On July 20, 1973 (June 21st of the lunar calendar), the world-famous action movie star Bruce Lee passed away suddenly.

Bruce Lee, formerly known as Li Zhenfan, and his baby name was Xifeng, was born in San Francisco, California, USA. His ancestral home was Jun 'an Town, Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China. He is 173 centimeters tall and weighs 64 kilograms. He is a martial arts fighter, martial arts philosopher, famous martial arts film actor, pioneer of world martial arts reform, and the founder of Jeet Kune Do martial arts philosophy.

From 1946 to 1959, as a child film star, he starred in 18 Cantonese art films in Hong Kong, including:"Xi Lu Xiang"(1950),"The Beginning of Man"(1951),"The Lamp of the Bitter Sea"(1953),"Tears of a Mother"(1953),"The Fathers of a Father"(1953),"Thousands of Families"(1953),"Spring Dawn in a Dangerous Building"(1953),"Love" Part Two (1955),"Blood and Tears of the Lone Star"(1955),"Keeping the Cloud Opening and Seeing the Moon"(1955),"Orphan Journey"(also known as "The Suffering Girl", 1955),"Children's Debt"(1955),"Fraud and Happiness"(1955),"I knew I wouldn't marry"(1956),"Thunderstorm"(1957),"Sweet Sister"(1957) and "Lonely in the Sea"(1959). In addition, Bruce Lee loved dancing Cha-Cha and raising dogs. He was a famous "dance maniac" and won the Hong Kong Cha-Cha Invitational Championship when he was a boy.

In 1964, he was invited to perform at the Long Beach Karate Tournament in California, USA. He was appreciated by William Dozier, the producer of the TV series "Batman" and invited him to audition. On April 30, 1966, Bruce Lee signed a contract with ABC to perform the 30-episode TV series "The Green Hornet", playing the supporting role of "Kato", but could only broadcast a total of 26 episodes in one season. Later, he starred in three episodes of "Batman" as "Kato" and made cameos in "Inspector Iron" and "Here Come the Brides".

In 1971, because he could not accept just playing a "stunt man"-style role in "The Green Hornet", he decided to return to Hong Kong to star in movies, hoping to break a new world. After Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong, he collaborated with Zou Wenhuai and others to shoot five films: "Brother Tangshan","Jingwumen","The Raptors Crossing the River","Fight for the Dragon" and "The Game of Death".

On July 20, 1973, kung fu superstar Bruce Lee passed away suddenly at the age of 32. The cause of Bruce Lee's death was bizarre and became a mystery, with different opinions. On July 28, officials announced the cause of death of Bruce Lee: brain edema caused by an allergic reaction to pain medication, which led to death. This statement confuses experts in the medical community. So far, there has been no precedent in the world of deaths caused by an allergic reaction to aspirin. There were various opinions from all walks of life as to why Bruce Lee died suddenly.

Bruce Lee's funeral played one of his favorite songs,"When I Die", and Lssdjt found this song for everyone! Please enjoy it!

"When I Die" by Christine Rossetti

"When I am dead" was Bruce Lee's favorite song during his lifetime.

When I am dead

By Christina Rossetti Christina, Rossetti

When I am dead, my dearest

Sing no sad songs for me

Plant thou no roses at my head

Nor shady cypress tree or lush cypress tree

Be the green grass above me

With showers and dew drops wet

And if thou wilt, remember if thou wilt, remember me

And if thou wilt, forget if thou wilt not, forget me

I shall not see the shadows

I shall not feel the rain

I shall not hear the nightingale

Sing on, as if in pain

And dreaming throughth the dawn I am in a dream,[Today in History] In the hazy dawn

That dith not rise or not It never rises or sinks

Haply I may remember

And haphazardly may forget
