Yesterday was the 36th anniversary of the death of Bruce Lee Xiao Loong. His untimely death on 20th July 1973 shocked his fans all over the world.

Bruce Lee was a martial artist extraordinaire, philosopher, actor, director, and writer. He made five movies - The Big Boss (1971), Fist of Fury (1972), Way of the Dragon (1972), Enter the Dragon (1973) and The Game of Death (1978). I'm sure many of us have watched each of these classic films umpteen times. He was also the creator of a new martial arts style called Jeet Kune Do, and had many celebrities as his students.

In short, Bruce Lee was a cultural icon of our time. Many of us boys were fans back in the 1970s, and even today many still hold him in high esteem. (C'mon, admit it now - how many of you still have his poster on your wall or somewhere?)

He is buried at Lake View Cemetery, Seattle, USA.
