In an old temple in Nepal, netizens met Jet Li and his family by chance.
The photo of the encounter attracted a lot of attention on the Internet, mainly because of the change in appearance of Jet Li and his wife Lizhi.
Jet Li, a former screen martial arts star, now shows traces of time.
In the picture, his face is covered with wrinkles and old age spots, showing a kind of vicissitudes of life.
Behind his eyes, there are rich life experiences and deep stories. Although he wears glasses, he still can't hide the changes brought about by these years.
It is worth mentioning that his hairstyle is quite fashionable, a pigtail gives people a sense of unruly, seems to tell his constant young mentality.
Li Zhi, who is traveling with Jet Li, has also undergone remarkable changes.
Lizhi's face also shows traces of time, the skin on her face is loose, her eyelids are more relaxed when she smiles, and her short hair and black round glasses give people a sense of maturity and stability.
Although the change in appearance makes her very different from when she was young, she exudes elegance and calmness.
In particular, her inner peace looks very comfortable and comfortable, which may have something to do with her long-term practice of the Dharma.
The changes in appearance of Jet Li and Lizhi are the natural marks left by the years.
Although their faces are far away from the brilliance of their youth, there is something deeper in them-the wisdom and calmness that time brings.
Jet Li still maintains his unruly style, while Li Zhi is more mature and calm.
This change in them is not only a farewell to their youth, but also an embrace of a peaceful life now.
In their family, there is also Jet Li's youngest daughter, Jada.
Although Jada wears low-key clothes, the rings on her fingers seem to reveal her taste and family background.
When the master was talking about the teachings of Buddhism, Jada leaned close to Jet Li and listened attentively, which showed her respect and interest in the cultural and spiritual fields.
At a young age, she has shown a deep interest in cultural and spiritual fields.
Being able to participate in religious activities with her parents not only shows her dependence and love for her family, but also reflects her exploration and respect for the diversity of life.
These behaviors of Jada reflect her growth under the background of family education and culture.
Although the photo of this encounter is simple, it captures an ordinary and real moment of Jet Li's family.
These photos let the public see the intimacy and harmony among family members, as well as a witness to the passage of time and life changes.
In recent years, Jet Li has traveled to Nepal every year, and this habit has become a part of his life.
For Jet Li, Nepal is not only a distant country, but also the destination of his spiritual beliefs.
At this time of year, he goes deep into the temples of Nepal for soul baptism and spiritual practice.
When Jet Li first set foot in Nepal, his visit attracted a great deal of attention from the local media and became a sensation.
But as time went by, people in Nepal got used to the kung fu star's annual pilgrimage and his local image. He also changed from an international movie star to an ordinary Buddhist believer.
In 2024, Jet Li came to Nepal again, but this time he did not attract much media attention. He stayed in a hotel next to the Boda Hama Pagoda and his daily life was very simple.
Jet Li will walk around the tower in the early morning sun or discuss the Dharma with monks in the stillness of the temple.
In recent years, Jet Li has been troubled by a variety of health problems, which has become one of the reasons for his frequent visits to Nepal.
In his view, these physical discomforts and ailments are closely related to the cycle of cause and effect.
Buddhist faith gave him a spiritual comfort and gave him a deeper understanding and acceptance of life and death.
These days when Jet Li was in Nepal, he was isolated from the rest of the world, focusing on his inner practice and physical and mental recuperation.
His wife Lizhi and daughter often accompany him to experience this spiritual peace and tranquillity.
In the temple, Jet Li had more and more in-depth communication with local monks, discussing not only the Dharma, but also the meaning of life, the universe and existence.
Over the years, Jet Li gradually faded from the screen to seek spiritual nourishment in the Buddhist world. His belief is not only the treatment of the sick body, but also the in-depth understanding of the philosophy of life.
In the process, Jet Li realized a lot of the true meaning of life, which made his mind stronger and more peaceful.
Jet Li is making fewer and fewer public appearances, but he has found his own quiet corner in temples in Nepal.
There, he is not an international movie star, but an ordinary person seeking spiritual relief.
For Jet Li, the trip to Nepal is not only a practice of religious belief, but also a baptism of life and spiritual sublimation.
So much so that at the end of last year, Jet Li sublimated a big piece of news, that is, taking the initiative to confess the afterlife.
In an interview with the media last year, he frankly shared his views on life and death and that he was ready for his future.
"Life and death is the law of nature, and I am very indifferent to it." Jet Li told reporters like this.
In the eyes of many people, the hero who used to be omnipotent on screen shows a kind of detachment and serenity in real life.
He mentioned that he had discussed his future with his wife Lizhi and had made a decision:
"keep everything simple, no funerals, no monuments, only inform relatives and friends."
This choice of Jet Li reflects his deep understanding of life and death and his detachment from secular rituals.
His concept of life has been deeply influenced by Buddhist philosophy.
In his new book, beyond Life and death, he elaborates on his philosophical thoughts and his experience in learning Buddhism. This book is not only a display of his personal view of life and death, but also a witness to his personal spiritual journey.
In the book, Jet Li talks about his family, especially his young daughter.
He admitted that his daughter had suffered from anxiety and depression, which was a huge test for the whole family.
He described his daughter's lonely and painful emotional state and how his family tried to communicate with her and help her.
This experience not only shows Jet Li's struggle and helplessness as a father, but also reflects the universality of mental health problems in modern society.
Jet Li also recalled that when he was young, in order to pursue a perfect figure, he went on a strict diet and replenished special nutrients, which eventually led to serious damage to his body.
