HK to hold competition to restore Bruce Lee's old home

HONG KONG — The Hong Kong government has planned to hold a design competition to restore a former home of late martial arts legend Bruce Lee.

The house where Lee lived from 1972 to 1973 is currently used as a "love motel," where rooms are rented by the hour and people often carry on affairs. The owner has lobbied to covert it into a museum.

Hong Kong's commerce and economic development bureau says in statement late Friday that the design should incorporate maximum use of space while restoring the two-story house to its original appearance.

The authority did not elaborate on the timeframe and how the competition would be funded.

Lee, who died in Hong Kong in 1973 at age 32 from swelling of the brain, was born in San Francisco but grew up in Hong Kong. - AP
