Movie star Jet Li was in New York recently to attend his youngest daughter Jada’s graduation ceremony.

The 62-year-old has been married to former actress Nina Li Chi, 63, since 1999 and they have two daughters – Jane, 25, and Jada, 22. He has two older daughters – Li Si and Li Taimi – from an earlier marriage to former actress Huang Qiuyan.

“All my four daughters have graduated from college,” Jet Li wrote on Weibo in Chinese on May 25. “I am at the bottom of the pile as I do not even have a primary school certificate. Please allow me to brag a little as this is the highlight of my life.”

The China-born Singapore actor posted photos of himself with both Jane and Jada, as well as one photo with Jada.

“She is finally free to pursue her dreams after more than 10 years of hard work,” Li added. “Congratulations to my youngest daughter, Jada, for graduating from college.”

According to various Chinese-language media outlets, his four daughters received their tertiary education in the United States.

Jada graduated from Barnard College, while Jane is a graduate of Harvard University. Li revealed in a Weibo post earlier in May that his second daughter Taimi is an ophthalmologist.

The actor also took the opportunity to tour New York while he was in the city.

“My daughter accompanied me to take the subway and visit Central Park,” he wrote on Weibo on May 24. “We ate hot dogs. I relaxed for a while and told myself that this kind of ordinary day is so carefree.”

Jet Li, whose last movie role was in the Hollywood live-action film Mulan (2020), also posted photos of himself signing autographs and posing with fans when he returned to the hotel.

“Thank you for still supporting me after so many years,” he wrote, expressing his appreciation for the fans who queued outside the hotel on a rainy day.
