Action star Jet Li recently travelled to New York, the United States, for his youngest daughter Jada's graduation ceremony.
In a Weibo post, Li, who has kept a low profile in recent years, shared his joy at seeing all four of his daughters successfully complete their college education.
'Dad is at the bottom of the list, with not even a diploma,' the 62-year-old joked in the caption, before adding, 'This is the highlight of my life, so please allow me to show off!'
Accompanying his post were five photos – including two with Jada, 22, and one of him at the graduation hall.
While in New York, Li also spent time with his 25-year-old daughter Jane, exploring the city together by taking the train, strolling through Central Park and enjoying hot dogs.
The actor, who was born in mainland China, also expressed his gratitude to the ethusiastic fans who gathered outside his hotel in the US just to meet him.
'It was a rare half-day of leisure. I thought to myself how nice it is to enjoy such a simple and ordinary day.
'The moment I returned to the hotel, my world changed. I was blocked at the entrance. Thank you all for still liking me after all these years,' he wrote.
Li has two younger daughters – Jada (middle) and Jane – from his second marriage to actress Nina Li Ching. For the record, Li has two older daughters – Si Li, 37, and Taimi, 35 – from his first marriage to former actress Huang Qiuyan, which ended in divorce in 1990.
In 1999, Li went on to marry fellow actress Nina Li Ching, with whom he shares Jane and Jada.
Although rumours have circulated about a strained relationship between Li and his two older daughters following his divorce from Huang, the actor personally denied these claims in 2023.
Li debuted with the 1982 film Shaolin Temple and has starred in projects such as Once Upon A Time In China (1991 to 1997), Romeo Must Die (2000), The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (2008) and more.
His last acting project was Disney's 2020 live-action remake of Mulan .
