Jet Li's speech at Peking University

Jet Li's speech at Peking University not only made everyone admire his benevolent and righteous deeds, but also made people deeply impressed by his understanding of life and love and his attitude towards life. The theme of his speech: force is not the only way to solve problems, so what is the fundamental way to solve problems? It is the great compassion and love for life. This is the theme he wanted to express in his speech. This makes us deeply realize that the dazzling light of this star does not only come from his profound martial arts skills and first-class acting skills, but more importantly, behind the light, there is a heart of benevolence. He talked about his ups and downs in martial arts training and acting.

Jet Li gave a speech at Peking University, teaching students the "Heart Sutra"

Jet Li, who is a master of Kung Fu, also has a compassionate heart and the same unremitting thinking as a philosopher. After experiencing disasters such as the tsunami and the South Asian earthquake, Jet Li appeared at Peking University and gave a speech with the theme of "Caring for Life, Cherish Life". He mentioned words such as life and kindness many times. Just like those masters in martial arts novels who accidentally encountered martial arts secrets, it seems that every move Jet Li made in the martial arts world and on the screen before was pregnant with a certain epiphany of life many years later. He demonstrated his boxing and kicking at the request of the students, and then put away his posture and told people: "Life, love, friends and family are the coolest things." Perhaps this is the "Heart Sutra" that Jet Li, who "cultivates both inside and outside", has realized himself.

　　■ "Huo Yuanjia" is the last martial arts movie, but kung fu movies will continue to be made in the future

　　Jet Li, who officially became a Buddhist in 1998, has been committed to charity. He said that he was shocked when he saw a report that 280,000 young people committed suicide in mainland China in 2003: "China's economy has taken off, but people's spirits have become so fragile. This made me want to make a movie. I remembered the shock I felt when I watched the TV series "Huo Yuanjia" as a child. That spirit of self-improvement is equally important to modern people. So I decided to make the movie "Huo Yuanjia". To be honest, there was no commercial consideration at all in making this movie."

　　Jet Li, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, has been thinking about why he learned martial arts and what he can do after learning martial arts in recent years. He has concentrated these thoughts and his experience of martial arts in Huo Yuanjia. There are reports that this will be Jet Li's last martial arts movie. Jet Li affirmed this: "This is my last martial arts movie, because I don't know what else I want to express in a martial arts movie after this movie, but martial arts movies are different from action movies and kung fu movies. Not making martial arts movies does not mean that I will not make the other two in the future."

　　■Life, love, friends and family are the coolest things

　　Although Danny the Wolfdog is very violent, Jet Li always emphasizes that the presence of violence in his movies does not mean that he advocates violence. He always believes that violence is not the only way to solve problems, and this concept will be more reflected in Huo Yuanjia. "If you only know martial arts, but use martial arts to hurt people, then even if you are invincible in the world, you are no different from an animal. I hope to tell young audiences through the role I play that no matter how strong your kung fu is, you must understand the value of life. Life, love, friends and family - these are the coolest things. I hope to encourage young people through my life experience and movies that people must persist and have the courage to go to the end until the last moment of their lives."

　　■You can only prove that something is yours by giving it away

　　Jet Li said that because he had practiced martial arts since childhood and had a low level of education, he only believed what the adults said when he was young and rarely thought for himself. But gradually he found that material things could not solve all problems, and the meaning of heart in life was more important. Especially after becoming a Buddhist, he faced death several times and seemed to see life more clearly: "When the Indian Ocean tsunami occurred, I was holding my daughter. If the water was a little higher, I would have died. This year, I met the god of death twice. One time was when I fell from a high place in the house while filming "Huo Yuanjia". My internal organs were very uncomfortable. If I fell harder, I might have died. The other time was when I went to Tibet. I suffered from severe altitude sickness and couldn't breathe. I was breathing synthetic oxygen powder. I thought at the time, if I was given a can of oxygen, how many millions would I be willing to pay him?" Speaking of the recent South Asian earthquake, Jet Li said that he was on the return car at the time, far from the epicenter, so he didn't feel much. The brush with death made Jet Li think: "No matter how much fame and fortune a person has when he is alive, it is useless. You can't take it with you when you die. Therefore, you have to pay when you are alive. This is your own value."

