Talk:Jet Li

"As a national sports champion"

I removed the section as it was just one big quote from a book. The source is good though and could be used elsewhere in the article. Nymf _hideliho! 15:04, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Hero

How come there's only 2 sentences devoted to Hero, one of his most acclaimed and successful films, where he's got the leading role, whereas less significant contributions such as War and Lethal Weapon 4 are given more importance? How come it's not even mentioned in the introduction? And finally, why is it, along with Fearless, mentioned under "American Films" when they are both Chinese?

Bad Quote Formatting

So for some reason the quote is down a section and poorly shifts text out of it's way. To see what I'm talking about:

I've tried messing around a little with the quote tags to no success. Also, zooming in and out (in Firefox, ctrl+mouse scroll) gives some odd behavior.

Anyone know what gives? Naapple (Talk) 01:49, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

OK for me, with Firefox 12.0 and with IE 10. - David Biddulph (talk) 04:37, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

I've moved the quote box to the right. How about the current position? --Ushau97 (talk) 04:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Now it looks like this:

http://i.imgur.com/zZbLh4C.png

That's from my laptop (earlier was desktop). Exact same thing with IE. I disabled pop up blocker in firefox just to test it. Is it not doing this for anyone else? I've been editing for a little while and I've never seen this before. Naapple (Talk) 05:15, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Template:Tl is used per MOS:QUOTE, at present which is much better. --Ushau97 (talk) 11:10, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks. Naapple (Talk) 00:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Discrepancy

The article states both that "he only suffered a minor foot injury" and that "he was close to dying during the 2004 tsunami". I haven't checked the sources but it seems like a contradiction. 14.201.246.185 (talk) 23:21, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

It's not a discrepancy. He was close to dying, since the tsunami hit them on the beach, and it's luck he survived with a minor foot injury in the end. Teemeah ^{편지 (letter)} 14:41, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Naturalized Ecuadorian citizen

At least at one point, he also has held an Ecuadorian passport. Link in Chinese, as it is from a Taiwan government website, it is credible. Whether he has actually been to Ecuador is another story. In the 1990s, it is not unusual for mainlanders to pay for fake passports to travel abroad. For example, this link in Chinese alleges that basketball player Wang Libin paid tens of thousands of USD to get a Nicaraguan passport to play in Taiwan. Heck, even today, many illegal immigrants to Western countries hold South American passports. Timmyshin (talk) 16:11, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Picture rules

Under "Personal life" I see "Li (right) with Mark Zuckerberg". In the infobox he's alone, seems an obvious crop from that picture, also caption implies). Is it implied that Mark is in his personal life, e.g. a friend? Obviously it seems ok to crop, as in the infobox. But SHOULD it be done and they not shown together (even if they provably met)? I'm not too concerned, obviously they met (I'm not saying the picture is faked), and maybe both feel privileged to get their picture taken with each other, this is commonly done for say do co-actors in a movie. Is there any connection, because Mark isn't otherwise mentioned in the main text? Even if friends, a personal relation, maybe not easily provable, I do not think should be stated in that section, but say they are connected through One Foundation, then I guess something on the connection, is ok there, maybe even just the picture. comp.arch (talk) 09:50, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

two names

Why the difference between "native name" 李陽中 and birth name 李连杰? If he got a new name in adolescence (as is customary in some cultures), why is the birth name in the article's lead? —Tamfang (talk) 14:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Quotation marks

Some of the blockquotes in the "Views on life and martial arts" section have quotation marks while others haven't (at least on mobile browser). They also use different formatting (template vs no template). Might be good to have a consistent formatting. Nakonana (talk) 14:06, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Lead sentence formatting

Hi, I propose changing the lead sentence to "... is a Chinese, American and Singaporean martial artist and actor." We have already adopted this wording in the articles of Peter Lorre, Marlene Dietrich, Vladimir Horowitz, Max von Sydow, Conrad Veidt, etc. MOS:NATIONALITY says Lorre "Template:Tq" I mean, the cases of Li and Lorre are similar, right? Thedarkknightli (talk) 19:30, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Wouldn’t work because he renounced US citizenship in 2009 (after obtaining it in 1997). This is already sourced in the Personal life section (second paragraph). BlitzKreeg111 (talk) 22:37, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

He also renounced his Chinese citizenship and later acquired Singaporean citizenship. The lead sentence is fine as it is. BlitzKreeg111 (talk) 22:43, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @BlitzKreeg111, I'm well aware of that. Actually, none of the people I provided as examples held dual or triple citizenship. Thedarkknightli (talk) 00:38, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
