Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Just understand that I have gone to a very far away place to shoot. I wanted to keep it a secret, so my close disciples kept posting videos like before.

He was always a great master of Kung Fu, who mastered many styles of traditional martial arts and had his own distinct identity in each style. Whatever he learned throughout his life, he put it into films and TV and became an excellent action director. Even as an actor, he played many memorable characters, which were loved by the audience and fellow actors like us. Appreciated. Brother Leung, it is snowing in Beijing, the sky is gloomy and I am missing you.” Bruce Leung is a famous martial arts actor in Hong Kong cinema, best known for his portrayal of ‘The Beast’ in Stephen Chow’s film Kung Fu Hustle (2004).
