Bruce Lee is not that much remembered of his acting skills but his philosophy in martial arts and JKD, of which he is the founder.

I'm not into martial arts, but over the years here in the US, I've noticed that Bruce Lee has been constantly named as a source of respect and influence in not only the Asian community, but also the black community. I don't know how popular is Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) elsewhere, but in the US, it's wildly popular and Bruce Lee is often named as one of the pioneers in the sport. Having looked a little bit more into Bruce Lee's life, I find that his life and philosophy to be very interesting. My favorite HK singer, Sam Hui, is clearly influenced by Bruce Lee (they were friends when Bruce was alive, and Bruce's daughter, Sharon Lee, is often the guest at Sam's concerts here in the US).
I agree with you about HKers losing their self identity. Often it takes living overseas to see what it means to be "Chinese" (I don't mean that as mainlander, but as an ethnic group). I see many Westerners who study Chinese culture and even know more about Chinese culture than the typical Chinese people I encountered (myself included). Things that typical Chinese people considered to be "old fashion" or "out" are often highly valued by foreigners. It seems that modern day Chinese people don't care much about their own heritage or history.
All this talk about Bruce Lee reminded me of the bronze statue erected of him in war-torn Bosnia (??!!)
