Traveling abroad at a very young age opened up Jet Li's minds. He learned to think independently from an early age. After winning five all-round championships in China, Jet Li decided that he would rather do something else now that he had already achieved a considerable height. His consummate skills in martial arts ... won him a lot of opportunities.
