Bruce Lee in the Time of Cyberpunk and Coronavirus
: Bruce Lee in the Time of Cyberpunk and the Coronavirus A Fighter for Our Transnational Brave New World Dahpon David Ho Pierre Berton: You’ve lost me! Bruce Lee: [laughs] I have, huh? …I mean here is the natural instinct, and here is control. You are to combine the two in harmony. Not—if you have one to the extreme, you’ll be very unscientific. If you have another to the extreme, you become all-of-a-sudden a mechanical man—no longer a human being. […] Pierre Berton: Do you still think of yourself Chinese, or do you ever think of yourself as North American? Bruce Lee: You know what I want to think of myself? As a human being. Because—I mean, I don’t wanna sound like, “as Confucius, sayyy....”—but under the sky, under the heaven, man, there is but one family. It just so happens, man, that people are different. ---Interview on The Pierre Berton Show, 9 December 19711 Bruce Lee did not set out to be a hero; he wanted to be an actor, a human being of action. Basically, he wished to be somebody: a human being who genuinely expressed himself in the kinetic language of martial arts, and one who helped others, likewise, to express themselves. And yet, despite his untimely death in 1973 at the age of 32, Bruce Lee posthumously became an international hero, a person who exerted a profound influence on global culture, providing a transcultural model of what it means to be truly human. With his lightning-fast kicks, incredible physique, and almost universally-recognizable kung fu battle cry (“Whoooeeeaaaaah!!!”, variously spelled), Bruce Lee became not just somebody, but rather the body that transformed Asian and American cinema: martial arts, body expression, fitness, masculinity, race, class, and anticolonialism. -
