About Jet Li, his biography, achievements and some other helpful and unique information about him

Jet Li, Jacky Chan, Bruce Lee, Samo Hung and Donnie Yen(blade2) are some of the asian martial artists master that known and famous all around the world.

But Jet Li is exceptional. He's not just a great actor, but he's one of the best martial artist for me. Jet Li is China's treasure... literally...

The Chinese goverment gave that much respect for his multitalented kungfu style.. He won "5 times China Wushu Championships" which is stunning even for chinese people. He got his first title only at 11 years old. It's almost impossible to judge who is the best among Bruce Lee, Jacky Chan or Jet Li. But i think Jet Li deserves an extra point because most producer were purely impress with his Kungfu skills.

Yes, bruce lee and jacky chan can act and fight, but Jet li can slip in Hollywood top star because of his extraordinary Kungfu skills.
He's not that good in acting, frankly speaking(Romeo Must Die, Lethal Weapon 4) but his speed, technique and power awe the world..

I still remember Mel Gibson's n Danny Glover's comment on his speed n skill.. they "Worship" him, they could not believe his speed. Jet Li surely is a living legend... BIOGRAPHY

Nowdays, Jet Li already known worldwide for his skill, speed, and humble personality. He already put his hand prints in hollywood boulevard as a landmark of a great actor.

Jet Li is a tremendous martial artist, great actor and a very dedicated person. He really is a Hero for his country, he's one of the actor that made Asia proud.
