Shih (born 29 November 1950 in Taipei, Taiwan) is a composer. Shih lives and works in Vienna since 1974.
Shih studied composition and harp at the Vienna University for Music and Performing Arts. He graduated in 1983. Shih lives and works in Vienna since 1974. He is a free-lance composer, music-master and leader of the Pacific Youth Orchestra Vienna, founded in 2002. Special merits granted for regularly presenting contemporary Austrian music in China.
His own works – chamber music, ballet, lied, orchestra works, opera and oratorio – have been performed in many European und Asian countries as well as in the United States and regularly appear both on TV and radio (ORF, ARD, MDR, RAI etc.). Shih had his international break-through with his opera „Vatermord“ („Death of a Father“), first performed at Dresden 1994 followed by performances at Leipzig Oper, Nürnberg, Erlangen, Vienna and Berlin.
Further important steps are: oratory „Lebend’ges Land“ at Münster, music-installation „Prayer“ in Taiwan (at the occasion of the centennial of Republic of China) and the open-end cycle „Ein Takt für...“ („A Measure for...“) which established Shih’s individual style of transforming psychical processes into music for all existing instruments, either in solo performance or in combination with others.
Bruce Lee (born Lee Jun-fan; 27 November 1940 – 20 July 1973) was a Chinese AmericanHong Kong actor,martial arts instructor, philosopher, film director, film producer, screenwriter, and founder of the Jeet Kune Do martial arts movement. He is widely considered by many commentators, critics, media and other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist and pop culture icon of the 20th Century. He is often credited with changing the way Asians were presented in American films.
Lee was born in San Francisco to parents of Hong Kong heritage but was raised in Hong Kong until his late teens. Lee returned to the United States at the age of 18 to claim his U.S. citizenship and receive his higher education. It was during this time that he began teaching martial arts, which soon led to film and television roles.
His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, and sparked a major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and the rest of the world, as well. He is noted for his roles in five feature-length films: Lo Wei's The Big Boss (1971) and Fist of Fury (1972); Way of the Dragon (1972), directed and written by Lee; Warner Brothers' Enter the Dragon (1973) and The Game of Death (1978), both directed by Robert Clouse.

Genres: Documentary,I always knew that you would take yourself far from home as soon as
As far as you could go. By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and the Army issue green
For the past eight weeks I can tell where you've been.
For I knew, I could see
It was all cut and dried to me
There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room
And when you meet it
Promise me you won't meet it with your gun.
So now you are one of the brave few
It's awful sad we need boys like you.
I hope the day never comes for
'Here's your live round son.
Stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun.'
Well I knew, I could see
It was all cut and dried to me
There was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room
And when you meet it promise me you won't meet it with your gun taking aim.
For I don't mean to argue
They've made a decent boy of you and I don't mean to spoil your home coming
But baby brother you should expect me to.
'Stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun.'
So now does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic song
When you see the stripes of Old Glory waving?
Well I knew, I could see
It was all cut and dried to me
There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room
And when you meet it promise me you won't meet it with your gun taking aim.
I don't mean to argue
They've made a decent boy of you
And I don't mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother Jude
And I don't mean to hurt you by saying this again
They're so good at making soldiers but they're not so good at making men.
