Jet Li will appear on the cover of Time again.
Jet Li once again appeared on the cover of Time magazine.
Jet Li appeared on the cover of the latest issue of TIME magazine, and was hailed as the "The Jet Age" that turned from a martial artist to a philanthropist. Jet Li said: "It took me more than 20 years to realize that the most powerful weapon is a smile, and the most powerful force is love. Now I want to gather this power and pass it on to more people in need."
The last time Jet Li appeared on the cover of Time magazine was when he co-starred in the action film Hero directed by Zhang Yimou with Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi in 2002. At that time, he was an internationally famous action star, but now he is the founder of the One Foundation, and he has not filmed for more than a year. He traveled all over the world to preach the concept of "Everyone donates 1 yuan a day, connects into a big family and helps more people". In July this year, "One Foundation" raised US$ 13.7 million, and most of it was donated to help the victims of the Sichuan earthquake, which made it famous at home and abroad.
Today (December 2), former US President Bill Clinton held a summit of the world’s leading figures in Hong Kong, and Jet Li was invited as a distinguished guest.
He said: "Charity is not only my passion now, but also a part of my life. I wake up and open my eyes every day, thinking about it whether I eat or take a bath." Time magazine said that this spirit and action may not be as good as big stars such as Bono, a famous singer who helped African refugees.
Time magazine listed Jet Li’s top 10 milestones. Born in 1963, he won the all-China Wushu championship in 1974 and went to the White House to perform in front of President Nixon in the same year. In 1979, he retired from the martial arts world with a knee injury; In 1982, he made the first film Shaolin Temple. In 1991, he entered Hong Kong to shoot the Huang Feihong series. In 1998, he entered Hollywood to make the first western film "Lethal Weapon 4"; Zhang Yimou’s Hero was filmed in 2002; In 2004, he experienced the rest of his life after the South Asian tsunami; Established "One Foundation" in 2007; In 2008, I stopped filming and switched to public welfare.
Jet Li said: "I have to choose the three most influential films for so many years. I chose Hero, which taught me that compared with the national suffering, personal suffering is nothing at all;" Fighting Dogs (supervised by Luc Besson) made me understand that violence can’t solve the problem. "Huo Yuanjia" made me realize that a person’s biggest enemy is actually himself. "
This big star, who is known as the "Kung Fu Emperor" in the Chinese film industry, moved to Singapore with his family. If he doesn’t go abroad, he spends most of his time in an ordinary apartment in Beijing with the staff of the One Foundation.
Jet Li said: "In the past few years, I have learned from more than 20 Buddhist masters that only by minimizing my material desires can I get the greatest happiness."
