic andexternal air mail services as known today. Interest is added with correspondence during periods of nationaldisasters such as earthquakes, floods and similar emergencies, together with instructional, official postaldocuments, markings including "Jusqu'a" and other handstruck cachets, manuscript markings andsuperscriptions. Much of the detailed information, some of it unpublished to date, is the direct result ofpersonal and active ongoing research by the exhibitor.
