Li Haiquan, born on February 4, 1901 in Jun'an Shang Village, Shunde, Guangdong, is a famous Cantonese opera ugly and young actor, and the father of kung fu star Bruce Lee.

At the end of the 20s of the 20th century, he served as a student in the New China Class, and his main performances included "Jinmao Mouse", "Night Crossing Luhua", "Luo Tong Sweeping the North", etc. In the thirties, Li Haiquan was known for his "bad shirt play". He is versatile, and his performances are exquisite and unique, especially for his performances in "Robbing Yin Si Road" and "Smoke Essence Sweeping the Long Causeway".

In the early 40s, Li Haiquan, together with Liao Xiahuai, Ban Ri'an and Ye Fuqiao, was known as the "Four Famous Ugly Cantonese Opera Artists". Li Haiquan announced his retirement from the stage in 1958 and died in Hong Kong on February 8, 1965 at the age of 64.

Li Haiquan and his son Bruce Lee:

In 1940, Japan swallowed up most of China. The war is raging, the people are struggling to make a living, and the drama world is slaughtered. As a famous Cantonese opera singer, Li Haiquan (Bruce Lee's father) fled his family from Shunde, Guangdong Province to Hong Kong under the iron heel of the Japanese army.

Hong Kong is a safe place. However, the Japanese army had become a crab claw against Hong Kong. Hong Kong was in crisis, and under the panic of the people, Li Haiquan and his wife went to the United States, which is thousands of miles away.

At that time, the United States was far away from the flames of World War II and was a safe haven for refugees from all over the world. Li Haiquan's trip to the United States was not so much to escape the war as to develop Cantonese opera that he regarded as his life. At that time, more than a dozen cities such as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago had formed stable Chinese residential areas, and the community area was called Chinatown.

Chinatown is rich in Chinese culture, with many early immigrants coming from Guangdong, which is why Cantonese opera is a popular cultural entertainment for the Chinese. In the United States, in order to make ends meet, Li Haiquan had to leave his wife-to-be He Aiyu to tour with the troupe. On November 27, 1940, in the Chinese Hospital in Chinatown, San Francisco, USA, Li Haiquan's wife He Aiyu gave birth to her son Bruce Lee.

When his wife gave birth, Li Haiquan also performed at the Chinatown Theater in New York, 9,000 miles away, for his Cantonese opera career. At that time, Li Haiquan only stayed at home for a few days, and then hurriedly toured the United States with the troupe, while his wife and family remained in San Francisco's Chinatown.
