Hong kong: Bruce Lee fans are marking the 35th anniversary of the Kung-fu action star, with an exhibit featuring movie posters, magazine covers, and books about the actor.
Also among the 800 items display are letters written by Lee that details his life in the US. where he attended university and taught Kung fu before returning to Hong kong.
Lee died in Hong kong on July 20, 1973 while making film "Enter the Dragon," he was only 32.
Hong kong actor Danny Chan, who plays Lee in an upcoming Chinese TV series about the late actor, attended the opening ceremony Friday at the exhibit organized by the Hong kong-based Bruce Lee Club.
Chan said he hopes the exhibit will improve public understanding of Lee. "A lot of people like Bruce Lee know very little about him," he said.
Lee was known for movies in which he portray characters that defended the credits include; "The Chinese Connection," "Return of the Dragon" and "Enter the Dragon."
Talks are also on going about turning Lee's former home in Hong kong into a museum.
The philantrophist who owns the two-story houses has offered to donate the property- now used as an hourly love motel- and has lobbied the government to help convert it into a museum.

Thank you!!! Rene' for the input... oh, yeah! i've seen this TV series, too...
It was TV producer William Dozier was keen to bring cartoon character of "The Green Hornet" to TV, and was looked for an Oriental actor to play the Green Hornet's sidekick "Kato," and Bruce Lee, did it. Maraming salamat po!!!
