In recent decades Westerners are inclined to learn Chines Kung Fu, especially on Shao Lin Kung Fu. Some foreigners have travelled a thousand miles to China to learn Kung Fu in Shao Lin Temple.
Why Kung Fu has attracted so many foreigners to learn? It was promoted by Bruce Lee who was a Chinese Kung Fu man in the later stage of last century. He founded a special Kung Fu with very high speed, a speed faster than his opponent.
Bruce Lee was a Hong Kong resident, but later removed to America to teach his Kung Ku for more income.
Due to his high technique in Kung Fu, the film company in Hollywood made a television drama for him, based on the background of Kung Fu. This film got tremendous welcome by American people. He was then become an international actor.
Unfortunately, he died at his girlfriend’s home suddenly in Hong Kong People thought that he spent too much energy with his girlfriend. At that time, his age was above thirty.
But, the real situation was not so. During his practice he received serious wounds on his spine, which made him impossible to do active Kung Fu any more. He must retire from Kung Fu world. This may be the reason to cause him to die at so early an age.
