A Number Plate That Really Kicks Butt

On Saturday 4th August, a fellow in Hong Kong spent $40,000 HKD on private number plates. The registration he chose was BRUCELEE.

Even now, more than 30 years after Lee's death, the legendary martial artist and film star is a huge hero in China and many South East Asian countries, as well as an iconic example acknowledged by martial artists across the world.

We don't have any information about the purchaser of the Bruce Lee number plates in Hong Kong, other than that he is reportedly a Mr Wong, and that he is quoted as saying:

"When I studied in England, foreigners would only know two Chinese people. One is Bruce Lee. The other is Chairman Mao. You can imagine how great Bruce Lee is, how big of an impact he had on the Chinese, even until today."