He recalled the experience of fainting on the set, which was a turning point in his body and mind.
This prompted him to seek the guidance of the Dharma to alleviate physical pain and mental anxiety.
Jet Li reveals in his book that he studied Buddhism not only for self-healing, but also to help others find inner peace and strength by sharing his experience and wisdom.
He said frankly that although he is not sure when he will die, he hopes to enable more people to gain spiritual inspiration and rebirth with the help of the book beyond Life and death.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Jet Li is "open". After all, he is guarding a lot of wealth, but he has such a body, who can not let it go?
As early as the beginning of his acting career, Jet Li won the love of the audience with his excellent martial arts skills and unique screen charm.
His outstanding performances in many classic films, such as the "Huang Feihong" series, "Shaolin Temple" and "the King of Kung Fu", have made him famous not only at home, but also internationally.
It is said that more than a decade ago, at the peak of his acting career, Jet Li's salary was as high as 65 million, which was undoubtedly astronomical at that time.
But Jet Li's wealth accumulation is not limited to his acting career.
His and his wife Lizhi's investment in real estate shows their unique business vision.
As early as when Shanghai's Pudong New area was still under construction and development, they keenly bought a piece of land.
Subsequently, the site was sold to Li Ka-shing, while they built three luxury villas in the best location.
This investment decision later proved to be extremely wise, because with the rapid development of the Pudong New area, land prices there have gone up.
In addition, Lizhi's investment in real estate also shows her business acumen.
She bought 56 hectares of land for the Beachfront Villas project, with an initial investment of US $10 million.
This strategic investment not only brings rich returns to the couple, but also enhances their influence in the real estate field.
In their private life, Jet Li and his wife have always attached great importance to their children's education and upbringing environment.
The siheyuan they bought for their two daughters in Beijing is not only a place to live, but also a space to inherit culture and educate their children.
In addition, with Jet Li becoming a Singaporean citizen, the couple began to pave the way for their daughter's education in Singapore.
In Singapore, the property they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on has not only provided a high-quality living environment for their daughter, but also accumulated a large amount of "invisible wealth" for themselves.
These assets, coupled with filming income, Jet Li has long been worth more than 10 billion, but still failed to restore his physical condition.
What Jet Li talks about most in front of the camera is his hyperthyroidism.
The disease of hyperthyroidism is undoubtedly a great challenge for an action star.
It will not only cause a variety of physical discomfort, such as palpitations, sweating, weight loss, and even exophthalmos and eyelid edema and other symptoms, but also have a significant impact on the appearance of patients.
In order to alleviate the disease, Jet Li tried a variety of different treatments.
However, the long-term use of drugs and the disease itself have led to obvious changes in his body, which once aroused widespread concern.
In the photos posted online, he looks thin, pale and even slightly hunched, which makes fans and netizens who care about him feel very distressed.
In the face of all kinds of speculation and concern about his health, Jet Li himself showed considerable composure.
He once said,"Because I don't make movies, people say I'm disabled and sick." Who isn't old? I'll miss youth too. Aging is normal."
These words reveal his open-minded attitude towards life and profound self-awareness.
In addition to the troubles caused by hyperthyroidism, Jet Li's body is also burdened with scars left by filming action movies over the years.
From a dislocated spine and a cracked lumbar spine to a broken nose, to seven broken ribs, these are the scars he left during the shooting.
These injuries are not only physical sufferings, but also have a profound impact on his psychology.
Jet Li even lamented that he was not far from death, which is undoubtedly a profound reflection on his glorious past.
However, some netizens pointed out that they were also shooting martial arts plays, why Jackie Chan's health was better, but Jet Li was "scarred" in his old state.
Is this related to the "guilty deeds" he had done, so he suffered from the "torture" of his heart in his old age? This refers to the past of Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan.
In 1989, Jet Li and Lizhi met on the set of Dragon at the end of the World, and their destinies have been intertwined ever since.
Jet Li, who was already the star of the martial arts movie, married his elder sister Huang Qiuyan and was about to have a second child.
However, when he met Lizhi, a beautiful and popular actress, his mood was shaken.
Lizhi's beauty and charm seemed irresistible to Jet Li. Although his wife Huang Qiuyan silently supported him at home, the relationship between Jet Li and Lizhi deepened day by day.
Long separation and rare communication have made the relationship between Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan fragile.
Jet Li asked Huang Qiuyan for divorce on a phone call and decided to follow his heart.
Lizhi is not a woman who can be captured easily. She had entangled with the king of gambling and put forward a ten-year waiting condition for Jet Li, testing their relationship.
Jet Li showed great determination and sacrifice in his love for Lizhi. "I can give up everything for her." He said.
Ten years of waiting finally came to a successful end in 1999.
Jet Li and Lizhi held a simple but warm wedding, although only a small number of relatives and friends attended
But their marriage has become the focus of media and public attention.
The attitude of the Hong Kong media towards this marriage is ironic, saying that "a thousand pounds of love is not as good as four taels of chest."
To describe Jet Li's decision to give up his wife.
The love story between Jet Li and Lizhi, though controversial, is also a challenge to traditional ideas and morals.
For decades, in the face of criticism and misunderstanding, Jet Li and Lizhi still cling to each other's love and have gone through the vicissitudes of life together, while ex-wife Huang Qiuyan has also remarried.
But until today, if we look at Jet Li's wealth of 10 billion yuan, it is accompanied by the state of "worshiping Buddha and praying for God". Is there any element of "repentance"?
