Three weeks after he wrote the letters to the Chinese leaders, Jet Li was received by the leaders in Peking and Deng Xiao-Ping wrote him a letter to encourage him. Two more weeks later, a person conveyed Deng Ying-Chao's wishes to him but forgot the pears that Deng Ying-Chao gave to him. The reason that Jet Li devoted himself into his One Fund was partially because of the advices from those leaders.
