Statue of Bruce Lee

Statue of Bruce Lee, Bronze monument in Chinatown, Los Angeles, US.

The Statue of Bruce Lee is a 7-foot dark bronze figure of a bare-chested man in a martial arts stance, his right arm extended with a short stick and his left hand raised near his chest. He wears loose trousers gathered at the waist with a wrapped band. It stands in Chinatown's Central Plaza near Sun Mun Way and Jung Jing Road, with a metal barrier and foliage at ground level.

The 7-foot bronze was made in Guangzhou by an unknown artist and brought to Los Angeles through a five-year effort by Bruce Lee's daughter Shannon. It was unveiled on June 15, 2013, during Chinatown's 75th anniversary, before a crowd including actor James Hong. On September 28, 2018, it was unveiled again on a commemorative pedestal during the district's 80th anniversary, with Shannon Lee and State Senator Kevin de León present.

The statue shows Bruce Lee in a fighting stance that resonates with the Asian-American community in the neighborhood. It serves as a visible reminder of martial arts heritage and East Asian influence in this part of the city.

The memorial is situated in Central Plaza, an accessible pedestrian area with steady foot traffic and room to move around. This location makes it easy for visitors to find, photograph, and spend time observing the surroundings.

The statue was funded by Chinese-American collector Chen Canpei with the permission of Shannon Lee, who led a five-year campaign to bring it from Guangzhou. It is the only statue of Bruce Lee in the United States, and fans regularly pose beside it in martial arts stances.
