“One cannot choose how one’s life begins but one can choose to face the end with courage”

When I lived in Hong Kong, I felt that Hong Kong is my family.

In martial arts, the biggest enemy is self. Inside you struggle because you want to prove something.

Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope.

My manager introduced me to the ‘Rise to Honor’ team. I was curious about what it took to be involved in video games, a completely new form of entertainment to me.

I am so happy because I want more people to like martial arts movie not just martial arts audience. Even martial arts can be used in comedy, in drama, in horror movies, in different kinds of movies.

A weapon isn’t good or bad, depends on the person who uses it.

I’ve been learning martial arts since I was 8 years old.

I spend more time learning about Buddhism than English, which is why my English today is still bad.

My wife is the boss at home, and my daughters are the bosses. I am just the worker. We are a very warm family and very happy.

I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.

I didn’t go to normal children school. I went to sports school when I was 8. So I studied martial arts.

Hong Kong film audiences are very quiet. It’s their culture.

And lot of Asian audiences and reporters don’t like me to act as a bad guy. But I think I want to become an actor, I want to try different way.

I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.

I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.

You can beat me up, but don’t touch my hair, I will kill you!

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

The only joy in the world is to begin. It is good to be alive because living is beginning, always, every moment.

Life begins now — right now — not tomorrow or the next day or the next. Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins anew. That means everything can change in an instant. It also means you can have a new beginning whenever you want.

Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I’m getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you’re gonna let me in I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

Begin with an individual, and before you know it you find that you have created a type; begin with a type, and you find that you have created – nothing.

Every day, my daddy told me the same thing. ‘Once a task is just begun, never leave it till it’s done. Be the labour great or small, do it well or not at all.’

My day begins with gratitude and joy. I look forward with enthusiasm to the adventures of the day, knowing that in my life, All is good.

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.
