Chapter 54: Come to West Asia again

Since the 1960s, mankind has been full of yearning for space. In 1962, NASA built the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, which was used to design the Apollo spacecraft. "Humanity in the Space Age" naturally became the city of Seattle in 1962

The theme of the World Expo.

Taking advantage of the weekend, led by Bruce, Catherine and her group came to Seattle.

This is the third time Catherine has come to this place.

Different from last time, this time, Catherine came with her companions, and Bruce was actually responsible for negotiating business. After all, Bruce is the CEO of the company. Now the company's influence needs to be expanded, and then

In addition, he was worried about his daughter, so Bruce also ran over.

"Where should we go first?"

As soon as she got off the plane, Lily was holding a map and thinking.

"This place seems interesting, look."

Lisa gave Lily the travel guide she had prepared before.

"It's such a tall tower, but it's completely different from the Eiffel..."

"That's called the Space Needle." Jenny flipped through the travel guide.

Going to Seattle without seeing the Space Needle is like going to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower.

——Of course, this is later.

Now, the Space Needle has just been completed. This future tourist attraction in Seattle is still part of the World Expo.

"...The Space Needle was finalized after a long discussion. There are two main design concepts. The first design was thought up by Edward, an exhibitor at the World Expo. It is about a large balloon connected to the ground.

; And the second design was just the "flying saucer" of architect John. Although both Edward and John's designs won word-of-mouth, the Space Needle was actually designed by Wade. The design of the Space Needle can withstand strong earthquakes.

When the earthquake intensity is less than magnitude 9, there will be no problem with the structure of the tower. In addition, the Space Needle can also withstand strong winds. A wind of ten kilometers per hour will only shake the tower by 16 millimeters..."

Jenny read the introduction in the travel guide.

"Looks really good."

"Shall we go here first?" Lily asked.

"No, let's go here first."

Catherine pointed to a corner of the map.

"Washington State University?"

Everyone looked at Catherine in confusion. They didn't know what was famous about this place.

However, only Catherine knows that now, at Washington State University, there is a place that will be passed down to future generations more than the Space Needle, and that is the Zhenfan Martial Arts Center founded by Bruce Lee, known as the "Saint of Martial Arts."

Yes, in the same month that the Seattle World Expo opened, Bruce Lee also opened his first martial arts gym. This is also a sign that Bruce Lee's name began to spread in the United States!

"You will know when you go there."

Catherine looked mysterious.

Since the World Expo opened, Seattle, a city that didn't originally have many people, suddenly had a lot more people, and even the smooth traffic began to become congested.

Because there are many people in the United States who own private cars, many people simply drive across the United States and then come here. Catherine's family also has a car, but compared to taking a car, she thinks it is better to fly...

Now that Catherine had made her decision, everyone followed Catherine toward Washington State University in Seattle.

It is strange to say that since the United States has a capital city called Washington, it is to commemorate President Washington, but to commemorate Washington, a Washington state was established in the northwest. Catherine could not figure it out.

Unfortunately, their taxi stopped after traveling more than two-thirds of the way.

The reason is simple - traffic jam.

Although Seattle had made preparations for the World Expo, they still encountered such a thing. Looking at the long queue of cars, Catherine decided that everyone should walk there together.

Because the flight was at ten in the morning, it was still noon. By the time they arrived at Washington State University, it was already two in the afternoon.

"Kate, what exactly are you taking us to see?"

"follow me!"

Catherine took them to the parking lot. In an inconspicuous corner, there was a small house with the words "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum" written on it, and there were some unintelligible letters below. But Catherine could understand it.

That's traditional Chinese, and it also means "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum".

——During his sophomore year of college, Bruce Lee rented a corner of the parking lot on campus as a martial arts gym and hung up the sign "Zhenfan Martial Arts Hall." Until a Japanese-American named Kimura Takeyuki provided him with a place.

, he would move away from here. Kimura Takeyuki is actually also a very famous person.

"Hello, beautiful girls."

This is a black man who looks a little cautious and has a missing tooth in his mouth.

Bruce Lee doesn't seem to be here.

"You are...Jesse Glover!"

The name suddenly appeared in Catherine's mind.

That's right, he is Bruce Lee's first disciple!

There's something strange about this black man.

In fact, now is a time when racial discrimination is very serious. Glover's teeth were lost when white police officers caused trouble. And because he is a black man, he has no way to defend his rights. It is not like the United States 40 years later.

"You are?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Bruce Lee...oh, Mr. Li Zhenfan!"

Bruce Lee is his stage name, and Li Zhenfan is his name.

"Do you know my master?" Grover looked at Catherine strangely.

"you……"

Just then, another person came over, but it was a white girl.

If I am correct, this person is Bruce Lee's future wife Linda.

"Linda, what's wrong?"

"Someone is here, three girls."

"Girl?"

The distant voice gradually came closer, and then, a typical Asian face walked over.

"Hey, Mr. Li, do you still remember me? You saved me last time, thank you so much!"

Seeing Li Zhenfan approaching, Catherine greeted him excitedly.

"You are...oh...you are the one at Christmas that year..."

A year apart, Bruce Lee still had some vague influence on Catherine.

"Kate, who is he?"

Lily suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Everyone, I would like to solemnly introduce to you my savior - Mr. Li Zhenfan. During Christmas in 1960, I was almost raped by someone, but I was saved by Mr. Li. His Chinese Kung Fu is amazing!"

It's a pity that the English word "Kung Fu" would not appear until a few years later when Bruce Lee became famous. Now, they still don't understand what "Kung Fu" is.

But the first half of Catherine's words had already shocked them.

Thunder burned down the router...tragedy.
