This image displays a large, vertically oriented exhibition board, likely part of a museum or heritage site in Guangzhou, China. The board is titled "THE LEE'S FAMILY" (李氏家族) with "Lee Hoi-chuen Famous Cantonese Opera Clown" (李海泉 著名粤剧丑角) as a prominent subtitle. It is set against a textured brick wall. The display provides biographical information about Lee Hoi-chuen (1902-1965), described as a renowned Cantonese opera actor specializing in clown and young male characters. The text, presented in both English and Chinese, details his versatility, humor, and significant contributions to Cantonese opera and film. It mentions his fame for the "Tattered Clothes Opera," his travels to the United States in 1939 to promote Cantonese opera, and his return to Guangzhou in 1945 where he purchased what later became Bruce Lee's ancestral home. The narrative continues through his later career, withdrawal from the stage in 1958, and death in Hong Kong in 1965. Several black and white photographs illustrate Lee Hoi-chuen's life. A large portrait at the top right shows a man, presumably Lee Hoi-chuen, looking thoughtfully at the camera. Another key image features a family portrait of a man and woman, likely Lee Hoi-chuen and his wife, holding an infant (Bruce Lee) with another young child beside them. Smaller photographs include an actor in traditional costume, a theatrical poster or playbill, and other less distinct group images. The exhibit serves to commemorate Lee Hoi-chuen's legacy and his connection to the famous Lee family.
