The former martial arts myth, a generation of kung fu superstar Jet Li, will forever be fixed in people's memories of those vigorous movements and indomitable spirit on the screen.
However, a recent photo taken by a netizen quietly revealed the story behind a tough guy who is no longer young - on Wutai Mountain, the former iron-blooded man was tired, and the picture of faltering steps made fans feel ripples in their hearts.
——【·Status·】——»
Recently, a video circulating on the Internet has sparked heated discussions among netizens, and the protagonist in the video is the once highly sought-after martial arts star Jet Li.
Jet Li, who has lived abroad for a long time, returned to China in a low-key manner this time and went to Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings.
The person who received Jet Li was Master Lin Hu, the senior monk and abbot of Wutai Mountain. It can be seen that although he has withdrawn from the entertainment industry, Jet Li's weight in the Buddhist world is still not light.
It is reported that he not only communicated cordially with the masters, but also took a group photo with his autobiography. This is undoubtedly a great affirmation of his years of devout faith.
However, what is surprising is that Jet Li, who used to have a strong hand and tough guy image, has now become struggling, moving slowly, and looks old.
In the video, we can see Jet Li wearing a simple black outfit and a hat, which is very consistent with his usual low-key style.
When he walked out of the temple gate of Wutai Mountain, the way he slowly paced down made it difficult to associate him with the martial arts superstars of yesteryear.
His left leg stepped first, then moved forward in small steps, heavy and sluggish. What's even more worrying is that the 61-year-old Jet Li has no one to support him when he walks, which seems to be a little difficult.
In addition to Jet Li himself, the recent situation of his wife Li Zhi has also attracted the attention of netizens.
Li Zhi, who was known as the "stunning beauty made in Hong Kong", is now getting older, and the changes are amazing.
However, if you understand Lizhi's life over the years, it may not be difficult to understand her changes.
According to Jet Li, after getting married, Li Zhi devoted most of his energy to his family and two daughters, and he made few friends.
In order to make his wife feel at ease, Jet Li handed over all his property to Li Zhi to take care of.
Since directing "Mulan" in 2020, Jet Li has not had any new film and television works.
In recent years, he has often led his family to worship the Buddha in Buddhist holy places at home and abroad, and it seems that he has completely shifted his focus to the Buddhist faith.
Although the change in appearance is surprising, for Jet Li and Li Zhi, who have been away from the entertainment industry for several years, the audience does not need to expect and comment too much on their appearance.
After all, everyone naturally changes as they age, and it's important to cherish the present moment and live it well.
As for his physical condition, people speculate that it may be related to his martial arts business.
——【·Early Years of Struggle·】——»
I have been filming action scenes since I was young, and I often go into battle in person, which will inevitably leave some disabilities.
In addition, in recent years, he has been plagued by diseases such as hyperthyroidism, and his physical function will naturally be much worse than before.
Although he is not old, Jet Li's aging speed has accelerated significantly, which is in stark contrast to his heroic image in the past.
Jet Li was born in Beijing into an ordinary working family, and his mother raised five children alone.
The poverty of his family made Jet Li sensible and strong since he was a child, and he even had to wear the old clothes of his sisters and brothers to school.
Incredibly, despite such a difficult family environment, Jet Li began his long and arduous path of martial arts training at the age of 8.
In 1971, Jet Li was discovered and entered the Beijing Shichahai Amateur Sports School, and since then he has started a professional martial arts career.
However, the effort he put in was far beyond the ordinary.
After 8 hours of training every day, he practiced his hands with sore feet and continued to practice with his hands folded, and he was never afraid of any hardship. Jet Li will practice each move hundreds of times more than others, until he is extremely proficient.
It is this unremitting hard work and perseverance that allowed him to finally practice a great martial arts and win the national martial arts all-around championship for five consecutive years.
However, fate is always merciless. In 1982, Jet Li was accidentally injured during training, and his leg was severely fractured, and all the medial and external ligaments were ruptured.
At that time, the doctor told him that although he had undergone seven and a half hours of surgery, he would never be able to become a top athlete. For a martial artist, this is undoubtedly the most brutal blow.
Despite this, Jet Li did not give up. In order to make ends meet, he was signed by the unit to a Hong Kong brokerage company, and he would earn an income for each movie he made.
However, there is an unimaginable clause attached to the contract: Jet Li must hide his injury for 5 years and continue filming.
In other words, he had to stick to the show in the midst of severe pain. It can be imagined how torturous Jet Li has been in the past 8 years.
It wasn't until 1998 that the contract finally expired, and Jet Li was free.
The next turning point came in 1989, when he participated in the filming of the film "Dragon in the World", working with the young and promising Stephen Chow.
Although the film was not a huge success, it led him to meet director Tsui Hark, who opened the door to a new career for him.
In 1992, Tsui Hark's "Once Upon a Time" made Jet Li perfectly interpret this classic image and became famous in one fell swoop.
Since then, his talent and charm have not only been highly respected in China, but also conquered the hearts of countless fans around the world.
The martial arts kid, who once struggled with poverty and injuries, has finally stepped onto the stage of international superstardom.
——【·Summary·】——»
Jet Li, the once popular kung fu superstar, has become the memory of a generation with his superb martial arts and deep-rooted character creation.
However, as time passed, he faded away from the screen and turned to philanthropy and used his influence to help those in need.
Despite his worrying physical condition, we expect him to recover and showcase his unrivalled martial arts charm once again.
