Kung Fu superstar Jet Li actually has four daughters, which many people don’t know. This is because two of the girls are the children of Jet Li’s ex-wife, Huang Qiuyan.
At the premiere of the movie “Mulan,” Jet Li appeared publicly with his daughters, Jane and Jada. These two daughters have flourished in the entertainment industry. In the eyes of many, Jet Li is a devoted father who dotes on his daughters. However, in reality, Jet Li is not truly a “devoted father” because he has two other daughters who have not received much attention from their father. Even in their adult years, they did not receive support from their father. These two daughters are the daughters of Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan.
## Failed Marriage with Huang Qiuyan
In today’s entertainment industry, mentioning kung fu superstar, apart from Jackie Chan, one has to mention Jet Li.
He stands out among martial arts actors. He has even appeared in “The Expendables” series, with many fans. However, when it comes to his family, it seems that few people talk about it in depth. At most, it is said how loving Jet Li is towards his two daughters with Nina Li Chi. But in reality, few people mention that Jet Li actually had a marriage before his fame with his childhood sweetheart, Huang Qiuyan, and they also had two daughters.
When Jet Li was still a young man, he met Huang Qiuyan. They studied martial arts together at the Shacha Lake Sports School in Beijing. Huang Qiuyan was a little older than Jet Li, so she was called his senior sister. Jet Li was passionate about martial arts, and of course, he was very talented. Combined with his diligent practice at school, he quickly stood out and won the national martial arts championship in three years. Of course, practicing martial arts year-round inevitably led to some bumps and bruises. So Jet Li was often injured, and Huang Qiuyan, as his senior sister, naturally took on the responsibility of taking care of him.
Seeing Jet Li achieve such results in just three years, Huang Qiuyan was happy for him. But at the same time, she was also worried because, despite being competitions, martial arts contests could also cause injuries. After winning the martial arts championship, Jet Li participated in various competitions of all sizes and suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Huang Qiuyan has always been by his side, carefully taking care of him. Jet Li also saw all of this, and over time, he gradually became accustomed to the care of his senior sister. The two young people gradually developed feelings for each other beyond those of senior sister and junior brother.
But living together for many years made them afraid to break the current harmony. Whether it was affection or love, they always maintained this relationship. Later, they encountered the casting of the movie “Shaolin Temple.” Jet Li was selected by the director for his excellent martial arts skills and handsome appearance, and thus entered the ranks of kung fu actors. No one expected that “Shaolin Temple” would be a huge success once it aired, creating a box office miracle that year. Jet Li’s value also skyrocketed due to the film’s popularity. Since then, Jet Li has often received gifts from fans, and he is often asked for autographs when walking on the street. Many young girls admire him greatly.
This made Jet Li quickly feel like the center of attention, so he had doubts about his feelings for Huang Qiuyan. Perhaps to make up for the guilt in his heart, Jet Li also introduced Huang Qiuyan into the entertainment industry, hoping that she could also join the ranks of kung fu actors. But unfortunately, shortly after Huang Qiuyan joined the crew, Jet Li was hospitalized due to filming issues. Without hesitation, Huang Qiuyan gave up the opportunity to film and went to the hospital to accompany Jet Li. Faced with Huang Qiuyan’s deep affection, Jet Li couldn’t bear to abandon her, so he reluctantly married her.
Later, in order to seek better opportunities, Jet Li decided to go to Hollywood in the United States. Of course, Huang Qiuyan went with him. By this time, Huang Qiuyan was already pregnant. Their development in the United States was not smooth, and Huang Qiuyan could only stay at home to take care of the children while Jet Li was busy filming outside. However, Jet Li eventually could not resist the temptation of the entertainment industry. Wherever he went, he was surrounded by beautiful men and women. Finally, in Hong Kong, he met Nina Li Chi and decided to divorce Huang Qiuyan. He left Huang Qiuyan alone in the United States to face life with their young daughters.
At this time, Jet Li was completely preoccupied and showed no signs of being a caring father. He only wanted to spend the rest of his life with Nina Li Chi. Nina Li Chi’s beauty was undeniable. Her beauty in her youth could be described as breathtaking. Any man in the industry who met her was captivated by her beauty. Jet Li carefully stayed by her side. Nina Li Chi was not reassured to entrust herself to Jet Li, considering that he had abandoned his ex-wife to pursue her.
So they made a ten-year agreement. If within ten years, Jet Li remained faithful to her as he had promised, then Nina Li Chi would be willing to marry him after ten years. Of course, Jet Li readily agreed and worked hard to fulfill this agreement. During this period, Nina Li Chi’s family almost went bankrupt due to business problems. Jet Li not only did not leave her, but also without hesitation, helped them out of trouble.
