Chinese Kungfu possesses an important and extensive cross－cultural significance。 Western culture has， of course， a great influence on the path of Chinese modernization。 Meanwhile Chinese culture is also making an impact on Western culture； the popularity of Chinese Kungfu， including Taijiquan， Qigong， etc。， is not limited to China but has become a worldwide phenomenon； it thus is a typical example of this reverse impact。 As it includes different aspects such as fighting exercise and health care， daily life and academic study， natural state and social scope， research on Kungfu could shed a wholly new light on these interrelated phenomena in an intercultural context。
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco， California， and raised in Hong Kong。 His Hong Kong and Hollywood－produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim。 Lee’s life is short， but is similar to a dazzling comet to delimit the international martial arts world sky actually。 He made a tremendous contribution to the modern art of attack and defense technique as well as the development of movie performing arts。 The Chinese Kungfu is also world famous along with it。 In many foreign language dictionaries appeared a new word——Kungfu。 In many foreigners’ mind Kungfu was the Chinese martial arts。 Lee has also become the Kungfu incarnation in the period。
