Bruce Lee the pioneer of Eastern/Westerns
Yea, why didn't I think of Heather Fong..... then again, I never considered myself San Franciscan.
And I am surprised that it took this long for anyone to mention Bruce Lee.....
Then there is Wang Lee Hom.
Lucy Liu.
I know Bobby Lee isn't actually Chinese but anyone have a reaction to his works? (Watching him on Youtube right now and reading a comment from a Mongol.)

I have often heard that if it wasn't for the fact that he and his team were from Communist China, and some other mixup ,He and his team would have been awarded the Nobel Price for Synthetic Insulin , rather than the Americans? True or False?

And although he was English I think we can claim him, Li Yuese or 李約瑟;
-- In China, Li Yuese, the Chinese name for an English intellectual Joseph Needham, is at least a household name among the well-educated -- his Science and Civilization in China, a twenty-four-volume masterpiece, is known as the most important books telling the west what Chinese have contributed to the world.
The 17th-century philosopher-statesman Francis Bacon declared that nothing had changed the world more profoundly than three great inventions: gunpowder, printing and the compass. But what the philosopher didn't know was that all the three had already been conceived of and successfully employed by a single people -- the Chinese.
And it was not until over 300 years later, that one young man in Cambridge gave these people the credit they rightly deserved. The man was Joseph Needham, otherwise known as Li Yuese
Has anyone looked at his publications?
