Jet Li's life comes to an end - the legacy of a generation of martial arts superstars
1. Jet Li's legendary life
Jet Li, this name is undoubtedly well-known in the martial arts film and television industry. As one of the representative figures of 20th century kung fu films, his acting skills and action performances are well-known, and he has a large number of loyal fans around the world.
Jet Li, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, initially entered the showbiz in the 80s of the last century with his excellent martial arts skills and dazzling acting skills, and quickly became the protagonist of Hong Kong action movies. He starred in films such as "Enter the Dragon" and "Sword and Horse", all of which have become classics.
After entering the 90s, Jet Li gradually began to develop across borders, and he also had a good performance in Hollywood. His films such as "Earth-shattering" and "Jingwumen" have also attracted much attention in the North American market. With his outstanding acting talent and unique action style, Jet Li became one of the most famous Chinese stars in the international film industry at that time.
After the 2000s, as he grew older, Jet Li's status in the film industry began to decline gradually. However, he still maintains an excellent visual impact and often makes cameo appearances in the film. At the same time, he also began to get involved in behind-the-scenes production, trying to release new works as an executive producer.
Now, 61-year-old Jet Li has withdrawn from the starring role. However, he still maintains a fairly high reputation and still enjoys huge popularity among fans. It can be said that Jet Li is undoubtedly one of the representatives of the "King of Kung Fu" in martial arts films in the 20th century, and his legendary experience will also become a valuable asset in the film and television industry in later generations.
2. Jet Li's family life
In addition to his brilliant achievements in his acting career, Jet Li's family life is also interesting.
Jet Li has two marriages. His first wife was Hong Kong actress Huang Qiuyan, and the two married in 1982 and had a daughter. However, the marriage eventually broke down in 1999 and the parties announced their divorce. The reason for the divorce is said to be because the parties have incompatible personalities and cannot maintain the relationship.
In 2007, the 49-year-old Jet Li entered the marriage hall again and married the actress Li Zhi, who is also in the film industry. The two had a daughter in 2009, and now the small family is happy.
Interestingly, in Jet Li's two marriages, he actually gave birth to 4 daughters. In addition to the daughters born to his first wife, Jet Li also has three daughters from his second wife, Li Zhi. It also seems to reflect the kung fu superstar's colorful family life.
It is worth mentioning that in the distribution of Jet Li's property, he seems to be more partial to his second wife Li Zhi and his daughters. It is reported that the kung fu superstar has accumulated a fortune of about 2 billion yuan, and almost all of these assets have been left to the Li Zhi family, and Huang Qiuyan's daughter has not received a penny. This practice has undoubtedly caused a lot of controversy, and it has also caused some questions about Jet Li's family concept.
In general, Jet Li's family life can be described as ups and downs. While his career took off, he also experienced the twists and turns of his marriage, and finally chose the distribution path that favored his second wife, Lizhi's family. This has undoubtedly become another important chapter in Jet Li's life.
3. Jet Li's retirement life
Now Jet Li has entered the age of sixties, and he chose to gradually fade out of the starring role and entered the final stage of his career.
In an interview, 61-year-old Jet Li revealed that he had made detailed arrangements for the future. He said that he didn't need to erect a monument or do a funeral, even if it was a sea burial or a tree burial, he didn't care. This seems to reflect the martial arts superstar's indifferent attitude towards life.
However, in terms of property distribution, Jet Li seems to be very partial to his second wife Li Zhi. It is reported that the kung fu superstar has accumulated a huge fortune of about 2 billion yuan, and almost all of these properties have been left to the Li Zhi family, and the daughter of his ex-wife Huang Qiuyan has not received a penny. This practice has undoubtedly caused a lot of controversy, and it has also caused some questions about Jet Li's family concept.
In general, Jet Li is gradually withdrawing from the starring role and beginning to enter the closing stage of his life. He seems to be very indifferent to the arrangement of the future, but in the distribution of property, he seems to be more partial to his second wife and daughters. This has undoubtedly become an important aspect of Jet Li's life in his later years.
Fourth, Jet Li's social influence
As one of the most famous kung fu movie stars of the 20th century, Jet Li's achievements and influence are undoubtedly indelible.
First of all, Jet Li's starring works have undoubtedly become classic masterpieces of Chinese martial arts movies. His superb acting skills and unique action style not only deeply touched the hearts of the audience, but also set an important benchmark for the entire Chinese film and television industry. Many younger actors undoubtedly idolize Jet Li and strive to reach his level in martial arts scenes.
Secondly, Jet Li's rise has also become an important milestone for Asian actors to make a breakthrough in the Hollywood film market. For a long time, Asian-American actors were often limited to supporting roles or stereotypical roles in Hollywood movies. However, Jet Li's success undoubtedly proves that Asian-American actors also have the potential to show their talents on the international big screen. It also opened a window for other Asian-American stars to follow, paving the way for their careers in the Hollywood film industry.
Again, Jet Li's retirement life has also aroused people's attention to the life of celebrities in their later years. His indifferent attitude towards the aftermath and his partiality in the distribution of property have made the outside world question the values of the martial arts superstar. This also makes people realize that even successful stars need to face complex kinship and property disposal problems in the final stage of their lives.
In addition, Jet Li's career achievements also provide an important evidence for the status of Chinese in the international film industry. As an actor from Asia, he has not only achieved great success in his home market, but also shined in Hollywood films, which undoubtedly sets a model for Asian American actors to learn from.
In general, Jet Li, a kung fu superstar, has undoubtedly had a profound impact on many aspects such as acting career, Asian community status, and celebrity life. His acting works have become classics, his career achievements have set a precedent, and his later life has also provoked thought. It can be said that Jet Li's glorious journey in the entertainment industry will surely become a stroke that will always be remembered by future generations.
