According to St Headline, film producer Shannon Lee and her daughter, Wren Keasler, traveled from the United States to Hong Kong to attend events celebrating what would have been Bruce Lee's 85th birthday (27/11/1940-27/11/2025). Although her father passed away 52 years ago, Shannon Lee feels he has never truly left. Bruce Lee's sayings and philosophy continue to nurture and guide her throughout her life.

The producer previously released the book "Be Water, My Friend," named after Bruce Lee's famous quote, which outlines her understanding of the martial artist's spirit and wisdom. One of the quotes that most profoundly impacted Shannon Lee is: "Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself."

Shannon Lee reflected on that quote during a difficult period after her brother, Brandon Lee, passed away in 1993. "I realized that if I wanted to feel better, I needed to find my own inner strength to overcome the pain and heal my wounds," Shannon Lee stated. Her father's love, energy, and presence in her heart make her feel safe.

In Shannon Lee's mind, her father's image remains eternally vibrant and youthful; she cannot imagine him at 85 years old. Influenced by her father, Shannon Lee studied martial arts and appeared in several martial arts films. By experiencing her father's work firsthand, she truly understood his remarkable prowess.

Her daughter, Wren Keasler, watched all of her grandfather's films and found martial arts interesting. However, she is not interested in learning martial arts as she prefers the medical field. Wren Keasler aims to develop physical and mental healthcare for the community.
