Visited Wudang Mountain for the first time

Tuesday, Nov 29, 2011 6:00PM / Standard Entry

This past weekend, I visited Wudang Mountain for the first time to attend a meeting between wushu masters.

Besides having beautiful scenery, Wudang Mountain also has many grand Daoist temples and shrines.

I got to meet a bunch of enthusiastic young people who learn wushu on the mountain.

At the meeting between respected wushu masters, I listened to some of their wise thoughts and commentary on the state of wushu today.

I also signed an agreement to set up a Taiji institute.

UNESCO Charity Gala in Düsseldorf, Germany

Monday, Nov 28, 2011 9:37PM / Standard Entry

On November 19th, I attended this year's UNESCO Charity Gala in Düsseldorf, Germany. The event raised funds for the education of underprivileged children and recognized individuals for their significant, charitable contributions to humanity.

It is an honor to receive the Pyramide Con Marni award from UNESCO, and it encourages me to keep playing my part in giving back to society.

Flying home with this pyramid caused some trouble at the security checkpoints but nothing could ruin my buoyant mood!

Born in Beijing, Jet Li began studying wushu (the Chinese term for martial arts) at the age of 8. After three years of extensive training, Li won his first national championship for the Beijing Wushu Team. Jet Li was selected by the government to represent the country in over 45 countries by performing martial arts at various state functions. The most famous, in terms of history, was his 1974 performance at the Rose Garden of the White House for President Richard Nixon, after he had just reopened American diplomatic relations with China. For the next five years (1974-1979), he remained the All-Around National Wushu Champion of China.

Shortly after retiring from the sport at the age of 17, his film career kicked off with director Chang Hsin Yen and Shaolin Temple. Today his film credits include Lethal Weapon 4 opposite Mel Gibson, Romeo Must Die, The One, Kiss of the Dragon, Hero and The Warlords. He most recently wrapped photography on The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

Li is a Red Cross ambassador and founded the One Foundation, a Chinese-based organization whose goal is to develop China's nascent philanthropy industry. One of the main program areas is to help young people cope with mental well-being and find a balance in life.
