In this way, the group waited on the top of the mountain for several hours before the sea slowly calmed down. The tour guide subsided before carefully descending to the beach to confirm that there was no danger for the time being

Jet Li sent an assistant to take the nanny and his daughter to find housing, and then inquired about his wife's whereabouts through various channels. With the help of friends, I finally found my wife, and thankfully, she didn't suffer any harm. When the husband and wife saw each other, they burst into tears.

However, the good times did not last long, and everyone's tense nerves did not have time to relax, and then they got the news: the tsunami was triggered by an earthquake, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake occurred off the northwest coast of Sumatra Island, and the tsunami caused by the earthquake spread to several countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia, causing serious casualties. The Indonesian government also expects a second bigger wave at 3 a.m. today.

The news is like a time bomb, stirring up people's hearts that have not yet settled down. According to the arrangement of the hotel owner, all the passengers came to the lobby, and everyone was ready to face the life and death situation together, hand in hand. As a precaution, the hotel owner also distributed chocolate and mineral water to be strapped to each person, in case they were washed out of the sea and drifted.

Fortunately, the second wave was not as strong as one might have predicted. The sea only reached everyone's heels, and then it stopped rising. But even so, after the disaster, two-thirds of the entire Maldives became a sea of seas, and the Maldives was once left without a communication signal, and all means of transportation were forced to stop.

And this has made all Jet Li's relatives and friends anxious, and all his fans.

December 26, 12:23, Treasure Island. In Uncle Lianjie's agency, the most anxious person is Uncle Lianjie's manager, who has been trying to contact Uncle Lianjie since he learned about the disaster in the Maldives from TV, but has not heard anything from him except for the casualty report on TV.

According to the news, the earthquake was the fifth largest earthquake in the world since 1900. By the time the news aired, 15 people had lost their lives in the Maldives and thousands of fishermen and seafarers had gone missing at sea. More than 1,600 kilometers from the epicenter of the earthquake, Sri Lanka, and the neighboring southern coast of India, nearly 7,000 people have died, hundreds of dead bodies have floated on the beaches of various places, and more than 1 million people have been affected by the disaster, and have had to leave their homes and live on the streets. Due to the loss of communications in the affected areas, the situation is not yet very clear, and the actual number of casualties continues to rise.

Every word in the announcer's mouth was like a needle, piercing deeply into everyone who cared about Uncle Lian Jie.

On December 26, Uncle Lian Jie's friends, on the afternoon after the tsunami, knew that Uncle Lian Jie was on vacation in the disaster area, so they inquired about Jet Li's whereabouts through various channels. The famous director Tsui Hark, in order to find out about Jet Li's situation, used all his friends' relationships. He also reassured others that although the outcome was not yet known, he believed that they were safe and that it might just be a matter of communication.

His mentor Zhang Xinyan learned about Jet Li's situation through reporters, and he immediately called Jet Li's hometown in Beijing to inquire about Jet Li's whereabouts and comfort Jet Li's family. Zhang Weiping, the boss of New Picture Pictures, who has cooperated with Jet Li, inquired about Jet Li's news through friends while stabilizing the mentality of the media. When the reporter interviewed him, he told the reporter: "Although I don't know the whereabouts of Jie Tsai yet, I hope you don't spread the unconfirmed news casually, we are all trying to contact them, please don't let those fake news affect everyone's mood and work." ”

As of 15:00 on December 26, on the Internet, in the 30 hours since Uncle Lian Jie's disappearance, various rumors are also flying. Some people rumored that Jet Li had been killed and died, and all kinds of news were rampant, making it impossible to tell which one was true and which one was false. The situation at that time was probably like this, it was around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and a website comment page once posted a gossip posted by netizens, saying that Uncle Lian Jie had been "killed". The news was immediately reprinted by other websites, and for a while, this kind of gossip could be seen everywhere on the Internet. Many Jet Li's fans believe it to be true, and there are voices of mourning and nostalgia.

But some fans said they would never believe this rumor.

