<p>The red-painted ceramic statue being made by sculptors in Foshan city in Guangdong province that bills itself as the home of Chinese kung fu, depicts an eight-legged Bruce Lee, known as Li Xiaolong in Chinese, balancing world famous monuments on each foot, China Daily reported on Wednesday.<br /><br />These monuments include the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower and the Bird's Nest, or the National Olympic Stadium, in Beijing. <br /><br />Lee, considered one of the most influential martial art experts of the 20th century, was a Chinese American actor and martial arts instructor.<br /><br />The towering sculpture, which looks like a stop-motion capture of Lee doing one of his explosive high kicks, will not be ready for another year, artist Shu Yong said. <br /><br />"We hope it can compete with the Statue of Liberty. But our sculpture, the kung fu god of 1,000 Legs, is meant to symbolise Chinese wisdom, creativity and health," he said.<br /><br />"We are taking it to the Guggenheim Museum (in Manhattan, US) next year as part of a grand world tour," he said.</p>
