Member DragonClaws Posted April 5, 2019 Author Member Share Posted April 5, 2019 Bruce Lee’s Hong Kong mansion to become Chinese studies centre Quote Yu Pang-lin, who bought the house in the early 1970s for about HK$1 million, planned to sell it in 2008 to raise funds for victims of the Sichuan earthquake that year. But he scrapped the idea when fans urged him to restore and preserve the property, affectionately known by Lee as the Crane’s Nest. At that time the house was being used as a short-stay love hotel.Read more at https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/2173803/bruce-lees-hong-kong-mansion-become-chinese-studies-centre#P0BEGeK6huB3IiDR.99 Source- https://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2018/11/19/bruce-lees-hong-kong-mansion-to-become-chinese-studies-centre/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted July 16, 2019 Author Member Share Posted July 16, 2019 Look's like the inevitable has happened, and one of the Little Dragon's Hong Kong home's will be no more. Many have said it was being used a brothel, with people misunderstanding the term Love Hotel. Which is easily done, I though a Love Hotel would suggest something related to a Brothel. However, the Love Hotel idea was not exclusive to this house or area. Nor is a term Hong Kong people were using for place where you can pay for sex. Love Hotel's were/are popular with young married couples, who live with their parents in small confined spaces. A problem in Hong Kong, was many young couples just couldnt get private time for themselves. These places that catered for the big demand, where dubbed Love Hotel's.

Member DragonClaws Posted August 17, 2019 Author Member Share Posted August 17, 2019 This building would have once made for a great location for the Bruce Lee Hong Kong exhitibiton. Though maybe it would have been too small to deal with visitors?. Not that there would be huge numbers coming through the door everyday day. If that was the case, surely someone would have turned his home into a physical tribute many year's ago.
