Li has prioritised travel in recent years, frequently travelling without a set itinerary and staying wherever she feels like it. In another post, she said, “The wind is gentle, just like my heart.”

Learnt to love the adventure

She gets to know her parents better because they are a part of many of her travels.

She mentioned her mother’s increasing patience and her father’s softer temper, saying, “It turns out these trips are healing for them too.”
Li discussed her present level of contentment in an interview with Marie Claire.

She co-manages an entertainment company with her sister Li Xue, representing celebrities like Zhou Ye and Gülnezer Bextiyar. She now has more personal freedom after stepping away from acting. She treats her sister’s children as if they were her own and is very involved in their lives.

Relaxed attitude about marriage

She learns English, works out, and skis to stay active and embrace ageing gracefully.

Following her breakthrough performance in the 1999 movie Seventeen Years, Li went on to star in successful films such as Detective Dee, The Forbidden Kingdom, and The Message. She is also well-known throughout the world for her parts in The Meg, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Resident Evil: Retribution.
