Statue of Bruce Lee, Bronze statue at Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
The Statue of Bruce Lee is a 2.5 m bronze figure by sculptor Cao Chong-en on the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui. It shows Lee in the ready-to-strike pose from the 1972 film Fist of Fury, bare-chested in loose trousers with a sash, right arm forward and fingers spread, left hand raised near the chest. The mottled grey-green figure stands above a dark pool in a paved waterfront area.
The memorial was erected in 2005 to honor Bruce Lee and recognize his importance in film history. Since then, it has become a well-known place where fans and visitors acknowledge his achievements in cinema.
The statue shows Bruce Lee in a pose that represents martial arts and cinema to people around the world. Visitors immediately recognize the stance from his films and understand why this figure holds such importance for Hong Kong.
The statue stands on the Avenue of Stars promenade by the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, reached on foot from the East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR area. It faces a paved open space with a pool of water at its base, so visitors can walk around it and view the pose from several sides.
The statue was unveiled on 27 November 2005 by Bruce Lee's brother Robert Lee, on what would have been the actor's 65th birthday. The Hong Kong Bruce Lee Club had raised US$100,000 for the project after asking the government to honour his legacy.
