Speaking of kung fu, we have to mention China's three major kung fu superstars: Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen.
You must know that Jackie Chan is 70 years old and is still active on the big screen, while 61-year-old Jet Li has gradually "disappeared" and does not care about the world.
But just a few days ago, a news about Jet Li and his wife and daughter practicing in the temple went viral on the Internet, and was complained by netizens: How many bad things did I did before I remembered to go to the temple to practice.
120 days of retreat
Late at night on June 15, Jet Li shared with netizens his recent status, as well as some photos, that he arrived with his wife and daughter to practice on a high mountain in Nepal, thousands of miles away.
It was a four-month retreat and a spiritual journey for world peace and personal refreshment.
Jet Li is a devout Buddhist, and this year's trip to Nepal is not the first time he has appeared in a Buddhist temple. He worshipped the Buddha in Wutai Mountain in China in May this year and was personally received by Master Lin Hu of the Wuye Temple.
Unlike the Wutai Mountain Buddha, Jet Li's retreat with his wife and daughter is a retreat in Nepal.
Jet Li and his wife Li Zhi's relationship is envious of others, Li Zhi has not appeared for many years, although this photo only shows the back, but the two hold hands and are very affectionate!
So why does Jet Li, who once resounded in the martial arts arena, choose to be with Buddha now?
Jet Li is an internationally acclaimed martial artist, actor, director and producer, and another Oriental kung fu superstar with wide influence around the world after Bruce Lee.
The first movie he starred in, "Shaolin Temple", was an unprecedented success upon its release, and it was from then on that Jet Li became famous overnight and became popular all over the country.
Jet Li's childhood and martial arts enlightenment
Jet Li's martial arts career began when he was 8 years old, when Jet Li was selected into a well-known martial arts school and began rigorous training.
His martial arts skills have improved rapidly and he has achieved remarkable results in various competitions.
Jet Li has a talent for martial arts and is willing to work hard, and at the age of 9, he was able to perform martial arts at the opening ceremony of an international table tennis event, which is really a young hero!
Jet Li won the junior championship in the Chinese wushu competition at the age of 11, and won the national wushu competition in the following years, and was known as the "martial arts prodigy".
In 1979, Jet Li bid farewell to the martial arts arena due to injury, and since then, Jet Li's career as a kung fu actor has begun.
In 1980, he starred in "Shaolin Temple", which was the first work of his acting career, and this work became popular all over the country as soon as it was broadcast!
On the basis of the success of "Shaolin Temple", Jet Li continued to star in a series of kung fu movies, such as "Shaolin Kid", "North and South Shaolin" and so on.
His films have captivated audiences around the world with their authentic martial arts action, wonderful plots, and profound cultural connotations.
The Road to Hollywood
In the 1990s, Jet Li's vision expanded to Hollywood, and in 1998 he had his first Hollywood film, Lethal Weapon 4, which shined even though he was not the protagonist.
He then starred in a series of action movies that gained a foothold in Hollywood with his excellent martial arts skills and acting skills.
In the 2000s, Jet Li's career reached new peaks, and his starring films such as "Hero" and "Huo Yuanjia" not only achieved great success in Chinese mainland, but also won widespread international acclaim.
In addition to being an actor, Jet Li is also actively involved in the production and directing of films.
His 2002 film "Chinese Heroes" became a classic in the history of Chinese cinema, not only a huge success at the box office, but also won many domestic and foreign awards.
Jet Li's success is not accidental, and his hard work, perseverance, and love for martial arts are the keys to his success. His filmography is deeply moving, bathing in the glory of Chinese martial arts.
His life and career are legendary, and his life story has inspired countless people to pursue their dreams and has become a benchmark for a generation.
Emotional life
But he is such a very successful person in his career, and he has also experienced several twists and turns in the word relationship.
Jet Li has been through two marriages, his first wife Huang Qiuyan is his sister, Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan's relationship began during their martial arts training period, when the two studied martial arts at Shichahai Sports School in Beijing.
Huang Qiuyan is also a leader in the martial arts world, having won the Beijing Women's Snake Boxing and Sword Fighting Championship.
The relationship between them was not clear at first, but Huang Qiuyan's care and concern for Jet Li as a senior sister made the relationship between the two further develop.
The two started their acting careers together, starred in famous films such as "Shaolin Kid" and "North and South Shaolin", and became the "golden boy and girl" on the screen and in the hearts of many people.
They played a couple in the movie, and outside the play, their relationship also heated up further, and finally entered the palace of marriage in 1987.
