=**Bruce Lee's Background**=

Chinese: 李小龍 Pinyin: //Lǐ Xiăo lóng// Bruce Lee was a Chinese American and Hong Kong actors, martial arts instructor. He is considered as one of the most influential martial artists of the 20th century. Lee was born in San Francisco, California in the United States, to parents of Hong Kong heritage but raised in Hong Kong until his late teens. Upon reaching the age of 18, Lee emigrated to the United States to claim his U.S. Citizenship and receive his higher education. It was during this time he began teaching martial arts, which soon led to film and television roles. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated 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 the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and the rest of the world as well. Lee became an iconic figure known throughout the world and remains very popular among Asian audience and in particular among the Chinese, as he portrayed Chinese nationalism through his films. While Lee initially trained in Wing Chun, he later rejected well-defined martial art styles, favoring instead to utilize useful techniques from various sources in the spirit of his personal martial arts philosophy he dubbed Jeet Kune Do (The Way of the Intercepting Fist).

=Why I choosed him ?= First reason is I like action movie, and I like Kung fu. Second reason is his glory to the Chinese people. And he was the first movie star to foreigners accepted. Last reason is he told me the story of the learning needs of efforts. I believe I introduced him to my classmates will be inspired them. =Comments= Bruce Lee took flight, and rose above all, he changed game, and became a legend. Bruce lee's entire life was kung-fu, he would practise kung fu for hours everyday. This is one of the reasons why i think Bruce Lee is a ground breaker, he became one of the first chinese guy to ever become a famous person in America. This was a very proud thing for the chinese people because Bruce Lee showed the entire world thorugh his action movies that a chinese man can be just as good as any other man. I also really respect Bruce Lee because he never gave up on things and when he got very badly injured from practising kung fu, he never gave up and now became the greatest martial artist of all times.

=Personal Reflection= Bruce Lee also made me think that i should never give up on things and to always practise as hard as i can and maybe someday i can also become a ground breaker like Bruce Lee. He also made me think to never let anyone look down on me for who i am, and to work even harder to earn respect, just like what Bruce Lee did when he first went to America. He also made me realize that although i am not the smartest or the strongest person in the work, if i work hard and go after what i really like, someday i can also become a great person and achieve alot of amazing things. =Evaluation= Student (Self) Evaluation At the end of the project, students must assess their own work and post results in the DISCUSSION section. 23/25 = Part 1 = Information and bibliography 22/25 = Part 2 = Contributions and Comments 23/25 = Part 3 = Personal Reflections 25/25 = Layout, appearance and design 93/100 = OVERALL MARK
