Li was recently pictured in Tibet eating dumplings, and he looked quite ill in the pictures. He also looked weaker than his usual self. His manager revealed that the photos shouldn’t worry his fans as they are just some pictures of a 55-year-old who has not been keeping well, but he is not in any critical duress.

Li revealed that in 2013, doctors warned him that if he continues doing physically demanding films, he would end up in a wheelchair, and would be in worse shape in a few months. But Li confirms that he is in some pain but he is not in a wheelchair yet.

It looks like Li is staying away from action films, for now, a genre which is almost solely responsible for his legacy. But he is obviously under medical compulsions. He is set to play a major role in the live-action Mulan film in 2020, but that wouldn’t require him to perform any stunts.