Huang Qiuyan gave birth to two daughters for Jet Li, the eldest daughter Li Si and the youngest daughter Li Taimi.
However, this marriage did not last long, and Jet Li met his current wife Li Zhi three years later, and his love for Li Zhi also brought his marriage to Huang Qiuyan to an end.
After the divorce, Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan's two daughters were raised by Jet Li's mother in Beijing.
Jet Li once said in an interview that he didn't know what love was when he was young!
Until he met another woman, his blood vessels were boiling every day, he could die for her, he could not be famous or wealthy for her, and he could ruin the future of the so-called everything, he said that this is love.
While giving birth to two daughters with his first wife, Jet Li bluntly said that he was not in love with Huang Qiuyan, and he met the love of his life.
Maybe true love is really rare, so he would rather bear the infamy than pursue the love of his life.
But he also made amends, he gave all his property to his ex-wife and all his love to his current wife, Lizhi.
Jet Li and his wife Li Zhi met in 1989, during Jet Li's filming of "Dragon in the World". Although Jet Li had not officially broken up with his ex-wife Huang Qiuyan at that time, the relationship between him and Li Zhi soon became serious.
After Jet Li started a ten-year long-distance run with Li Zhi, he finally held a wedding in Los Angeles in 1999.
After getting married, Li Zhi chose to quit the entertainment industry and devote himself to family life, while Jet Li continued his film career.
Jet Li went on to succeed in the film industry after marrying Li Zhi.
Li Zhi chose to quit the entertainment industry, and Li Zhi gradually faded out of the public eye, focusing on family life and children's education. Their relationship has been very stable, and Jet Li has repeatedly expressed his deep affection and support for Li Zhi in public.
Li Zhi retired to the background, as Jet Li's virtuous helper, to help him take care of his family and allow him to devote himself to his work. She chose a low-key lifestyle, rarely appearing in public to avoid being the center of media attention.
Over the years, Jet Li and Li Zhi have always been in love, they travel together, and face all kinds of challenges in life together.
Now, Jet Li and Li Zhi's marriage has gone through more than 20 years, and in the past 20 years, the two have known each other and conceived two daughters, Jane and Jada.
Li Zhi attaches great importance to the education of his two daughters, and gives them the best resources to train them into top talents and send them to the highest universities.
Jane studied East Asia and economics at Harvard University and is actively involved in society, demonstrating an independent and positive attitude towards life.
She once said at the Paris Ladies Ball that she knew that she was the offspring of celebrities since she was a child, but she did not want to rely on her parents' fame to succeed, but hoped to gain social recognition through her own efforts.
Jada, on the other hand, suffered from depression early on, suffering from mental illness at the age of 13, Jet Li was saddened by what happened to his daughter.
Fortunately, with the passage of time and practice, his relationship with his daughter Jada has improved and his condition has improved.
Jet Li has a good relationship with his daughters, and he often takes them to events and takes them to the Paris Ladies Club. These experiences show Jet Li's love and support for his daughters, as well as the importance he attaches to their growth.
Later life
Judging from the photos released by Jet Li, the first "martial arts prodigy" and later the "Kung Fu Emperor" are old.
He is now old, his spirit is no longer in his prime, and the former kung fu superstar has entered the twilight of his life, but there are special reasons for his aging.
Due to long-term high-intensity martial arts training and film shooting, Jet Li suffered multiple serious physical injuries, and the medial ligament, two cruciate ligaments and lateral meniscus of his right leg were all ruptured during the filming of "Shaolin Temple".
These injuries have had a long-term impact on Jet Li's body.
In fact, as early as 2013, Jet Li was diagnosed with a disease, which made his body worse because of his martial arts practice.
It is also because of the disease that his body is swollen and fat, which makes his appearance age faster.
But Jet Li said he pays more attention to inner peace and spiritual abundance, and he once mentioned in an interview that as he gets older, he pays more attention to physical health and family companionship.
Jet Li has repeatedly expressed his feelings about life, age and philosophy of life on social media. His words often encourage people to cherish the present moment, care for others, and pursue inner peace.
epilogue
But in fact, Jet Li is not all like netizens complained, he is also a senior "public welfare person".
In 2007, he launched the One Foundation public welfare project for various charity and relief work. We hope to contribute our own strength to create a public welfare platform that helps people to the smallest extent.
Jet Li's life is full of legends and colors, and his story is one of perseverance, love, and dedication.
His filmography has not only made him a representative of Chinese kung fu cinema, but also a highly respected artist and public figure around the world, and his influence extends beyond the film itself.
