Jet thanks everyone for the kind wishes and would like to share a gift from his friend Vincent Lee with everyone here, along with this message:

"Thank you everyone for your wishes. For the past 46 years, I have been searching for the meaning of life. But now, I know that I can do my best to help our global family, our ONE family. Thank you for being with me here, and let's join hands to build a better future."

Corcovado

Took us awhile to get to the statue, but unfortunately a cloud drifted in just as we got to the top. A game of hide and seek ensued as we tried to snap pictures of Jesus when his face peeked through gaps in the cloud, but results were pretty mixed. Cloud wins the day, but we'll bring faster cameras next time.

Before arriving on Corcovado Hill we stopped by a nearby mountain top to take in the view. Brazil's beauty was absolutely stunning. Jet and the crew at the top:

Hungry bee

While standing in line on Corcovado Hill, we bought some soda from vendors. It was a hot day, and apparently bees nearby were as thirsty as we were. After Jet opened his coke a bee crawled in unnoticed. Jet takes a swig and rather unceremoniously spits out the coke along with the bee. In the end both were OK-Jet didn't get stung and the bee shrugged off the soda and flew away.

BBQ in Rio

BBQ: We went to what was recommended as Rio's best BBQ. Jet wasn't very familiar with the different types of meat, so the poor guy in green ended up eating most of Jet's "try outs"

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.
