I always feel honored when I go to the cemetary and see someone's grave. The cemetary is always peaceful, and you feel comforted, because loved ones are there.
Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Bruce Lee led such amazing, but short lives, it is heartbreaking that they were taken from us so soon. Bruce Lee learned Kung Fu at a very young age, and soon created his own method, jeet kune do. He took philosophy classes at the University of Washington, and then moved to California, where he prepared actors for films and directed schools that taught jeet kune do. He starred in Hong Kong films as well as films in America. He later founded Concord Films, and worked as an actor and part of the production crew on the films Return of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon.
Brandon Lee grew up in Hong Kong, and under his father's direction began training in jeet kune do at the age of two. He learned both English and Cantonese. After his father died, the eight-year old Brandon moved to the States. After graduating from high school, he began to take his martial arts training seriously, and studied acting from Emerson College in Boston and classes in New York City. After making a tv movie Kung Fu: The Movie, Brandon moved to Hong Kong and made martial arts films. This opened doors for him in Hollywood, and soon he starred in the film Rapid Fire, and began making the movie, The Crow.
Both Brandon and Bruce's deaths were from mysterious causes. There are endless rumors about how Bruce died, most claiming that he was murdered. Brandon died on the set of The Crow, from a bullet that should've been a blank. Both were young and had a wealth of acting talent and martial arts abilities. Both will always be missed. Thank you for what you have given us!
