Jet Li denies heart transplant, reveals daughter once suffered from severe depression

DƯƠNG HƯƠNG |

Martial arts star Jet Li directly denied heart transplant rumors, and also had sincere shares related to his daughter.

Recently, "Kung Fu King" Jet Li attended a speech in Taipei, Taiwan (China). At this event, he went with his youngest daughter Jada, 22 years old.

Appearing in public, Jet Li looks very healthy. He mentioned the rumors on the internet recently, and the father and son interacted very closely on stage.

Jet Li's 22-year-old daughter looks increasingly mature, very much like her mother Loi Tri when she was young.

During the speech, Jet Li first mentioned online rumors such as "replacing hearts" or "raising demons". He humorously shared: " Last time I came here, the first sentence I said was "I'm not dead yet". And this time, I want to affirm: "I'm not sick at all, nor am I replacing my heart".

He humorously added: "Tell me to replace people's hearts, my imagination is still too limited. Why don't you tell me to replace Huawei's heart, Xiaomi's kidney, or Tesla's components?

Jet Li said that from August last year, many rumors began to appear. If he had not shown everyone that he was still healthy, even he himself would have started to doubt himself.

He emphasized that he is just an ordinary person, everyone is equal, life and death are equal, so he hopes everyone will not continue to fabricate rumors anymore.

On stage, the 62-year-old martial arts star also sincerely told his daughter that he felt guilty for missing her child's growth process; and revealed that his youngest daughter Jada had a severe depression when she was young.

According to Jet Li, when she was 7 years old, her daughter's symptoms of depression were very clear. After school, she often hid under a chair in the house.

Before his son's situation, he felt extremely guilty because of work reasons that neglected his family, even feeling that he could not help at all.

Finally, after discussing with his wife, the two decided to give up some of their work schedule to spend time with their children, growing up together.

Treating depression for his daughter for Jet Li was a very long process: meeting a psychologist, meditating and studying Buddhism. Also from that time, Jada gradually became influenced by him, and changes in his inner self began to develop in a positive direction.

After Jada entered puberty, the two father and son spent 3 years going around the world together to study Buddhism. The father-son relationship became much closer, in life they are both father and son and like teachers and students, friends.

Speaking about his personal change, Jet Li said Jada was the best teacher beside him. She helped him learn to let go of his arrogance, gradually making him open his heart and accept a new person of himself.

Jet Li confessed: "It was because I had a daughter that I discovered I could sit and drink coffee by the roadside alone. My daughter made me give up the pride of a father.

Jada herself also confided that when she grew up, she always observed her parents and noticed that they became more relaxed and comfortable. After school, she could hear her father hum and sing, and feel the happy atmosphere in the family. Thanks to their companionship, she gradually became happier.
