Recently, "Kungfu King" Jet Li suddenly posted on Weibo two photos taken with Xie Miao 33 years apart, with the caption: "In a blink of an eye, my son is grown up".
Immediately after that, Ta Mieu also immediately shared the post and replied: "In the blink of an eye, it's been more than 30 years, Dad".
The two not only recreate the intimate arm-up pose in the old photo, but also show a deep bond that has lasted for more than 30 years in real life.
This move immediately caused a social media storm, causing countless fans to emotionally comment: "Looking at it makes my nose sting", "It's truly a photo of the times".
In 1993, Ta Mieu, who was only 9 years old, was chosen by director Vuong Tinh to participate in the classic martial arts film "The new legend of shaolin", playing Hong Van Dinh - the son of Hong Hy Quan played by Jet Li.
With excellent martial arts ability and calm acting beyond his age, the boy quickly became famous after just one movie.
After that, the two continued to collaborate in "Letter to Father" (other name: Xich Tu Uy Long) and many other works. The image of a stubborn son and a cold father has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
At the beginning of this year, the two continuously appeared together. In January, they just recreated a classic movie scene in "New Shaolin Family".
The relationship between Jet Li and Xie Miu has long surpassed the father-son relationship on screen.
Not long before that, Jet Li filmed a video to cheer for Ta Mieu's new work "The Furious". In the video, he proudly said: "Ta Mieu's son has finally stood up to take on a new film genre".
In addition to expressing "Dad is proud of you", he also sincerely advised Ta Mieu: "Always be humble, then the road ahead can go further". The guidance and encouragement for Jet Li's juniors moved many people.
Jet Li frankly said that for many years, someone has always questioned him: "Why don't you help Xie Miu?". However, he believes that martial arts actors, when training and accumulating to a certain age, will naturally shine, just like Xie Miu of the present.
From the scene from years ago in "New Shaolin Wu Tổ", when Ta Mieu was lifted by Jet Li with one hand to act, to now, in "Cơn thịnh nộ", Ta Mieu also started to lift child actor Duong An Huu while filming.
This father-son couple, praised by the media as the "unique warm imprint of Chinese cinema," not only maintains close feelings in real life but also uses action to prove the inheritance and continuation of Chinese martial arts films.
Fury" is being evaluated as a work that elevates Chinese action movies in recent years. After its release, the film was both successful in terms of revenue and highly appreciated by critics.
Ta Mieu at the age of 42 has performed 300 fighting scenes completely without using stuntmen, no special effects, no quick editing.
Just one hour after its release, the film's revenue exceeded the 10 million CNY mark and reached 100 million CNY after 3 days of release; the score on Douban reached 8.9. The film also won a viewer-voted award in the Midnight Madness category of the Toronto Film Festival.
