"The shrine of the greatest martial artist Bruce LEE" and there are many more on his school of martial art, the philosophy behind, his film concepts and his person. Some commercial organizations are sponsoring such web pages 100. All these just reflect that many people browse on the Internet about Bruce LEE and there is a market for Bruce LEE products.
When Bruce LEE died, computers and telecommunications networks were not yet popular. 20-odd years on, he is unexpectedly alive in the Internet world and his charisma has stayed. One can say that his popularity in the world is eternal. His world reputation and contribution lie in exemplifying the spirit of Chinese martial art. His influence on the society of Hong Kong is that he gives incentive and encouragement to people. His impact on the film industry of Hong Kong is also far-reaching and I am speaking from the angle of film development and history.
Not only did he make breakthrough in martial art, but he also laid milestones for the film industry of Hong Kong. Before him, only one big film company had the capability to open up a film market outside Hong Kong. His films won his production company's share in the overseas market and inspired other independent production companies to join in the competition. Starting from him, the film industry developed into an industry, a professional one at that. He was the one to set the trend. Bruce LEE was born in Hong Kong. He started his film career when he was a child. With real efforts, he eventually shined on the international market and became a leading figure. He is certainly worth a memorial gallery.
As for the amended motion calling for a gallery for kungfu stars, it doesn't have focus and it belittles the significance of a memorial gallery. There is nothing better than a leading figure to promote a trade or a culture. Film archives in overseas countries collect all kinds of films and resources as well as hold large exhibitions on individual stars. For example, the Film Academy of Los Angeles staged an exhibition on the famous film director Fred Zimmerman. The Film Museum run alongside the Film Academy is divided into a wing on collections and another on film stars. Galleries in honour of film stars can be found in the James Stewart Museum of the State of Indiana, the Elvis Presley Museum in Nashville and so on. James Stewart is the personification of the ideal everyman in the hearts of the people of USA. Elvis Presley was the first person to make rock and roll music popular and accepted. It is just like Mickey Mouse as the representative of Disneyland, Michael JORDAN as that of basketball culture and Anne FRANK as that of Jewish people's fight against tyranny.
Let us look back among ourselves. TSANG Yuk-shing is representative of DAB, Martin LEE of the Democratic Party and Dr. Ronald LEUNG Ding-bong of toilet culture. People not necessarily admire a person, but rather the significance of that person. Whether it is sport or culture, fervour is brought on by one admired and respected by the public.
