With the approaching of the 42nd anniversary of the death of late action movie actor Bruce Lee, a new book that will reveal secrets to his romance with a former Taiwanese actress Betty Ting Pei, is scheduled to go on sale in China beginning on July 20, according to a report published recently by a China-based daily.
The content of the new book, entitled The Old Days of Bruce Lee and Me: Half a Lifetime of Practice, a Lifelong Memory, is based on an oral account by Ting, reports the Huaxi Urban Daily.
The well-known Hong Kong-American martial art star died at age of 32 on July 20, 1973 at Ting's residence in the former British colony, leaving the former Taiwanese actress in the center of a string of rumors.
On July 20, 1973, Lee was in Hong Kong, to have dinner with James Bond star George Lazenby, with whom he intended to make a film. According to Lee's wife Linda, Lee met producer Raymond Chow at 2 pm at home to discuss the making of the film Game of Death. They worked until 4 pm and then drove together to the home of Lee's colleague Betty Ting Pei, a Taiwanese actress. The three went over the script at Ting's home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting. Around the time of Lee's death, numerous rumors appeared in the media.
