In the post-war era, it was not easy to establish oneself in a society that was experiencing rapid changes in various industries. In the early years of the Republic of China, he was a typical second-generation rich kid, born into wealth. He lived a carefree life and never had to worry about making a living before the age of forty. However, in 1950, at the age of fifty-seven, he unexpectedly had to teach martial arts to make a living in Hong Kong. This was beyond his expectations. Over the course of twenty-two years in Hong Kong, he experienced the ups and downs of life, tasting the sourness, sweetness, bitterness, saltiness, and spiciness of life, and witnessed how a brave person can be reborn from the fire. His first job was teaching Wing Chun at a hotel association. During the difficult years, the appearance of a woman from Shanghai and a chivalrous act of heroism led to an extraordinary love story of two people with a significant age difference. Both of them were wanderers in the world, supporting each other on the journey of life. Just as they were about to start a new family, they faced opposition from their disciples, which strained their relationship. After struggling hard, they lost everything overnight, and their livelihood was on the verge of collapse. At this critical moment, their love bore fruit, but whether it brought sadness or joy was uncertain. However, with the support of colleagues from the Kowloon Motor Bus Company, they were able to see a glimmer of hope in their lives. In the mid-1960s, their two sons came to Hong Kong, and in their old age, they were accompanied by their three sons. What more could they ask for as a gift from heaven? But good times don't last forever, and at this moment, their companion in adversity was taken away by cancer. Their twilight romance, which left an indelible mark on their hearts, brought forth a deeply moving story filled with both sadness and infinite sorrow. Teaching Wing Chun in Hong Kong and seeing it flourish around the world, they created the legend of Wing Chun.

Download or read book Bruce Lee The Tao of Gung Fu written by Bruce Lee and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the months leading up to his death, Bruce Lee was working on this definitive study of the Chinese martial arts--collectively known as Kung Fu or Gung Fu. This book has now been edited and is published here for the first time in its entirety. Bruce Lee totally revolutionized the practice of martial arts and brought them into the modern world--by promoting the idea that students have the right to pick and choose those techniques and training regimens which suit their own personal needs and fighting styles. He developed a new style of his own called Jeet Kune Do--combining many elements from different masters and different traditions. This was considered heretical at the time within martial arts circles, where one was expected to study with only a single master--and Lee was the first martial artist to attempt this. Today he is revered as the "father" of martial arts practice around the world--including Mixed Martial Arts. In addition to presenting the fundamental techniques, mindset and training methods of traditional Chinese martial arts, this martial art treatise explores such esoteric topics as Taoism and Zen as applied to Gung Fu, Eastern and Western fitness regimens and self-defense techniques. Also included is a Gung Fu "scrapbook" of Bruce Lee's own personal anecdotes regarding the history and traditions of the martial arts of China. After Lee's death, his manuscript was completed and edited by martial arts expert John Little in cooperation with the Bruce Lee Estate. This book features an introduction by his wife, Linda Lee Cadwell and a foreword from his close friend and student, Taky Kimura. This Bruce Lee Book is part of the Bruce Lee Library which also features: Bruce Lee: Striking Thoughts Bruce Lee: The Celebrated Life of the Golden Dragon Bruce Lee: Artist of Life Bruce Lee: Letters of the Dragon Bruce Lee: The Art of Expressing the Human Body Bruce Lee: Jeet Kune Do

Download or read book Chinese Cinema written by Jeff Kyong-McClain and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Chinese Cinema: Identity, Power, and Globalization, a variety of scholars explore the history, aesthetics, and politics of Chinese cinema as the Chinese film industry grapples with its place as the second largest film industry in the world. Exploring the various ways that Chinese cinema engages with global politics, market forces, and film cultures, this edited volume places Chinese cinema against an array of contexts informing the contours of Chinese cinema today. The book also demonstrates that Chinese cinema in the global context is informed by the intersections and tensions found in Chinese and world politics, national and international co-productions, the local and global in representing Chineseness, and the lived experiences of social and political movements versus screened politics in Chinese film culture. This work is a pioneer investigation of the topic and will inspire future research by other scholars of film studies. “This edited volume offers a much-needed account of alternative ways of envisioning Chinese cinema in the special context of China and the world. Its vigorous theoretical framework, which puts emphasis on interactions in the context of China and the world, will complement and update publications in related areas.” —Yiu-Wai Chu, The University of Hong Kong; author of Main Melody Films: Hong Kong Directors in Mainland China “Chinese Cinema: Identity, Power, and Globalization offers a collection of studies of modern Chinese films and their global connections, with a contemporary emphasis. Its authors’ insightful analyses of films—famous, obscure, and new to the twenty-first-century screen—elucidate numerous contextual factors relevant for understanding the history and aesthetics of Chinese cinemas.” —Christopher Rea, The University of British Columbia; author of Chinese Film Classics, 1922–1949
