is like another time and space, late at night on July 20, 1973, Bruce Lee suddenly fell ill and died at the home of Golden Harvest actress Ding Pei.

Even though he had reminded him several times directly and indirectly through Zou Wenhuai before, he still did not change this suffocating ending, and Zhang Heng, who was far away in Perth, couldn't help but be extremely sad when he got this bad time from across the ocean.

Zou Wenhuai said on the phone that Bruce Lee invited Zhang Heng as one of the people who helped the soul when he was dying, although he didn't understand why he was so valued, but since this was the case, of course he was duty-bound to make a final farewell to this giant who created the world status of Chinese kung fu films, Zhang Heng was honored and sentimental.

It took three days to expedite some urgent matters in Western Australia, leaving most of the people to continue the follow-up work of Newman Mining, and he hurriedly flew back to Xiangjiang with Tang Jihua and Chen Zhenning.

At 9 a.m. on July 25, at No. 1 Maple Street, Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon, at the entrance of the Kowloon Funeral Parlor.

Chen Zhenning drove Pingzhi slowly closer, Zhang Heng looked through the dark glass, looked at the semi-circular arc-shaped brown building surrounded by the crowd outside the window, and sighed secretly.

In the past ten years, it has sent away the eldest daughter of Cheng Siyuan, Asia-Pacific actress Lin Dai, and the most famous classical beauty of the Shaw Brothers in the past, Letty, and today, it will send away a movie and kung fu superstar who will forever be recorded in history.

At this time, people should not really understand what Bruce Lee represents, but the tens of thousands of people on the street are already the biggest significance.

The entrance of the funeral home is even more crowded, wreaths and black photos are placed along the street wall, the excited crowd tiptoes to enter here for a final farewell, countless police officers struggle to maintain order, and dozens of media reporters carry cameras or cameras to shuttle back and forth to take pictures, leaving the last image memory for this farewell.

Chen Zhenning stopped the car, a policeman came over and opened the door, Tang Jihua got out of the car first to escort him, and Zhang Heng, who was wearing a black dress and a white flower on his chest, stepped out of the car.

The policeman whispered respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, there are many people today, please come in with me." ”

Zhang Heng glanced at it, and it turned out to be Officer Ma from the Kwun Tong Police Station, and was slightly surprised.

Officer Ma explained in a low voice: "There is not enough police in Kowloon, and we have been seconded here, and our head is over there." ”

Looking at the distance, Ren Darong was really directing a team of uniformed policemen to arrange a cordon, and at this time he happened to turn around and nodded to him from afar, Zhang Heng nodded slightly, and under the escort of Police Officer Ma, he walked through the crowded crowd on both sides, and tried to squeeze inside.

The flash kept on, and the media reporters didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and desperately took pictures when they saw the seemingly important guests.

"Who is this?" someone asked, confused.

"It's Mr. Zhang, one of the judges of Miss Heung Kong of TVB last time, and the chairman of the board of directors of Daheng Group. "The sharp-eyed ones have already recognized it.

"It's that Xiao Zhang Sheng of Lantian Estate, he is really young and heroic, and his demeanor is extraordinary!" many people exclaimed.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you want to say at this time?"

"Dong Zhang, are you friends with Bruce Lee?"

Countless microphones were stuffed into Zhang Heng's mouth, blocking the way forward.

Officer Ma picked up the whistle and was about to stuff it into his mouth, Zhang Heng gently grabbed him, and said to these reporters with a solemn expression: "Everyone, I am really not in the mood to be interviewed at this time, but since you asked, I will say a few words, although the industry is different, but Bruce and I hit it off at first sight and have always maintained a friendship, but unfortunately God is jealous of the talent, he left so early, this is an immeasurable loss to Xiangjiang and the world film industry, Bruce, and his kung fu and kung fu movies, will go down in history!"

After speaking, under the escort of Police Officer Ma and Chen Zhenning, a passage was opened from the crowd and entered the mourning hall in the funeral home.

Facing is a wreath wall, with a black posthumous photo of Bruce Lee hanging in the middle, with four big black characters on it: Art Sea Star Sinking.

After receiving the incense handed by the staff, Zhang Heng took two of his subordinates to bow and salute, then looked at Bruce Lee's remains, and then turned to the family area on the side.

Bruce Lee's wife, Linda, wore linen and filial piety, hugged his pair of children, and sat on the ground, surrounded by several of his family members, two sisters, eldest brother Li Zhongchen, and younger brother Li Zhenhui.

To Zhang Heng's slight surprise, there were two other people he knew in the family area, one was He Hongluan, and the other was Miao Kexiu, who was dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.

Bruce Lee's mother was born in the He family, but his biological mother was just a concubine, so he did not admit it to the He family, the relationship between the two families was very ordinary, and He Hongluan was able to attend, it should be the He family who showed great goodwill.

And Miao Kexiu, who is dressed as a surviving person, is a bit shocking.

No wonder she has never married since then, and she has been alone all her life.

"Please mourn and be submissive. Zhang Heng bowed deeply.

Linda hurriedly picked up the two children and returned the gift with the family.

