By the end of this year, fans of movie star and kung fu master Bruce Lee, who died 50 years ago in Hong Kong, will be able to visit a virtual replica of his former mansion in the city.

Virtual reality headsets will enable fans from across the world to get a close look at their idol's home and daily life, including the serene courtyard at the mansion and the cherished Mercedes-Benz owned by Lee, which bore the license plate AX6521.

Lee, who was born on Nov 27, 1940, is renowned for his martial arts prowess and artistic achievements. He popularized the term "kung fu" to the extent that it became a Chinese cultural symbol globally.

Born in San Francisco and raised in Hong Kong, he bridged the gap between East and West, learning martial arts while immersing himself in philosophy.

Lee, 32, died from cerebral edema, or swelling of the brain, on July 20, 1973.

His spirit continues to resonate with admirers worldwide, including Wong Yiukeung, who is in his 50s and has been a Lee fan for about 40 years. Wong is responsible for the virtual revival of Lee's Hong Kong mansion at 41 Cumberland Road, Kowloon Tong, which was demolished in 2019.

Born with a genetic disease that causes fragility, Lhakpa Dondrub, 22, lost count how many times he had broken or snapped bones. Brittle bone disease hindered his growth, leaving him about 1 meter in height, and confined him to a wheelchair, but it hasn't stopped him pursuing his dream to become a photographer.

"When I was a child, I liked to observe the change of light through a window. It was amazingly beautiful. After learning photography, I know it is all about light and how to catch it through the lens," says the man from Lhasa, the Tibet autonomous regions.

"What's more, my perspective is lower than others, and I hope to find the unique light in life from my view," he adds.
