For fans of Chinese martial arts films, Jet is a family name. Born in 1963, it was the Kung Fu number one cinema star, known for its exceptional martial arts skills and her heroic presence on the screen.
For the Chinese audience, Jet symbolizes them traditional martial arts in cinema. He was even crowned “the king of martial arts” and was considered the leader of the “four great diamonds” of martial arts cinema, together with Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen and Wu Jing.
However, in recent years, Jet has moved away from the limelight, living a lonely life. It no longer acts in films and rarely appears in entertainment events. His last film role was a part of support for the 2020 live-action of the Disney “Mulan”, where he played a minor character together with Liu Yifei.
Although he retired from the screen to focus on his health, spending time with his family and practicing Buddhism, Jet occasionally appears to them with his wife and two daughters or participates in meetings with old friends in the entertainment sector.
A few days ago, a short video emerged online that shows Jet Li a Mount Wutai in Shanxi, China. In the clip, the “King of Martial Arts” is dressed in black, which wears a cap, which appears simple and low -profile. He was seen to leave a temple alone, without any sign of his wife or daughters. As the stairs descended, his steps were unstable and seemed to stumble slightly. His face and body seemed round and even had a visible belly.
After the spread of the clip, many fans expressed concern for the health of Jet Li. Flooded comments, “It seems that he is struggling to go down the stairs“,”Jet there is now an old man“,”His legs are no longer agile as before“,”Action stars and athletes quickly age due to years of surcharge“…
However, some Netizen stressed that it is natural for a 60s man to experiment with the drop in health and the slower movement.
In his youth, Jet pushed her body to the extreme and intensely training in martial arts and physical conditioning, which caused serious long -term damage to her body. Currently, it still requires hyperthyroidism drugs, together with the treatment for joint lesions, including ankle, wrist and pain in the spine. His heart condition, aggravated by hyperthyroidism, puts him at risk, pushing him to prepare his wife and children for the possibility of his disappearance.
At 62, Jet dedicated his time to Buddhist studies and meditation retreats in various locations. Because of his long absence from public life, he has often been the subject of voices of false death, leading to embarrassing situations.
Jet told them humorously, “When I was traveling in Tibet, a monk gave me a statue of “Buddha longevity” in particular. He said to me: “The whole world says that your health is failing. We were very worried, so we decided to give you this statue.””
A few years ago, some photos of Jet Li who seem fragile and aged like an 80 -year -old man shocked. To reassure the public, he later explained that the images were taken during his discussions on the philosophy of martial arts and martial arts in Tibet.
In 2023, during an event of sharing books in Taiwan, Jet confirmed that his health is still stable.
