Known as the most successful actor in Chinese cinema history, Jet Li had to go through the many ups and downs of a martial arts star’s life.
For audiences who love Chinese martial arts films, Jet Li is certainly not a strange name.
Jet Li was born on April 26, 1963 in Beijing, in a family of five siblings of which he was the youngest child.
As a child, Ly Lien Kiet was often sick, so his mother sent him to learn martial arts at the age of 8 to train his body.
With the title of `martial arts prodigy`, Jet Li continuously won championship prizes in martial arts competitions.
The 1990s can be said to be Jet Li’s era.
Jet Li has two ghosts in his life.
Ly Lien Kiet fell in love at first sight when he met his 2 year older sister Loi Tri on the set of the film Long at Thien Nhai.
Even when Loi Tri’s real estate investment failed, Ly Lien Kiet rushed into acting, accepting `unremarkable` scripts to make money to help his lover manage his debt.
According to the actor, he married his first wife just to repay his love and it was not until he met this beautiful queen that he knew what true love is.
In 1999, the couple officially married in Los Angeles (USA).
By the time he announced his retirement, Jet Li had more than 20 years of working with art.
The real estate asset value of Jet Li and his wife is estimated to be about 1 billion yuan (equivalent to 3,500 billion VND).
At the end of 2011, this actor continued to add to his huge assets the amount of 308 billion VND – this is a huge profit he earned from participating in ‘Long Mon Phi Giap’.
Previously in 2020, when opening up to the media about his marriage with his wife – former Miss Loi Tri, Ly Lien Kiet said that his entire assets of about 300 million USD (about 7,000 billion VND) were owned by him.
It is known that this is also the promise that Ly Lien Kiet gave his wife when pursuing Miss Tri Loi: `From now on, I will give you every penny I earn.`
At the age of 60, Jet Li almost mysteriously `disappeared` from the media and the public.
Over time, the actor no longer retains the heroic spirit of the past, the image of `old man` Ly Lien Kiet is old with almost all of his hair shaved, only his hair roots are white, and his face is wrinkled and tired.
