62-year-old "Kung Fu Emperor" Jet Li recently revealed in an interview that he had already made a will long ago and that his family does not avoid talking about life and death at home.
On the topic of life and death, Jet Li said in the interview that as early as 2000, when he was still developing his career in Hollywood, reporters had already asked him if he had made a will. Jet Li said, "Actually, I started talking about it back then. Four or five years ago, when I went to Nepal, I was in a room with my younger daughter. She was holding a computer and said to me, 'Repeat the latest version again.' I asked, 'What?' She said, 'Your will.' That's how openly we talk about it. It's very normal in our family."
Jet Li admitted that he has frequently been the subject of false death rumors in the past and laughed that his family is already used to it. However, earlier this year, reports surfaced about his health deteriorating and images of him looking frail in a hospital bed emerged. It turned out he had undergone surgery to remove a tumor from his neck, but later rumors claimed he had undergone a "heart transplant" and bizarre tales of a "complete blood replacement to rejuvenate." He admitted that he has always believed in the saying "the innocent are innocent," but these latest rumors made him particularly regretful and saddened that a deceased martial arts monk was dragged into the gossip. He pointed out that such claims are not only medically unfounded but extremely unfair to the deceased and their families. "How would the parents and friends of the deceased feel when they see that? It's not ethical to the departed."
