He has always loved acting, poured his whole heart into this business, and has never been afraid of any difficulties.

However, while he was being treated, the disease quietly came. The ruthless enemy of cancer has put Li Xuejian to the test of life and death. But even when illness hit, he did not give up his love for his acting career. Despite his physical weakness, he insisted on performing live, interpreting the characters with real voices and movements.

In 2000, Li Xuejian was diagnosed with intermediate nasopharyngeal cancer during the filming of the movie "China Orbit". For an actor, this is undoubtedly a thunderbolt of news. His wife begged him to give up his job and concentrate on treatment, but Li Xuejian only hesitated for a second before firmly choosing to return to the crew. He said: "What I think about now is that I can't let the family wait, I have to let the family finish my scene first." This short sentence reflects his deep tenacity of "drama is bigger than the sky".
In front of the camera, Li Xuejian still plays the air commander with great enthusiasm. However, when he stepped out of the camera, he was transformed into a terminally ill cancer patient. For an actor, acting is what he is all about. As long as he can still speak, he will tenaciously play his role. Even if his voice is hoarse and his body is thin, he will never give up halfway.
During the filming, Li Xuejian received chemotherapy every morning and continued to shoot in the afternoon. This seemingly impossible state is the embodiment of his strong willpower. No one can feel his inner struggle, but Li Xuejian only knows to complete his work completely. In the end, with a tenacious will, he managed to survive the entire shoot.
