    The Wider Image: Fifty years on, Bruce Lee’s legacy squares

    Simon Yeung, 40, poses for photo at a Wing Chun school, in Hong Kong, China July 4, 2023. "I have always been fascinated by martial arts since childhood, inspired by movies featuring martial arts stars like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Sammo Hung," said Yeung. Yet fifty years after the death of Bruce Lee, who galvanised the imaginations of generations of young people worldwide with feats of kung fu immortalised on screen, it sometimes seems as if his legacy of the martial art he practiced is fading in Hong Kong. The swift pace of life in one of the world's most expensive cities often conflicts with the time and effort required to master the traditional martial art, while soaring rents make it tough to set up schools.
