NEW JET LI ACTION MOVIE 2018 (the movie actually dates back to 1994) - Fist Of Legend, is great classic martial arts movie, whose main character is Li Lianjie (courtesy name Yangzhong; born 26 April 1963), a world-renowned Kung Fu legend by his stage name Jet Li. Jet Li is a Chinese film actor, film producer, martial artist, and retired Wushu champion who was born in Beijing, but naturalized as a Singaporean citizen.
Jet Li won his first national championship for the Beijing Wushu Team, after three years of training with acclaimed Wushu teacher Wu Bin. He retired from competitive Wushu at age 19, and went on to win great acclaim in China as an actor, making his debut with the film Shaolin Temple (1982). He starred in many critically acclaimed martial arts epic films, most notably as the lead in Zhang Yimou's Hero (2002), one of which is the famous Fist of Legend (1994), provided here below, and the first three films in Once Upon a Time in China series (1991–1993), in which he portrayed folk hero Wong Fei-hung as explained here.
In this movie, Chen Zhen, a Chinese engineering student in Kyoto, who braves the insults and abuse of his Japanse fellow students for his local love Mitsuko Yamada, daughter of the director, returns in 1937 to his native Shanghai, under Japanse protectorate - in fact, military occupation - after reading about the death of his kung-fu master Huo Yuan Jia in a fight against the Japanese champion Ryuichi Akutagawa. While overcoming suspicion and ambition within the kung-fu school, Chen exhumes his master to prove Hou's defeat was the result of poisoning. Both nationalities make the case a test of honor, so Chinese and Japanese pride is at stake when it culminates in Chen's final epic duel against the ruthless, undefeated Japanese general Fujita.