Some netizens once left a message on the post, "I don't believe he is gone, he has always loved to do good deeds, good people will definitely have good rewards, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." Some fans said: "He believes in Buddhism, and I believe that the Buddha will bless him." Some die-hard fans of Uncle Lian Jie couldn't help but call the agency to verify the accuracy of the news, and everyone was praying that he would survive this disaster safely.

Minutes and seconds passed, and in the blink of an eye, a few more hours passed, and still no new news came out. Many fans began to believe the news on the website, and began to express their condolences and nostalgia for Uncle Lian Jie, and for a while, sadness shrouded the hearts of netizens.

It wasn't until 3 p.m. on December 27, more than 30 hours after the tsunami, that traffic in the Maldives finally returned to normal and the airport announced the lifting of the ban. Uncle Lian Jie finally got in touch with the outside world. As soon as possible, he called his agent to inform Ping An of it, and then called back to his hometown.

On the other end of the phone, it was his sister Lianzhu. After a life-and-death parting, the relationship between the siblings became deeper.

She told me that she was holding the microphone for a long time, and she couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't believe that I could miraculously survive, and she was so excited that she cried, and I could listen to it over the phone. ”

Uncle Lian Jie said this, a faint smile appeared on his face.

This exciting moment was repeated in different places at the same time.

The news that Uncle Lian Jie is still alive was first released to the outside world by the public relations person in charge of Huaxia Star Film Company, and he officially announced to all fans and media who care about Jet Li: Uncle Lian Jie and his family are very safe in the Maldives, and they have moved to a hotel far away from the sea for a while, and the situation is relatively stable. The loss of communication with the country was due to the impact of the disaster on communications facilities. He also revealed that after the disaster subsides, once transportation is restored, Uncle Lian Jie and his family will return to China to reunite with relatives and friends. Uncle Lian Jie also asked the people of the company to tell the fans: Thank you for your concern for him.

In the tsunami of Southeast Asia, which shocked people all over the world, Uncle Lian Jie once again created a miracle of life. Soon, Uncle Lian Jie got in touch with the agent again, saying that he was going to take a flight back to Hong Kong Island in a few days.

However, once again, the Maldives airport was also affected by the earthquake and tsunami, and air tickets were not available for a while, and it took a few days before it reopened to the public, and many surviving tourists were scrambled to leave the country. Jet Li waited a few more days before taking a flight back to Hong Kong. When the plane landed safely at Hong Kong Island Airport, Uncle Lian Jie actually had a feeling of rebirth. He said with emotion: "The feeling of the existence of life is not something that everyone can experience. ”

On January 7, 2005, the entertainment industry launched the "Love Without Borders Extravaganza" to save the victims of the tsunami in Southeast Asia. There were many entertainers present this time, including Andy Lau , Jacky Cheung , Li Ming , Liang Yongqi , Kwong Meiyun , Yu Wenle , Wu Junru , Zheng Shaoqiu , Zhang Huimei , Miriam Yeung , Han Hong , Chen Yixun , Aaron Kwok, etc., while Faye Wong , Zheng Xiuwen , Zhou Xingxing did not appear in person, but pre-recorded clips were played on the spot. Uncle Long lent a car with a JC license plate for the singers and staff to enter and leave the venue.

The show starts at 4 p.m. and will continue into the evening with an 11-hour marathon show. At the beginning of the show, the MV of the theme song "Love" was broadcast, which was kicked off by a grasshopper, and then the singers sang one after another to call for donations.

Uncle Lian Jie escaped death, experienced nearly 30 hours of loneliness without being able to get in touch with the outside world, and then received the care of friends from all over the world, all of which made him feel that people know no borders, no language, as long as there is love, there will be warmth. At the party, Uncle Lian Jie decided to initiate the establishment of "One Fund", in the spirit of one person, one month, and one dollar, to continue the love of mankind.

"If each person donates one yuan a month, it can continue for generations to come, and it can benefit many people. I hope that from now on, the marathon will be extended to the next generation, and I hope that the people of Xiangjiang and the entire Chinese nation will support it!"

Subsequently, Uncle Lian Jie stood up and took the lead in donating 1.4 million to his wife and Huaqiang and his wife. He also said that he would make a European and American tour appeal to make the fund work as soon as possible.