In the blink of an eye, their ten-year agreement had also arrived. Jet Li’s sincerity finally moved Nina Li Chi. Finally, they held a grand wedding in Los Angeles, USA. Jet Li did everything he could to make this wedding the most sensational. Shortly thereafter, Nina Li Chi became pregnant, and Jet Li took great care of her during her pregnancy. He sacrificed important filming opportunities to be by her side at home. After having two daughters, Jet Li was even more careful and protective of them.
Their family of four was a model of happiness in the entertainment industry. From a young age, their two daughters received the best education, constant private tutoring, and were taught various manners, enjoying the best material conditions. Of course, for Kung Fu superstar Jet Li, this was nothing. As their daughters grew up, Jet Li intended to guide them into the entertainment industry. At this point, Jet Li was no longer the worthless young man he was in the past but a well-established Kung Fu superstar in the entertainment industry. Many bigwigs in the entertainment industry were also close friends of Jet Li.
When their eldest daughter Jane was seven years old, Jet Li arranged for her to appear on stage as a dancer with Andy Lau. Many young stars may never have the opportunity to meet Andy Lau, let alone collaborate with him. Yet, at just seven years old, Jane easily achieved this under Jet Li’s arrangement. It’s important to note that this is the Heavenly King Andy Lau. With this, Jane had a high starting point for her future development in the industry. Now that the two daughters have grown into beautiful young ladies, Jet Li is keen on introducing them at important events.
The two daughters, dressed in elegant attire for the film festival, attracted widespread attention. Not to mention these formal dresses and various types of jewelry, even the various haute couture dresses they wear daily. These are things that ordinary people may strive for a long time to achieve, things that Lee Sze and Lee Tai-mei couldn’t even dream of. So who are Lee Sze and Lee Tai-mei? They are actually the daughters of Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan.
Initially, Jet Li resolutely left Huang Qiuyan alone in the United States. Although he left with just the clothes on her back, he didn’t leave Huang Qiuyan any property except for a mansion with a mortgage. After Jet Li left, Huang Qiuyan couldn’t afford the mortgage on the mansion. She had no choice but to mortgage and sell the house, and she and her two young daughters barely managed to get by in a small rented house. Jet Li later paid no attention to his daughters’ growth, let alone supporting them. While Huang Qiuyan struggled to make a living in the United States, Jet Li was devoted to Miss Nina Li Chi, faithfully adhering to their ten-year agreement. Huang Qiuyan had nothing to say except to blame herself for choosing the wrong person initially; her youthful sincerity seemed to have only moved herself.
As the children grew older, Jet Li’s fame in China grew as well. In order to give the children a better future, Huang Qiuyan had to swallow her pride and ask Jet Li to take the two children to be raised by his side, hoping they could receive a better education. However, Jet Li could not let the two children enter his new family again. So he arranged for them to attend boarding school, where they didn’t have to come home every day, and during holidays, they went to their brother’s house. The young children, far from their mother and hardly seeing their father, missed home even more.
Fortunately, their uncle treated them well, so they felt closer to him than to their father. Occasionally, elder sister Lee Sze would call her mother, expressing the pain of missing her. But the mother, who was far away in the United States, could only cry helplessly on the other end of the phone. As they grew older, they also harbored dreams of entering the entertainment industry. They wanted to pave their way in showbiz through their father Jet Li’s connections. However, they were met with verbal rejection from Jet Li, perhaps because he knew the ways of the entertainment industry and understood the power of netizens.
Once the two children entered the entertainment industry, his past would surely be dug up. His carefully maintained image of a good husband and father would also be ruined. So these two daughters gradually faded from the public eye. The only news that might emerge is that elder sister Lee Sze won the championship at a soccer competition. The hopes of these two sisters to enter the entertainment industry through their father are now dashed.
So, it’s said, you shouldn’t judge people by appearances, and you shouldn’t just focus on the excitement when considering matters. From the public reports, Jet Li is a true man who cares deeply for his wife and daughters, and he is very protective of his daughters’ growth. However, when you see Lee Sze and Lee Tai-mei, you can’t help but wonder. They are also Jet Li’s daughters, even if they were not born to the woman you love, they were born to the woman who once loved you the most, obedient and lovely daughters. Over the years, Jet Li has not only not been involved in their upbringing, but he also has no intention of participating in their future development as a father. However, perhaps they can shine in other fields through their own efforts.
