Li Lianjie, better known by his stage name Jet Li, is a well-known Chinese actor. Li Lianjie has gained global renown for his superb martial arts talents and depictions of noble, humble heroes. He was formerly considered the heir apparent to the original master Bruce Lee. When Li Lianjie was eight years old, he enrolled in a summer sports program at Beijing Shichahai Sports School and was randomly assigned to a wushu (martial arts) class. He then spent half of each day training and half of each day in school before starting full-time training. He toured the United States in 1974 with other young martial artists, meeting President Richard Nixon at the White House. Li Lianjie won his first national wushu championship the same year. After earning five gold for the Beijing Wushu Team at the 4th National Games of China in 1979, Li Lianjie retired from the sport owing to a knee injury. His sporting success propelled him into a career as a martial arts film star.

In 1980, Li Lianjie played Jue Yuan, a young man who studies martial arts from the monks at the historic Shaolin Temple, in Hong Kong filmmaker Zhang Xinyan's film Shaolin Temple ( Shàoln S) (the legendary birthplace of Chinese martial arts). In the Chinese-speaking world, the film was a major hit (with two sequels) and is credited with reigniting interest in Chinese martial arts. The local distributors decided Li Lianjie's name was too difficult to say when the film was released in the Philippines in 1982, so they gave him the stage name Jet Li. He followed up his triumph with appearances in a number of films that were all box office hits in the 1980s. Then, in filmmaker Tsui Hark's 1991 epic drama Once Upon a Time in China (Huáng Fihóng zh Zhuàng Zh Lng Yn), Li Lianjie played the historical martial arts expert Wong Fei-hung, who fought against injustice and foreign intrusion at the end of the Qing era.

At the age of twelve, he won his first national championship. He was requested to join the Beijing Wushu Team shortly after, where he trained with Wu Bin, the same martial arts instructor who had noticed and mentored Li Lianjie (Jet Li). Yuen Woo-ping, one of Hong Kong's most prominent action choreographers and directors, traveled to Beijing in 1995 looking for a martial artist to star in his new film Tai Chi Boxer (Gngf Xiozi Chung Qng Gun), and Wu Jing was cast after Wu Bin recommended him.

You'll marvel why Wang Baoqiang's success story hasn't already been adapted for the big screen.

Wang Baoqiang was born in 1982 in Xingtai, Hebei Province, to a poor peasant family. When he was eight years old, he saw the smash hit Shaolin Temple (Shàoln S) (1982) starring Jet Li when it was shown in his village. This film motivated a young boy who had been bullied by other children to one day become a Chinese kungfu celebrity. Against his family's wishes, he began martial arts training at the legendary Shaolin Temple the same year. Wang Baoqiang had to get up at 5 a.m. in the winter and 4 a.m. in the summer to run half-marathons and climb 45-degree cliffs as part of his training from the age of 8 to 14. He imagined himself as a movie star after completing the program.

Wang Baoqiang had not appeared in a film in 6 years. He decided to travel to Beijing and use his great kungfu talents to try his luck in show business. He was 14 years old and had only 500 RMB in his wallet (about 70 US dollars). Every morning, Wang Baoqiang would line up at the Beijing Film Studio's front gate with other extras hoping to earn acting assignments. He was hired as an extra, although he was only paid 25 RMB per day (about 3 US Dollars). When his savings ran out, he was forced to work as a construction laborer.

At the age of 20, director Li Yang noticed Wang Baoqiang and cast him in the independent film Blind Shaft ( Máng Jng), giving him his first leading role (2003). The film is based on true murder and extortion events that occurred in a Chinese coal mine. Wang Baoqiang was a natural fit for the character of a young miner, winning Best New Performer at the Golden Horse Film Festival in Taiwan, as well as two Best Actor Awards in France and Thailand.

Despite the fact that the film was not a martial arts feature and Wang Baoqiang was not granted the role he desired, this fortunate break led to other opportunities in the Chinese film business for the ambitious actor. When he met legendary director Feng Xiaogang, everything changed: Wang Baoqiang would star in his 2004 new year picture A World Without Thieves (Tin Xià W Zéi), against renowned names in Chinese showbiz as Andy Lau, Rene Liu, Ge You, and Li Bingbing. For his role as Sha Gen, a naive rural youngster, he won significant critical accolades. Wang Baoqiang became famous overnight as a result of the film.

Following the tremendous success of Soldiers Sortie (Shbng TJ) (2006) and My Brother's Name is Shun Liu (W de Xiào Shùn Li) (2007), Wang Baoqiang reinforced his status by acting in two military dramas (2009). The TV series had a huge impact on many parts of Chinese people's lives, and its worth went much beyond that of a television show. Wang Baoqiang, the principal actor, became one of China's most well-known actors, appearing on the front pages of all major publications. His trademark grin appeared on countless magazine covers and other media platforms.
