Expressing displeasure over the fact that the theme of Martial Arts movies is "always revenge," Chinese actor Jet Li has told the Los Angeles Times newspaper that he will no longer make such films.
Li made his remarks on the eve of the opening of his latest film, Fearless, about a Chinese martial arts master who died in 1910.
"In this movie and in my past three movies, I continue to say that violence is not any solution," Li told the LA Times.
He said that he had become concerned that the spirit of martial arts, wushu, had become lost in movies, especially when young people confronted him.
"On the street, I see a lot of young teenagers saying, 'Hey, Jet Li. Beat up somebody! Fight! Fight!" The true meaning of wushu, he said, is "stop fighting."
So, Mr Li what are you going to do next?
