Jet Li’s Daughter Posts Touching Tribute To Her Mum Nina Li Chi On The Latter’s 59th Birthday

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has meant that loved ones who are separated by continents aren’t able to meet each other as often.

Jet Li’s 20-year-old daughter Jane is currently in the US where she's studying in Harvard University. As a result, when her mum, '80s screen goddess Nina Li Chi, turned 59 on December 31, she wasn't able to celebrate the occasion in person.

On New Year’s Eve, Jane posted a touching tribute to Nina on IG Stories, writing: “Happy birthday mum. I hope you’ll always be as happy as you are today. To me, you’re still as beautiful as you were 20 years ago. Even though I don’t always agree with your methods, I know that [your actions] come from a good place. I can’t celebrate your birthday with you this year but I hope you know how much I love you. I’ll always be your daughter.”

Her words gave a rare insight to the relationship between mother and daughter, with netizens pointing out that few celeb kids would openly admit to disagreeing with their parents on social media.

“Her account is public, so I’m sure she knows that the media is watching her,” one netizen wrote. Another quipped: “Her admission that she doesn’t always agree with her mum either means they’ve settled their differences, or she’s declaring war on her mum. But I don’t think she’d do the latter on her birthday, would she?”

Jane and her 17-year-old sister Jada are believed to have spent most of their childhood in Singapore, where they studied at an international school before heading to the US for college.
