Special Projects: Hong Kong 2007 - 2008: Bruce Lee's former home
Bruce Lee's former home
In 1971 Bruce Lee and his family returned to Hong Kong after living in the U. S. for 12 years. In November 1972, after living in a small apartment with his wife and 2 children, he purchased this home in Kowloon with the proceeds of the $25K cancellation clause from a tv series he had developed and was going to star in back in the states, it was called "Kung Fu".
July 2008: After serving many years as a love hotel, the house and land have been donated by it's current owner Yu Panglin, a real estate tycoon, to the government of Hong Kong, and it's to be turned into a museum. There is a stipulation: the land needs to be rezoned so that a 25,000 sq ft building can be built. Hopefully this will move forward in a positive way.
