John Woo evaluated Bruce Lee like this, "Bruce Lee was the unprecedented film star in the history of Hong Kong. He represented a monument before death and a legend after death."
The "Chinese male hero" image shaped by Bruce Lee, not only inherited the Chinese traditional civilization, but at the same time injected part of the modern American spirit into the Chinese image shaped by him.
Although in the film Bruce Lee had special skills, he never took the initiative to fight. In <Chinese Mountain Big Brother>, before "Zheng Chaoan"(portrayed by Bruce Lee) left home, his mother warned him thousands of times that could not use force easily, and gave him a jade pendant to remind him restraint and tolerance. Every time before Bruce Lee acted, it would try to elaborate that the evil forces bullied the hero and his companions and relatives in the film, and then he would break out when it beyond endurance. The plot model of “oppression--- tolerance-unbearable patience" in Bruce Lee's film was repeated many times, which was a very "Chinese" way of narration."Fight" and "no fight"— the Chinese civilization paradox: on the one hand it does not advocate violence; on the other hand, it implies the meaning of fighting in the composition of Chinese character "Wu"-- fighting for justice, peace and dignity by violence. Bruce Lee’s martial arts mode that "the last straw was forced to sell", is not provocative actively, or show the force simply, but the way that uses the violence for justice and fairness, and inherits the Chinese civilization’s imagination of "martial arts" to "fighters".