He Hongluan took a step forward and said sincerely: "Xiao Zhangsheng, thank you for coming. ”

"Bruce is my friend, and I have always admired him for his outstanding contributions to Chinese kung fu films, but it's a pity that the days are not over...... I am both sad and honored to be able to see him off. Zhang Heng's tone was low.

The two children looked up and watched the two talk, their expressions a little confused, as if they didn't know what these people were doing here.

Zhang Heng glanced at Li Guohao deeply and touched his head, "Brandon, don't forget to call your uncle if you have something in the future." ”

"Good. The little boy nodded solemnly.

"Zhang Dong. Zou Wenhuai squeezed over from the side to say hello, and several people followed behind him also said hello, all of them were heavyweights or pillars of Jiahe, He Guanchang, Liang Feng, Wang Yu, Xie Xian, etc.

This time, Wang Yu and Xie Xian behaved extremely respectfully, and Zhang Heng didn't bother to deal with them, nodded casually, walked to the corner with He Hongluan and Zou Wenhuai, and communicated in a low voice.

"Is the cause of Bruce's illness determined?" he asked first.

Zou Wenhuai's face was ugly: "It should be the cerebral edema caused by the drug, the Xiangjiang court has intervened, and the forensic doctor has done a detailed examination before, and the report may be released within a month." ”

Zhang Heng nodded: "Dong Zou, the rumors are terrifying, you have to be prepared." ”

"I regard Bruce as a son, his departure is a bolt from the blue for Golden Harvest, I didn't expect us to face this unbearable situation, if it weren't for the support of Mr. He and Mr. Li Zhongchen, and Ms. Linda's trust, we really can't tell. Zou Wenhuai shook his head bitterly.

"In this way, we will try to let the court invite more experts, and finally issue a detailed report with notarization and force, and conclude this matter. ”

Zhang Heng still agrees with the theory that drugs cause sudden cerebral edema, as for the two theories of the underworld framing and Jiahe's own shots that have been circulated in later generations, it is really a brain-opening idea, and it is really unbearable.

Bruce Lee is just an actor, even if he has single-handedly made Chinese kung fu famous in the world, but it will not affect the major interests of the Yamaguchi-gumi, how much hatred should this Japanese underworld have to come to Xiangjiang to plan this kind of poisoning and murder that will inevitably attract the attention of the world?

And the man from the old community family in Xiangjiang who Ding Pei married four years later didn't know Ding Pei at all at this time, and he hadn't entered the entertainment industry yet, where did the conflict of interest come from?

As for Golden Harvest's shot, although Bruce Lee built his own production company, the distribution is completely handed over to Golden Harvest, and his production company also has Golden Harvest's shares, how brain-dead should Zou Wenhuai be to attack the hen that can still lay golden eggs?

There are constantly people in the mourning hall who come in to worship incense, most of them are people in the entertainment industry, including the film and television industry, Liyuan, Wuban and other industries, and many people from Shaw Brothers also came, Zhang Heng recognized Sammo Hung, Dillon, Jiang David and others, Liang Shuyi attended as a high-level representative of wireless station, Run Run Shaw, which was regarded as a final summary of the battle between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest against Bruce Lee a few years ago.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the funeral was officially held.

There are a total of six people in Xiangjiang, He Hongluan, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Zhang Heng, Xiao Qilin, and Li Zhongchen.

Wearing white gloves, the six people lifted the special bronze coffin and slowly walked out of the mourning hall under the escort of the staff and police.

The streets were full of people, flashing lights crackled, some people cried loudly, causing a lot of mourning, and a girl climbed over the iron railing, rushed two steps towards the blockade, but fell limply, apparently unconscious.

The ambulance roared away with the unconscious, the police held the line as if they were facing a great enemy, and the six men carried the bronze coffin onto the hearse and sat around.

Family and friends got into the car behind one after another, and under the escort of police cars and motorcycles, more than a dozen cars left Maple Leaf Street.

The streets were lined with solemn send-offs, waving yellow chrysanthemums and white lilies in their hands, and everywhere the car went, there were always a few people who wanted to climb over the railings and rush onto the street, but were desperately pressed to the ground by the police, making a terrible cry.

Gradually, the car left the Tai Kok Tsui area, and the crowds gathered on both sides were significantly less.

Ten minutes later, the convoy drove into Kai Tak Airport, stopped under a Pan Am plane, and six people carried the copper coffin out of the car, sent the copper coffin to the cargo hold of the plane, and finally bowed goodbye, and the six people retreated.

The family and friends who were going to accompany Bruce Lee to Seattle for the official burial thanked the six people and boarded the plane one after another.

Outside the iron net outside the airport runway, everyone took down the white flowers, took off their gloves, and silently watched the chartered plane roar into the air and leave Xiangjiang.

A great era has come to an end, and the person who can take over the banner of Bruce Lee in the future is still a little martial artist.

Zhang Heng's face was expressionless, and his mood was gloomy.

"Dong Zhang, go to my office and sit down, it's rare for you to come back this time, and I want to talk to you about something. Zou Wenhuai suddenly turned his face and whispered.

Zhang Heng originally wanted to find him, not only to talk about the film company, but also about many matters behind Bruce Lee, so he nodded.

There is also a shift in the evening, make up the homework!
