A new exhibition in Hong Kong is paying tribute to actor Bruce Lee, 85 years after the birth of the late martial arts icon. Created by the Bruce Lee Foundation and the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, the show is on display in two mass transit railway stations in Hong Kong. Through these interactive installations and artistic displays, we hope to transform ordinary journeys into moments of inspiration. From morning commutes to evening crowds, these spaces invite travellers to pause and engage with my father's philosophy, his martial arts and his life. During the opening ceremony, Chinese action star Donnie Yen talked about his long-time admiration for Lee. When I was small, I watched Bruce Lee's movies about kung fu. I remember clearly when I was a teen boy, I used to dress up like Bruce Lee. I sewed a broomstick in half and stuck them into my socks. In the 70s, we wore socks that came up to our thighs. I was pretty naughty. I stuffed the sticks into the socks and wore some eyeglasses. I was living in the US at the time, and everyone called me Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee. And after that, certainly because of his influence, I was obsessed with the martial arts. The exhibition does not only celebrate Bruce Lee's film career, but also his relationship to philosophy and arts. Everything is a symbol. Bruce Lee is eternal. You all know he was a philosopher, a martial arts master, a creator. And he is also a cultural icon. He changed films, culture and martial arts. This is a cultural heritage and it's very meaningful to reflect this great contribution in the mass transit railway, especially for young people. Bruce Lee died in 1973 at 32 years old. He has remained a legendary martial arts figure ever since.
