According to the Chinese calendar 1940 was the Year of the Dragon. A Cantonese film actor named Lee Hoi Chun was performing in San Francisco accompanied by his pregnant wife Grace. By November Grace had gone into labour and was taken to hospital but her husband continued on to New York to perform there. On the 27th of November 1940 at the Jackson Street hospital Grace gave birth to a baby boy. He was named Lee Jun Fan which meant "To Return Again". The child would return to his place of birth someday. The doctor attending the arrival gave the child the English name Bruce... And the legend was born !!
