Overall: New enough, long enough, and including Bruce Lee will definitely hook readers. Earwig shows only 4.8% for English-language sources; AGF on Chinese ones. Not sure the image is very relevant, and it should probably be omitted. Looks good to go! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:27, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
