Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Lee are the most renowned Kung fu stars both at home and abroad. Do you think who is the spokesman of Chinese Kungfu? Personally, I like Jackie Chan very much, and I think he is the spokesman of Chinese Kung fu. Although Bruce Lee seems to be more popular in US and other foreign countries, but for me, Bruce Lee seems to live in an era far from me. Bruce Lee stirs a sensation in US from 1960s to 1970s. Bruce Lee changed Chinese image in America where "the Chinese were stereotyped as meek house servants and railroad workers". His steely sinew redeem Chinese image. He is a real gladiator, but he lived a transient life of 32 years and died in 1973. The reason why I like Jackie Chan is because I grew up under the influence of his Kung Fu movies. His Kung fu movies accompany me to go through my childhood anf teen years. Maybe I am biased to say that Jackie Chan is the spokesman of Chinese Kung fu. Anyhow, I idolise him. His movie " The Myth "is one of my favorites. Well, it is a pity for me to hear that his movie " Rush Hour 3" is impossible to release in mainland China. Jet Lee is also a brilliant Kung fu star, but I prefer Jackie to him. Well, I don't know why.Jet Lee's two blockbusters Beijing Bodyguards and Fearless are excellent, his acting skills are no doubt world-class. Anyway, who is the spokesman of Chinese Kung Fu? What do you think?

i always think Bruce Lee popularized kung fu in America and also made it glamorous with his Western wife and mixed-blood actor son. He's not just talented, he was also intelligent. When I watched his movies again, I could see his deeper side. He graduated with a degree in philosophy from an American university, and so he expressed some deeper thoughts and feelings in his movies about the art of living.

Jackie Chan is talented and funny. They're just different people.
