The smog is like a skin of concrete melded through the image, broken here and there by masked faces or the fleeting 5 Frontiers blue glitter of cellphones held aloft like fragile torches. This picture—or something equally gargantuan and brutal—is the spectral shape that China today takes in the public imagination. It’s familiar because it emerges almost automatically upon mention, in the same way that the mist-wrapped karstic cliffs and tranquil waterways of shanshui painting might have arisen in the minds of previous generations.

  • Le Petit Dragon.Wps
    Bruce Lee, né le 27 novembre 1940 -année du Dragon, avec les premières lueurs de l'aube, au Jackson Street Hospital, dans le Chinatown de San Francisco. Son père Lee Hoi Chuen: Comédien, vedette de l'opéra de canton, est en tourné à New York, à près de cinq mille kilomètres, à l'Est, et le reste de sa famille - Son frère, 1 ses deux sœurs et ses grands-parents - se trouve à Hong Kong, à plus de huit milles kilomètres dans la direction opposée. On comprend alors que la petite eurasienne d'origine allemande, du nom de Grace Li, qui vient de mettre au monde son quatrième enfant, se sente perdue, isolée, fragile étrangère en terre étrangère et qu’elle désire avant tout s’attirer la bienveillance des dieux: Elle lui donne le nom de Li Jun Fan. Li se transforme alors très vite en son homonyme américain Lee, Jun Fan, qui signifie «Protecteur de San 2 Francisco». Le petit Lee se retrouve affublé d’un prénom féminin signifiant «petit Phénix». C’est une ruse imaginée par sa famille pour tromper les démons qui volent, aux premières heures du jour, les enfants males, et Lee le conserve, jusqu'à ce, des années plus tard, lui revienne le surnom, justifié par sa naissance, aussi bien que 3 par son tempérament, de Hsui Loong, « le Petit Dragon » Quant au prénom, que Marie Glover: l'infirmière de la maternité lui avait donné pour l’américaniser, Bruce ne l’entend prononcer que treize ans plus tard, lors de son inscription dans une école anglaise de son pays.

  • Liu Xiang Biography I Think Liu Xiang Is My Hero
    Liu Xiang Biography I think Liu Xiang is my hero. He is an amazing athlete. He started practising for the 110-metre hurdles twelve years ago. Sun Hai Ping has been his trainer since 1999. Together they have won many competitions. Four years ago, Liu Xiang won an Olympic gold medal. In 2006, he set a new world record with a time of 12.88 seconds. Liu Xiang had lots of difficulties but he never stopped trying. When he was at sports school, some older boys bullied him. They put his toothbrush in the toilet and hid his keys. Liu Xiang never complained, even when training was very difficult and his legs hurt badly. He fought off problems and got great results. However, at the Beijing Olympics, two injuries stopped him from competing. All of China was very disappointed. I know Liu Xiang will compete successfully in the future because he never gives up. I really admire Liu Xiang. When things are difficult, I am going to try harder. Maybe one day I will win a gold medal too! 5C Ngai Hoi Tung A Famous Person I want to introduce a famous person, who is a Chinese man. He always wore a tight yellow shirt. He was very good at kung fu. Do you know who he was? He was Bruce Lee. He was a legendary person. He had a legendary life too. I have chosen him because I think that he was brave and cool. Bruce was born in 1940. He was born in San Francisco, California, USA. He returned to Hong Kong with his family three months after he was born.

  • Bruce Lee Teoretizálása a Tudomány Fenséges Tárgya (Részlet)
    BRUCE LEE TEORETIZÁLÁSA A TUDOMÁNY FENSÉGES TÁRGYA (RÉSZLET) PAUL BOWMAN „Az inter-etnikus reprezentáció tehát nem csak arról szól, hogy még több, még újabb csa- pást és összeköttetést fedezünk fel más kultúrákhoz és kultúrákkal – akár Kolumbusz Kris- tóf karavelláinak, akár Bill Gates modemjeinek segítségével. Hanem egy olyan folyamatról van szó, ahol a kapcsolatok technológiának és kereskedelemnek köszönhető felgyorsulása és megerősödése együtt jár a sztereotípiák felgyorsulásával és megerősödésével; sztereo- típiákéval, amelyek nem egyszerűen hamisak vagy tévesek (és így eloszlathatóak), hanem amelyek képesek teljes szellemi éghajlatokat megváltoztatni...” Rey Chow, Brushes with the Other as Face1 BRUCE LEE SZTEREOTIPIZÁLÁSA: TRIVIALITÁSOK, KLISÉK ÉS KIHÍVÁSOK Bruce Lee mint kutatási tárgy sokak szemében triviális, gyerekes dolognak tűnhet; egyenlő annak a hetvenes évekbeli celluloid-hősnek a képével, aki valamikor régen meghatározott egy rövid periódust, amikor „mindenki kung-fuzott”, vagy egy ideig sze- retett volna kung-fuzni. És valóban, nemcsak, hogy triviális, de Bruce Lee tulajdonképp egy csomó olyan dolgot példáz, amelyek nélkül boldogabbak lehetnénk: dilis fiúk őrüle- tét, divatmániát, eszképizmust, fanatikusságot, fizikai erőszakkal kapcsolatos fantáziá- kat, alapvető rasszista sztereotípiákon nyugvó reprezentációkat, a keleti másság áru- ként való kezelését. Vagyis „Bruce Lee” triviális, fanatikus, fetisiszta, erőszakos, orien- talista, kizsákmányoló és a kisajátítás nyugati lendületét tipizáló.

Indeed, the reader should only read this back-up copy if the updated original cannot be found at the original author's site. the Legend of Bruce Lee by Leslie Gonzalez / October 5, 2018 The World mourned for the one of the greatest martial arts icons in the world. Bruce Lee was more than a symbol strength but also represented cultural pride and opened the floor for a conversation on the stereotypes about Asian-Americans in the film industry and in American society in general. Since his death and the death of his son Brandon Lee, many fans speculate that there is something more behind the Little Dragon’s death. Some say that it was a family curse. However, a new theory has surfaced in a recently released biography that might change the way we see the Wing Chun master. He opened the doors for Chinese Americans in television. When we think Bruce Lee, we think about his movies "Enter the Dragon" and "Fists of Fury". We envision high kicks and stylistic punches. Bruce Lee completely changed the way the American public perceived a huge population of people, their traditions, and community.
