“I’m relieved that his house is still around more than 30 years after his death and we can still preserve it. Having withstood the test of time, Bruce Lee’s significance and honor have become clearer. Of course, if Bruce Lee’s house had been preserved earlier, that would be even better. But now it’s not too late. At least the house hasn’t been demolished and we can still restore it."
