79. Your city has decided to build a statue or monument to honor a famous person in your country. Who would you choose? Use reasons and specific examples to support your choice.
Throughout history, there have been hundreds of thousands people who have dramatically affected the way we live today. Some of them are known as inventors, while others as prophets, politicians, athletes, etc. They are all respectable. But ,if my city has decided to build a statue to honor a famous person in my country, I would like to choose a late entertainer, Bruce Lee, whose statue has already been built at Causeway Bay, Hong Kong last September and in Montenegro of Serbia, in November 2005 to show the respect of his fans.
Bruce Lee was a world-famous movie star at his time. As a Chinese, he was born in San Francisco in 1940s and died of a hypersensitivity to hypnotic at age 33 on July 20th, 1973 while spending his holiday in Hong Kong.
Bruce Lee had done quite a good job in popularizing ‘Chinese Kung Fu’ in the movies. And, as a result of his efforts, ‘Kung Fu’, something that once had not been known by foreigners, has become increasingly popular in the whole world and this word, ‘Kung Fu’, even appears in new editions of dictionaries. His famous movies, including ‘Enter the Dragon’,’ Chinese Connection’ and ‘The Big Boss’, have left ever-lasting impressions in the hearts of his fans, not only from China but also from other countries in the world.
Bruce Lee’s life was quite short, but his influence in popularizing the Chinese Kung Fu is just like a shining comet winging throughout the sky of the history. Many foreigners think of Bruce Lee as a symbol of Chinese Kung Fu. In fact, there have been no other movie stars winning such high reputations even since his death in 1970s than him. Today more and more Chinese movies and Chinese actors enter the world movie market, a fact that cannot be disconnected with his influence.
He should be remembered not only because of his great contribution to the movies, but also his generosity. During his short life, Bruce Lee had donated huge amount of money as charity fund to help homeless children. Even after his death, a lot of his belongings have been bequeathed to help the poor all over the world.
What is more, the spirit of Bruce lee can bring the harmony of a whole country. It is reported in the magazine ‘Reader’s Digest’ that last November, the statue was set up in the southern city of Montenegro of Serbia to advance the cause of harmony of the ruined and chaos country because of wars and race riot. It is said by the artist, who makes the statue, that Bruce lee is one hero accepted by both opposing race rather than other one-side accepted heroes. This hero statue to Bruce lee would of-course become a symbol of common love, and then, began to melt the conflict. This is the charisma of Bruce lee, a man deserving all our respect. |
