Hong Kong will kick-off the 40th anniversary of kung fu legend Bruce Lee’s death on July 20 with a permanent exhibition at the Heritage Museum to honour Hong Kong’s favorite son.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition entitled “Bruce Lee: Kung Fu. Art. Life.”, is a multi-faceted tribute to the late martial arts star<\/strong> whose lightning fast moves and powerful kicks got a whole generation hooked on ‘kung fu fighting’.<\/p>\n

The exhibition boasts over 600 items from collections around the world.<\/strong> The majority of the items are on loan from the Bruce Lee Foundation which is run by his daughter Shannon Lee.<\/p>\n

“I’m hoping people will come because they love Bruce Lee. When they leave, they will leave with a bigger experience of who he was as a man,” said Lee, the chairwoman of the Bruce Lee Foundation.<\/p>\n

Among the exhibits are his iconic yellow tracksuit from the movie ‘ Game of Death’ and props like the deadly nunchuks that Bruce is closely associated with.<\/p>\n

Also on display is a notebook that reveals a lighter side of Lee.<\/p>\n

The kung fu star, who won the Hong Kong Cha Cha Championship in 1958, kept a notebook featuring 108 different cha cha dance steps.<\/p>\n

The exhibition also recreates scenes from Lee’s movies, his gym and his study.<\/p>\n

In Hong Kong, Bruce Lee stands taller than all the martial arts stars that the city has produced.<\/strong> Born in America but raised in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee died aged 32 from a severe reaction to pain medication, just before he shot to international stardom with his film ‘Enter the Dragon’.<\/p>\n

His small canon of films, mostly shot in Hong Kong, raised the profile of the city.<\/p>\n
