Bruce Lee Statue to Rival Statue of Liberty



Bruce Lee
(Foshan, Guangdong Province, China) Artists plan to create a 30m-tall and eight-legged sculpture of kung fu legend Bruce Lee in Foshan. The intent is to have a landmark that is as recognizable as the Statue of Liberty.

According to the China Daily, the ceramic statue depicts an eight-legged Bruce Lee, known as Li Xiaolong in Chinese, balancing world famous monuments on each foot.

These include the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower, and the Bird's Nest, or National Olympic Stadium, in Beijing.

"We hope it can compete with the Statue of Liberty. But our sculpture, 'The Kung Fu God of 1,000 Legs', is meant to symbolize Chinese wisdom, creativity and health," an artist Shu Yong, said.[…]

The towering sculpture, which looks like a stop-motion capture of Lee doing one of his explosive high kicks, is expected to be ready by next year.

Eight legs, eh? It's easy to see why he was known as an ass-kicker.
