I only started to understand the concept of environmental protection 14 years ago. I was an ambassador for a charity event, and the staff told me that the consumption of disposable chopsticks in China, per year, could result in the devastation of unimaginable acres of forest.

I love raising awareness and encouraging people to take action for World Environment Day, because it demonstrates how individual voices can become a global chorus for change.

I cannot imagine my hometown without forests, and I cannot imagine the earth turned into a desert.

I wish to create trends rather than follow them.

I always have my own attitude towards everything in life.

I used to think hard work made me come alive, honestly. I used to have a daily work schedule with millions of things on it and I thought, This is wonderful!

Perseverance is my biggest lesson. When I started to get involved in environmental protection some years ago, my people did not take it seriously and they never considered it important. But today, people look at what I do and they truly recognize those efforts, and eventually they join you as environmental activists too!

Environment protection weighs the same in my life as my professional acting career.

To me, my nephew is the angel of my world. It is my absolute happiest moment whenever he smiles at me.

It may surprise people to learn that one elephant is killed every 15 minutes for its ivory.

All I want to say is that life is very fragile. We should live every moment and cherish what we have been given.
