Bruce Lee Statue Gets Permanent Home in Los Angeles’ Chinatown

Fans of Bruce Lee are celebrating the new permanent home of the Bruce Lee statue in Chinatown in Los Angeles.

A new installed pedestal for the 7-foot tall statue was formally dedicated Friday with Lee’s daughter Shannon and other VIPs looking on.

” It warms my heart to know that this first ever statue of my father in the United States will stand here in my home town. I am grateful to the LA Chinatown Corporation, Pedro Chan, and everyone who supported this project and helped make this a reality,” Shannon Lee wrote on Facebook.
 

 

The statue marks the 80th anniversary of the city’s New Chinatown, according to State Senator Kevin de Leon.

“The Bruce Lee Statue will be a towering site to admire, especially when it’s the only one in the USA,” he said according to Xinhuanet.com.

The LA Weekly reports that Lee opened a martial arts studio near the Central Plaza in Los Angeles-thus his connection to the city.
