Drug Abuse

Collapsed under Talk Page Guidelines. See WP:NOT

I'm not surprised that this article is locked. The Chinese tries very hard to turn this man into a "national" legend and a myth. The truth about his death has been well known to many Asians for quite some time, it was big news at the time especially in Taiwan. He was having an affair with Betty Ting Pei and doing drugs. None of this was covered up in Taiwan and other Asian sources, Betty Ting Pei became a national embarrassment overnight.

China, along with western media, tried to cover this up with misinformation and propaganda for decades, but in 2021 evidence surfaced in the form of 40 letters from Bruce Lee to his colleagues and friends about his spiral drug use. In these letters it detailed his abuse of acid, pot, and cocaine.

See, Wikipedia is like that Panera Bread experiment on a restaurant where people pay what they want. You base it on people's intentions, but without recognizing human beings are dishonest, egotistical, and corrupt. This is why Wiki cannot be used as any form of real source. Even such an article has political agenda now and truth is suppressed. Exchange of free idea is a joke in a world of tyrants.

There is a book called Wing Chun Kung Fu, Chinese Art of self defence. Bruce lee is listed as technical editor on the cover of the book. The book is written by James Yimm Lee. put out in 1972. maybe this should be added to under books.````

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change "book" to "magazine article" (1964–1965: Oakland)

This is contained in the section "1964–1965: Oakland" in referenced in the following sentence: "According to Michael Dorgan's 1980 book Bruce Lee's Toughest Fight, the fight ended due to Lee's "unusually winded" condition, as opposed to a decisive blow by either fighter.[82]"

A quick google search will confirm that this is indeed not a book.

Sorry if I gave too much detail. ~2026-39553-89 (talk) 06:15, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Done The cited source does in fact say it is from a 1980 issue of Official Karate magazine. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 17:57, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
