Jet Li, a generation of kung fu superstars.
After filming "Huo Yuanjia", he quit the film industry, he said that this is his last kung fu film.
In fact, later, he also made cameo appearances in other movies, such as "Mulan", but there are not many martial arts actions, which can be regarded as friendship. As an audience, you can see Jet Li, mostly from some clips taken by chance from some passers-by.
You will find that Jet Li suddenly gets old, suddenly becomes fat, or suddenly loses weight, or suddenly has gray hair, in short, it has changed a lot. This is not an illusion, it is Jet Li's body that is indeed wrong.
Recently, in an interview, Jet Li rarely revealed his physical condition.
When he was young, because of the needs of filming, he had to train strong muscles, what six-pack abs to pursue, in order to achieve the effect, he trained until there was almost no fat in his body, and his vitality was greatly damaged.
Once, I suddenly couldn't breathe down, and fainted directly on the set, which frightened everyone present, and I was afraid, and I never blindly pursued six-pack abs again.
Later, Jet Li got hyperthyroidism again, which is why we saw that his eyes were particularly prominent for a while, and he had been taking medicine for many years, but he had heart problems after taking medicine.
Jet Li revealed in this interview that he has already explained to his wife what happened after his death, and he hopes that everything will be simple, no need to erect a monument or a funeral, and it doesn't matter if the tree is buried at sea.
Since he has explained the aftermath, it means that Jet Li has realized that his body is not good, and he may have an accident at any time, for so many years, Jet Li has been actively cooperating with ** condition, and after filming "Mulan" 5 years ago, no works have come out.
In this interview, Jet Li took out his new book "Beyond Life and Death" and excerpted a paragraph from the new book, from which we may be able to see Jet Li's understanding of life.
Here's how I dreamed early one morning that I was holding a knife and slashing at my opponent, and I tried all my best to kill my opponent.
Just when the fight was inseparable, suddenly, there was a strong white light behind him, and in the light was Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Although we didn't have words, I felt the Bodhisattva asking me, "What are you doing?"I replied: I want to hack my opponent to death, but somehow, I just can't hack to death
The Bodhisattva smiled and said with his thoughts, "Have you ever heard that someone can kill his own shadow?"」
In an instant, I stood still, and my opponent didn't move!It turned out that the opponent didn't exist at all, and I was actually fighting against my own shadow projected by the bright light.
When I woke up from a dream, my first thought was the concept of Buddhism, that all dharmas are created by the mind, and that all phenomena are projections of the mindThere was no enemy, but I created the enemy, and we fought with our lives, and we didn't know whether we won or lost.
The opponent doesn't exist, and who am I fighting against?”
The core sentence is that all laws are created by the heart, and everything is a projection of one's own heart, which is Jet Li's enlightenment.
Regarding death, Jet Li has been "killed" several times over the years, and every year there are reports that Jet Li died, and every time it is false, Jet Li laughed and said nothing after seeing these rumors.
has experienced peaks and valleys, Jet Li received the highest salary among Chinese people, but every time he finished filming, he felt extremely depressed because he couldn't find the meaning of life.
Jet Li said: "The turning point was the tsunami, when I was on vacation in the Maldives, when the tsunami came, not to mention saving my children, I had difficulties in saving myself, I couldn't solve the tsunami problem, so martial arts couldn't solve the tsunami, it was useless to be famous, advantageous, powerful, and powerful, and they all walked away equally before the natural disaster."
After experiencing this catastrophe of life and death, Jet Li knew that his goal was to transcend life and death, and by chance he met a master and began to study Buddhism.
Jet Li said plainly that he was very indifferent in the face of death, and he had already explained to his wife Chile, and everything in the future was simple, there was no need to erect a monument or a funeral, and it didn't matter if he was buried in a tree or buried at sea.
From Buddhism, Jet Li found his true self and understood the meaning of life.
