In recent years, martial arts superstar Jet Li has significantly reduced his artistic activities. The actor's health is often of public concern, especially after rumors about his illness and changing appearance.
Recently, Jet Li posted a video sharing about his current life and unexpectedly revealed that he is suffering from amnesia. The actor also talked about his numbness: "Numb, no more movement". Although his tone is quite gentle, Jet Li still reveals a tired, haggard look.
He also frankly said he wanted to temporarily put aside all work and do nothing. "Yesterday I thought I didn't want to do anything. If everyone hadn't kept urging me, it would have been good. Daily routine is full. I want to give up just one day and be bothered 10 times. I just want to give up, sleep all day," he shared.
Throughout the video, Jet Li almost collapsed on the table, his face clearly showing signs of fatigue. These shares quickly attracted the attention of the audience, especially in the context that the actor's health has been of concern for many years.
In May this year, during the promotion of the English book "Beyond life and death" in New York (USA), Jet Li once talked about prolonged injuries after many years of filming. He said he had been seriously injured many times when he was young, including spinal dislocation and broken ribs.
Because there are many old injuries left by acting and they make it difficult for me, I can't train like a normal person. I only practice Tai Chi, sometimes playing table tennis with my wife. We play not to decide the winner but just to exercise our bodies. Playing for about 45 minutes will sweat," he shared.
Jet Li also went through a period when his health directly affected his career. In 2013, he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Medication once caused his body to gain weight rapidly, his face changed, and his eyes became bulging. The actor once worried that his new appearance would make the audience no longer want to see him on screen.
Jet Li said he coordinated treatment with doctors, took medicine on time and used that time to train his spirit. He realized that complaining or fighting could not make his appearance return to the way it was before. According to the actor, it was one of the most difficult periods in his life but also helped him gain more experience in the process of inner self-cultivation.
However, Jet Li said that his hyperthyroidism in recent years has been controlled quite well. His self-reveal that he is suffering from amnesia continues to make the actor's health issue of public concern.
