Among all the martial arts stars, Jet Li is definitely a very influential person.
The early Jet Li was a national martial arts champion, so he had the honor of taking over the work of the Shaolin Temple, and after this, the hit of The North and South Shaolin pushed Jet Li to the status of a first-line male star.
If the early Jet Li works are put on the current release, it is definitely the top of the box office that is difficult to surpass.
Jet Li, who won the National Wushu All-Around Championship for five consecutive years from 1975 to 1979, starred in the movie "Shaolin Temple" in 1982, and the mainland grossed 140 million yuan at the box office with a dime of ticket prices at that time (CCTV report).
In January 1982, "Shaolin Temple" was released in Hong Kong, as the first mainland kung fu film to be released in Hong Kong, and in the complicated political environment at that time, "Shaolin Temple" set a record of 26.16 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. In one fell swoop, it broke the record for the highest grossing in the history of Hong Kong kung fu films.
After 1991, the "Huang Feihong" series achieved good results, creating classic roles such as Fang Shiyu, Zhang Sanfeng, Huo Yuan Chen Zhen, and Ling Huchong.
After 1997, he developed in Hollywood, USA, during which he starred in many blockbusters such as "Deadly Romeo", "Dragon's Kiss", "Daredevil" 1, 2, 3 and so on.
In 2007, he founded the One Foundation, which became the first private office fundraising association in China, and was awarded a United Nations passport by the United Nations for its contribution to the world's public welfare.
In 2008, Jet Li became the film emperor of the 27th Hong Kong Film Awards.
This is also the first time that Jet Li has been in the industry for 28 years and has been crowned emperor for the first time in the role of Pang Qingyun, who is also good and evil in "Submission of Names".
Jet Li can be said to be the top Kung Fu superstar in Chinese, and his kung fu films are many people's childhood memories and influence a generation.
As a star, Jet Li's acting skills have been ignored for many years, until nearly 30 years after becoming famous, he won the film emperor with a so-called "bad film".
The first sentence he said in his acceptance speech was to summarize his 28 years with emotion: "This road has been walked for 28 years, and finally came here from the stage."
In a later interview with reporters, he said: "Life is acting, I never thought I would win an award." I really came with a normal heart. ”
When the reporter proposed: "After acting for 28 years, the first time I acted in a literary drama, I took the film emperor, do you think that the previous 27 years of play is not a strong foundation?" Jet Li said: "I have never thought about this question, I just feel that life is my film, sometimes good, sometimes bad."
The term "Emperor of Kung Fu" is used to describe Jet Li.
Since his debut, Jet Li has brought us many classic film and television works, and each drama has shaped his classic image.
Although he doesn't shoot much now, he has slowly faded out of our sight.
Before Jet Li on a talk show hosted by Lu Yu "Lu Yu has a date", after a greeting,
Lu Yu suddenly asked Jet Li what his grandfather was, but when Lu Yu asked Jet Li about his grandfather's true identity!
Jet Li hesitated and said, "If I say my grandfather's name, I'm afraid you won't be able to broadcast this episode." ”
This answer has attracted the attention of countless netizens for a while.
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and quickly changed the topic, many people who have watched this episode of the show have gone to the Internet to look for it,
In the end, nothing was found.
Who was Jet Li's grandfather? It's still a mystery.
Huang Qiuyan is Jet Li's classmate sister, she has a good feeling for Jet Li who performed well in school, and Huang Qiuyan, whose family conditions are much better than Jet Li, takes good care of Jet Li, so after the sensation of the movie "Shaolin Temple", Jet Li recommended Huang Qiuyan to the director to star in the second "Shaolin Boy", which was well received.
Huang Qiuyan also became famous.
In 1986, Jet Li married Huang Qiuyan, divorced in 1991, and had two daughters, Li Si and Li Tim.
In 1989, he met Li Zhi during the filming of "The Dragon in the End of the World", and the two had similar interests.
Because of the lessons of the failure of the previous marriage, in order not to make mistakes again, Jet Li became more cautious, Jet Li said to Li Zhi: "After ten years, the feelings will not change, and we will get married." ”
On September 19, 1999, Jet Li fulfilled his ten-year promise to marry Li Zhi in Los Angeles.
Shortly after the marriage, director Ang Lee came to congratulate him and asked Li Lian to star in the new film.
At this time, Li Zhi was 3 months pregnant, and Jet Li rejected the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that later became a classic in order to take care of his wife, and pushed out five Hollywood films during this period.
Later, Li Zhi used four words to say how he felt about marrying Jet Li: "Don't waste this life!" ”
After going to the United States in 1998 to develop, he changed his nationality to the United States for the convenience of work.
It is said that it was because many places on the mainland passport could not be visited at that time, which was particularly troublesome.
Later, Jet Li himself said that in order for his children to better accept Chinese culture and Western culture, he eventually changed his nationality to Singapore.
For many years thereafter, Jet Li remained a Singaporean national, but with a United Nations passport.
In recent years, Jet Li has rarely produced works because of physical factors, but there is a topic that has always been in people's field of vision, that is, Jet Li wants to change back to Chinese nationality.
Jet Li has publicly stated that if he can change back to Chinese nationality, he is willing to donate all 10 billion yuan of his estate.
But to this day, the desire to return to the roots of the sunset leaves has not been fulfilled.
"Film Literature" said of Jet Li: Jet Li is one of the representatives of martial arts films, whether it is the "Huang Feihong" series of movies, or "Fang Shiyu" and its sequels, he has shown a talent for martial arts performance in the film. His kung fu combines strength and beauty, thus creating a martial arts aesthetic that organically integrates strength, speed and flexibility.
Jet Li's kung fu permeates the spirit of Chinese martial arts culture. He was trained in orthodox martial arts, so that the martial arts routines and postures were in place.
His martial arts movements are soft and rigid, agile and beautiful, and his moves contain a rich Chinese philosophical conception. Jet Li's kung fu shows his speculation deeply influenced by traditional Chinese culture, and has a kind of silent elegance. His moves are as beautiful as dance, containing a rich essence of Chinese martial arts.

It is a pity that it is not timely, and it is quite old, otherwise there will be no whales.
