SEATTLE The U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday unveiled a new Forever stamp honoring Chinese American martial artist and actor Bruce Lee, featuring an image of his iconic flying kick.
The stamp was dedicated during a ceremony at the Nippon Kan Theatre in Seattle.
He was mesmerizing to watch. Unlike the theatrical, acrobatic kung fu that came before, Lees movements were economical, explosive, and real, said Ben Kuo, USPS senior vice president of facilities and infrastructure. Bruce Lee has earned this special tribute because he wasnt just an action film star who could fight he was a philosopher who could think and a teacher who inspired millions.
Lees daughter, Shannon Lee, CEO of Bruce Lee Enterprises, also spoke at the event.
His legacy is one of resilience, self-mastery and flow that resonates and connects people across multiple demographics, which is why this stamp is such a profoundly perfect touchpoint and a true honor, she said. Our family is deeply grateful to the USPS for choosing to recognize Bruce Lee, and we are excited to see his kicks flying all across the country on our mail.
Born Lee Jun Fan in San Francisco in 1940, Lee rose to fame in Hong Kong before becoming Hollywoods first Asian American leading man, according to USPS.
