Lee museum proposal could not reach consensus
Updated on

Summary Fans have been calling for an official tribute to Bruce Lee by naming a museum for him.

Their hopes appeared to be answered two years ago when the Hong Kong government reached an agreement to convert the property into a museum. Despite efforts authorities are unable to reach a consensus with the property owner. The owner, Yu, made unreasonable demands, such as wanting to set up his own offices in the museum. Artifacts collected for the planned museum will be used for an exhibit at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum that is expected to launch in late 2012.Lee became a source of Chinese pride by portraying characters who defended the Chinese and the working class from oppressors in films like Return of the Dragon.