　　Jet Li said that he has done an experiment many times, that is, when he has something, no one knows it, but when he gives it to others, they will say "this is given to me by Jet Li", "Therefore, I am just a custodian at ordinary times. Only when I give something away can I prove that it is mine."

　　■ Establishing a “One Fund” for charity

　　In order to help more people and promote mental health education for young people, Jet Li set up the "One Fund". "One" means that even if it is one yuan, it will become a large sum when everyone gathers together. "Of course, I invested money myself at the beginning, in my name, but it was actually my wife who paid." Jet Li hopes that through everyone's efforts, there will be a long-term plan for disaster relief, and not wait until a disaster happens and everyone steps forward, and then forgets about it after a few days. "In addition to helping those who should be helped in China, we should also provide more international assistance. This is the most ancient culture and spirit of our nation - the spirit of fraternity."

　　It is understood that this speech event is one of the stops of the "Sunshine of the Soul Project" sponsored by the Chinese Red Cross. Jet Li donated a total of 500,000 yuan to the Chinese Red Cross yesterday. In addition, the production company of the movie "Huo Yuanjia" has also decided to donate 500,000 yuan from the film distribution income to the Chinese Red Cross after the film is released to continue to support the Sunshine of the Soul Project. Jet Li will also hold similar speeches at famous universities in Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places.

Jet Li opens his heart in Peking University speech: This 500,000 yuan was donated by my wife

"I didn't donate a penny this time." When Jet Li said this, everyone was stunned. After hearing his explanation, they suddenly realized that he wanted to bring up a topic about beauty. He believes that what a man wants most is not just external beauty, but a woman's understanding, love and unlimited dedication. You are giving and she is also giving for you. That is the virtue of mankind. "Just like today my wife didn't want to show up, but she wrote me a check for 500,000 yuan. Really, I am very grateful to her, but next time I will take out 500,000 yuan from the box office of my new work "Huo Yuanjia" and donate it to the Youth Soul Sunshine Project." In order to help more children, Jet Li also hopes to establish a fund.

I'm just a custodian of fame and fortune

　　From the tsunami in the Maldives, the altitude sickness in Tibet, to the recent earthquake in India, all media have said that Jet Li has been unlucky, but after three experiences of facing death, he considers himself lucky and has a deeper understanding of life. "Now I have so much fame and fortune, but I am just a custodian. If the next generation strives to be successful, it's fine. If they don't, they will be lost. There is a line in Huo Yuanjia that I wrote myself. I wondered if it was too preachy, but if I didn't preach, people wouldn't know what you wanted to say, so I shot it at the end of the movie. This line is 'I can't choose the beginning of my life, but I have the courage to go to the last step.'"

　　Huo Yuanjia is not a final work

　　Jet Li wants to make Huo Yuanjia into an action-teaching film? He did not give a direct answer, but one thing is certain, he wants to use Huo Yuanjia to explain his psychological journey over the past 42 years, hoping that this movie can tell people to "keep improving themselves". He said that this movie expresses many of his inner feelings, including what martial arts is? Why practice martial arts? Which is better, Chinese martial arts, or Thai martial arts or Western boxing? "In fact, I am summarizing my life through a martial arts movie. After that, I have nothing more to say through martial arts, so this is my last martial arts movie, but it does not mean it is my last action movie."

　　Waiting for cooperation with Jackie Chan

　　But in his acting career, there has always been a regret, that is, he has never been able to work with Jackie Chan. "I just came back from India recently. Before I went to India, Jackie Chan called me and asked when we would work together to make a movie? From a commercial operation point of view, I think it is possible. We both want to make it, but we each have our own circle behind us, so it is difficult to do it. But I believe one thing, if there is a charity cause, we will not care about the pay and make it."

I have seen Jet Li's interview on "Art of Life". It's very good. This man has kung fu and good character. He has been taking care of his family since he was in sports school until now. The themes and content of the films he interprets are also good.

I admire them all, and the film is also very well acted.