At the party, people paid more attention to Jet Li's legendary experience in the Maldives, lamenting that he was able to escape the disaster by practicing good kung fu.

In fact, it is not as everyone imagined, Jet Li still has lingering palpitations when he talks about that experience.

"That day, I was playing on the beach with my daughter and my nanny, and suddenly a big wave came over, and there was a whirlpool, and I couldn't stand, so I hugged my daughter with one hand and grabbed my aunt with the other, and ran forward desperately. In less than a few minutes, the water was already rushing towards me, quickly flooding my neck, and looking back at the nanny, she had already drunk the water. I was faced with the hardest decision of my life, whether to let go and run for my life alone, or to keep going. But this thought was only fleeting, and when I saw my daughters who were more afraid than myself, I chose to live and die with them. ”

This is Uncle Lian Jie's original words, said in front of Zhou Fangyuan.

In fact, when everyone is facing death, their hearts are full of fear, and they can't take care of others at all. And after a short hesitation, he made the decision to live and die with his daughter's nanny, which shows that he is extraordinarily rational and brave. In the face of disaster, Uncle Lian Jie lamented that although he practiced good martial arts, he was powerless in the face of nature's catastrophe.

This escape from death is not based on his kung fu, but on luck, which is auspicious, and a good person has a good reward.

After the tsunami, Uncle Lian Jie's two daughters were left with a terrible shadow, the eldest daughter could not sleep well for the first three days after returning to Hong Kong, and the younger daughter said that there would be waves rushing over whenever she saw water. Recalling the feeling of facing death, Uncle Lian Jie gave birth to a lot of sighs about life: "Life is difficult to predict, cherish every day, including making movies, do your best every day, as for how to evaluate, it's someone else's business." Temptations in all directions are present in my life. It's just that I'm going to try to do my job well today and do what I'm going to do now, so the temptation is useless. Many people don't believe that I have only been to a nightclub once in a long time in Xiangjiang, and I just want to know what a nightclub is. I went to karaoke once to understand what karaoke is. Before I became a Buddhist, I lived a simple life, reading books and watching videos at home most of the time.

When I was younger, I also pursued fame and fortune. In the '70s, I bought a watch for my mother, then a color TV, and then a refrigerator. It makes me feel amazing because people would praise my mother for having such a son. But after a certain stage of pursuit, people suddenly find that money cannot be taken away no matter what. I believe that many rich people are still miserable, and they still haven't seen through the world. I think money doesn't mean anything to me anymore, and what I can really give back to human beings is what I want to consider, and it is also the direction and motivation of my efforts. ”

Uncle Lian Jie's perception of life is exchanged for the price of life. After the tsunami, Jet Li stayed quietly at home for a while, adjusted himself, and after this incident, he understood something about the meaning of life. Therefore, for charity, he is sincere, and he is also a business that he is really ready to use with the rest of his life to work hard to run.

Zhou Fangyuan knew about Uncle Lian Jie's experience, but his previous understanding was only one-sided. knew that there was such a thing, and knew that it happened to the number of connections, but the specific process, including Uncle Lian Jie's personal thoughts, he had no way of knowing before. Now that he knows all this, Uncle Lian Jie's image in his heart has become even taller.

As for Uncle Lian Jie's thoughts, he probably understands now, and it is not difficult to see what One Foundation has been doing in the original time and space, basically focusing on the disaster area and the victims, especially the various difficulties in the life and growth of children in the disaster area, and the One Foundation will come up with a lot of plans to help. It just so happened that Zhou Fangyuan was here now, preparing to work with Huatai on the project of the pension community, and he suddenly had an idea, could he merge the two projects?

In most places in the country, Huatai and Yuanfang Group work together to engage in pension communities. For example, is it possible to quickly build such a community, so that the people who are seriously affected by the disaster can live in it almost free of charge, and provide them with a short period of living space, so that they can have a place to live and a place to live before the new homes built by the government are completed. Including those children who have lost their parents, they can also live here, grow up together, study together, the cost can be from the government, or from the One Foundation, for the care of children, a complete semi-closed community, to a certain extent, will it be more convenient? It is also easier for children to come out of the shadows?

Zhou Fangyuan told Uncle Lian Jie his thoughts.
