"Fist of Fury" Introdiction


My rewrite is based on the 1972 Bruce Lee’s movie Fist of Fury. It is about after the defeat of Sino-British Opium War, The Eight-Power Allied Forces divided concessions in Shanghai of China. By the time of Japanese invasion, Chinese were called “Sick man of East Asia”, at the side of the Japanese concession’s gate was written “Chinese and dogs are not allowed to go in.”

During the time Huo Yuanjia founded “Jingwu Men” for salubrity and patriotism.  “Jingwu Men” gained world renown and Huo Yuanjia was called a generation villagemaster because for him there was no counterpart over the world. But several months later the founder of “Jingwu Men”, Huo Yuanjia suddenly died. His favorite apprentice, Chen Zhen returned to Shanghai from Japan.




Here are few links of the movie trailer on Youtube and Wikipedia,

I am going to create a Japanese character--Chen Zhen’s girl friend. And based on her point of view, how she reflects on everything Chen Zhen has been through in the original movie.

I will later upload the final rewrite chapter by chapter. I am working on putting things together now.
