Talk:Bruce Lee

Drug Abuse

Collapsed under Talk Page Guidelines. See WP:NOT

I'm not surprised that this article is locked. The Chinese tries very hard to turn this man into a "national" legend and a myth. The truth about his death has been well known to many Asians for quite some time, it was big news at the time especially in Taiwan. He was having an affair with Betty Ting Pei and doing drugs. None of this was covered up in Taiwan and other Asian sources, Betty Ting Pei became a national embarrassment overnight.

China, along with western media, tried to cover this up with misinformation and propaganda for decades, but in 2021 evidence surfaced in the form of 40 letters from Bruce Lee to his colleagues and friends about his spiral drug use. In these letters it detailed his abuse of acid, pot, and cocaine.

See, Wikipedia is like that Panera Bread experiment on a restaurant where people pay what they want. You base it on people's intentions, but without recognizing human beings are dishonest, egotistical, and corrupt. This is why Wiki cannot be used as any form of real source. Even such an article has political agenda now and truth is suppressed. Exchange of free idea is a joke in a world of tyrants.

Under Books

There is a book called Wing Chun Kung Fu, Chinese Art of self defence. Bruce lee is listed as technical editor on the cover of the book. The book is written by James Yimm Lee. put out in 1972. maybe this should be added to under books.````

Hi, it's my opinion that the bio information on historical figure Bruce Lee is inaccurate. He never married Linda Emery, a blue eye with mix blonde in her hair. I have No idea who she is. That is not the biologic mother of his offspring. Also, the spelling "Lee" is for US purposes in USA media reporting, and "Bruce" was not his original birth name. Reports that the martial arts expert is from USA are false; he was a full blood man of Asia, who never intended to leave his family's home country. Also, his mother is not mixed Spanish. Both his parents are from Asia, with Asia family last names.

(I am not at liberty to reveal details of private Asia family lineages.) Only the actual family from an Asian nation could be questioned about their past there.

"Bruce Lee" did not prefer that his family be forced to relocate to USA after his birth; he was literally stalked by an unnamed US president who traveled to foreign lands from 1914 to 1978, causing deaths to millions in European, Asian and several other countries. Throughout the 1900s, these lands were undeveloped; in need of agriculture and culture resurrection efforts the entire 20th century that did not occur from aggressive western countries.

Returning to a topic about Asia:

Honestly, the Oriental lands and waters once were isolated and unique-- with very different and beautiful plants, animals, Jungles, tropic islands, clean coasts and deep waters of unharmed unexplored oceans, natural Earth wonders and Asia human cultures that deserve respect and preservation.

Today, Asia lands are able to keep an "environment friendly" perspective and honor a clean Earth, refusing influence from the West societies that pollute and destroy. Depletion of shellfish and other exotic crustaceans in coastal areas is a bad influence from White populations who supplied machine technology for sea nettings of mass quantities of shellfish. Coral forests, millions of years old are also damaged, a result of Western influence.

So please remove the reports of any Spanish blood in "Bruce Lee" family, and remove inaccurate report of marriage to a yellow hair blue eye woman while in USA.

With goodwill intention from a former friend in 1970s.

Thank you,

Adriena Lewis

Semi-protected edit request on 27 December 2024

hello, i noticed a typo. bruce lee died at 32, and this is mentioned correctly twice in the article, however- one mention lists his date of death at 33, and this is incorrect. would like to change. thank you. 8ballfracture (talk) 18:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done Thanks. Looks like Britannica forgot to account for the fact he died before his birth day. Skynxnex (talk) 22:41, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Manual of style & citation issues

I have noticed several problems with the General bibliography section.

1. There are external links in this section. As per WP:ELPOINTS, include appropriate external links in an "External links" section at the end of the article.
2. As per MOS:FURTHER, there are clearly book & journal citations that are not used as reference citations that belong in a Further reading section.
3. As per MOS:BIB, "Bibliography" is discouraged because it is not clear whether it is limited to the works of the subject of the article. This section should have a better name, such as Sources or Works cited.
4. There are many shortened footnotes that are correct, but recently some have been added that do not link to the full citations.

I hope to spend some time over the next couple of days working to rectify this. Peaceray (talk) 22:41, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Also, Notes is more common than Footnotes as the latter can refer to explanatory footnotes or references, & References is more common than Citations, so I am changing these to the more common convention. Peaceray (talk) 18:52, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
